Genuine question: why wasn't rashfords shot considered on target? If the defender gets it off the goal line it's on target right?
Let's be honest. These guys are currently better than Arsenal
It's different to how bad it was under Mourinho as there isn't any toxicity right now, it's just becoming more and more clear that Ole and the coaching staff are out of their depth in this job, if teams don't leave space for us to counter into we barely lay a glove on the opposition.
Why the feck didn’t we? It’s not like our schedule for January is so empty that we could afford a replay, if we wanted to be in FA cup we should have just fielded a strong team and subbed off main players after 50-60 mins(provided if we were winning). it’s not like a little rest is going to magically transform our squad into a quality one for the PL4 v 7 changes for manchester united from the previous matchday squad. Wolves put on the big guns early.
I dont want to split hairs but we fielded a VERY reserve oriented team here, Im not sure why its even being debated. We put no effort into winning this.
He is waiting for teammates to make runs or provide better options, even a League 1 midfielder can collect the ball and pass it to the safest option but it wouldnt take us anywhere.Considering Matic is a perfectly talented player, why does he think it's ok to turn in a circle 43 times before he passes forwards? It's painful to watch the silly twat these days. How the feck have we not signed a decent CM already in this window? Garbage midfield play.
Dont be silly... its an accumulation of years of build-up.
Just another day at the office for Ole and his boyz.- Manchester United failed to direct a single shot on target in a domestic league or cup game for the first time since January 2015 vs Southampton in the Premier League.
- Manchester United failed to have a single shot on target in this match, the second time they have done so in all competitions this season (also vs AZ in the Europa League).
- Wolves are unbeaten in their past five matches against United in all competitions (W2 D3), their longest such streak against the Red Devils since a run of six between 1959-1962.
- United failed to score for the first time in 14 meetings with Wolves in all competitions, since losing 0-1 in a Premier League match in January 2004.
- The Red Devils have been taken to an FA Cup third-round replay for the first time since 2012-13, when they eliminated West Ham at Old Trafford
in the Premier League.
The defender appeared to be limping after a challenge on Wolves’ winger Adama Traore in the first period, with Phil Jones going through an extensive warm-up on the sidelines.
However, Jones’s services weren’t required, as Maguire managed to complete the full 90 minutes. “I don’t know,” the boss said, when asked by BT Sport whether Maguire would be fit for the Carabao Cup tie.
“We were close to taking him off at half-time, but he battled through. Let’s see how he recovers. We hope so.“

Why would you keep him on the pitch and let him "battle through", in an FA cup game? Why risk? I really don't get it.
The only thing I can say is the stats are wrong. Rashford clearly shot on target. I'd say the stats people need to relook at their criteria for that stat or failing that don't call it shots on target!Genuine question: why wasn't rashfords shot considered on target?

Hilarious when Fred is coming on and the commentators say "here come the big guns" how far we have fallen.
Accepted the fact now we're just a mid table team and will be for a long time!

Cant get my head round this. This is better than LVG winning the FA cup or Mourinho winning Europa League and finishing 2nd and getting to cup final etc?Poor from us and Wolves were no better.
What is a Chong? He actually has no idea why he's out there. In the end Greenwood was coming out wide to get the ball himself because Chong delivered nothing. James looks shot. He needs a month off. Pereira actually looked ok but there was so little to compare him with. Even Williams was subdued although he's still got to be first choice now.
We'll probably beat City again somehow then lose this replay at home. Tough season but I still prefer this to anything Moyes, LVG or Mourinho served up. We desperately need a player who will go past defenders. Very little we do on the ball causes panic unless we're on the break.

wow sometimes you read a post and reality bites about how low expectations are....It's true, but we have lost to Wolves plenty recently, so still being in the hat is a good result. Even if we didn't need another game.
He is waiting for teammates to make runs or provide better options, even a League 1 midfielder can collect the ball and pass it to the safest option but it wouldnt take us anywhere.

for one of the richest clubs in the world with one of the biggest wage bills
Do you think expectations should be higher? I mean sure, looking at bigger context and where the club has put itself in the last years, sure. But the team that we have now? If people really think that, i mean . Wow. They are not in touch with reality.wow sometimes you read a post and reality bites about how low expectations are....

Interesting, thanks.I think the defender wasn't last man. Goalkeeper behind him.
On target defined as:
Goes into the net regardless of intent.
Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but for being saved by the goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is the last-man with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the goal (last line block).
I watched that show. And i have to say, that main guy running it is as thick as the most reactionary posters on here. His rhetoric is reactionary and he dosent know shit about football. When you go on like that you will attract negative attention. When i see them have 600k followers i understand the average football fan is changing. It makes sense now, how it is on twitter and every time we loose on here.Hmmm. They have a lot of strange ideas such as players not getting sufficient pay rises (our wages are quite high, no?) and seem to be quite attention seeking. That being said they're no different that anyone on here, we've all got opinions.
based on our wage bill, expectations should be much much higherDo you think expectations should be higher? I mean sure, looking at bigger context and where the club has put itself in the last years, sure. But the team that we have now? If people really think that, i mean . Wow. They are not in touch with reality.
Considering the side we put out, it could have gone a lot worse. It was an okay performance, a lot of hard work but we didn’t really do enough to win the match due to perhaps the lack of quality. Didn’t really want a replay but the draw
Romero was fantastic, Chong who has been pretty awful this year was decent, didn’t think anyone was particularly bad.
Also couldn’t believe we didn’t get the penalty.
Million times better? Zero shots on target. And the team against Arsenal was exactly the same team that impressively beat Man City, apart from McTominay.Say what you want, million times better than the Arsenal game. If this was the team vs Arsenal we wouldnt have lost so easily.
OGS is horrible but at least Lingard didnt play. The reason we did better is cuz we didnt need to compensate for him
Because he’s doesnt have a right footConsidering Matic is a perfectly talented player, why does he think it's ok to turn in a circle 43 times before he passes forwards?

It goes down as a blocked shot.Genuine question: why wasn't rashfords shot considered on target? If the defender gets it off the goal line it's on target right?
