Post-match discussion


Mon, 19 August 2019

I let them sucker me in.

A decent side beat Wolves handsomely tonight.

Being undone by ‘the pace’ of Adams Traore is exactly who we are atm.
 
At least shitty fixture is out the way. We are doomed to never get an away win against these guys :lol:

Looking the same old story as last season dropping points in games like this.
 
Lingard and Daniel james should never start a game together again. If we are going to handicap ourselves and bring down the quality of the team we should do it the right way and include ashley young, jones and smalling.
 
After that game I can't help but wonder what it is that Lingard brings to the team? He was invisible most of the time, and when he wasn't, he was doing something wrong for the most part. Failing to sign that number 10 during the summer is going to keep biting United in the arse as long as the options are Lingard and Mata. Mata is past it, Lingard was never at it.
 
Really, really good first half followed by an equally poor 20 minutes just after half time.

Aside from that we were comfortably the better side against a good Wolves outfit. We've drawn a tough game away to a side plenty of teams will drop points to and were only an absolutely worldie and a missed penalty from a win.

Plenty of positives and a handful of things to work on. Not least that subs need to be made earlier when the performance has gone flat, and that Mata is not the answer when you're chasing a win.
 
First half was solid. Second half not so much. Missed chances (Martial, Lingard) and penalty cost us. Moss was shite once again but in the end a draw feels about the right result.
 
Lingard, Mata, and to an extent Luke Shaw are all pointless players who don't add any added value to the team.

Of course Pogba wanted to steal the highlights reel and take the pen, clown.
 
Reality check. 2 good pieces of play in attack, 1st the goal and 2nd the Pogba penalty win.

Wolves came closer to scoring 2 goals than we did, with the header off the inside of the post being a whisker away and the Neves finish. Lots of investment in the defense this summer but thats 2 games in a row where we've been lucky to get away without conceding 2 goals in each. Defending is a team responsibility, not just the CBs. But the CBs have less protection without Ander in front of them.

Maguire was probably still the best of the defense today but had his moments too, gave away the freekick that led to hitting the post for example.
 
Disappointed we conceded a sloppy goal from a corner but overall a point here is decent result. We deserved more but what can you do. Hope Rashford is back on pens now.
 
It’s frustrating but a decent away point against a team who are on the same level as us at the moment.

We all have our concerns but 4 points from those opening 2 games is nothing to fume over.
 
A game we should have won, but could have easily lost. A draw away to Wolves is not a bad result, but feel a little hard done by with their goal being a wonder goal that originally came from a goal kick to them that should have been a corner to us, and then to miss the penalty. But oh well, it’s 1 point better than last year here and that’s okay.
 
Different team in the 2nd half.

Disappointing performance. The usual suspects showing their inconsistencies.

Subs made too late to make an impact.

Think Wolves were there for the taking, didn't play well. Just sat back.
 
Thought we were really good. That’s a good Wolves team and we completely restricted them and should have scored more. Really promising signs IMO.
 
Not the worst result but still a lot of the same issues for me. We decided there weren't players available better than the squad so we can't now complain about it 2 weeks in.

Be nice if our manager decided to actually manage a game rather than being a spectator.
 
We've not enough quality. Criminal that we had no impact from the bench. 2 shots on target in 90 minutes isn't good enough...
 
If there was ever a game that highlights we need an on-field leader that was it.

A decent captain would never have allowed us to be bullied in that second half especially after such a dominant first 45.
 
Decent result on paper. Feels like a loss after the first half. Rashford and Martial are going to be burnt out by December.
 
2 points lost, there the game we need to win if we want to be champions
 
Subs were way too late which signals to me Ole knows he basically doesn’t have a bench from which to change things. Overall thought we played better than last season but we are going to really feel not adding reinforcements in midfield.
 
Lingard, mctominay and shaw all utterly hopeless. The paul pogba show costing us with the pen. Bringing on Mata just wow, worst sub
 
I guess I'll take that, but gutted given the chances we had to win.

Wan-bissaka, Matial, and Pogba(despite the penalty miss) were the best performers for me. Lingard was frustrating as he'll. Dan James showed some promise but has a lot to learn.
 
Subs too late. 88 mins in come on Ole. Pogba will get blamed for the pen miss but it was a great save tbf. Overall fair result I suppose but we need to be winning these games.
 
Great performance undone by a 1 in 100 wonder goal.
 
Should've put it to bed in the first half. Lack of subs is bizarre, we've no midfield. Jon Moss and his band of clueless wankers.
 
1. Jon Moss is a fat incompetent prick. As are his gang of linesmen/women.
2. Pogba should never touch a penalty again, unless Rashford and Martial are not on the pitch.
3. Dan James is far too green to be starting a game.
4. Lingard is shit.
5. Harry Maguire and Lindelof have brought great stability to our team.
6. We were undone by a random worldie strike. We win that game comfortably 9/10 times.
7. Second half performances must improve.
8. What is the point of bringing Greenwood on with two minutes to go?
9. Wolves fans are wankers.
10. Jon Moss is a rotund bastard and should not be refereeing games at the top level.
 
I don't blame Pogba, I don't hate Wolves. We threw that game away, we was slow and laboured. We need a midfielder so badly, it cannot be any clearer. With 30 mins so go we hardly created any chances. Draw was the right result, I am not being negative but top 4 will be a battle. The team is young so hopefully they grow up. Bring Mata on needs to stop. Serious criticism of Ole, he waits too long to make changes, he dithers. We were creating nothing for a long period, Lingard was bullied, James was careless yet he kept them both on. BIG season ahead. We had 8 days to prepare, Wolves had 3 or 4. Wolves for me ate favourites to finish higher in the table at this point in time. Urgency needs to be built in more, not this horrendous slow build up from the back.
 
Should have won, but wolves deserved a draw.

Some great partnerships forming: loved the work between Bissaka and James and McGuire/Lindelof/McTominay.

Pogba and Rashford equally frustrating and cost us the win.
 
Fecking Wolves. The only consolation is that we’re not the only good team they make an effort against.
 
I think it’s fairly obvious we are looking great at the back, pretty good upfront and utter shite in the midfield.

I’ll take it though - we’d have lost that last season
 
Choice of penalty taker should be regardless of who won it. Felt like Pogba took it because he won it. I think most would agree Rashford is a more convincing penalty taker.

I hate and love Pogba, which is infuriating. He costs us points and he wins us points.
 
We should have won that. Dominated most of the match and created a load of chances but nobody finished it.

Lingard the big culprit for me. Such a nothing player who missed an absolute sitter from wan bissakas excellent cross. Would have made it 2-0 and probably got us 3 points. It’s the one area we need upgrading. We need someone who can score 15-20 goals a season from that position. Sadly Dybala didn’t work out.

Unlucky for Pogba not to score the penalty. I think rashford or martial should take them from here on. They need the goals as they are our strikers.

3 points thrown away and wolves jammy as feck with that worldie from neves. We really need to buy him this summer ffs.

Thought Luke shaw showed Adama too much respect. He needs to play more confidently and get up the pitch and run past players more.

Other than that we look a vastly improved team and showing the same type of form as when OGS first took over.
 
every time we play Wolves their forwards get 4-5 non calls where they just shoulder charge the feck out of players. A point away to Wolves may not be a bad result in the bigger picture but it sucks that again we had the better start, got the goal and then fell apart leading to a result for them.
 
Feck off Wolves, absolutely despise these jammy counterattacking foul-appealing feckers. Should've won this one although draw isn't the worst result. Need a designated pen taker, feel for Pogba though as his play to win the pen was brilliant
 
McTominey gave the ball away too easily tonight. Not his best game.

Rashford free kick, less said the better. Lord knows what he does in training to justify taking them in matches.

Otherwise Wolves will feel luck to take a point from that. Neves pulls them out the mud!
 
Could have won that.

Wolves are a good team at home and outplayed us last season.

Well on top for 85 minutes of that game and pegged back by a worldly.

Lots of positives with how we set up which is streets ahead of how the team looked last season.

Very little to complain about

Watch out mate - this is a bit too positive for this place :)

I agree though.
 
Shaw was awful today in my opinion. Got destroyed on the left time after time, didn't offer anything going forward.
Subs were too late. Greenwood should have come on after 60 minutes for James.
I'm so fed up with us not winning these type of games.

Disagree. James got better and better as the game went on and was our best player in the second half. McTominay on the other hand had a shocker.
