Probably Pogba being in a double pivot with Fred
It was nice to dream for a little while.

Yes but it's the top thing to complain about.They play in different positions so this is an odd comparison.
James can match Adama on pace. DvB can't even find a passWhy not switch Pogba with James and put VDB next to Fred, we must be the only team around happy to play with a hand tied behind our backs. So frustratin.
Donny is obviously not even an option for Ole, so that rules him out. And has he actually even shown more than James?Pogba of course and Donny in CM.
Agree, actually fairly happy with the lineup today. Better than the previous few. James is a question mark though and we will have to see how Pogba performs back in the deeper role again. Lets see.Imagine seeing a line up where we're starting our exiting new signings Sancho and Varane for the first time, and dropping the double pivot for a more attacking midfield, and your only thought is to whinge about Dan James
Exciting line up, looking forward to this!
How many times did they actually play together in a 2?Read it a few months ago, may have been when they have completed 90 minutes together in a 2.
The win was vs Fulham last season.
Well he is. So let's just wait and see how he actually performs. And then comment on that.Very poor lineup. James shouldn’t even be on the bench, let alone start
But easy to move Pogba to LM and out DVB in CM. That way you get the best of Pogba and actually try and get something started with DVB.They play in different positions so this is an odd comparison.
Time for an online petition me things. I've even stopped trying to make sense of these and just keep waiting for someone here to translate it into an actual lineup.Can we just stop with that fecking numbering layout already? Should I write them an angry letter?
True, but you'd be wanting Greenwood to track back to deal with Adama and stay wide to stretch things against the back 3 and we may be left short of quality and in form options on the bench to change things if we fall behind.Let’s be honest, it’s James for Cavani away from our strongest line up (if we’re using Pogba in midfield).
In how many games?Only 1 win in over two years with Pogba and Fred in a midfield 2
That’s our Pele you’re talking about, now.I think i'd rather have James starting over Martial, thats how bad Martial is.
Bruno & Pogba are fit and in form he is never gonna start ahead of them when that's the case.Van de Beek still can't buy a game
Had this debate with a few people recently, they just would not have it that he’d get games. Almost like if they said he would leave, it would end up happening.jAmEs wonT pLaY muCh tHiS sEasOn
Me tooI stupidly had Donny in instead of James...10/11. Go figure.
Parks quality wasn't as evident due to the presence of scholes, rooney and ronaldo.Genuinely think Ole sees James as our Park, except he lacks any footballing ability.
Runs about a bit, pretty much it.
It seems to be....Wolves play a back 3 so we are playing natural wingers.
Not that hard to understand is it?
I think it’ll be a two with Pogba and Fred. Won’t be secure enough with just Fred.Sancho and Varane
Dan James being used for the shop window (and to provide some defensive balance I'm sure with his work rate). Also plenty of pace in behind.
Should be a fun game. We'll see how the middle 3 does!
Bingo. Got it in one.It's a tactical decision to start James. Ole needs somebody that will track Traore.
I felt they were really good against Sevilla in the semi final of the Europa a couple seasons back. Hopefully we get the same today.I really hope Pogba and Fred can work well together today, we need it
James will bounce off him, if you think he’ll do anything else you having a laugh.James can match Adama on pace. DvB can't even find a pass
This is normal caftard behaviour in the matchday thread. Nearly ten years to the day we beat arsenal 8-2 with about 7 first choice players missing. You should have read the match day thread then, was pretty spicy and we had our greatest ever manager in charge then tooImagine seeing a line up where we're starting our exiting new signings Sancho and Varane for the first time, and dropping the double pivot for a more attacking midfield, and your only thought is to whinge about Dan James
Exciting line up, looking forward to this!
