Going to be harder than the chelski game but we've still got the impetus so I can't see us losing.

The lads should be still buoyant after dismantling Chelsea. Will be a tough game but I fancy us to get a win.

Wolves are a good side so this is a test but we should be confident and hopefully it’s lessons learnt from last season as well. I think Ole needs to tweak the midfield whether through tactics or personnel as we were wide open first half against Chelsea.

Very happy that he's not got Matic as a sure starter. Seems strange not to see 3 out and out central midfielders playing. Maybe would of preferred Fred instead of Lingard giving Pogba more of a licence to roam. Could be over run if we don't play as a unit. Maybe Ole is chancing his luck a little. This is a very good Wolves side and we're away from home. If it was crystal palace at home I wouldn't have a problem with it. Good to see positivity though.

Hate those cunts. Should have been a win but a draw isn’t a bad result, point gained from last season and relatively good performance. We look like a team, everyone knows their roles and they all work for each other, the first half performance was very good we were efficient and effective. Second half Wolves came back into it and had a decent 15 minutes getting their worldy goal, thought we gave a good response after, should have scored the penalty and we would have won. Only thing was we were a bit limp in the final ten minutes with Ole leaving it late with the subs. I’m not sure about Pogba, he has done ok in a two with McT so far but we need his creativity higher up imo so hopefully Fred can get up to speed soon and push him on. Issues to work on but we’re improving and showing good signs

Funny old game. Nobody played really bad but nobody played really well. First half was ours by a country mile. The difference with our team now is speed. A lot of teams are going to drop back 10 yards to try and combat it. Which is what wolves did in the first half and it made it comfortable for us. Second half they can flying out of the blocks especially with Traore and we found it difficult to get into the game. Lack of creativity was there for all to see and that's not going to change until we actually sign another creative player. Absolutely love watching AWB play. Such a quiet player but no one gets past him. Hope James stops his falling over lark, other than that thought he had a good game. Don't like Lindelof at all playing RCB. Looked a bundle of nerves. Should keep Martial as the number 9 that way the lazy feck doesn't have to run as much. Wish Rashford would stop with those free kicks of his. How many has he actually scored? Not a bad set up from Ole but needs to do a lot better with his subs. Left it well to late for the subs to make an impact. All in all not a bad performance. Should of had the 3 points with the penalty but pogba deciding he needed a new house with his bonus for scoring instead of leaving it to rashford.

Daniel James in the match against Wolves showed that he is better than Andreas Pereira and should play at the start XI

Different type of player than Pereira but I agree. James is far from the finished article but he's impressed in the games he's played in. His speed gives other teams something to think about which could leave other players with a bit more space. I see you've mastered posting videos quicker than me but there's no need to post the same video on 2 different threads.

Think he should be bled into matches over time, he's got a lot to learn and that's ok.
The entire team has something to learn from last night, not least Ole. James, for example, should have been pulled at the 60 minute mark, so should Lingard who is having a nightmare dip in form atm. Because we are soooo light in midfield creativity we needed someone like Gomes to come on and be the tricky little fucker he can be, sorry but Mata was useless.
No point being too hard pointing out the obvious from that second half performance, it was pretty plain, Ole said they were hurting after the game, so onward we go.

James did alright, pretty much any other option on the right would be cutting in and drifting inside so Ole made the right call, he stretched the pitch and created space for our strikers. Needs to work on his final ball/finishing but he has the right ideas and his pace helps him to open up space for himself, defensively he works hard and it’s not all about his speed as he’s very neat and tidy with the ball. Helped AWB too who ventured further forward and had a partner to play/make runs off. Finding gems like him are the best signings
