    Three halfs in a row where we've looked like a team that will never score another goal.
     
    Were a really poorly coached team. Its not been a bad performance but we lack quality upfront. Lack of composure and lack of penetration.
     
    Greenwood is coming wide and linking play together well but then he’s missing when we need somebody in the box. Either Chong needs to do that job and let Greenwood stay up front or we need to bring on somebody who can.

    We are garbage and theres nobody to bring on that can create anything. We need a creative midfielder desperately.

    You would have to sub out Matic for Gomes. Otherwise we'll be stuck with the same problem. Feel like Pereira has been better than Matic, and has done his defensive work better.

    The only time we have looked coached since Fergie left was during LvG's tenure.
     
    Look at the size of their CB and the quality of our crosses, it's pretty understandable for Greenwood to try overload the left for a shooting chance with his left imo. He has a really strong left foot.

    Btw the Romero save was just unreal, no idea it was pure luck or exceptional reflex.
     
    Painful half of football again for me. Just a lack of anything resembling a coherent pattern or style. Terrible stuff.

    Not a pen for me, either. Not enough contact there.
     
    Worst possible implementation of VAR. I am confident it would have given a penalty if the ref had deemed it one. If you just agree with the ref, then what's the point even.

    Average game so far. Maguire seems to be enjoying playing today, hopefully he hasn't injured himself. Greenwood and Periera have been decent.

    James need to get his shite together. He's been poor for a while now.

    We played very very similar to today under LVG. a lot of possession with no cutting edge, very few shots and generally being boring as feck.
     
    Don’t see the hype with Chong been poor whenever I’ve seen him. First half was as expected no cutting edge in attack, kept the ball better than I thought but it’s pointless unless you do something with it, fortunately Wolves aren’t up to much either, will need Rashford on 2nd half to make the difference.
     
    Our shooting has been fecking conference standard. Refs seem to give us nothing anymore. Mind you, Ole is probably too nice to have a go at reds, have a word in their ear and put them under pressure like SAF used to back in the day.
     
    A better first half than expected. Still, we haven't had a shot on target and it seems like our players haven't been taught to make runs off the ball. They're all just standing there waiting for the player in possession to do create something out of nowhere.
     
    I have no idea what Ole and the coaching staff are seeing in Chong, but he doesn't look like a PL player in the making to me, let along a United one.

    He's a headless chicken out there. Completely ineffective.

    If we are so poorly coached how to Fred and Pereira look so much better than they ever did before?

    We've a weak team out in a really tough away match and are doing pretty well. Feels like people just want to criticise anything at this stage.
     
    From what I have seen over the last few games.

    Williams should start ahead of Shaw. He offers so much more going forward and actually provides overlap runs.

    Pereira is our best number 10. I know he isn’t great but he’s much better than Lingard.

    Greenwood has to start over James on the RW. James has now had 3 months of being absolute crap. Doesn’t run into space, doesn’t take on his man. Not sure he’s had a shot that tested the keeper since the City game. Not good enough for a winger.
     
    Better team but struggled to create any chances against a Wolves side who at home have parked the bus and hope to hit United on the rare counter attack.

    That challenge on Williams was a penalty for me but not surprised Oliver didn't give it as he only loves Liverpool..

    The revisionism about LVG is tiresome. People are trying to convince us he has been good here.
     
    If Rashford or Martial got injured we'd be seriously fvcked.

    United have to be ruthless and spend big this window. They have no choice.

    James is shit most of times when other team sits deep. He is a player for counter attack when opposition play with high defence. He is good in games against City for example but not for this kind of teams

    LVG was building something and was good in terms of tactics. His choice of signings however were incredibly poor.
     
    We are just taking too long on the ball. If we can raise the tempo a bit instead of waiting and waiting and waiting for a pass option that will never appear, I think we'll win this comfortably.
