I never understand why when a team like Wolves try and play a high press why doesn't United just play it long and do them on pace.

This is what City has with Haaland. They can do both so you are buggered either way.

 

[Robbo]

Slowly improving.

Need to draw Wolves out a bit, our front 3 are very quick.

These commentators never watched Utd before? Typical slow and scrappy start continuing from last season

Probably because Utd are dire.

There’s loads of space in midfield but there aren’t doing anything

Wolves have looked decent so far. Typical Martinez

 

[Robbo]

Stupid tackle from Martinez, what was the point

He's only got one gear and I'm okay with that. He's generally not a red risk either.

 

[Calpol]

I have a growing concern that Casemiro might get exposed in this formation. He's great with time on the ball but I'm not sure he has the legs for the this league. I might be completely wide of the mark but I'd be a lot happier if we sign another defensive midfielder.

 

[JamesH85]

Wolves really need to take their chances like that, not sure how many they will get.

2 things there, early booking for Martinez is dangerous and I think you have a good point about casemiro.

 

[Robbo]

Not sure what it is, but something isn't working. Wolves are finding it way too easy to defend, and we look a bit dodgy when they counter.

 

[adam cool dude]

Still same problem of not having a striker like last season.

 

[Converge]

Definitely seem to get flustered at any point where we’re on goal. It’s quite frustrating. So sluggish too.

It could be simply that Wolves are a good team this season.

Everyone was the same when we got battered by Brighton and Brentford but they both had purple seasons.

Onana is playing far too deep. Get him on the half way line!

 

[Stu999]

I didn’t realise Mount was playing until that “tackle”.

 

[Raymond Lin]

I don't think Rashfords has touched the ball yet and it's been 30mins.

 

[nemtizz]

How's baldy not seeing that clear foul

 

[fez]

We're looking light in midfield because its mainly just Casemiro in there and then we have 5 forwards.

 

[Stu999]

I don't think Rashfords has touched the ball yet and it's been 30mins.

He’s had 4 touches according to the on screen stats

 

[JamesH85]

Wolves look dangerous.
