Adama Traore running full speed at you is frightening. It's like having an SEC running back running free.


That was my thought too. That guy is built for the SEC!

Interesting stat that Ole is the first manager that's made it to 100 EPL games since SAF

Under Nuno Wolves had the lowest workrate in the EPL. They literally ran the least. This version is 100% polar opposite. It's like playing Leeds.

Yep. Feels like we are playing with 9 men and they have 13.

This Pogba/Fred pairing isn't going to work. It's got Pogba sitting back at a 6 and Fred higher. Pogba is too deep to affect play.

"There's a lot of quality on this United side. We're not seeing much of it."

I love British announcers. Such a knack for describing what we are all seeing.

And just now calling out United for "going to ground and moaning about the referee. They're getting closed out and they don't like it."

Bruno has 2 cards in 2.5 games. He will be on an accumulation suspension by October at this rate.

That was a terrible half, but at least we didn't give up any goals. Ole needs to make some changes at half to address us getting overrun in the midfield

I'm with MathGuy - need to put Pogba in a better position to influence the attack.

If Ole is reading TexAgs he should know that I'm telling him to take James off, move Sancho to RW, Pogba and Fred to flip and bring Cavani in at 9 with Greenwood wide.

Robbie said the same thing. Pogba is too deep. I'm a genius.

Has anyone ever seen Mathguy and Robbie Earle in the same place?

VdB for James
Move Pogba to LW
Sancho to RW
Sell Fred for 2 meat pies, cross train Lindelof at the 6 until we can buy a proper DM

I don't know why I'm surprised, but no changes at half

We are practically clones. Except for the fact that I'm an old fat white guy.

Cavani for James. Ole does read TA after all.

How have Wolves gone 0-0-2 and not scored a goal on the season?

That double save was vintage "best keeper in the world" DDG.

It was dissent. And there will be a lot more if it the last 10 minutes.

Probably already been said a couple of times. But, Wolves should have put us away a number of times. AWB with a fantastic save and DDG with 2 saves. Wolves leave the door cracked. Greenwood turning into a very special player.

Lucky to get any points. Ecstatic to get all 3.

The good?

This was a solid result. Wolves are 0-0-3 with no goals scored and I don't see how. We played better than the final line of 1-0. So did they.

The back 4 played really well. I never once worried that they were panicked. Both Shaw and AWB did their jobs dealing with the freight train known as Traore. Maguire and Varane both played very well. And DDG was the DDG of old.

Greenwood is a scorer.

The bad?

Fred. But we knew that. We need a CDM/6. That would free Pogba to play higher up the pitch. Sancho also struggled but I think he was on the wrong side because we started James.

Yeah. One of the best things from Man U this season is Pogba's play and today we saw VERY little of that.

Just don't think that Fred/Pogba is a good combination. I think Pogba combined with Matic from the Chelsea days would be great but it doesn't seem like Matic is that player anymore.
