Appalling. So many bad performances, not any worse than AWB though

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Poor game, very slow, didnt deserve a win.
Management made a poor decision with starting line up.
Cannot play Pogba in a midfield two with the players we have.
Matic's second half performance decent.
Baily and Shaw decent tonight.
Every one else below average.

How do we not deserve it? Created more, looked more likely to score, defence was strolling around. Wolves came for a point, Traore, Neto completely nullified.

Yeah, we didn’t deserve it

 

[crossy1686]

You'd have been excused for thinking Jose was the manager of Wolves tonight. They deserved that sucker punch at the end.

 

[lex talionis]

Scrappy, but we found a way to win. Fixture congestion compromises performance quality, but I really would like to have seen better final third play in the first 15 minutes, when we had their testicles in the vice grip. Once Wolves got through that, they had belief.

 

[Al-T]

Expected scrappy, got scrappy, but most importantly got 3 points.

 

[SirAnderson]

He definitely was. He was class and I believe we could have struggled a lot more to stop Wolves' counters if we didnt have him tonight.

Can't imagine if it was Lindelof instead. He's definitely staking his place as the main partner to Maguire. Hopefully he can keep fit.
Don't know about Villa game, with his injury record, may be wise to rest him? But I'd rather him start if he is fine, the fitness coaches will know best (you'd hope).
But super happy for Bailly tonight.

 

[hycool]

This felt like a vintage United performance. Never give up, and nick it at the death. At least we end the year well!!

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Appalling. So many bad performances, not any worse than AWB though

Defends well, can’t cross or overlap

 

[Van Piorsing]

Wolves are such time wasting c*nts. Glad they were punished.

 

[Hester_manc]

it was a tough fight. Wolves are really well organized. Should there be a winner, it should probably be us. I really like Adama Traoré. I know his season has been bad, but I would like him in a United shirt.

 

[VivaRonaldo85]

Massive win. The scousers will have felt that one deep in the gut tonight - the feckers!

A typical wolves game again. They are so well coached. We were shocking from start to finish. However, the value of those 3 points feels even more precious with a stuffy deflection, scoring in the 94th minute, and given we always drop points vs Wolves.

Bailly was excellent and easily our MOTM. A great shame his fitness record is so poor cause when he’s good, he is just what we need at CB.

 

[SeanyC]

Gritty...the kind of performance we used to do under Fergie when freezed out by opposition defences..all about the points though so we will take that

 

[crossy1686]

How do we not deserve it? Created more, looked more likely to score, defence was strolling around. Wolves came for a point, Traore, Neto completely nullified.

Yeah, we didn’t deserve it

We also scored (offside) and had the best chances. Only one team looking to score in the second half.

 

[Galactic]

I thought we were patient and only pressed late on. We were solid at the back. I think we learnt from the mistakes of the miserable home form and results pre-Leeds. This is a relatively good performance considering the hectic schedule plus rotation and it’s something we can base our future matches on when teams defend against us

 

[MonkeysMagic]

If I never see us play Wolves again it'll be too soon, sadly I will have to! But so happy to get a win when nothing comes off in 90 min.

I can't understand why we don't start games like we did against Leeds, the slow ponderous and unimaginative play kills us with dropped points.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Think you lads will need to continue criticising Marcus, it makes him score.

 

[Nick7]

Fairly lucky win in a game that had 0-0 written all over it. I fecking hate Wolves.

 

[Judas]

I never want to play Wolves again, just a horrible team.

We were dreadful. Matic, Maguire and Bailly were great though, fair play to them.

I just hope this win gives us a bit more belief that anythings possible this season.

 

[Reditus]

No idea why I follow the match thread in here from time to time. It’s same shit every time

relentless negativity. Every player shit or overrated. post after post of same drivel. not a clue if it’s same bunch of posters or is everyone like that?

 

[TMDaines]

How do we not deserve it? Created more, looked more likely to score, defence was strolling around. Wolves came for a point, Traore, Neto completely nullified.

Yeah, we didn’t deserve it

Yeah. Wasn’t ever convinced we would go on to win it, but we were the only team truly wanting it and able to force the issue. Defensively we looked very solid.

 

[The Hilton]

Wolves are a difficult team for anyone to beat, but all the sitting deep and blocking shots meant that an unfortunate (for them) deflection was looking more and more likely

 

[Oldtraffordboy]

Absolutely terrible game, as it always is.

7 games against them, and we still play the same walking football?

I just don't get it.

 

[Neo_Mufc]

3 of the biggest points we have got in a long long time. Worst game to watch but my word what a result.

 

[Ivor Ballokov]

Congratulations to Wolves on stopping any kind of football match breaking out.

Good result though and a nice confidence booster by winning ugly.

Bailly was excellent, Matic was good defensively but as usual on the ball.

 

[nickyboy1981]

You need that luck, it genuinely feels like we haven't had it for years.

Maguire mom for me, him and Bailly were great.

 

[Blood Mage]

Wan Bissaka is a problem. With a better RB we'd be a great side. Good win in the end though.

 

[BoulderDevil]

I’m already tired of hearing people trashing our performance today. You can’t be world beaters everyday and wolves came to us with absolutely zero intention of playing football. Likely to rest their legs sitting back after a tough game in the previous match. We weren’t fully at the races and managed to come away with 3 point. Deserved more against Leicester last week and didn’t get it. The Universe is in balance!
Also, Bailly is soooo effective against the counter attack teams.

 

[Foxbatt]

This is the point. We need to win. How I don't care. It's better to win ugly rather than entertain and lose.

 

[CM]

Wolves got what they deserved there. Complete lack of ambition from them.

Good win for us though, I'll take that all day long.

 

[DavelinaJolie]

Defends well, can’t cross or overlap

And in a game where his defensive capabilities weren't heavily tested, boy he looked bad. He was scared to try and cross the ball.

 

[ChaddyP]

i knew we would have score..."Manchester United always score"

 

[#07]

Three points is all that mattered today. We got the job done when so many times over recent years we've failed to. That's all the progress I need to see.

 

[Galinha]

Horrible game.. but these points feels so good.

I don’t get why we didn’t try to shoot more. We have the players and the space outside the box.

 

[Still ill]

Well that was massive. Delighted we can still win like this. They'll be buzzing after that.

 

[littlepeasoup]

Liverpool were the absolute masters of this last season. Not particularly great, but they somehow managed to produce a bit of skill, or get a bit of luck to get a result.

That game against the dippers on the 17th is looking properly tasty.

 

[Judas]

Massive praise to Bruno and Rashford. Bruno is clearly knackered, still got that assist, and I'm so not surprised it was Rashford who took the chance (with some luck) at the end.

 

[simplyared]

Rashford making wrong decisions again

 

[Roosney]

I don't get people say we didn't deserve this. Wolves had a clear game plan and well organized system, but we were patient and finally got the reward.
It was boring, sure, and we were slow at times but damn well deserved all three points.

Greenwood was great early on but faded away soon after.

 

[Mibabalou]

Both teams were totally out on their feet but we got it done.

Wish we had a bit more attacking depth because we are so reliant on Bruno and Rashford. Looking at our bench we really need someone else to step up; James, Martial, Greenwood, Cavani, Mata, VDB we have numbers but no quality right now.

 

[NFM]

I like the Table in the Guardian right now, has Utd top with 33 points.
