If he isn’t ready in 2 weeks, I can’t think who can play up frontIs Cavani likely to play, can't work out if he's ready yet, or not.
Isn't that quite simple? Who do you want to paly alongside Fred? Matic should be in the ambassador role already, he's absolutely attrocious. Half arsed Pogba there is better, and we can fill in the attacking positions easier. That's why, however in an ideal world I'd never move Pogba from LAM in a form like this. Things will have even different dynamics when Rashford and Ronaldo come to the team, they will just have to play because they are world class, so is Pogba and even in a deeper role he had some superb games and run it from midfield, just need a bit more discipline from Fred and all collective effort to defend better. Varane will make things much tighter at the back too.Why people want to move Pogba into midfield is beyond me. He is playing brilliantly from the left and we want to move one of our most inform players out of position to one who often struggles in? Muppet fever knows no logic. Everybody knows Pogba is not a natural CM.
You might be right but knowing our threats and their first two results, they won’t want to lose any points.Wolves don’t play like that anymore now Nuno’s gone. They’ve had 20+ shots in their opening two games.
I'll be happy with literally any combination of Fred, Matic, VdB and Pogba as long as it isn't Fred and Matic!Who would you have instead then?
I also think Matic will start but I'd prefer Donny. I suspect others are in the same boat.We're the only two who think this. Seems everyone else thinks VDB will start.
James and Shaw as wing backs?Hearing we could be playing a back three
Deserve to lose if that’s true.If James starts ahead of Sancho then f*ck me.
James is such a poor footballer for this level.If Varane and Sancho aren't starting then what have we bought them for??? Surely James won't be ahead of Sancho...
Wolves have a new manager and play differentlyWolves will sif deep, so I don't get the point of James
Still shouldn't be starting in that situation. We have other better attackersJames starting could be Pogba being pull back into CM alongside Fred?
James isn't good in most regardless of how the opposition playWolves have a new manager and play differently
Is that how they play now. They have had loads of chances in both their games.Wolves will sif deep, so I don't get the point of James
Something like:James starting could be Pogba being pull back into CM alongside Fred?
Nothing to do with what I posted.James isn't good in most regardless of how the opposition play
Better not happen. Sick of seeing him stink up the place.If I see Dan James starting and Sancho on the bench I'm gonna throw up.
Matic has played a lot of very good games for us last season. Just because he had a bad first game(he always starts the season slow), I dont think he is atrocious. He is a okay squad player. Playing Pogba deeper is not the answer. Maybe in case of an injury crisis, sure. I would rather play VdB. And ideally buy a new CM.Isn't that quite simple? Who do you want to paly alongside Fred? Matic should be in the ambassador role already, he's absolutely attrocious.
We have been doing this bullshit for years, telling ourselves Pogba as a CM experiment will work out. Play an attacking midfielder deeper, and hope he magically becomes a deep lying playmaker just because his passing is good. Didnt work with Gerrard, didnt work with Rooney, wont work with Pogba.So let's hope it gives Pogba some extra energy to put in more effort and not overcomplicate things because he will inevitably play for us from deep this season again. When in possession with all those incredible players making runs for him I think his passing range and vision will be utilised even at the expense of a little bit open midfield.
