Fergie has always been willing to drop into midfield and link up play. He was nowhere near the penalty area when Fernandino tried to slice his achilles all that time ago.
On the other hand, if you've got a natural goal-scorer, big, strong, good at leading the line, why not adapt the play to get the best out of one your (potentially) best assets?

We lost 3-2, rather unluckily I thought at the time.View attachment 189058
Stripes On The Brain…..A Double-Header – Wolves Heroes
Memories Of Tackling The Other Albion Look quickly at the newspaper page on the right and it appears to be previewing a Wolves visit to The Hawthorns, especially as it comes from the Argus. But it relates instead to a trip to Brighton in the third round of the League Cup in the autumn of 1969...www.wolvesheroes.com
Not surprising - more likely Maccabi Tel Aviv, wasn't he?
I think we kind of did last season, but its really difficult to play like that these days. You have to complicate things a little for your no 9 to get any sort of space or he'll just disappear as teams are very good at defensive transitions these days. It just becomes too crowded and too fine margins to look for the perfect cross or perfect cutback pass. You kind of wanted players to be moving, not to be stationary in the box.

10 changes for Wolves then. Their fans on twitter are not impressed, and think they're going to get beasted.

I have a really poor memory for individual matches (other than the obvious ones), but I remember this as if it was yesterday

This is the big reason why Welbeck is a 6-7 a season man. His link up play is superb - really good. The movement and dropping deep to allow the wingers to overload is top level. But his movement in the box is just so basic. He never seems to deviate his runs, he just sort of stands there. From what I’ve seen of Ferguson so far, his movement in the box is much more threatening, but he can’t do what Welbeck does in holding the ball up and bringing other players forward

Strong line up - all will play Premier league matches this season - shows the strength in depth we now have and shows we are taking this competition seriously by not playing a load of PL2 players - big

Did we? Really? I thought it was more switching from wing to wing - or back to the CB or GK, with the aim of eventually walking the ball into the net.

I remember one chance where the ball was lifted over the keeper and bounced over the bar. Was it John Richards?I have a really poor memory for individual matches (other than the obvious ones), but I remember this as if it was yesterday

How on earth are we going to get away with playing Igor AND Julio? Don't the officials count the players any more?

He’s a bit of a Jonah though isn’t he? His win/loss record for us was posted a while back and it wasn’t pretty reading - even in games where he played well. And he has Gilmour levels of finishing.
Bloody quick though, deceptively so.

No excuses tonight with that line up.
