VARAAAAAAANE
Football’s back boysssss, come on United!
Hoping Garnacho's decision making improves, he has held the ball too long a few times now.
Yeah, bit frustrating so far
Looking forward to see Højlund starting for us so we can see Rashford in his best position. It's such a waste having Rashy playing as a nr.9. Love Garnacho tho
100% He’s come in from the left twice and created 2 chances
We've bought players, sold players, and have had a reasonable summer and pre season, yet I feel like I'm watching the same team that was labouring through the last third of last season.
We seem a little static while Onana has the ball, giving him very few options to play out
Not gaining any meaningful progress from it. Hopefully this will be fluid throughout the season
Ten hag walking like he's going to lay down the law in the dressing room. I suspect we will wake up second half, and we need to honestly.
Think we need to see some changes soon, think Eriksen would do a decent job. Get Rashford on the left too
Yeah. Sancho as nr9 instead of Rashy would be interesting. Thought he looked alright there in preseason
Good call on the subs. They've definitely changed up the game since coming on, especially Sancho imo
Onana isn’t bad is he?
Looked good tonight. I think he will show his worth better for the time to come.
Come on lads!
Not the best half of football I've ever seen. Decision making in the final third needs to improve, but Wolves seem like they're just everywhere
Sancho looks great, physical fighting for the ball, hopefully it's not the sub effect like with Garnacho
Been struggling this game. Looking really exposed on wolves counters. Haven't been dealing with their pacey carriers well
Boys gotta wake up!
uff, shaw
Fuck yes!!!! Great ball from Wan Bassaka with numbers in the box
Ten Hag clearly being cautious over Lisandro's yellow
Slow start, but our press has worked well so far. We’ve caught them in a dangerous area a few times now
No Heart Attack FC plz. Not from game 1!
Uhhhh is Licha ok?
He was 1 or 2 fouls away from a second yellow is probably the thinking I reckon
We might've just gotten away with that one... Could've easily been a penalty
Yeah reckon if the ref gave it originally it wouldn't have been overturned
No half measures from Martinez
That was more of a Rojo tackle. They don't fuck around in Argentina
Has the rule for subs changed?
I thought it was 5 subs, 3 sub opportunities. We subbed at HT, then Sancho and Eriksen, then Facundo... And now Rashford?
The half time sub doesn’t count for the three
Cheers!
HT doesn't count towards the 3 times IIRC
Christ rashford had been poor, so off the pace.
We keep playing long balls but kept loosing the ball in their half due to a height disadvantage
Guess I'll comment from my alt while lemmy.world is down again. I said I'd take a cagey 1-0 win against Wolves, it's definitely been cagey so far
Yeesh we got away with that one
antony, what the fuck was that, 3m pass not executed.
I missed that. Why was Martinez taken off?
Already booked and looked possible to get another.
Feels like we were very lucky there. If it wasn’t for Wolves poor finishing, this could have been very different. But a win is a win, I’ll take it, but we really need to improve from here
Twitchy bum time
Onana channeling his inner Bailley there ffs.
