The Official Manchester United Thread (Vol 8)

[200Plus Club]

This is why folk like OGS , he's not avoiding issues and yet not picking on or blaming individuals. Just an honest summary

I haven’t turned on OGS at all! I just pointed out that it was a terrible performance. I don’t think anyone disagrees with that. Terrible performances happen to the best sides and the best managers.

Nothing like the Arsenal game - we played largely OK in that game. We just looked tired.

The idea of selling Pogba makes me laugh. He’s our only world class player apart from De Gea, and his stats under OGS are mind-blowing.

[franki68]

We were just st from the moment the game kicked off.
Matic is past his sell by date I’m afraid ,although picking on one individual when so many were so poor is unfair .
The most concerning thing for me was how bad we were and how long it took ogs to react to that .
Realistically that was our only chance of a trophy so feeling very gutted today ,need some decent weather so I can go for a drive and blow the misery away.

Thinking about it, what is worrying is that you can shut the side down so well if you sit deep and put 2 men on Pogba. We run out of ideas when that happens.

I don't know why we didn't just try to get the ball to Shaw and Dalot high up the field and put in lots of crosses. Wolves would clear the vast majority, but it was a better idea than trying to walk through the defence.

[Black can man]

I think you missed the big man up front more than anything last night.

Is he injured ?

[bstb3]

Lukaku had a foot injury yes. He wont go on internationals so hopefully is back for the Watford game.

Its a scary thought but I think we missed young just as much, as when he and dalot play together we actually have a right flank.

[GTO-3R]

Every time Shaw got the ball he messed about with it and lost possession. The only time he did what he normally does, we scored and it was too late.

Whole team was poor last night.

[200Plus Club]

Showed up a lack of attacking talent. Midfield and upfront.
I for one am looking forward to the summer break and some new faces for OGS

I agree with this. I do really like Shaw - he has been excellent in recent months, but he was aimless last night.

[Carl_Manchester]

lack of talent up front when you drop two goals?

trying to outscore teams doesn’t work statistically if your lads at the back are leakier than a drunk politician.

I think to be honest he didn’t have much movement in front of him. We seemed very static, and Martial hugged the touch line which I don’t think did him any favours.

Generally we huffed and puffed and just seemed devoid of ideas.

70+ minutes on clock of barely a shot on goal. That's what our front pairing managed last night. Once wolves scored it was game over, totallack of penetration and guile, from our midfield and forwards. Too much reliance on poggy

[200Plus Club]

Very likely wolves v man city final after that draw.
What an upset that could turn into. Could be a very good final if it pans out that way.

[BMW A6]

Honourable Sirs, do you not find it troublesome that we are prognosticating scenarios whereby Citeh could fail in their quadruple quest?

I will jerk off to Cole and Yorke in the jacuzzi, to contemplate no further Citeh's possible silverware count this season.

[Frimley111R]

Realistically we're still building the team up and we can't expect not to have a few blips and crap performances, even the top 2 have been through this. As long as we come back from it it'll be ok although losing to Wolves was disappointing. Look at Chelski today as an example.

We're still right up there in the Prem, only a few points behind 3rd so not the end of the world.

[200Plus Club]

2 wins from 3rd place. Still achievable given the run in. Something to aim for after a disastrous first half of the season.
Barcelona match might well be a schooling but get behind the team regardless now till the end of the season and then going forward.

[so called]

I've felt gutted since Saturday.
OGS has raised my hopes to a level that would have been laughable earlier in the season.

We clearly are short in one or two areas and the funny thing is now that I feel more confident that we'll bring in some decent players this summer.

That's probably more than the players have ...strange lack of fight - almost as if they truly were as knackered as they looked, maybe.

Take points of Citeh to give LPool in a few weeks a better chance at the title - hmmmm ... conundrum.

[NailedOn]

ECL Quarter Final. I’ve entered the ballot for tickets for the home leg. Does anyone know when the results are made public please?
I am somewhat overbooked that week so the sooner I know if I’m going to OT, the better.

[GTO-3R]

Seems some of our players are "injured" and can't play internationals. More like Ole wants them to recover, rest and not risk any further injury so has stopped them from going! Good call imo

Rashford just needs to get in to Sancho's ear about coming to us in summer
