Pogba's heart is not in it and it shows.Watched it again this morning - everything was about the first half and not taking our chances. Agree with you about the midfield, they were stifled second half. Ander would have made a difference, added some bite. It also shows in how few chances we created through the entire game. We should beat Palace.
McT is a very good squad player. He is nowhere as good as Ander.
Pogba is an attacking Midfielder and playing him deeper is a waste. But we have no choice.
The heart of the team is wobbly.
Pace, pressing and running will get you so far. In the end the forwards need support from a midfield that pushes forward.
The game itself could have been won even with the issues we have.
Their goal was a deflection off AWB's back.
And of course the missed penalty.
Importantly we should not elevate Wolves. Many teams play a defensive absorbing game and try and hit on the counter.
We need to put the game away first have or at least in the first 60 minutes.
It will take two or three seasons for the fitness levels to build up to 90 minutes.
We desperately need a midfielder to come in, in Jan.
