Manchester United 0:0 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Shark · Feb 1, 2020

That was as LVG a half as it gets. Not good enough at all.

Drifter · Feb 1, 2020

Wolves must look forward to playing us.

Berbasbullet · Feb 1, 2020

I don’t get added time, so Traore was down for about 2 minutes from 43 onwards and they don’t then consider adding that on when adding the time on?

Dante · Feb 1, 2020

I've done that before :lol:

Thought I had my bluetooth earphones connected and turned the volume all the way up on my phone because I couldn't hear anything.

SER19 · Feb 1, 2020

Fortune will favour the brave here. Utter stalemate

De Gea
Decent punch from Doherty’s header. 6
Wan-Bissaka
You can see why Palace coaches stopped him from becoming a winger. 5
Maguire
Near-faultless in defence. 7
Lindelof
Confident half. 6
Shaw
Could do more on the overlap against Doherty. 6
Pereira
Struggled in an unfavoured role. 4
Fred
Another encouraging half. 7
Fernandes
Had a decent chance. Passing better than his set-pieces. 6
James
Looked like a little boy lost. 3
Mata
Not dictated the game. 5
Martial
Not troubled the Wolves centre halves enough. 5

Sassy Colin · Feb 1, 2020

Before the miserable sods start with their negativity, imagine that half with Lingard instead of Bruno.

Pscholes18 · Feb 1, 2020

Bruno thinking to himself wtf did I get myself into?

hobbers · Feb 1, 2020

Ole has to take off Pereira or James at HT and change the shape.

Not that I expect him to, absolutely incompetent.

Irwin99 · Feb 1, 2020

Urgh. These two teams just cancel each other out almost every time. It could be nicked by the odd goal from a mistake like the last game.

I don't understand what's wrong with AWB. Sometimes he looks fairly competent with the ball at his feet, but it's as if he loses his brain whenever he touches the ball.

Like a more leggy Valencia. Terrified of running with the ball, terrified of passing forward, terrified of crossing.

Yeah he should be right up the pitch providing the width, yet all he does is get near the half-way line & play a hospital pass to Martial with defenders on his back. He's been shocking going forward this half. Wolves have 5 at the back, him playing so deep is killing us.

Caliban · Feb 1, 2020

Would suck to play against an empty Stratford end after '68

Paxi · Feb 1, 2020

Were fecking pathetic. No style of play. No cohesion. Just nothing.

morbidsaint · Feb 1, 2020

Last third.. useless again. As if one new player can fix those problems. He is not Messi.

Yeah - unfortunately the highlight of this poor game so far

Indeed. We’ve been very poor but there’s enough negative posts here so thought I’d point out something positive

Hopefully Greenwood comes on soon.

We are dominating them and Mata has been our best player so far

We have barely made their GK do anything. They have been more dangerous.

We have the ball more because they want to defend.

buckooo1978 · Feb 1, 2020

how are we playing?

Heinzesight · Feb 1, 2020

Why no replay of the James ‘dive’ or that potential handball at the end of the half?

Fernandes needs to hit that low and hard. At least we have an actual threat arriving late, which we all hoped Pogba could be.

Pogba is very creative though. Nobody on the pitch today has shown anywhere near the creativity than he would.

No, Martial needs a ST next to him. He's fantastic in a striking partnership. He's effectively having to do it all himself. James and AWB have killed so many attack with Martial in the box.

He's not fantastic in anything. He has glimpses of quality, but is often a complete let down. He's been cack for several matches now and deserves bencing. As does James which he will probably get when Rashford comes back.

I'd like to know what Traore can do on a bench press. 350?

Pounds? Not super impressive.

Mibabalou · Feb 1, 2020

Let's just take a look at our front 5

Martial
James - Bruno - Mata
Pereira - Fred

Martial not a 9
James not a Lw
Mata not a RW
Pereira + Fred is not a functioning 2 man CM

People act surprise we look like shite and Bruno is already looking lost since no one else knows what to do.

AshRK · Feb 1, 2020

Ole again shows his game management sucks. If you want to play James, play him as a proper winger and not as an inverted forward.

He has to realize he will get nothing by playing periera and lingard. Two useless players who are good at nothing.

SCJY · Feb 1, 2020

AWB is an athlete, but he bores the hell out of me. There is no spark to his play.

izec · Feb 1, 2020

lack of quality in some positions plus poorly coached and you have this

Hold back, punt the ball to Jimenez to hold up and bring others into play on the counter.

Exactly. Not much to enjoy.

No Love · Feb 1, 2020

A little fed up watching James and Martial fecking about, week in, week out. Must be nice knowing that no matter how bad you play, your place is secure for the following fixture.

He is a little boy lost, get Greenwood on for the 2nd half.

After all the uproar he made about losing his beloved #9 shirt, he certainly doesn't play like a Manchester United #9.

Really disappointed in him the past few weeks.

Just the last few weeks? He's just showing what plenty of us said for ages that he's not a forward.

Even in top form on the left under Jose you had people saying his career is being ruined by not playing up front. It's simple he lacks the basics to play as a proper no 9.

InspiRED · Feb 1, 2020

Not sure u can take the tension of this one. Atmospheres absolutely electric...

Worst half of football this season. Absolute shite.

This the first game you've seen this season?

Pyro19 · Feb 1, 2020

I know the blunt attack is frustrating but we should keep things in perspective and remember this is Wolves we are playing against. Liverpool and City were similarly frustrated by the same wolves team.

SmashedHombre · Feb 1, 2020

Man, staying awake til 6:30 am to watch this game was hard enough without United trying to bore me to sleep.

charlenefan · Feb 1, 2020

always_hoping · Feb 1, 2020

As ever Wolves a tough nut to crack. As I said before the game I'll be more than happy with another 1-0 United win.

Ekeke · Feb 1, 2020

3 tackles from Andreas that half. Also 3 fouls. Good and bad

Muscle boy down

How is that not a foul by Maguire on Traore? Or is pulling someone's arm legit these days? If that happened to me at 6 a side I would kick off.

The Irish Connection · Feb 1, 2020

Maguire and Shaw our best players in that half. We need more runs in behind.

Irrational. · Feb 1, 2020

James off Greenwood on at HT.

I'd also bring Dalot on for Pereira later on to create some more width.

Where do you think James' best position is?
