[Jaxa]

We'll ease Cavani in with 10 minutes, ease Varane in with 20 minutes and go a little wild and ease Sancho in some more with a whole 30 minutes. They should all be up and running some time around February.

Far too optimistic,

It's been a year and we are still easing in Donny, can't wait to see Varane and Sancho in the 23/24 season

 

[Giant Midget]

Maguire was very poor indeed but bar pogba I thought the rest were walking in treacle. Those passages of play where a ball is there to be won, bouncing around and being awkward, we are atrocious at taking control in those moments. Someone will just tap it chest high and so it goes on until the opposition bring it under control it’s so frustrating!

Matic was so bad with this. He was heading away high balls even when he was unchallenged and in space. Fecking bring it down and get your foot on the ball ffs. So frustrating

4-1 win for United, Sancho goal, Cavani brace and Pogba to twat it in from inside his own box inside 30 seconds.

 

[lenny_1248]

Cavani

He won't be ready to start.
And why bench Mason? He scored in both games.

 

[SuperiorXI]

Why not?

Cavani is better in the middle but you make a good point, maybe have Greenwood on the right, Sancho on the left and Cavani in the middle. Pogba for Fred in the midfield.

I said in May that Wolves would end our unbeaten away run.

Nostradamus!

Would go for this but would still have AWB in for Dalot.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

I have an idea. Why don't we start our best players instead of rotate and let pedestrian and past it players get minutes in what was the SECOND game of the season.

If it’s Matic you’re referring to then it was made clear that McT would only get around 30 mins. Otherwise it was the same pedestrian players who thumped Leeds

Cavani is better in the middle but you make a good point, maybe have Greenwood on the right, Sancho on the left and Cavani in the middle. Pogba for Fred in the midfield.

He played the Copa America and hasn’t trained since. His fitness has to be managed. So it’s no use playing a 75% fit Cavani. And before you say it, no he would not be better than the others even at that percentage because it would risk injury

Neves to have a stormer and us to scrape another draw.

No place for Donny then, lets face it if he's in the subs list he will just be there to keep that bench warm yet again wondering what he did wrong

 

[Ali Dia]

Not all that confident about this one unless Cavani is fit to play. If he is Pogba and Bruno will find him and we will be fine. I fancy Cavani to hit 15 in the league this season… No matic please and martial only if we 2 up. Let them earn their next start from off the bench.

Why would you drop the guy who's scored in the first two games for a half fit Cavani?

We also don't know what the deal is with McT. He's been carrying an injury since the opening day but managed 90 mins against Leeds. Hopefully he's fit for Wolves.

 

[UNITED ACADEMY]

Matic and Martial started last game was a surprising. However, this is the least I expect:

DDG
AWB Varane Maguire Shaw
McTominay Fred
Sancho Fernandes Pogba
Greenwood​

A must win match. Play Donny instead of Fred would be nice and good match to give him a chance after terrible performance by our midfield last weekend and I don’t see it as big risk since we played Donny vs wolves away few months ago and we still won.

 

[RonaldoVII]

This one game a week lark is shite. When you win you want that feeling in a few days and when you don't win you want to put it right. Can't wait for the international window to pass and we get cracking in Europe.

Must win this really or things start to unravel.

 

[Galactic]

How good were Wolves over the weekend?

 

[RuudTom83]

The team always gets ahead of themselves after a big win…thinking it’s easy and they just need to show up.

Ole failed to get the attitude right for the Southampton game.

But I fully expect the team to be up for this game.

7 points from the opening 3 games is a decent start.

C’mon Varane!

 

[DWelbz19]

How good were Wolves over the weekend?

I think they've been alright under Lage, a bit unlucky in both 1-0 losses.

After Sunday Fred, Matic and Martial should be nowhere near the starting eleven.

 

[Adisa]

Another draw.

 

[OleTheGreat]

I think Ole will definitely start Sancho and Varane

De Gea
AWB Varane Maguire Shaw
Mctominay
Bruno Pogba
Sancho Greenwood Martial

This would be the ideal setup I'd like to see but this will be the team he's send out

De Gea
AWB Varane Maguire Shaw
Mctominay Fred
Bruno
Sancho Greenwood Pogba

I hate we still playing the double pivot but Ole thinks he has no choice. Mctominay will fair well in the holding role because he is robust, tackles hard and covers a lot of ground. He has a good passing range and can play those short passes well. He just needs to keep it simple and feed Pogba and Bruno ahead of him and I think he's capable of that. Ole just needs to trust him and ask him to play the deeper role before signing someone who's a specialist in that window before the window ends. Definitely don't play Fred, Matic and Martial. VDB needs to go out there in the 60'.

 

[V.O.]

In the immortal words of Steve McManaman... I don't like Wolves.

Here's hoping the games against them are a bit less dire now that Nuno has fecked off.

 

[Gator Nate]

I'm guessing the below team will play regularly this season so get them together for the last game before the break.

Agreed!

 

[Glorio]

I think we'll win. We had that horrible habit last season of following scintillating performances up with poor ones. It's something Ole even hinted at when he said this team needs to learn how to handle good press. I'm hoping that issue gets resolved and quickly.

This team is great with backs against the wall, but they need to be that way even when things are going great too.

Saw something on Sky about Scott missing the international break with injury, sounds like he'll be unavailable.

 

[CM]

Varane and Sancho both need to start here. No messing about.

 

[Red Shorts]

Draw written all over this for me, will be harder to break down than Southampton were. Going 0-0

 

[The Corinthian]

Really need to win this and show our response following a lacklustre performance against So'ton.

I'd go with...

DdG

Shaw
Maguire
Varane
AWB

Fred
McTominay

Pogba
Bruno
Sancho

Mason

If Cavani is fit, I'd give him a run out too.

 

[Dve]

McTominay is injured.

 

[Deery]

Pogba will be the difference 2-0 United..

 

[golden_blunder]

Lindelof will start.

I wouldn’t because Wolves main tactic is Traore to Jiminez, header.

 

[golden_blunder]

Hoping Lindelof gets the nod. Been a real difference maker so far.

Making a difference to me getting a stress headache

 

[#07]

Anyone else getting this eerie feeling that Neves is going to run this game, we'll lose it and then panic buy him afterwards?

 

[#07]

Just seen that Mike Dean is the referee for this game.

That's the unbeaten run done then.

 

[Nicoseth]

Matic?

Yeah - no chance I'd have him starting this, or any other game.

 

[Nicoseth]

It just seems a little odd after Lindelof had a very commanding first game, then today he was better of the two while Maguire was making mistakes left and right.

Maguire was poor against Soton, but he's much better than Lindelof. Varane replacing either Lindelof or Maguire isn't even a discussion - clearly Lindelof.
