Easily one of the few players who actually played well that half.Absolutely woeful. Jones & DDG the only players that have turned up today. The rest seem like they just can’t be arsed which we’ve seen way too often this season. McTominay might as well come out in a Wolves shirt for that 2nd half. He’s passed the ball more to their players than he has to his own.donny wouldn’t be terrible for this game. But he’s getting less playing time than under ole. Very strangeWe look like bunch of AI controlled NPC's, level easy, scripted to make bad passes & lack of movement.
Jones looks already better than Maguire, f*ck me.
Ronnie's problem is we're not a super dominant side where we're constantly in their box.Neither team has really looked like scoring.
One goal will win this.
Just hope our final ball improves as there are spaces galore behind the Wolves defence.We have no control in the center of the pitch because of this ridiculous formation and the insistence on grandpa Matic and McTominay in midfield.The problem for us is when we're on the ball, the front 4 are essentially in a line facing the ball.
No one is trying to stretch the back 4 and Wolves are touch tight. So the passing options are limited.
Really poor half.
It's the perfect game for his last ditch style of defending
He probably still thinks Fergie is our manager.Strange thing is - if our attacking players had a bit of IQ - we could have been 2 goals up.
Sancho and Cavani both decided to shoot when they easily could have played other players through on goal - so dumbIt must be soul destroying for Donny to never get a chance the way we've played this season
been really good.Greenwood is our only decent attacker. How he’s not absolutely loved amongst this fan base I’ll never understand. He’s the only player we have capable of beating a man and finding a good pass under pressure. The rest of our players just crumble. Shame we can’t play 4 of him.
The ONLY thing worse was the fact we were conceding more goals, we are worse on the eye by every other metric of football. I’m not even defending Ole here, this is just woeful.
I struggle to fathom how you can setup a team defensively narrow and be absolutely WALKED through by trash sides every game, we can’t put two passes together, zero movement, no chemistry, no pressing, no energy whatsoever.
First time in 8 years apparently that an attacking side had more shots on target against us at home. We are so bad. I don’t think they are playing for Ralf, I really don’t.At this point the only reason we really have Ronaldo and Cavani is so we can get a nice rendition of Viva Ronaldo and the king of Uruguay.
So again the players get a free ride is it? Umpteen misplaced passes, jogging instead of pressing. No creative passing and yet Ralf is to blame.Apparently that’s the most attempts wolves have had in one half in their Prem history
. Please tell me I heard that stat incorrectlyJones in midfield would be better than this lot we have. The Burnley game seems to have turned McTominay's head.The fact that Jones has been one of our best players tonight is pretty damningRalf needs to grow some balls and make some subs now.Jones our best player of the half, Greenwood after him.
Counterpressing. Is the idea of bringing it into United already dead then? What's the point in bringing in the Gegenpress master if we aren't even trying to press? I get it takes time to implement properly, but we aren't even attempting to do it.
Dreadful stuff all round.
P.S. I'm just laughing remembering all of the people who said Neves wouldn't be good enough for United. He would walk into this team.Bruno, Radford needs to come in for Ronaldo and Sancho. Both have been worst of the lot.Following United is a bit of a chore these days. I feel like I’ve watched the same game twice a week for the past 3 years
Haha! That’s very true. Probably best to put us out of our misery there, cheers Mike.I think our biggest problem is the fact we are playing 4-2-2-2 but Sancho and Greenwood are keeping very wide. It’s ended up like 4-2-4 and we have no midfield to play into. Ironically been a problem all season. Greenwood and Sancho need to stop being so high up the pitch.so so far that’s what, 1 good 30 minutes under rangnick
He has been unlucky with injuries
We have a bottom-half standard midfield usually but today it’s because this said midfield is only two members strong and are completely outnumbered v Wolves’.Can't pass and can't keep the ball and all paid over 100k a week. Shocking.
He would have scored 2?Jones MOTM so farAwful. But we should have two goals if Sancho and Cavani made simple passes.
I can tell you who was best (Jonah) and then for worst you can pick a name from the rest out of a hat.Impossible question: who was our worst performer that half?
That was bad.Phil Jones has probably been our best player and I would actually need to Google the last time he played for us.Wolves with more attempts than any other first half game in their PL history. probably my low expectations of himBruno scores if he comes on.- Status
