Man Utd 1 v 1 Wolves: The Verdict Thread

[Boozad]

Going on chances alone I think we deserved to win that, another stunning performance and a much deserved point. We're certainly back and we belong here.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Brilliant point.

 

[White Wolf]

Absolutely ecstatic. Deserved draw and we could have won it. Matched them throughout on their own patch, brilliant.

 

[wanderer89]

Fantastic point to go with a fantastic performance.
I love this team.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Eight shots on target at the theatre of dreams! Deserved point. We need fear no one on this form.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Fantastic result, great performance and a superb goal. Proud and delighted.

 

[malta mick]

and even the ref couldn't help them although he gave free kicks every time their players went to ground. a great performance and thought we created the better chances.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Not going to make any comment on individual performances as wasn't around for the first half, but that sounded like a superb performance.

Utd usually find a way to win close games, but we matched them & could have nicked it at the end

We belong here!

 

[Tredman]

Great game, really proud of the team to a man.

Fellaini is a shit house of a footballer, pathetic that a club of utd's caliber have to rely on hoofing it up to an elbowing machine.

 

[Parkins left foot]

We had less shots than they did, but more on target

Both keepers made very good saves - this was not a backs to the wall performance by us even though away against a top 6 side.

We could have won - and we not done that for a fair few years

Terrific, seriously terrific. Honestly, not sure it was better than last week (Burnley just smashed Bournemouth 4-0 btw!) but it was a very, very good performance. We notably tired 2nd half, understandably (and I doubt we'll be able to keep the same starting XI the whole season long) and it got quite scrappy and old school Fergie time bombardment...suitable, given the man himself was in attendance. But, honestly, even though I was watching with gritted teeth, I honestly wasn't dreading the 2nd goal like I have in previous years. This team is not anchored by the past and nor should we be.

MOTM Neves for me. Barely put a foot wrong, won the ball in midfield for the goal, usual excellent passing and broke up play multiple times. Looked completely at home against some seriously stiff competition. Jimenez was also very, very good.

 

[Jinky]

To have taken points off both Manchester clubs this early in the season shows we mean business.

We were superb today. Hanging on a little from 70 minutes onwards - although Traore had a couple of breaks towards the end and we could easily have won the match - but all in all, a point at Old Trafford is a great result for us.

Thank you Nuno & thank you to all the players and coaches.

MOTM today is probably Costa, although on reflection that may change, as Moutinho was superb as well (even without the goal). Happy days.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Its always been a good day when you can't pick the MoTM

 

[east-coast-wolves]

We properly competed in that game, so good to see. Even though United had a lot of pressure at the end, we dealt with it relatively comfortably and looked threatening on the break. A draw is probably a fair result.

Motm for me Costa or Boly. Not much to fault with any player but they were the pick at either end I thought.

 

[Siggy]

Brilliant point and other than the last 15 mins a fairly even game. Moutinho couldn't have picked a better time to score his first goal and what a Belter it was.

Rui with a few top notch save again, I'm starting to believe.....

 

[arklowolf]

Great game, really proud of the team to a man.

Fellaini is a $#@! house of a footballer, pathetic that a club of utd's caliber have to rely on hoofing it up to an elbowing machine.

This. Well said.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Keep playing like this and a place in the Europa League is an achievable target. Got to maintain these standards, because make no mistake we went toe to toe with Man Utd today and we were every bit as good as them for large parts of that game. We had to hang on a bit at the end but we are strong defensively. Boly is an absolute beast and Bennett and Coady are controlled and composed. But on the break we are always threatening, just once again we need to capitalise on our chances more.

 

[YoungWolf]

That was bloody brilliant! Hopefully we cannot follow up these past few results with some more positive performances over the next few weeks!

So many good performances hard to pick a MOTM. Thought Costa was superb though. The back three were great too. Jota getting better all the time

That appears to be the one big weakness so far - we have created sufficient, but just not completed them.

We are growing in confidence though & no reason why that will not come

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Could have won. Arguably even should have won. We'll go toe to toe with anyone in this league and we'll have far too much for most. Just fantastic stuff. So good in possession and we rarely look on the ropes.

Boly MOTM for me. Immense.
