    It's all been a bit slow from us this half. Wolves haven't been very threatening but have found themselves in some good positions at times.

    We need to up our performance in the second half if we want a win.

    I hate Jon Moss with an absolute passion , the cnut drives me mad , i've seen better sunday league refs
    1 minute added. :lol: shoulder 'injury' alone took more than that. United put ball out another time. He's a fat lazy waste of a referees place

    Maguire and Bailly are probably our best players. Some fantastic interceptions and blocking there.

    Otherwise I won't say it was a terrible half but we definitely need quicker tempo and better touches on the ball.

    Still think we'll win this. No way these robots of Wolves keep this intensity for the full 90 minutes.

    cannot even complain about fatigue, a lot of these players have had more rest than others. the first 45 mins was all pass and no substance. they need to move the ball much quicker and stop being so static.

    Just saw a replay of that Bruno pass to set up Rashford at the end.

    Thought it was good on first watch, but even better on replay...absolute perfection in terms of weight. Really high difficulty too.

    Bailly has been very good today. He deals with a high line better than he does a low block. Weird player.

    This midfield needs an injection of energy. There's very little running off the ball, just LVG tempo and either Rashford dallies on the ball for a minute or Telles lumps it before a run is made. It's not that Matic or Pogba have been the worst, it's just not a functional midfield.

    I'd sub them both off for McFred.
    Yep totally this, they have zero urgency and it slows the whole team down with way too much side ways passing.

    Get Fred on for Matic and Martial for one of Mason and Marcus, he’s so much better when we are camped on their box with little one twos.

    Didn't they have a man down with a head injury for at least a minute?

    Frustrating half, that. We need to get Pogba on the ball more with runs in behind. Does Bruno have something against Mason?! On quite a few occasions he ignored the pass into him.

    Well that was tedious and uninspiring
    A game against Wolves, in other words.

    Awful as always against them. They actually look the more likely side to score. Hard to see where a United goal might come from here.

    Imagine how tough we’d be to beat if we could actually attack from either side of the pitch. Our right side is such a non-factor!

    0 cohesion when we play with this Matic Pogba pivot because neither of them make anything resembling an attacking run so we're left with our front for just standing in a line either trying to link up on the edge of the box or pump the ball in to noone. It's fecking awful

    It's the balancing act of risk between accepting they're going to have a few counter opportunities and sacking off Matic for someone like Mata or VdB. How much does Ole want the W is the question.

    I'm just not surprised anymore by these performances when we have opportunities to climb the table. Its a shame really.

    I'm getting fed up of these results that match other teams dropping points so we attempt to gloss over them.

    This team has such a weak mentality unless we go behind.

    Bring Martial on so we have someone to run at them at least.
