Good showing on Fergie’s return.
Useless losers.
After today, I cant argue with you about that.Did everything they could to win, just couldn't break them down.. unlucky but no need to shit the bed. We absolutely pinned them in there.
This'll be a common occurrence this season. We're a long way off elite sadly."Mourinho has stabled the ship. Not to worry lads"Another post-European flop. Their defence played really well and I can't recall us even testing their keeper much in the last 30 minutes.good thing the bouncer is quite shite at football.What a load of shit.
I think we played, for the most part, really well, but Lukaku didn't really get the service.Very mixed performance from the team today. Shaw, Pogba and Fellaini were all great, but we were just poor in the final third, with basically no attacking threat from Lukaku. Then Mata and Martial added nothing when they came on.
We really need to be able to create some form of threat from the right hand side.We'll be lucky to get top 4 this season.
Dreadful 2nd half performance.I can't understand how we look so clueless in attack...
That said, Lingard, Martial and Mata I don't think are good enough, Sanchez has not worked out and Lukaku was an insult to the Jersey today.So much for the new United with quick passing and runs. Long balls to Fellaini is Mourinho's only idea of attacking tactics, and it's getting a bit ridiculous. No cohesion whatsoever and the front three were awful, which wasn't a surprise really.Every time Wolves get forward they manage to get a shot off at De Gea.
We've spent the last 20 minutes camped in their half, and their goalkeeper hasn't had a thing to do.Good jinx attempt!
Hope it works
The sad thing is that I really didn't believe we could score. Once upon a time, I would be sure we would...Points piling up.This is a really bad result at home as we really needed 3 points after a bad start to the season. We simply do not have enough actual quality on the entire front line. We have to many mediocre players that perform rarely like mediocre players tent to do and it will cost us big time this season if they do not improve rapidly both as individuals and as a team.Long balls not working enough, at least lvg used them for last 15 mins. Mourinho is using it for 90 mins now.Thought we were good going forward and we waited far longer before pressing the hoofball button than we did last season. But we're all over the place at the back.Our attackers were below par, our right wing was again non-existent and Lukaku was just not good enough. Goood-ish performance from Martial, did a lot better than Sanchez. Pereira looked good as well. Hopefully we can improve on our attacking play and reduce mistakes from the back. Otherwise we tried but lacked the necessary quality to ensure the three points.
Lindelof needs to improve. And another good performance from Luke Shaw.
On the down side, it seems that time has caught up with old Tony Valencia (as well as Young)32 games left...
It was a series of mistakes, Shaw included. But he was put in that position because of Pogba.We stopped playing football and resorted to hoofball this is not Manchester United it is Stoke City
Fair, we weren't terrible and did go for it. Some under-performance and lack of fluidity in attack (not to mention bad touches).
Lukaku is hard to blame today, but Sanchez, Jessie, Tony, Mata didn't make great decisions at all.
Hard to fault the midfield and defence; Fred, Pogba, DDG, Shaw all immense, Fellaini good too.
Wolves aren't shite by any means but we needed these points, so pretty disappointing.
The guy needs to fecking move for a start !
Confident we wont win anything major with him uptop.
He can work and watch other players all he likes but you need natural talent and he has nowt.
You are looking for essays in the match day thread? Also, I just stated an observation. What on earth do you think this thread is for if not stating your opinions on the game
And at least 8 of those are against the teams who are much better than usWe do not have enough clever footballers with guile in our side. Hence when the going gets tough we resort to long ball stuff.
The front three weren't at the races today simple as that and we can't hope to succeed if we have those three off the pace playing a very talented Wolves side
I haven't seen Sanchez or Lingard at the races in 2018.
Did anyone think we were Prem challengers? I didn't. I just hope we are top fourAnd at least 8 of those are against the teams who are much better than us
Pogba the only plus today.Everyone else average or just god awful.
Im a little worried we might not even make top 4We had no width for much of the game because Shaw and Valencia were playing far deeper than Alexander Arnold and Robertson did against Southampton. But there is more to worry about with Wolves who I repeat are a very good side.
Fancy we might get fourth. Chelsea third. Liverpool and City battling for title. Sad to say it's the best we can expect IMOWe need a Hazard like player fiercely. Someone who can run at teams with the ball glued to his foot. It opens teams up.Liverpool,City and Chelsea are all performing better than us currently,and personally I think their form will continue.
We're lumped into a top 4 battle with Spurs,Leicester and Arsenal.
Wolves are a very good side. Drew with City and will not fear anyone
Dont think Hazard would make a great deal of difference in this Jose United team.
Well we thought we had one in Sanchez. But so far he hasn't shown it. That's not Mourinho's fault. The Chilean is just not at it.- Status
