Wolves v Man.Utd Matchday Thread

[wolves71]

The games against Man.Utd last season proved Wolves on their day are a match for the so called big six. I think Nuno tonight will revert to his strongest eleven.

By my calculations, we have now gone in excess of 660 minutes of competitive football, with out an opposing player scoring against us this season. Lets hope we can continue this tonight. Looking forward to watching it on TV in Spain.

They should be really fired up to make amends for last season, this is going to be tough!

Here we go! Come on mi babies, I'll be more than happy to score zero points on the prediction league this week.

Rubbish first half really. Just sat back waiting for them to score, when we got possession it was either hoof it up the field or give it away. I don't buy into the " well Ok they have had all of the ball but we are controlling the game" theory at all.

Lucky point in the end but hell, we'll take it. If we can play that bad and not lose we must be doing something right. Neves probably had the worst game he's had in a Wolves shirt but after that goal who cares!

Personally I would have said, looking on TV only, mind; that Coady had a bad day at the office. A lot of his passes went astray, which is unusual for him. I know he was also deemed responsible for giving away the penalty and I know I'm biased, but my God I thought that was a SOFT penalty. Another one where the forward (in this case Pogba) dives at the defender's leg and then falls over.

I think your being hard on Connor, Solskjaer has got his players working hard they pressed all the space and stifled passing opportunities giving our back four no option but to hit speculative long balls, particularly first half. Nuno bringing on Traore changed the game, Shaw couldn't deal with him. I think that has to be his best performance in a Wolves shirt, great runs and a final product, if only Johnny had directed his header down and away from the keeper...

The Neves goal was sublime, the Moutinho pass to him the shift of feet and the drive right into the angle of the goal. Can't believe that he was unmarked twenty yards out, suicidal defending.

I have to agree about a soft penalty. Why oh why was V A R not called on. Watching on TV there was little or no contact by Cody on Pogba. Why spend two minutes looking at a possible offside for our goal, and not look at the penalty decision?

A draw was about right. We didn't get going first half. Man.Utd looked a different one to the side we faced last season, especially at Molineux. I thought they were quick out the blocks and never gave us any time on the ball first half, hence us often lumping it forward. The quickness in the goal took Wolves by surprise.

I wasn't expecting Traore on for the start of the second half, but his introduction helped change the game for Wolves. At least we played on the front foot. Bar West Ham away last season, i think this was a game, second half only, where he had an impact. He went at Shaw on numerous occasions and actually put a few decent crosses in.

I don't think either keeper had that much to do, De Gea's reaction save after Jiminez's header had hit the post, and Patricio's penalty save and the save in stoppage time. But going back to Neves' goal, as good as it was, it's just a pity we had to wait so long again for a VAR check. We celebrate and then there's the waiting.

Jon Moss isn't everyone's cup of tea, but air play to him in the way he dealt with Daniel Jame's theatricals.
