# Wolves: Fans fume over starting line-up

**Many Wolves fans have been left fuming as the confirmed line-up for their game away at Southampton in the Premier League emerged.**

As per the club’s official [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Wolves/status/1442096622473814018) channel, Bruno Lage has stuck to a five-at-the-back formation, as Hwang Hee-chan gets a chance to impress from the start.

However, a lot of big names have been dropped to the bench, and some fans seem especially angry that [stalwarts](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Archive/England-Wolverhampton-Wanderers) Adama Traore, Ruben Neves and Willy Boly have all been left out of the team to face the Saints at St Mary’s this afternoon.

Nonetheless, Lage has clearly picked the line-up which he thinks will give them the best possible chance of getting all three points, and it will no doubt be interesting to see how the match plays out.

**“Dropping Neves, Traore and Trincao? Seems insane. Still not bringing Boly into the starting side, probably an even worse decision. Should go to bed and save myself the inevitable pain”**
