Antony is always involved, just his decision making. Sancho, I hardly see him except the weak attempt.
Being involved is all good, but his decision making is just terrible. Sancho was Sancho. I've given up on him.

That would have been a lot more comfortable if Garnacho had started or at least been subbed on earlier. Sancho really can't say he hasn't been given every chance to shine, but it's really damning that Garnacho had such a bigger impact in a fraction of the time. If Rashford is still injured, Garnacho has to start the next match.

We dominated the game but still made me nervous throughout until Garnacho scores.

Bruno, AWB and Athony were the better players for me.

Garnacho and Fred did very well as subs.

Sancho was poor again today. If not for his goal, I'll probably include Martial as being poor.

Hopefully that's the last we see from Sancho as a starter. Garnacho has to start the next 3 games.

Garnacho is back!

Thought Antony had a good game too.

Sancho can be off in the summer. Waste of money and space.

Vital win. The issues with the team are obvious by now. Feck it. Let's get 2 more wins and worry about it in the summer

Antony and Sancho need to take fecking note from Garnacho.

Totally outplayed them, yet still made hard work of it. We're gonna limp over the line. I think...

United minus the Glazers
We need a proper forward. Wolves were woeful in the final third which meant we could afford to miss our chances and still hold the lead

Big 3 points that

We’ve dropped a lot of points lately and invited a ton of pressure so a win today was vital

I've finally discovered our problem in the final third. Its called Antony
What an absolutely strange comment when he was the best player of our starting three up front. Martial could hardly run and Sancho was invisible. Yet Antony is the problem who got the vital assist in the first half. Sure buddy :lol:. This board fecking hell.

Anyway vital three points.

I don't think Wolves got a shot on target. Any scares we had late on would've been meaningless if we could just attack properly. Bruno must've wanted to strangle someone with how many bad passes were put onto him in transition. But a win is a win, especially at such a vital point. We're still juggernauts at home and that deserves a CL place. Two more wins left.

Nervous win, great to have Garnacho back, so direct and clinical.
Anthony had a decent game but his finishing is bloody awful.
Bruno none stop.
6 points from 9 to make it safe.

Big, big win. But bloody hell we're poor in attack, against better side we'd have conceded today. 2-0 win and a clean sheet anyways, job done.

I pray that Leicester or draw with Liverpool to condemn to fifth so we would just need 1 win. I cannot trust this team, our forwards and midfielders are misfiring. Hard to get a win with Sancho, Martial and Antony.

Which is a sad statement in and of itself given how ineffective he is. We should've been up 3-0 at the half if he made the right decisions.

A win is a win and we undoubtedly deserved it but fecking hell this season can't end soon enough.

That's precisely it. His decision making is very poor, and yet he seems to evade accountability from ETH because he was his expensive nepotism signing.
I'll take Antony over a sancho who would stop and pass the ball backwards every time he gets near the box.

Being the best of a bad bunch isn't a great recommendation!

Doesn't change the fact your comment was absolute horsecrap surely? How is he the problem in our front three when the other two were way worse? He was actually one of our better players today

Very poor in the attack. No cutting edge which was expected as our attackers have been poor for a long time.

Good to see Garnacho back and with a goal too. Though not sure what the celebration was about. He threw the shirt on the ground and the team were really cold.

De Gea almost cost us another game with not reading the ball and coming out when not needed.

A proper striker and we would be comfortable in top 4.

Clear to see we need a striker. Dominated on chances. Same story all the time.

Good performance and victory but as always our attacking issues are there for all to see. We need so many attacks and so many goal attempts to score a goal.

Delighted with the points though!

Or maybe it’s because he’s young and needs to learn that decision making. Caf is way harsh on the guy.

I think the difference between the two is that ETH is far more likely to drop Sancho than Antony, never mind that we have suitable subs like Garnacho and Pellistri available.

Relief!
We are shockingly wasteful at finishing/the final ball.
That missed header from Antony was unforgivable.
But at this stage the win is all that matters.

Yeah bit weird to highlight antony when he was at least involved and got an assist. Sancho is just perpetually anonymous

I think he will improve over time, but unfortunately, haven't seen much in the way of improvement from his first appearance this year. If anything, he's stagnated due primarily to his poor decision making.

Easy game and job done, but the sort of game we win by 4 or 5 goals with proper fire power up front.
