I just hope Ole doesn't wait too long to make subs if this doesn't change quickly. Martial and maybe Dan James should come on.

Same. Absolute feckers to play against.
Nuno is a good coach.This is Wolves, should have known that, utd slow play move ball quicker, set pieces for wolves or breaks, move ball quicker in 2nd half , can see few changes by 60mins. Got to be carefull on breakaways and set pieces . Cm change for me .
I’m not saying he’s the issue, but wolves are camped in their half he doesn’t need to be standing in telles position for him to advance up the pitch. Get yourself in a good position to receive the ball higher up.
it’s counter productive to make a back 3 when they haven’t even got anybody in our half!Seriously hate Wolves. Same old shite whenever we play them. Extremely defensive. That being said, we do need to play at a quicker tempo and move around a stubborn Wolves defence.cnuty Wolves and Nuno have our number.
Rashford is far from our best player in this game , slowing the ball down with his constant standing position while holding the ball, miscontrolling the ball and losing possession .
Not me...
Which has nothing to do with him fluffing a sitter.
Greenwood created our only goal scoring chance. Rashford or Cavani need to be substituted this time, not Mason
Burnley beat them rather comfortably IMO only for Nuno to complain about the refI never want to see Pogba and Matic start together. When they both start as a duo you're odds on to get static, ponderous, still play. Pogba only comes alive if he's given the ball and Matic just offers nothing.
Tempo needs to increase, especially as we get to the edge of their box. Too much overplaying it when we get there. Worth having a shot or two from the edge of the box. If we're going to persist with Telles crossing in from the right, then we should commit more players into the box to try to get on the end of those crosses.
Decision making needs to be better from some of our players. Rashford has done several things really well, like he'll go past a player or two to get into the box, but then he'll overplay it or make the wrong decision. One of those days where he should have taken more shots in those positions.Usual tough encounter against Nuno Wolves side, those that thought it would be a routine win may have to reset that view now.
Against such a well organised side you need to be clinical and the one shot on target wasn't taken by Bruno. I'll be more than delighted with a scrappy 1-0 for United.Not the greatest of halves. But as soon as it went up that Wolves would be 5 at the back I knew it would kind of end up like this. Cavani has pretty much three CBs against him and their wing backs aren't committing to going forward at all meaning there is no space at all in behind for Rashford or Greenwood.
Yes our play has been slow and there needs to be more movement, less touches on the ball.Pogba has been fecking useless.
Bruno's been poor but he's trying to force something to happen.
Pogba should be one of our main creative outlets and he's been so so slowAh that Fernandes chance gets more annoying the more you see it.
If we increase the tempo and actually move the ball quicker and sharper we will do this. But it’s so ponderous right now.I’d get Martial on for Rashford then we can actually run at them on both wings. Telles has been playing well so can provide the overlap option. Also get Donny on for Pogba to speed things up.
Nuno has Ole’s number. We look clueless again versus Wolves like for the past 2 seasons. Big second half needed.
They need to wake up, wouldn't make any changes just yet... they just need to wake up
Buss parking of the highest order.
Need a change in CM. Matic and Pogba offer nothing hereGlorious chance for Bruno but not much else of note. Quite a few players going to ground very easily with not a lot in it. Some of the play acting Neymar would be proud of.Wolves haven't been anything special at all, we've been poor. Slow, ponderous and uninventive.
We need the game to be slower, you’re rightAdama Traore is so annoying to play against. Would love to sign him tbh. I know his end product has been shit this year... but thats largely because of what happened to Jimenez and them selling Jota. He's a cheat code in terms of what he can do, and surround him with better players and in better positions and the guy would create so many chances.
Lee Dixon ‘Man United have been appalling’Dixon slating us and is spot onWe have no idea against teams who sit deep and look to counter. Shit at open play. Nothing new so far.
I got there about 4 months ago. Pointless CM duo. One can't run, other doesn't want to run.100% dropping points tonight
Yes, well, they still look a bit knackered. What is the solution?
Think it's intentional. He drops back and our fullbacks push forward, turning it into a kind of 343. Makes more sense if the third midfielder drops further back, but Bruno's pretty advanced, so it ends up with just Pogba in the middle at times.Nuno the spirit of Santa ruining our festive feast.Trying to be positive...
They're not going to get better.
At some point, Moss will give us a decision.
If Ole kicks them at HT and we speed up, we'll win.
Matic has to step up.. he's covering Maguire's lack of speed for Traore. If we subbed Maguire for someone who could run, we could push Matic up.
2-0Agree with Neville there. Not sure why Matic has been taking up the positions you'd want to see Pogba in.That should be Pogba's last 45 minutes in a United shirt but sadly I think it won't be.
Get Fred and Mcsauce on rather than a third centre back in Matic and a Pogba that is doing an impression of a hatstand.Amazon making Wolves out to be peak Barca. They’ve sat in and had one or two breaksTelles needs to make more movement and run on the open space because there was so much space on our left since their right wing back was focussing on Rashford.We're missing Fred. He's the only one in midfield who plays with any urgency and connects with the attacking players fast enough.- Status
