Isn't it possible to make Lucas a wing back and skip Traore.

They are pretty alike. Run with the ball until they get fouled or lose it. Traore is stronger but Lucas has better end product. And pretty good crossing.
 
Lol.

As if anyone is that careless when taking any sort of pill that isn't in some club with thumping techno.

A quick google shows the banned substance is primarily used to treat high blood pressure. A) why has a 30 something year old got high blood pressure and B) why would the partner of that person think he should take their tablets if he fees a bit iffy?

A further glance at the usage shows they're a diuretic, IE they make you piss out a lot of water. This is often used by people to get their weight down. Or to try to speed up flushing other things out of their system.
Maybe the latte is why he got a 12 month ban as it seems there's no performance enhancement from this drug.

Lucas doesn't work that far out wide. He is at his best with a lot of space to run in, which is why the interior role works well for him. Out on the flank you just need to keep him on the touchline and he is much easier to neutralize.

Yeah let’s go over his highlights and laugh at a couple of funny moments instead of recognising the simple fact that as soon as he came on, Wolves looked far more dangerous. Beforehand United had a foothold, Adama had them back camped in their own half and backing off him.

God forbid a player take risks and sometimes looks silly. We wouldn’t want our players to dare to try things which might unsettle an opposition defence, would we? Christ, some of the fans on here deserve players who are invisible for 90 minutes like Bergwijn.
Wolves completly and utterly dominated Utd in the first half without Traore.

He's a chaos player, he doesn't play any mins if the Wolves want to control the game. Only gets mins as a roll-of-the-dice option, it is a total coin toss as to whether his presence makes a difference or not.
 
Really don't understand the deal with Rodon, every time he's played he's looked fairly solid to me and shown potential, can't remember too many mistakes, no more than the other CB's at least. Could criticize his distribution perhaps?
He must just not be up to it technically on the training pitch or something.
I can only assume he’s not cutting it in training. Doesn’t even seem to be getting opportunities in fringe games.

Dominated and created very little. They were mainly dominating because United gave Neves too much space to dictate, which is when Wolves can get in their groove. Then in the second half United were taking charge of the match before Adama came on, and immediately you could see the United defenders dropping back and looking scared whenever he got on the ball.

Even if that's all he can be for us (Which I don't believe with Conte's coaching being an element) then I'm very happy, we need more impactful players from the bench.

There was a good interview on it last week, seemed honest to me. He tried to take a headache tablet and messed up, CAS looked to believe him.
