We really did look an unorganised mess that first half

Team of individuals.
Tactically inept.

Surely we can’t be as bad as that first…

If the conclusion is that several players are unorganized it strikes me as a coaching issue.

I agree. It's been a theme for a while now. Just hope we nick a win somehow.

That is right. Our passing has been pretty awful.
Wolverhampton are much better at closing down. As a result our passing has been far too rushed.

I’m convinced they won’t be able to keep the mad pace up all game. We’ll score in the last 20 and escape with a dodgy ill-deserved win. Quote me!

So, we do need to sign a CDM this summer or we don't?

Of course we do, but even so, with this group of players we should be doing better. Pogba, Sancho, Greenwood, Bruno all on the pitch and we create nothing and had no shots on goal. Is that acceptable?

Someone actually wants Matic now

This place is laughable

I always want Matic. Fred couldn't pass to save a life.

pratyush_utd · Aug 29, 2021

Ole was about to explode there :lol:

Of course he hasn't

Has anyone seen Jadon Sancho?

Poor guy is getting a bit bullied

Apparently Sancho is a bust because he didn’t score twice in the first half on the road against a team that’s widely regarded as one of the toughest to play away. 45 minutes is all it takes to judge a player apparently

What’s a “bust”? He’s been very poor in that half, anyone can see that.

SirAnderson · Aug 29, 2021

NO CHANGES, life is over.

Ole is why we won’t win anything

sancho right
Pogba left
Greenwood cf

surely it’s not difficult to see this, Im not a lingard fan but he’s twice the player Dan James is, atleast play him over that kick and run merchant

I think James played to handle Traore's pace..

RetroStu · Aug 29, 2021

Has Ole ever made a tactical change at half time?

justsomebloke · Aug 29, 2021

He's got to do something - our CM is getting outclassed to the point of ridicule. Pogba has to move up.

48 hours · Aug 29, 2021

An actual free kick given to us by Dean

Judas · Aug 29, 2021

Bruno is going to get sent off isn't he, just seems to be totally wound up.

Why the feck has Pogba been playing deep since his amazing performance against leeds?

Because mctominay is injured, Fred-Matic didn’t work & Ole refuses to play Donny.

Woeful today.

PoTMS · Aug 29, 2021

Do Sky fancy doing any analysis or do they want to just plug as many ads in 15 minutes as possible?

Cassidy · Aug 29, 2021

No subs…

laughtersassassin · Aug 29, 2021

No subs two weeks in a row while being the worse team.

Ole mate what are you at?

Ranchero · Aug 29, 2021

Normally what happens is we are rubbish first half and then we up it second half.

Dobba said:
We're getting somewhere now. So which team at the top of their respective league, which is what you're presumably demanding of this lot, and who play good football are absolutely wank in midfield?

We don't have wank midfield. We lack top tier dmc. We have midfielders but it is on manager to set it up.
All of sudden it becomes that dmc is 90% of the squad. And all of sudden Fred or Matic are division 3 players. They are not top plsyers but feck me, you are behaving like they don't know to play football at all.

It is on manager. And nobody else. Excuses are tiring now...

But they misplace passes because there are no options. It’s the coaching and the lack of direction on what positions they should be taking up when we have the ball. Nothing on, so they have to try something riskier.

These are coaching problems, players need to be coached to produce fluid football. These problems are not going away with this manager.

It's a combination surely. Coaching has been poor but replacing Pogba with say Neves would be much better.

Didn't happen last week

Deery · Aug 29, 2021

If the passing improves in the second half we will win easy that’s the up side..

KeanoMagicHat · Aug 29, 2021

Bruno really needs to play as a midfielder sometimes and not trying to score in behind. It leaves massive gaps and it’s failing in his attacking midfield role.

Dobba · Aug 29, 2021

Can't believe Ole isn't bringing on any of the midfield options I've previously thought so little of that I've spent months demanding a new CDM.

Cassidy said:
Ole refuses to play 3 in the middle

But why... at least it would give us a little more control. We had Sancho, Bruno, Greenwood, James up front. Looked scary on paper but they barely get the ball.

James is a threat to whom though

Amad and elangas playing time.

Tarrou · Aug 29, 2021

have a weird feeling based on nothing we'll somehow win this

Desert Eagle · Aug 29, 2021

How is that not a yellow?

FootyGirl88 said:
Yes we need a DM, but our tactics are the main problem and have been for a while.

The tactics have been right. We need width on both sides, and Pogba is our only player in midfield who can pass it to them with a long pass.

The individual performances have been poor. Particularly Fred, James and Sancho.

It’s kinda obvious isn’t it? I hope Ole sees it the same way….

Yeap, it is obvious to anybody with two eyes. Doesn't take to be a Pep of management to see something so obvious. Unfortunately, Ole is stubborn and gets fixated on some players. If he makes any changes, they will likely be too late. Really disappointing, because he has a lot to be a great manager and then fecks everything up with lineups like today and the one last weekend. Really frustrating

redshaw · Aug 29, 2021

I'd get Donny with a job of passing in the midfield and beating the press with quick one touch passes. Probably his best strength if you watch him at Ajax in the CL, he's not this second striker or advanced Bruno player that many seem to go on about.

SirAnderson · Aug 29, 2021

No way we getting to a fast second half start, or getting an early second half goal. No way.

edgecutter · Aug 29, 2021

Ole just doesn't have the balls to make the obvious changes

Jev · Aug 29, 2021

Seriously, Ole, how can you not reshuffle the midfield after that half? He's not always making it easy to support him.

No issue with people calling him poor. A bust is a player who is a bad signing and shouldn’t have been brought in
