I'm still not massively convinced by this talk of us being really good defensively. We choke games with possession but we give away lots of chances considering how much of the play we have. Wolfsburg should really be 2 - 1 up.

Pundits seem to forget some of the worldy saves De Get has produced this season. We've also had a fair amount of luck, that schurrle miss being an example. Smalling has been supreme but I don't think we've looked settled at the back since Shaw got injured and LVG started playing a different pair of fullbacks every game, swapping and changing like action man accessories
 
If you consider how many players we have playing out of position our defence has been pretty good. I mean how many times have we started a right back at right back and a left back at left back this season?
 
He looks very low on confidence, the start of the season he looked far more willing to try things, now it just looks like he's terrified of making a mistake.
 
Atrocious defending again, just waltz through with 0 challenges.

Nice to see Fellaini jogging around the halfway line while they're attacking though.
 
This is what I don't get. They attack as a team and yet don't get caught out at the back. There is no excuse for our poorness in defence coupled with our lack of attacking flair.
 
They are just playing better football than us. They have a shape and it looks almost like they have a plan when they are moving up the pitch. Its mad.

Has Felliani done anything apart from block Matas shot on goal early in the half.
