Manchester United 0 v Wolves 1. Yep, yet another dreadful display of so called football from some (most) of our United players last night. Time and time and time again we turn up to watch players that look lethargic and dis-interested from the first whistle. Then their first touch and passing is beyond woeful. This cannot keep happening.
That first half yesterday had nothing to do with not understanding and learning new tactics, because it was just basic error after error from individual players. Wolves created chance after chance because we had no urgency, our first or second touches were bad, misplaced passes and no desire to win the ball back once we’d lost it.
In the second-half we improved, but Wolves got everything they deserved.
Rightfully, Phil Jones is getting lots of praise for his performance as he was clearly our best player. Was he outstanding? I wouldn’t go that far at all, but you know what, he did the basics and he did his job. That’s all we ask for. He won his challenges, he won headers, he marked his man, controlled the ball, made blocks, looked interested and most importantly made simple accurate passes to his team mates. And that’s after not playing for us for nearly two years. Well played David De Gea too.
The fact that Jones is still at the club (nothing against him) sums everything up about United at the moment and what’s gone on in the past with regards to ridiculous contracts for so many players.
Anyway, enjoy Phil’s podcast below :
