We don't deserve anything out of this game. Have we even had a shot on target? Traore has absolutely raped Fred today.
Nah bollox. It's not Greenwood's job to be tackling Traore is it? It's Greenwood's job to score. Last time I looked he's doing his job
You're boiling it all down to Fred which is pointless. Everyone has struggled to keep up with Traore today and we are double marking him to get him down. Shaw has come in too to try and contain him.
Yep and Shaw has at least got stuck in. So has AWB and both have contained him as the game has gone on. Fred has got nowhere near him. I'm not boiling our attack down to Fred at all. But defensively, it's his job. How hard is that to understand? Anyway fck it, let's hope we can hold on for a 1-0 win. And if we do, it will be fck all to do with Fred. All to do with that back 4 and De Gea who have been tremendous today
We should recognise and applaud the players who deserve it. Greenwood, ALL our back 4 and De Gea have been brilliant They deserve all the credit if we win this.
The point is that Traore has been a tank today. Fred is no where near as fast or strong enough to contain him. So we needed to assign double marking to him given he's their main threat. Pogba has played really well today. Hopefully we hold on for the win.
Thank fck he has no end product. For all his strength and bullying and running with the ball, he does fck all with it. He'll never make the step up to a bigger club. Pogba's been ok, nothing brilliant but not poor either.
1-0 and 3 points. I'll take the win but that performance was utter ****. One moment of individual brilliance and some great goalkeeping, and poor Wolves finishing got us that result.
It was a tough game, Treble. That's why most pundits thought we would lose. I think 1-0 is a great outcome. De Gea though! I was saying in pre-season that I'm not concerned about the goal keeping situation. De Gea had an iffy few years but today was amazing reminder of just how good he can be with reactive saves. He won us the game today.
I was fully expecting a difficult game. Maybe my mistake was expecting us to rise to it and actually compete
Nah! This is what it is all about, boys. It was never going to be 5-0 with Wolves. I'm glad we raised the game in the second half. Great substitutions too from Ole. Martial is far better for us on the left. He calms the game down with ball to feet, penetrates with smart dribbles and makes good decisions.
Wan Bissaka, Varane, Maguire and Shaw looked good for their first game together. I didn't see any panic in there like with Lindelof. I think that's a good sign of things to come. There was one point where Varane had to mop up when a Wolves player got through into the box. Varane saw the danger, cut across, got the block in, then turned to the others and let rip at them. Fcking love it, we've missed that at the back
Why are you making stuff up? Everyone accepts it was going to be a difficult game. Nobody's said 5-0 We didn't raise our game. We had no shots on target except one from Pogba from a corner until Greenwood scored. What game were you watching mate?
Greame Souness is such a dk! Neves shouldn't have gone down in delayed reaction given the tackle did get catch him. No need to pretend at that point.
