Re: Happy St Georges Day

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
2 monumental clangers and questions over his movement for the Wolves goal aint great in 5 games. Keeps the shirt for me, for now, but another one thrown in and its back to Trafford.
Sad, really, as I though he would be nailed on for improving his value the way he started.
