Wan Bissaka reminds me of Valencia in his later years. Both lack confidence to take on players and seem to always go for the cut back. That means we are forced to attack through the other channel with Telles and Rashford. We lack flexibility to switch our attacks across both flanks

You know who Nuno learned off at Porto right?
They are boring too.
I disagree on James. His speed does nothing here when wolves are already defending deep.
Get Martial on for Rashford.Greenwood needs to come off, he's had a poor half. Have to bring Martial on as we need more players that are able to go past a man. Got nothing on that right side going forward. AWB is a waste of space.Our midfielders have been very poor today ( Matic and Pogba). No energy at all, we literally have a situation in which Wolves can attack us directly every time we lose the ball. As the game went on, this led to our attacks becoming more cautious.
Bet he comes onAlways going to be a tight affair due to both teams strengths are on the counter. Neither teams wants to take the risk and initiative.The biggest problem is the midfield.Bruno, Baily and DDG are best so farCan we get Fred and McT on?
Portuguese Tony Pulis.AWB has no ambition to go beyond Greenwood. It’s too often he plays like this. I miss those days of Neville bombing full speed past Beckham. We’ll be demanding a upgrade next season. Wes Brown was better going forward.
Hes also been by far the best of our front 3,even though he hasn't offered much
It's Pogba who's been slow and uninspiring for me. He just seems so nonchalant or disinterested when in possession of the ball. Like he doesn't care or something. Bruno, by comparison, is all over the park, busting a gut to get involved. The contrast between them is frightening.
Rashford has played well for me.
They have had a lot of the ball for a team that many here said would just sit back.
Matic and Pogba far too slow and ponderous. Another example of why we need a top level DM.Not the game for Pogba, would like to see Donny come on.
And who actually runs in behind then? That’s the only time we actually look dangerous.Rashford's touch is letting him down tonight but he's the only one trying to make something happen. He'll get a goal second half.Championship winning teams know how to win these games.
We need to move the ball quicker.
Why would you bring James on against a team that sits in like this? He would be the worst possible sub
Good thing you're not the manager.
Lee Dixon ‘Man United have been appalling’
He’s not wrong, Wolves have just been toothless in their attack.I’d like to see us bring Donny on for Pogba, would add a bit more energy and speed to our midfield. There was a passage of play there where Maguire and our forwards were passing it back and forth as our midfield is seemingly nonexistent.0-0 or 0-1.
Very disappointed that we have failed to prepare for a very obvious set of tactics from Wolves.
They do well against all of the big sides, tbf.Appalling first half.
It reminds me of last season when every time we had a chance to break the top 4 and messed it up.This is going to be a Wolves attritional 0-1 after 80 mins, isn’t it?
Oh god I didnt even think of that! Ole and his phobia of making subs prior to the 75th minute.
I’m glad someone else can see this.
Matic is dropping car too deep at times and staying out on the left a bit too much too, making it far too congested and leaving Pogba on his own in the middle.Why are the pundits so fond of criticising Martial but so reluctant to criticize Rashford?21 is not coming playing like this week in week outCan Matic move any slower?
Wan Bissaka is a waste of oxygen against s low block.
If he had his best players we'd be toastPlaying with pogba is like playing with 10 men. He's so slow to move that yes not caught up with everyone else yet.Pogba stands about trying to look cool trying to get nice pics for his fecking Instagram or something.
Rashford could be 5 yards clean through and he would stop and turn backwards these days.
Maguire looks liable to give away a FK everytime he goes near an opposition player (moss doesn't help with this mind, wolves player can trip on his own shoelace and he'd give a foul)
I don't hate Pogba and I'm sure plenty of others dont, he's been absolutely rubbish. You need to go back and rewatch he's movement as its been non and to use the out of position excuse he's ridiculous as at times he wasn't even trying which is the minimum any player should be doing regardless of where he plays.
If we had an attacking threat at right back games like this would be much more balanced. Greenwood cross aside nothing has come from the right.What ?
Who was your best player then?
Indeed he has- Status
