Nah, Wolves look the more threatening team, but they couldn’t finish their dinner. 0-0 all day long, this
What does this even mean? Are the defenders and midfielders purposefully giving the ball away over and over and over, do you think?
Do people post here without seeing or hearing the game?
btw, why would it be 'alright' if it was still terrible?I know we were 4-0 down to Liv, but this surely has to go down as one of the most incompetent displays of passing football from us. Its tragic that we seem to getting worse each game, I just don't know where to look for positives.Rashford and Bruno were both standing there toward the end of HT stretching and warming up. From a lack of control in midfield to a bunch of unsuccessful lofted over the top passes
... and two which lead to high quality goal chances.Wolves playing really well and controlled most of the first half bar 10 minutes United pressed them back..
we look unbalanced, too many attackers and a lack of a midfield.
if things look the same after 10 minutes in the 2nd half we need to withdraw a forward and bring in Bruno or VDB.
Great half by Phil Jones btw. really solid and assured, hope that doesn’t put the kiss of death on him.Varane must really wonder how it came to this. Having Modric and Kroos in front of you one minute and then an over the hill Matic and Scottish McT the nextWhy the feck do we play a 2-man midfield? Passing accuracy is dreadful
How about you spout your own nonsense. Where is the lie here ? Take off that spec from your eyes.There’s no doubt we can grind out another 1-0. But it’s already yet another abysmal performance. I’m hoping we can find some confidence by keeping winning, but at the moment I’m thinking we’re going to hit some really bad results and be in a complete mess again just 6 weeks after binning Ole.I only care about greenwood and Varane in this team. The others have some sort of mental block.
Ronaldo and mctominay are both horrible. Ronaldo starts the next game and media need to question Rangnick. They did the same for Ole when it was clear his goals couldn’t mask his horrible performances. They are even worse than Bruno’s.In a way we’re the worst team in the league. Outplayed by everyone.
Rangnick’s team selection hasn’t been good in every single game for me. Get Cavani out and Bruno/Donny in for a start. We need to get control of the match and this formation is just dogshit for that purpose.
Nah, normally it's because Wolves park the bus and kill the game.
This game they've just been by far the better side, they have total control of the game.Excellent first half. Really held our ground against mighty Wolves. We should keep focusing on counter attack to try to get a goal. It’s ok that we don’t have any clear system and no rhythm; in games like this we need to try our best for the shirt. Better to take off one of the strikers and bring on an additional midfielder to try to hold on to the 0-0.
I’ll go cry now…I think we'll sneak this 1-0 because they just can't score.Impossible question: who was our worst performer that half?
McTominay very, very close to it anyway. Absolutely shocking performance from him so far.
Ronaldo shouldn't be dropping deep..Jones may be meme material but he’s always been a good defender - just never fit. He’s been great so far.It's the lack of basics that really does me. After 20mins ragnick should see this formation isn't working. Wheres the change in formation.No proper midfield and defense and attack sucks (so far our defense is holding). Bruno needs to be there.How Cavani didn't pass do Greenwood....
I would take off Cavani or Ronaldo and bring in Bruno. Take Sancho off as well for Rashford.The gulf in quality between the top 3 and the rest is disturbingly huge
they have to be wide to open up the passes into the strikers feet.
the issue is our strikers can’t control the ball and our fullbacks barely overlap when the wide men do come inside. it’s just not workingLargely rubbish. No quality bar a few moments.Adds this is muck but if your calling Ralf a fraud after 3 wins and 1 draw your mental.
Maybe he is no use but hell even Pep didn't light the Prem up in his season.
Our team is very flawed. It spent 3 seasons under Ole learning to play football without being good with the ball.
Might take a bit to unlearn that.Utd match stats are appalling …lucky to be level
WTF is going on ?Said it at the time, so not captain hindsighting...and not really shitting on Sancho either...but we could have had St. Maximin and Raphinha for the price we paid for him
We'd be 100x better off, having a real chaos creator in ASM who would break up the monotony in tight games like this, and a legit high technique left footer in Raphinha.
I actually think Raphinha alone is better, but that's probably controversial.
In all seriousness, if Jones had not been destroyed by injuries, his level was a fair bit higher than Maguires.We are playing like an unfamiliar / unsuitable formation in FMWolves better and more comfortable on the ball, whats wrong with this group of United players, surely the basic is to be able pass the ball and not be outplayed at home to Wolves.
Nah I’m supporting the plucky underdogs in this one.0 corners to their 6
Well we never score from them so that’s a positiveWhat do we even do in training?Not sure if i should turn in for second half.We are rubbish unfortunatelyWe give the ball away too cheaply and Wolves are only too happy to counter. Lucky we're not behind.
We can clearly still win it but we give away far too many chances.The one positive is I think if we can transition properly in the 2nd half, think Wolves are leaving gaps that can be exploited.Who knew playing 3 players over the age of 33 in a 4-4-2 a few days after their last game when they all bizarrely stayed on for the full 90 against a side who haven’t played for 15 days would result in a hapless performance lacking any energy? I get it though - we have like no options on the bench. Back 4 aside It’s been fecking shambolic outside of Greenwood.- Status
