First half: Solid. Composed. For the majority, in control. They’re a difficult team to breakdown but we could have had 2.
Wolves looked to take us on the break, they managed a couple of times but our defence were up to it.
My main issue was Lingard. Despite being given the number 10 position, he insisted on drifting right leaving nothing in the middle.
Second half: Completely different story. We looked panicky. Wolves played some nice stuff, string a few one touch passes together and you slice through our midfield.
Lindelof and Shaw made multiple dodgy passes under no pressure that immediately lost possession. The composure was gone.
Wolves pressed us higher up the field and we crumbled. Maguire was very good. Without him it could have been worse.
The goal was an excellent strike and a worldie. Had we not panicked, we would never have given them that run of play resulting in the corner.
The penalty incident is the main thing that irks me. Why. Why on Earth take Rashford off penalties? There’s no reason. He scored last week. He scored at PSG. If this is Paul asserting his dominance to take it to show to Madrid that he’s the man, then we’ll done Paul, you’ve made a right royal arse of it. Selfish twat.
The substitutes are bizarre. Why on Earth are they so late? Give Greenwood 5 minutes to make an impact? Ridiculous.
James should have been off much earlier. We were playing with fire with his yellow card, we were lucky but he didn’t do anything. He had the opportunity to feed someone in, he didn’t take it. Poor decision.
Mata was brought on for Lingard who’d been ineffectual for the past 40 minutes. Mata then proceeded to hit a corner into the first man. How much are these guys paid? Unbelievable.
Take homes from this match:
-Wolves are a good side. A draw away at them is not the worst thing ever.
-Corners remain an everlasting issue for god only knows why.
-Pogba is selfish.
-Lingard should not start the next game.
-Our decision making was terrible 2nd half
-Subs need to be made at least 15 minutes earlier
