Wolves 2-0 Man Utd: Verdict Thread

[The Bear]

A very solid and composed performance for a change. The back 3 and central 2 DMs all work hard to close players down and press along with Cunha too. Makes us a much harder proposition to break down through the middle.

Add that to the hard work and class of a player like Cunha and we look like we'll have a chance in most games going forwards now (dependent on how long his ban is).

Nice to have a bit of cuteness in the goal too, with two players boxing off Onana and distracting him enough to get nowhere near the ball.

Late nerves but managed it well and killed them from the hoofs!

Cunha MOTM by a country mile.

P. S. Two clean sheets in a row? What is this sorcery?

Its a christmas miracle 5 goals scored 0 conceded.

 

[YoungWolf]

Makes me even more annoyed we waited 16 games to put a competent coach in charge.

 

[nimrod]

huge win. Couldn't have asked for a better start!

 

[Jack Regan]

Amazing what seemingly competent management and coaching can achieve.

Jeff must be thinking now why the hell did he stick with GON for so long, hope he has had some self reflection at this moment anyhow.

 

[Jinky]

GET THE FUCK INNNNNNN

 

[White Wolf]

He's probably not a world-beater but even someone who has some semblance of ideas and qualifications has actually got us looking like a decent unit, utilising player's qualities and trying to cover for weaknesses. Hopefully Liverpool give Leicester a battering.

Happy Christmas!

Ipswich may have inadvertently contributed to their own downfall

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Enjoyed it. Nerves are natural when it's only 1-0 but they never had anything even close to a serious chance and never looked like they'd get one either.

More of the same from last week. Everyone pulling together, set up in a proper system with the CMs doing what they were signed to do and no ridiculous chaos. It's a simple game sometimes.

Cunha was simply magical. Enjoy him while you can.

Thought Rodrigo in his cameo looked assured again.

Take the dub!

On a similar note, every time Hwang scores, my ego grows three sizes.

 

[Wolftone]

Rode our luck after we scored. Great to get three points, should bring some more confidence.

 

[Squeak]

Solid disciplined performance. The team knows what it is doing once again.
Well done all. There is hope.

 

[Kenny]

Where did we find that number 2 of ours. Great performance...

So many positives. Only grumble for me was Toti in the final 25 mins.

Who knew how simple it was to defend a set play when the players stand where the manager tells them.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Rode our luck after we scored.

No we didn't. Our goalkeeper made no proper saves.

 

[Kenny]

Cunha was simply magical. Enjoy him while you can.

United will be sacking all non football staff so they can buy him

Both a solid performance from us and an abject one from them, which was nice. Their brief recovery period in the last ten minutes or so was more a lack of composure from a team that’s lost the habit of winning games, not anything they did really.

I think we’re going to be absolutely fine come the end of the season if these last two games are indicative of the worst case scenario under VP - although a lot will come down to what happens with Cunha’s ban. Such a quality, quality player, and IMO has a higher ceiling than Neto.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Cunha onto 10 goals so he joins the very select band of players to do that more than once for us in the Premier League. Just him, Raul and Steven Fletcher.
