Is Ole playing Pogba so deep just so he can start Lingard in every fekin game? Ffs! Mind-boggling subs.

Played fine, unlucky with the pen. Move on before the doom and gloom negativity posters come in.

Not the worst result.

Poor game management cost us the game.

This Wolves-side is just a glorified Stoke. Watch them score a goal out of nothing in the second half and the story will be how they dominated our midfield for the entire game.

Win was there for us to take. Game was annoying as feck, they're a frustrating team to play against but we had our chances and shouldve won.

Ole's subs were shit. Didnt take a chance on changing the game earlier.

Really poor 2nd half. Gave away the ball in final 3rd almost every time except for the Martial pass to Pogba. Don't deserve to win because most of the starting 11 were average, although Wolves were about the same.

If only we didn't have to consistently play one out of Lingard, Pereira and Mata... Nowhere near top 6 quality, any of them.

No more penalties for Pogba, pathetic to have given it back to him for no valid reason.

Passing went to absolute shite in the second half. McTominay giving it away for fun. Lindelof losing his head. Shaw couldn't figure out which foot was which.

Wolvea remind me of that period in Van Gaal tenure when we could not bear Swansea to save our lives.

Hate Wolves

That's two points lost rather than a point gained. Several chances we should've used, namely obviously the penalty. Some strange decision making in the final third and some poor passing. The service to Martial could've been better if the points mentioned before were improved.

The goal can happen, although the defending of the shot was a little lackadaisical. But the chances not taking are poor.

I'm also curious as to why we didn't bring at least two new players on in the 80th minute? Why wait with two subs until the 88th? We were in desperate need of some fresh legs.

Overall, a disappointing result. The performance could've given us more.

We weren't bad. Wolves got nothing, but we have to score when the opportunity comes.

Our corners are absolute wank. It looks like theres no planning it's just hoof up in the air and hope somebody gets on the end.

Wolves have become a bit of a bogey team for us. In light of that, getting a point away to them is good. However, with Lingard missing a golden opportunity to put us 2 goals up, and with Pogba's shite penalty at 1-1, you can't help but feel disappointed.

Won't say I'm mad about the result. Said from the start I would be happy with 4 points from the first 2 matches.

However this match shows every single reason why we're going to finish 5th this season and it's nice it's appearing early to not get our hopes up.

1- Terrible and useless bench.
2- Terrible midfield.
3- Over dependence on a very inconsistent player as Pogba.
4- Not signing any replacement for Lukaku.
5- The inconsistent quality of management of Ole for matches.

Decent performance against a decent side. Still see a lot to be encouraged by.

Four points from these two games is more than acceptable. We'll probably have ten points in two games time as well.

Hate Wolves.

A lesson for us. Hope the coaching team knows where we need to improve.

Ole needs to make subs earlier and put Gomes on the bench at least. Much better he comes on in a game like this instead of Mata.

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.

Bit unlucky. Wolves defended well, hard to get too grumpy about conceding a goal like neves'. Felt we were a lot closer to the win than wolves.

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

Some encouraging signs in our football, decent enough result in a tricky away game. Disappointed we didn't win but I'm not too fussed about results this season.

Frustrating. We clearly have no plan B with this squad.

More than enough chances to win this one and it would have been deserved. Not to mention the penalty. Oh and Moss is awful. Plenty to be positive about but shame about points dropped really.

Performance wise we were decent enough. Not as much cutting edge but that's fine, it's about where we are.

I know everyone’s gonna be fuming and fair enough but they literally had 5 decent minutes and scored in those minutes, we were the better team from start to finish and there are plenty of positives to take. All in all a point at their place ain’t bad.

Either Mata or Lingard get their shit together or we will drop an enormous amount of dumb points this season.

I also suspect people would absolutely hate wolves if they were any threat for the top of the table.

Good point but we have some bang average players. Lingard mata are not good enough especially while chasing the game. Pogba should not take pens any more. Ole should take more control and have one fixed pen taker.

We'd have taken that before the game but so, so disappointing when we dominated in the way we did apart from the first 15-20 mins of the second half.

Not good enough. We will be better than last season but will be nowhere near the top 2. Jesse Lingard hasn't scored a league goal or got an assist in 2019. Shocking how he plays so many games for us.

Pathetic second half. Zero leadership, key players making mistakes, Pogba looking like he'd rather be anywhere else when things aren't going well, and we're petrified of the whole right hand side of the pitch. We're also soft as shit and allowed Wolves to bully us in the second half. Joke of a yellow card for AWB, joke of a yellow card for James, not contesting clear corners, and allowing a lad who looks like he should be contesting on love island instead of playing football bully us off the pitch. So disappointing after a brilliant first half. We need a captain, a midfield general.

Ahh feck

I cannot be arsed to listen to a massacre of Paul Pogba. Neville can feck off. He’s becoming more suited to TalkSport than Monday Night Football.

Pogba should have scored. Had a very good game, but he should have scored.

Fair enough it's only the 2nd game of the season but it's the goals when you're backs against the wall like that, which will put you in the elite tier of football.
