    Sancho anonymous again. Up there with the worst attacking players I’ve ever seen for United, he has absolutely no positive attributes.
     
    I don't think decision making is teachable. You either have it or you don't. He is playing a decent game right until where it matters between scoring and not scoring. But still credit where credit is due, Sancho and Martial are playing awful.
     
    Deserved lead. But with Casemiro booked and our normal second half drop off, can't be too comfortable. Wolves aren't really all that. If we keep their set pieces at a minimum, should come away with the win.

    Antony is so frustrating to watch. Shocking decisions again. I hope EtH gives him an earful at halftime, you can't waste those chances in the PL. At least he passed for the goal. On the other hand, Bruno and Eriksen are a joy to watch. If only Eriksen had legs.

    This game should really play into our hands now, but we've fecked up from better situations. So I remain cautiously optimistic.
     
    The shit Antony gets:lol: By far our most threatening player. Could have done better in front of goal sure but anything dangerous comes from his side

    It's amazing the way people get on Antony's back though. A couple of poor (one calamitous) decisions, and should've done better with his header, but at least he's in the game. Sancho and Martial (apart from the goal) are doing feck all.

    Not taking credit but he got a bit lucky, the defender actually caught up to him but lost his balance during the tussle. Still, he failed to take advantage of it, disappoiting....

    I mean, you are taking credit. Whatever about the end product the break was fantastic and it's unfair to pretend otherwise
     
    Antony's looked fantastic tonight. The missed header and that late pass to Martial could have been better, but he's getting into great positions and linking up so well with the team otherwise. Really think there's a gem of a player in there, he hardly 22. The decision making will come.

    Same can't be said for Sancho, who looks timid and isn't getting even basic passes right. Can't wait for Garnacho to come on.

    Luke Shaw is an absolute beast.
     
    Minus a little spell by wolves in pretty good control here. Finishing is just pathetic again. Last 3 games we should've had about 10 goals total instead of just this 1. Garnacho and Antony attacking wide should cause huge problems for wolves. Not all that. Impressed with Eriksen again.
     
    Watching the National League playoff final and I genuinely think the Chesterfield keeper has better distribution than our #1.

    Antony is going to be a brilliant player for us in the future. But reading some of the comments on this forum you’d think we had Dan James playing.
     
    Antony looking our most dangerous so far just made the wrong decision a couple of times, can see him getting a goal 2nd half
     
    Antony haters are having a mare in this thread. :lol: He had a great half, just stop.

    At what, crap shots and late passes? He's been average but the long shots needs to die a quick death

    He made the pass to Antony for the assist.

    He also made an important tackle earlier.

    He has been one of the more livelier player. Agree not all his passes are great.
     
    This boy Sancho is laughable. I’m baffled what all the buzz was before we brought him in. He’s rubbish. Poor first touch. Plays like the ball is a hot potato and has to get rid of it. Can’t/won’t try to beat another player. Gives the ball away all the time. Won’t chase back. Won’t shoot. Bottles every challange as he’s afraid to get hurt.
    what was all the hype about?

    I think most people gave up on Sancho at this point. But there's still hope for Antony which makes it much worse when he makes those stupid decisions.

    Correct, hundreds of mid table attackers would be top class attackers if they had better decision making but it’s not really something that is taught after a certain point. You either have the composure to make the right decision instantly or don’t.
     
    Antony is very frustrating but he’s miles ahead of Martial and Sancho. Those two will be here still next season but due to circumstance only, they look miles off the required level.
     
    Antony both impressive but also frustrating in that half. Key to all of our food things, but decision making lacking a couple of times.

    This. By far the best of the front three. Sancho has been abit of a joke again. Does absolutely nothing
     
    Shaw and Bruno were great. Antony very hot and cold, involved in most of our best chances but the end product still needs to improve. Apart from that very average imo. Luckily we're up against a Wolves side that don't seem motivated at all. I think we'll get the 3 points but I still have issues with the performance. We normally get worse in 2nd half so hopefully that won't happen today. An early 2nd goal would be nice

    It's weird how Antony gets more criticism than Sancho even when he's playing much better
     
    Antony is making his best Nani impression in this game. He has been better than in the last couple of games and is our most dangerous forward today.

    Sancho is bad, Martial is trying but can't stay on his feet, and the midfield is rubbish.
     
    Martial celebrating that goal felt cringeworthy for a player who is so poor in both work ethic (half hearted pressing) and tenacity
     
    Antony run at the end of the first half very similar to Bale trademark run. Hope he can improve on his decision making though.
