I see Wolves are exciting as always.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Ha ha no he says he doesn't lift weights.
There's vids of him doing resistance training though so yeah doesn't 'lift weights' but it's as good as.
I do not rate him
In the immortal words of Steve McManaman:
I don't like Wolves.
I don't like Wolves.
Yeah, I get that. Others also don't rate him but calling him kick and run player is just wrong. One of the best dribblers in the league and he is one of those dribblers who uses his weaker foot too.
People obviously question his decision making or his productivity, but dribbling is one of his best attributes.
I do not rate his dribbling
Hopefully Sevilla v Wolves goes to penalties. The way wolves are set up 5 in defence and 3 CDMs they will be hard to score against or score themselves.
I have a lot of respect for Nuno and Wolves but feck me they're so boring. Neves in particular this game is kicking the ball away any time he gets it for all his supposed quality on the ball.
Yeah, there's ATM and Simeone, but feck me wolves are taking the piss now to defensive football.
Neves looks a pub player so far
Just seen a replay of the penalty. Keeper was off his line and the VAR (which is supposed to be looking at that now) did feck all.
Wolvfica are so fecking hard on the eye.
25% ball possession for Wolves.
There's nothing to respect. They bought a Europa League quality squad through questionable means while still in the Championship and got them to Europa League level - while playing 5 at the back shit on a stick football.
Like we were, pre-Bruno, but more effective. Yes.
I'm more confident facing Seville than Wolves to be honest.
I do not like green eggs and ham
Tbf when attackers stutter step before kicking like Jimenez, using VAR to detect GK off his line is criminally unfair on keepers
We call them Portuwolves here
I think both teams in the Wolves v Sevilla game have been ordinary. I know Wolves make any game the most uninteresting match in the world but even by their standards this has been dull, even with a missed penalty(!).
Looks like VAR are not bothering so no probs for cheating goalies.
Don't want to play wolves again.
But ocampos and regulon vs awb
navas and suso vs williams
We would need forwards to drop deep to help. The tag team on both sides will destroy us otherwise.

I think Wolves would be the toughest game for us from the teams remaining.
Stokerhampton I preferWe call them Portuwolves here
I fancied this one at 0-0 didn’t bet as I went for 1-0 last night
Commentator just working out Wolves tactics seem to be sit back and try and hit the opposition on the counter.
I mean it's not like Wolves do this against everyone or anything...

That's the goal of dribbling past defenders. James has speed. Why doesn't he do the same? Some players use their speed. Others use their short distance acceleration. Others use immense ball control. Others use tricks. Some use a combination. The entire goal is to go past a defender.
It's because they're media darlings so they must play free flowing, beautiful football
Are they ever involved in entertaining matches?
‘he who has the ball has fear’ Portuguese football doctrine as prescribed by Maureen.
For some reason a bunch of pundits and fans who I presume don't watch them often still consider Wolves an exciting attacking side, I guess because with some of the players they have you'd think they would be?
My point is that he relies more on his pace than technique most of the time. I mean the fact that his club uses baby oil on him says it all. He's such a gimmicky player, that's why they used to bring him off the bench.
Wolves are such a boring team.
Ever Benega must be at least 45 years at this stage
Man. City game. They also won 3-2 at Spurs.
Generally they have interesting matches against the other major clubs, just seems the Man. United games are bore fests for some reason.
Thought before kick off this could easily go to penalties and aside form the early Jimenez miss haven't seen much to suggest otherwise, two very tactically strong teams here that don't give out much space.
I think it's a few reasons.
They do have some quality players.
They do well often against the big sides
They seem to score a lot of spectacular goals, proper screamers.
So they have the reputation of a side that's attacking and good to watch, even though it's completely untrue. They're like Atletico.
Inter and Conte are the favorites for me.
How long before Wolves feck off?
They’ll have a lot more against us if they get through
How do Sevilla look lads? Can't watch
