    We struggle against the back 3. Hopefully our extra rest tells in the second half.

    Speed of passing is down to maguire receiving the ball and scanning the pitch like a dud before eventually making his obvious pass to whoever is on the left. I just want him dropped. he never releases the ball quick enough.

    Pogba is also a passenger.

    id get Mata and Martial on.

    Maguire has played some of our best passes through the lines. The two in front of him have offered nothing so far.
     
    Massive half coming up. 28 points from 45 is not something to be proud of just because other teams are also being shit. That mentality needs to get the feck out the window if we actually want to be a top team again.

    Ffs, he goes to LB to allow Telles to go play left wing.

    Surely you can see this is a tactic man??

    The problem is that he stays there, he quite literally stays on the left meaning at times we have Telles, Rashford and Matic all standing together and Pogba on his own in the centre of midfield.

    Missing Martial as a false 9. Let's us play into feet down the middle, at the moment we're trying to either cross vs 3 CBs or long balls over the top to Rashford.

    in fact we should have scored two already with this tactic (Bruno/rashford)
     
    Awful so far, only a matter of time until Wolves score.

    We are ideal opposition for them, we move the ball slowly and Maguire, Matic, Pogba and Telles are all slow enough for them to counter easily.
     
    One thing I've noticed, we don't involve our no. 9 whether it's Cavani or Martial enough.

    Our attack is basically only Rashford and Bruno.

    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.

    Pogba is always slow so no difference for me, biggest issue is having him and Matic in the same midfield.
     
    Dire half. Slow passing from the back and zero pressure on their midfield. Pogba is their press trigger and has been marked out of the game. Fred should replace him as right now he's offering little.

    I think Bruno got unlucky with that chance. The ball came a bit behind him for him to head and he had to get some sort of contact on it. El Ghazi did the same thing last night and it went through Mendy.

    Also, Telles hasn't impressed me this half. He doesn't have much chemistry with Rashford(who has been hot and cold himself) and some of his deliveries haven't been that great.

    Hopefully next half is better.

    We had to show more energy here as we did vs Leeds but have looked flat and out of ideas. Still far from being convinced Ole will ever have us challenging.

    The difference is Leeds gave us plenty of counter opportunities and spaces to run in behind. Wolves will not we need to change the tactical plan. Mata should be playing in this game
     
    Martial should be on the pitch. He doesn’t need a lot of space behind and in between defenders. Rashford should stay as he tends to grow into the game and usually scores in 2nd half. Greenwood is useless, sub him
     
    I wanted Shaw start the game but OMG Telles out for Shaw. That's the priority for OGS...OMG!
     
    Looks like VDB or Mata doing a pretty intensive warm up at half time. Can see on the wide shot on Amazon.

    Greenwood has been horrific since season. I know he's young and 2nd season syndrome n all, but it just seems like he's regressed massively.

    He’s been quite good? Lovely cross for Bruno

    Wolves are a pain in the arse. I hate to play them. We have to do better in second half. Martial can come handy, will be more explosive then Greenwood I think.
    Come on lads !

    The replies to this tweet :lol: Our fanbase is idiotic with their agendas. Apparently mindlessly pumping shite crosses into the box is good attacking play now. Not that Telles has been the issue now, far from it. But a certain portion of our fanbase seems to hate Shaw so much any player that challenges him is overrated to oblivion

    I dont think he has so much as hes being asked to defend more and isnt getting in striking positions often enough.

    He's created our best chance.
     
    Bailly did good. He recovered ground on the counter when Maguire was to slow and then read the game very well to go other way and gain the ball. If he stay fit and don't have brain farts anymore he could be very good.
