Man Utd v Wolves 1/2/20

[pacamac]

Looking forward to this, managed to get hold of a ticket. Not been to Old Trafford since the Henri Camara miss game!

What's the quickest way to get back to the City Centre after the game? Tram? Queues at the station bad? Could do with being on the 8.05pm train back if possible.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Really looking forward to this one. Bar should be busy, we have a few Yanited fans in there. They were all taking the piss when we got beat by Liverpool at Molineux, I really , really want to stuff them.

 

[Pablowolf]

Watching this in Cardiff somewhere with three United fans. I really hope we batter them.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Will Matic be suspended after his red tonight?

 

[The Bear]

Yes he misses our game.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They need to get the Bruno deal done otherwise their midfield is looking rather bereft. I'm sure they will. It needs to be by Friday midday I think.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Utd Fans were telling me he does not miss a league game because it's a cup Comp

Just checked and he is indeed suspended, which is a shame as he is garbage

Well, he is going to miss the final

Yellow cards are competition specific but if you get a red card (regardless of how it comes about) the suspension is treated as normal. So next game, regardless of comp you are banned.

Even then, I'm not sure he'd be ready to be thrown in after barely training with them.

Begs the question what type of midfield they'd send out, though. Maybe they'll be desperate.

I think this is a bit of a cup final for us. We have been playing some great stuff and getting little reward. We lost to these a few weeks ago and history is certainly on their side at old trafford but they are not the Manchester United side of old and can be beaten and unsettled. They did really well in a no lose battle at City this week but they will have had three games since our last one. Its not a must win but its a dont lose for us. I would love to put them too the sword. Incredibly I think that may be due. We have been bang unlucky against them Liverpool and Spurs this season. We should also be on a high given how well we have been playing depsite results.

I keep saying this but we really MUST score first. Its such an irritant. We are better than that.Score first and win 3-1

As an aside- My Liverpool supporting friend couldnt get tickets today for the Shrewsbury replay. Demand is that high. He thinks at sell out ! Amazing for the Shrews.

McTominay may well be back.

Yeah, I feel the same. Not exactly season-defining, but if we get a win there and Spurs lose we'll be in great shape to cement a top-6 finish. (And if Chelsea lose, well, who knows?)

 

[The Bion]

If the back 3 could avoid having a massive collective brainfart this time around I think we'll be fine

 

[Kenny]

....................Rui

Boly...........Coady.......Saiss

Doc....Mout......Neves.....Jonny

Traore.........Raul........Neto


Ruddy
Donck
Kilman
Giles
Jota
Podence
New Striker/Campana


I think Nuno will start with Jota but it will be harsh on Neto to drop him right now.


Don't think MGW will make it, he limped off on 90 mins last night. Think he took a smack in the back and tried to play on for 10 mins or so before giving in.

Hopefully Boly starts, because that will make a massive difference.

Podence I imagine will start on the bench, but what an option for the last 10-15 minutes against tiring legs, if the game is still close.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Jota to start and be replaced by Podence after 60 minutes. Neto on the bench.

Loved Neto through the middle against Saints, maybe option last 20

 

[The Bear]

Of Raul needs to come off we could always put Jota through the middle and have both Neto and Traore just behind/either side of him.

Podence isn't supposedly very good through the middle, so if we go with Neto behind a front two then he's a no go really.

 

[Deano]

Wolves specifically said earlier that he can play behind the striker so looks like they disagree.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Presumably what we're aiming for a very fast, fluid front three - Raul as the focal point but with Adama/Diogo/Pedro and Dan P buzzing all over the place around him and tying defenders' blood vessels in knots...
