Man Utd v Wolves comms thread.

[Steampunk Rules OK]

Not anticipating getting anything from this, the only advantage to watching it on Sky is if we really are as
bad as I fear we might be I can turn it off!

 

[astraltrader]

Fully agree my friend.
Great to see you back with the comms thread again Jack.
COYW!!!

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Team 6/10
M6 1/10

Silva last 30 to score the winner....

 

[Hawkguy]

Have any of you lot not realised a game of football is 100 minutes long these days?

Cunha is class. Get behind the team.

They key to us scoring is hoping that we get a different Neto and Sarabia this season.

He better be class for 50 million.

 

[Berlin Wolf]

I was expecting two up front. A No 9, either Fabio or Sasa to start, with Cunha as No 10.

 

[A3wolf]

Happy with that line up.

I think he’s ran with JL’s plans to be honest regarding starting line up. If that’s what they’ve been preparing for, in all honestly it makes sense to stick with and evolve it over time.

Yes, how I see it. GON’s only been there a few days so expected him to pick the same team as vs Rennes so thought he would pick Hodge too.
Don’t doubt Fabio and Sasa will get a good chance soon and just happy Cunha is fit to play as well.

 

[groundhogwolf]

You have to play 2 up top with this side

Not sure what Sarabia has done to deserve his spot

Corners and free kicks.

 

[Hawkguy]

I was expecting two up front. A No 9, either Fabio or Sasa to start, with Cunha as No 10.

He's likely not comfortable changing the team with only a few days with the squad. He'll get his own identity in the coming weeks.

 

[Brixton Wanderer]

You will be blaming JL if we lose thi one heavily then

What are you on about?

 

[Wswolf]

WAs hoping for a better lineup but i think with this we eill be 3 or 4 down before he changes it at halftime

 

[Tring Wolf]

Just settling down at a Sports Bar in Rhodes full of United fans.

Really need Semedo to keep Garnacho under control. Don’t fancy him cutting in and getting a run against Dawson.

 

[Berlin Wolf]

Yes, that seems to be the case Hawkguy.

Give em hell when we put our fourth in!

 

[Wolf316]

Should have been Fabio over Sarabia.

 

[Ned]

Pretty much what we expected. Hopefully we offer a threat on the break and can bring on the forwards second half if we are still in the game.

Performance and attitude so important tonight. We might get beaten, probably will, but how we play is so important tonight!

Come on boys, on it from the off!!!

 

[UEAwolf]

As for Sky MNF… new season, new studio, same crap. We got our interview with GON and 2 min uninformed pundit discussion, and that’s it. Manchester all the way… funny enough, maybe I’m actually watching Manchester Night Football?

We're going to take you into the eyes of player x.

Isn't this the most inane thing you've seen?

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

Absolutely certain that GON will very quickly play with an orthodox #9 - but for now he's gone with the team as prepared by Lopetegui. He's already said four days isn't long enough for major changes.
Let's have some common sense on the Mix (runs for cover...)

 

[luiandlui]

Suspect that’s the exact team JL would have picked

 

[ombyman]

Literally everyone on here can see it

Why can’t managers?

I honestly think the formation is non negotiable. A think tank in China decided on it. It's very odd, but appears to be the case as they all have done the 4 since the switch under Nuno

 

[VancouverWolf]

some things never change. got to love this thread.

Yeah……Gary hasn’t even started a game and already his selection is deemed to be wrong.

 

[StaffordWolf]

Would have love to see Silva start but come on lads! Same side that started against Rennes (I think) which makes sense from GO's perspective, it certainly worked then. Expect Silva, Sasa and Hwang to come on in the 2nd half.

 

[Asthmatic Wolf]

Would like nothing more than to shove a result down the throats of these presumptuous **** in print and on air.

 

[old wittonian]

Yeah……Gary hasn’t even started a game and already his selection is deemed to be wrong.

By Elite Mixers.

 

[Oh Robbie Robie]

The naivety around here that we are going to Old Trafford to play them at their own game and score more goals then them is beyond belief. This is a very defensive line up for a reason. O'Neil doesn't want us to get hammered in the first game. Anything other than a stuffing is a result to him. Can't say I blame him given what's gone on in the last few months.

 

[Brockmoorwolf]

I was expecting two up front. A No 9, either Fabio or Sasa to start, with Cunha as No 10.

Well silva is a no 10 and they taking it easy with sasa, as was said by GON sasa was getting tired towards end of training sessions so not fit enough to start.

 

[MotorWoden]

Think that’s too early. Man Utd away with a couple of full days with the team at Compton? Nah, he needs to adapt what we did pre season first, and evolve as he gets more time with the players in training.

I meant different as in not playing Cunha up front on his own. Lots of pre season where that didn't happen.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

On the face it a bewildering front two. Sarabia ?! That 's definitely a. ' ....Wolves 0' ... unless he changes it. Pick Fabio FFS!

 

[Wolf316]

Yeah……Gary hasn’t even started a game and already his selection is deemed to be wrong.

It’s a discussion and posters just giving their opinions.

 

[Brockmoorwolf]

How many minutes extra time do we think if utd are losing.

I will go with 12

 

[bod101]

Disappointed with the front 3 otherwise ok. Watching in Rome in some "Irish" bar

 

[blakenhall wolf]

MNF Zzzzzzzz

20 mins of Chelsea v Liverpool

Wolves had 2 minutes.

I get the feeling is people wanted something different, namely with the front 3.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Sarabia’s set-piece delivery is the best in the squad, I don’t mind it but I think he and Sasa would be better. Maybe off the bench though, I’d start Cunha and Fab.

Think villa tried this on Saturday???? Currently bottom of the Premier league!!!

 

[The Pie Poker]

It's Lopetegi's lineup so everything tonight is 100% his fault.

Hopefully this comment ages terribly.

Got it on, sound off until they eventually mention us.

 

[Rabid Wolf]

MNF Zzzzzzzz

20 mins of Chelsea v Liverpool

Wolves had 2 minutes.

Newcastle Villa now.

 

[DDPPwolf313]

Formations don't mean a fat lot these days, they are that fluid.

I just want to see us defend in numbers, press when we can, and commit bodies forward when we have good opportunities. Happy thats Nouri and Gomes start.

Just happy the footballs back and we can focus on the on-field stuff

 

[Oh Robbie Robie]

Think villa tried this on Saturday???? Currently bottom of the Premier league!!!

Alex Ferguson has just said that the team that impressed him this weekend was Villa... but they let in some bad goals.
And he's not really far wrong in that assessment as Villa did play pretty well but then got overrun by the Toon.
He still should have said Newcastle though as they coped with Villa well.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Who’s missing from the bench, anyone?

I know Jonny and Podence are bomb squad but anyone else?
