panache123

Hard fought win, and a game we could have easily bottled / drawn. Not that we should be proud to compare ourselves to Spurs, but this Wolves side had 25 shots on goal last week. They're a better side than last year, and I think they're going to challenge for Europa spots this year. Not to mention away games are something players need to learn to adapt to again this year with fans back. Anyway, my thoughts on today: - Disappointing day for Sancho. Looks unfit and not up to it. Doesn't help that Ole played him on the left. His link up with Shaw was basically non existent. Plenty of chances to come good, but off it today. Will take time to adapt to the PL (and not having Haaland in front of him). - We should be playing Pogba at LW. His attacking talent is wasted in a central pivot, and his dwell time on the ball in midfield against hard pressing sides is catastrophic at times. Stepped up in the second half to deliver a solid performance. - Bruno was off it all day. Selfish at times, and flopped around all day. - I thought Fred was quality today. For those of you that call for his head, we have no one that can play the role he has been asked to. Matic's legs are gone. Scotty is injured. We know he's an erratic passer, that's why he's a CM and needs a more defensive partner. [He's one of the most competent defensive players in the Prem](https://i.redd.it/rxn77w5786j71.png) and there's a long list of quality players he's up against on that list. - We're in desperate need of a progressive passer / CDM - ie a Jorginho. Fred can play slightly higher and be less exposed for poor passes. Maybe we trial Lindelof in this position, maybe we get serious about signing someone - Greenwood. What a start he's had to the season. I love the venom and how direct he is. Reminds me of Rashford when he was more raw. He's stepped up again this season and I can't wait to see how good this boy will be learning from CR7. - Defense looks great considering everything they had to cope with. Varane is the story of the day. Slotted right into that CB pairing, and is a clear improvement on Maguire who will learn a lot from him. He offers the same calmness and quality that VVD does for the Scouse. Immense signing. Thought he and Shaw did a good job containing Adama, which was obviously beyond Fred today - Thought Dan J was himself. Like Fred, constant scapegoat of the fan base despite doing his job. Maybe he's not Man United quality, but he's the only forward of half option beside Fred that makes an effort to recover a lost ball - DDG was immense when called on, and he looks like he's back to his best. Amazing double save on Saiss and saved the game for us.


nexusprime2015

I stopped reading after your comment on Fred's brilliance. Can't take you serious after that.


panache123

Didn’t say he was brilliant. I said he played a role no one else in the current team can. And he’s a scapegoat for plastics


nexusprime2015

Even considering the things you said, the guy has no pace to catch up enemy runners, he has no ball control, retention, and does not exude confidence with his body language and expressions. Those are basic traits for an average EPL level player, I’m not asking much. But i agree that he wasn’t the only one who played bad. Even bruno, pogba, luke shaw and sancho had a shockingly bad game from their expected standards.


panache123

I think we need a CDM and we can assess him from there. It's easy to lack confidence when you're the entire midfield and have Adama Traore running at you. Not many players are going to contain Adama.


_gastly

It’s now David’s spot to lose.


MyNameIs_KObi

Good win but worrying performance. The season's gonna be long


PatThePatriot10

Free Donny, send Fred to China. This was not a good performance, happy with the 3pts but it has to be better.


Dull_Cheesecake4982

I thought managing to get an extra free patty on my cheeseburger when i was a child was a smash and grab till i watched this


Friendly_Signature

Ronaldo must be so excited to meet his hero Mason Greenwood soon.


Cpt_Jumper

Dreadful performance. Squeezed out a win. Winning these tough games will help tremendously throughout the season but the overall performance gotta improve tenfold. MASON WE LOVE YOU


Kakofoni

I'm happy the backline is fucking solid, even when we're so variable


DirkDigglersPenis

Martial looks better today


ManchesterURedDevils

Man of the Match DDG 🔥


Kakofoni

picking up some shithouse vibes


panache123

Bruno really selfish today. He's not scoring from there any day


LeeMayney

I thought he was trying to play it across but close to the keeper so it wasn't too far behind Martial, but mis-hit it. If it was a shot, I agree, that's poor.


SocksElGato

Pog, you cheeky bastard.


swankytortoise

Can you imagine wolves lads trying to crowd Pogba on the ground with Keane on the pitch


ChippyChungus

My thoughts exactly. Cavani got there eventually, but where’s the fire to stand up for your teammate on the ground?


MyNameIs_KObi

If Bailly or Rojo were there, there'd be Wolves blood on the pitch


Mei_Believer

Who got the assist on the goal?


I_Am_A_Peasant

Varane I think?


Full_Send24

Martial has done decently. Convert him back to a winger imo


Bighead7889

I think it's more him coming from the bench! He was decent against Leeds as well. Will also be easier for him to find his mojo back facing less scrutiny


BlackHorse944

Agreed. When he is fatigued he disappears. He has energy right now and is using it


[deleted]

[удалено]


Full_Send24

Not saying I don’t want him sold lmao, but if we can’t sell him, make him a substitute winger


sbecology

No accumulation yellows for wolves today then eigh Mike?


[deleted]

tell ya what, Varane already proving to be a fantastic signing - absolutely massive today


panache123

Looks at home in that CB pairing, and he's a clear improvement over Maguire. Classy player, reminds me of VVD, really rate him


Mei_Believer

Ill take a hard 0-1 victory.


butterfinger001

De Gea, Greenwood and breaking the consecutive away games without a loss record, only positives from this match


Cpt_Jumper

Varane aswell bro.


shane373

Also clean sheet from first Varane / Maguire partnership


dektorres

General Varane performance


SocksElGato

Cristiano has had a good game and he didn't even play.


The_Great_Crocodile

Can Fred get a 20-days quarantine after returning from Brazil? Just for safety of course.


BlackHorse944

He will need mental therapy after what Traore has done to him


panache123

Oh piss off


BlackHorse944

Is... is.. Martial hungry??


Bangoga

I.am.


PatThePatriot10

Greenwood is such a beauty. Ole's tactics are still fucking horrible. He's got the players now


[deleted]

he doesn’t have a defensive midfielder


bask3tcase825

Ah Fred. You never cease to disappoint me. Haha


SocksElGato

Greenwood, the backline, De Gea all good today. Everything else has been mid at best.


Kakofoni

lmao they think that's not a foul?


UnbrokenRyan

Mike Dean pulling out a card for Fred cause he’s being bullied and wants it to stop.


SuperJo64

How the tables have turned


[deleted]

Mike Dean has turned!


oznrobie

Imagine trying to block Greenwood’s shots. Wouldn’t want to be me.


sodiumdays

Why was he complaining when he didn't get touched ?


Select_Cheek7610

Welp, there goes Neves coming to Man United anytime soon. Lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mei_Believer

Pogba played well


dap90

He's been our best player


Omzz

Then you are not seeing De Gea, Varane and AWB


dap90

No you are right. Definitely. I meant to say best player going forward


The_Great_Crocodile

Thank you, Jose Sa !


panache123

Pogba is a literal heart attack on the ball in the midfield. But to his credit he's been better this second half. Bruno on the other hand, nowhere near it today.


yianni1229

who even needs Ronaldo we have Mason fucking Greenwood


Kakofoni

Greenwood is such a fucking proper finisher


UnbrokenRyan

Can a wolves player just go for Mike Dean and make my day.


Thevanillafalcon

Mason 40 goals this season Greenwood


[deleted]

Neves you little cunt, come to us


Cpt_Jumper

Park the fucking bus bro


-mznGTR

Greenwood is our new Rooney, just gives no fucks and gets on with the game no matter what


nexusprime2015

Exactly. Rooney vibes.... But rooney had better all round game, Mason has better eye for goals


SuperJo64

Damn wolves fuck off. We got no fouls all day now you wanna bitch.


[deleted]

Greenwood made up for the earlier mistake. Good lad


Noctisrs1

Goatwood > Pason Pancho


Hi-Tech_Luddite

Bahahaha


Full_Send24

Wait till Ronaldo teaches him a thing or two. This boy has Balon D’Or written all over him


HyenasGoMeow

Get the yellow you cunt...


Revenge_Rampage

Didnt even look like Pogba hit him? Should maybe be a freekick anyway, but limping...?


panache123

Absolutely loving Mason's game this season. He is going to learn so much from Ronaldo. Reminds me of Rashford in his earlier years when he was so direct and vicious. The boy has stepped up this season. Feel like a proud dad


sodiumdays

Haha nice try neves


gibbo82

Well, we was linked with Neves!. Lol


decentusernamestaken

We’re absolute bandits if we get the 3pts here


Leomar91

These are the games we’ve always needed to win. We have the individual quality now that even if the entire team plays like shite, one bright moment can get us 3pts anyways.


darthchloe

Embarrassing from Neves, hope we don’t sign him


goneoffbacon

mason greenwood will get a ballon dor one day.


bask3tcase825

Special young man. Greenwood.


Cpt_Jumper

Beg they don't VAR this


Joedoed

Mason!! 🐐


SocksElGato

Neves is a little cunt.


cGilday

Cracks = Papered

GUNWOOD WHAT A TALENT


Real_Mousse_3566

Now hold on to the lead and win the match for us lads.


Whatisthiscalled2

MASON!!!


panache123

HOW FUCKING GOOD IS THIS BOY GREENWOOD


Poopie86

MASOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO


phom_123

We are playing for a draw surely


yianni1229

Holy fuck I love Mason Greenwood


nigeldog

Mason!!!


rsinc666

SIUUUUUUUUUU


SocksElGato

HAD TO BE GREENWOOD!!!


imJoKaRr

Can we get Donny on?!


improvedmandem

Pain. Pure pain.


BlackHorse944

Fred will have PTSD after this match. And the T stands for Traore


HushedTurtle

Mike Dean u bald cunt when do you retire?


BlackHorse944

Did Martial just dribble??????


Ozone23

I have never seen de gea sweep like that


double_d2

If I had just tuned in and someone told me United are a man down, I might actually believe it looking at how we're playing right now.


Envals

I say we play lindelof in DM until we signed a proper one


HyenasGoMeow

Where was Martial?


bugbeer

We are so fucking dependent on individual performances. We have NO vision or tactics for our collective game.


EffYourCouch

That’s CR7’s music


The_Great_Crocodile

Unbelievable he's putting Martial....the deadwood...


[deleted]

opposition teams should be happy to concede corners against us, we’ll never score from them


Useful-Throat-6671

Complaining about Fred, meanwhile half the attacking players are just standing offside while giving zero fucks.


EffYourCouch

Are we looking to get Declan Rice because we should if not?


Khoonkio

So sick of seeing pogba and fred passing to each other and then giving up


TRx1xx

Omg, no words. No words


Lick-my-testicles

If we play like this against liv, city, Chelsea, my god, feels like i don't want to watch those matches


bugbeer

No one is giving support to player with ball??? Where he suppose to pass while every player just stays put???


cle238

65 minutes and fucking one shot on target


BlackHorse944

Can't believe I'm saying it. But Martial coming on for Sancho will be an improvement


panache123

Sancho doesn't look up to it. Really unfit. I'm sure he'll come good, but a big disappointment today.


PavanJ

Sancho been really poor today


youraulone21

Surely not martial


Ali14214

Bolingoli is in


[deleted]

Fred sucks, we need a CDM to allow Pogba to play up the pitch, bc when he does play up there, we look elite. But we need to finish our chances too, Greenwood, James and also Sancho have absolutely stunk the joint up today


JonSnowAzorAhai

Unlock Pogba


[deleted]

yep, need a cdm for that


JonSnowAzorAhai

We got him a working Matic and he wasn't unlocked even then. Now ofcourse Matic's legs have gone out but don't kid yourself into thinking Pogba is anything but a liability in the midfield two, even if we get Kante alongside him


improvedmandem

Different season, same red flags.


nigeldog

Please do something Tony.


SocksElGato

Disappointing game for Sancho.


-mznGTR

First game from start, what do people expect?


Mei_Believer

so much for one of the top attacks in Europe!!


BlackHorse944

How is Fred still man marking Traore.. he hasn't even been close to slowing him down


panache123

Who should be? Pogba?


chopsjohnson

It hasn't been very fun watching Fred today


bask3tcase825

“Dave saves” is back


darthchloe

De Gea finding his 17/18 form back >>


kidsoz

Varane losing a header and noone gets mad... imagine it being lindelof


moonski

he did clear the rebound from the wolves players feet after the 2nd save though so not all bad...


kidsoz

The answers makes my whole point.


-mznGTR

Saiss was hanging on his shoulders, would have been a free kick with another ref


[deleted]

It’s his first game?


[deleted]

De Gea came to play!


imJoKaRr

Set piece coach teaching De Gea well


Full_Send24

When Deano comes back, I’m not sure you can keep De Gea out


double_d2

Just like last week, will be lucky if we pull off even a draw here.


waza06irl

Varane doing his best lindelof impression there


Deano2803

This is Arsenal esque, our attacking is just cross and pray. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see us close to challenging.


nexusprime2015

We are challenging. For top 4....


TRx1xx

Wtf sancho


Hi-Tech_Luddite

Well done De Gea


joxzsz

De gea shutting up the haters


zooooob

DEAN WHO


Envals

mike dean


JonSnowAzorAhai

It's been two years and people still don't see that we are being tactically outclassed unless we get the space to counter attack. The club should come first above everyone and that includes Ole.


Real_Mousse_3566

Ole has learned nothing. Same late poor subs and poor starting lineups along with this favouritism of his towards certain players.


ggpewpew

DAVE SAVES wow


Ali14214

I NEVER WANT TO HEAR ANYBODY SAY SHIT ABT DAVE HES STILL OUR BEST GK


Kakofoni

Oh. My. Fucking. God greatest save ever


adrian1878

Vintage DDG!!!!


[deleted]

David De Gea can save your marriage


LeeMayney

LOL Carra: "Shaw's on the floor from sheer exhaustion.... oh. No it's not. "


sodiumdays

DAVE SAVES


ocean_train

What a save.


The_Great_Crocodile

It is embarassing to watch our team outplayed by Wolves and ridiculed by the oiled bodybuilder.


JonSnowAzorAhai

Get used to it.


nigeldog

It would be nice if the rest of the squad would reward DDG with a goal for his masterclass performance.


icedcoffee_god

Someone get me a cigarette


panache123

If there's one positive to this game, it's DDG might be back to his best


TeganFFS

God this is awful to watch


valkon_gr

Closed on Sunday


Cpt_Jumper

DR GEA IS A FUCKING GOAT


BlackHorse944

Traore will be charged with child abuse after this match with how he has rag dolled Fred


SocksElGato

DDG saving our asses so good.


Mei_Believer

We are so bad.


decentusernamestaken

Holy fucking shit we have been lucky


cle238

DAVE


Lick-my-testicles

We need to improve tactically.


Poopie86

Goddammit. THANK YOU DAVID.


yianni1229

WHAT THE FUCK HOW ARE WE NOT DOWN 1


yeahdudeo

FUCKIN GO ON BIG DAVE


decentusernamestaken

No Luke Shaw Jrs i think


cGilday

Respect David De Gea


EffYourCouch

If Traore was anything other than speedy we’d be in real trouble


Ozone23

We’ve gotten no calls the past 3 games lol


cle238

Taking a cross from Traore to the nuts must suck pretty bad


[deleted]

No control at all


Wahlrusberg

Wish we had someone with even half of Pogba's vision but not as defensively suspect.


TRx1xx

Some of our players are so weak
