    No McTom and Pogba plus home advantage for Wolves means a near certain defeat. Wolves 2 United 1 i reckon.

    We are expecting to lose so we will win. Every single result this season has gone unexpectedly, expect maybe Norwich.

    They will counterattack us, they always do against top sides. So if we don’t find a moment of brillance and score first they end up hunting us on a counter.
    Luckily for us, Wolves are game-raising cnuts and we are not a top side anymore. So we.l might stand a chance.

    Don't really care for the results as it stands, Solskjaer and the players are incapable of getting top four.

    I quite like the FA cup but we can do without it this year.

    We've got a decent chance of domestic cup with the League Cup and then we need to concentrate every effort on the League and the Europa League.

    I hope Ole plays the U18s.

    Maybe rest Matic and Fred for this one. Unless we're finishing the paperwork for two shiny new midfielders...

    I'd like to see Levitt & Garner.

    I can see us going on a bit of a slide now and all we need is to lose either Rashford or Martial and then we will be in dire straits.
    Wolves are an impressive side so I really cannot see us getting anything out of this game.

    The thought of our midfield lineup on Saturday fills me with complete and utter dread. I can see the likes of Jones having to do a job in there.

    If we don't sign at least a creative midfielder then may as well just write off top four and forget winning the europa league either because that ain't happening.

    I know howson from FTD gets a lot of stick but he had it bang on when he said you either back him this window or you may as well sack him tonight.

    I actually want us to lose this one. 4 competitions is going to harm our (slim) chances in the other ones. The squad isn't big enough. Go Wolves.

    Genuinely don't give a shit about this. Vital that we rest Fred, Rashford and Martial. Play Romero and hopefully Dalot.

    If I see Lingard in the line up for this, i'm not even wasting my Saturday night on this crap.

    What exactly will be the point in going with Lingard for this game?
    Wolves have a settled midfield and a clever front 2. We play anything as static as we did against the Arse and we may as well give up the FA Cup right now.

    Wolves are going to be tired after the Christmas schedule also so I’m expecting both teams to ring the changes

    I dont care if its wolves. lets put a midfield 3 in there and give garner a chance. no accountability at this club. people can be shite for months and still get picked. Williams and greenwood from the start also please.

    They will kill us. As usual we will see how a team plays and run together, how a fit team should be and what a real coach is.

    We don't have the squad to play PL, EL, Cup, LC. In two weeks will be out of two domestic cups, so only remaining 20/25 games max this season with this thin squad is ok. (Ironic I am, and of course and so depressed)

    My Team :

    --------------------------------------Romero------------------------------------
    Young--------------Lindelof------------Jones----------------Williams
    ---------------------------------------Matic---------------------------------------
    -----------------------Pereira------------------Fred-----------------------------
    Greenwood---------------------Martial--------------------------James

    We could well be in for a treat if Traore starts. The lad completed a record FIFTEEN dribbles yesterday against Watford. For context, Daniel James has completed TWENTY dribbles in as many games this season. You wouldn't back Williams or even Shaw against him.

    After all the hot air Matic blew over not being selected I expected more from him when he did come into the team. If he could deliver then we'd have a decent chance.

    Man, feck the FA cup, we don't have the squad depth to deal with all these injuries and different competitions. Just play most of the youth players and whatever happens, it happens. We need to prioritise at the moment.

    In fairness to James, the dribbles completed stat doesn't tell the whole story.

    James is capable of terrifying defenders with his off the ball running but he needs service for this.

    Oh to have a fit and firing Pogba in midfield to find him with those vertical balls.

    Fred has done well but he's still a short range passer and the less said about our other midfield options the better.
