Man Utd 1-1 Wolves - Verdict Thread

[Sniffer]

Off you go.

I thought we did well for long periods and had the better of the chances. We gave it a go and there was no lack of effort from the players. Let’s hope we can go out and try and win against West Ham rather than the dire crap served up at home of late.

 

[Tredman]

Mosquera played RB way better than the RB who was nominally in that position.

Let’s not ever see JSL, Jackson to Hwang ever, ever, ever again.

Yep all about backing up Saturday now, did well in most parts and a bit more quality we would’ve won.
Put in another one of those lettuce wrist displays again and this will be for nothing.

A good point. Affirmation of what we all know, we’re not very good and without 8 first teamers neither are United. Nice not to lose but it will mean nothing if we can’t follow it up against West Ham. When does the window open, be nice to think JSL will start on Saturday - for West Ham!

How can anyone give Hwang or Tchatchoua more than 6?!

 

[big mean bunny]

Feel like only the single DM gave us added depth as meant there was usually someone further up.

Sa had some good moments but is also insane and a nightmare to watch. My worry is we won't properly address keeper as any other day we don't get away with some of that. He is so much stronger at the corners though, even when he is messing up.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Genuinely the first game I've enjoyed in 8 months. Of course it was flawed, because we're not a very good team. In fact we are a crap team. But we fully deserved at least a point there, probably should have had all three.

Mosquera was good as was Mané. Tolu goes from looking very decent to bloody awful all inside 20 seconds at times, but I'd stick with him. There's something there (has to bury his chance of course). Krejci back to more like what we saw when we first signed him and a superb header.

Sa has his moron moments as ever but bailed us out with a great save (of course it was us nearly scoring yet another OG). Doherty gave his best despite clearly being nowhere near good enough. Arias was better in that role, although I wouldn't call it a good performance. Joao did pretty well being as he was the only actual midfielder in the team. Bueno was about as good as you get off him, didn't let endless crosses come in and got forward well at times.

Hwang is disgracefully poor and Strand Larsen should be ashamed of himself for that sub appearance. He didn't win a single thing. At least try you wanker.

Ruben Amorim is laughable. How can you set up like that against us, how can you watch it unfold against ONE OF THE WORST PREMIER LEAGUE TEAMS IN 34 SEASONS and let it carry on to the point we look more likely to score. How are you managing to neuter Matheus Cunha. Why do you take a centre half off for a centre half in every single game.

We're done, obviously, but we need more of these moments over the next five months. Give us something Wolves, eh. You're clearly not *that* hopeless if you put your minds to it.

To be fair to Edwards, we now have a way of playing in certain games.

That's Villa, Arsenal, Liverpool and United away where we have been competitive, had a plan, and given ourselves a chance of getting result.

The problem is we're going to the Championship where we probably won't have one game where you can set up in that way, but it does at least give us some hope that we might beat Derby's total.

When a shit team gets a result at a big team they usually say it's deserved regardless, but that actually was on the balance of play, as we probably edged it.

I thought Mosquera was MOTM. He's absolute box office as well which isn't really what you want from a CB but he is a character I like.

Mane was excellent, and I actually worry that this performance on a big stage could do us more harm than good in the long-term. Getting him on a longer contract (current one until 2027) has to be a priority. We should be building around Mosquera, R. Gomes, Mane, Tolu.

I thought Tolu went off ten minutes too early, he was good. To be fair, most of them were, even Arias.

 

[Tredman]

In hindsight I think JSL is the worst of the lot, he’s not crap and is a semi-decent footballer. That performance was disgusting. We all know Hwang and Jackson are wank but JSL is just a lazy fucking cunt. Fuck off to the West Ham shit show wanker.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Not wishing to be overly cynical, but it's no coincidence that our best performance for months comes 2 days before the window opens.

 

[Wolftone]

Thought we were better without André.
Moved the ball forwards quicker, kept the ball a bit better and were more positive.
Notwithstanding the fact that Utd were garbage.

 

[Jinky]

Tonight confirmed a few things.

Tolu needs to start every game now. Just fuck JSL off as soon as the window opens for whatever offer comes in - his attitude is disgusting and he’s actively not trying at this point.

Doc has his critics but we’d somehow be even worse without him.

Mane is decent. Watch Fosun sell him in the summer.

Hwang is just a woefully inept footballer. He’s clearly a lovely lad who trains hard, otherwise how does he keep getting picked?!

Could we go 4 at the back v West Ham? Rob probably won’t change it after tonight.

Yep. Jackson and Hwang are awful, but they are trying.

JSL is talented, but can't be arsed. Even his goal for Norway showed that. Which is worse.

 

[jd1981]

Just hoping that’s instilled a bit of belief in the players, got absolutely nothing to lose now really we’re toast but at least shut down the media’s desperation for us to eclipse Derby record.

 

[YoungWolf]

We are so back

(How does Amorim still have a job?)

 

[White Wolf]

Not very good as a team, got a point. In the course of the game do deserve something and for once got something which is nice. Saves that constant habit of losing. I'd just like us to not go down and completely humiliate ourselves, this result is what you'd hope to see more of. Point closer to not being the worst ever team as well. Arokodare should be starting more, maybe I'm harsh but I don't like watching Mosquera at all his decision-making comes across as hopeless... sometimes it works out in his favour and other times not but he's a bombscare. Tchatchoua, Arias, Strand Larsen, Hwang - they're all terrible. Larsen probably the worst offender there because it's not even ability with him, it's attitude. Also I do rather like Krejci, one of the few players who I feel like has a good attitude and is trying all of the time. Unlucky not to have got a second. Mane looks like a better option than most of our other players.

If you're a Man U fan you must be fuming - how does Amorim get so much slack off the media for his terrible selections and tactics? Solksjaer and Ten Hag got much worse and they were better.

 

[Leyton Wolf]

Thought Jackson's run and pull back to Arias in the second half was quite good... Obviously a proper right back ought to be in the building on January 1st but out of the 3 we have I think he has to play.

Unless you're putting someone out of position there.

 

[jd1981]

In isolation it’s a good point, however no win in 23 league games with 4 draws and 19 defeats.

Gary O'Neil managed to unlock Matheus Cunha. It isn't even difficult. Have him sat fairly deep, give him the ball, let him run with it, he'll cause mayhem.

Ruben Amorim has devised a role which has him on 3 Premier League goals after half a season.
