I mean it was never a penalty for Chelsea and another poor VAR. But in one breath he says "the games being ruined" and then when the handball gets given, he's crying that it has to be reviewed. Which one is it Pearce? Do u want var or not??

Have no doubt we could do that back end of the season if our squad is healthy and if our schedule has eased slightly. Just hope it's not too little too late. Abit like when Liverpool did it last season chasing us down but we built up too much of a head start earlier in the season.

Of those that are due back soon, in no particular order: Botman Willock Longstaff Wilson Barnes You could argue, these 5, rank highest on priority and importance to get back anyways. So would be massive to get some or all of those back by January. Perhaps Murphy would be up there too in terms of allowing us to rotate Miggy, but Barnes will help give us that rotation ability in wide areas.

Was a shocking decision. Only thing I could think of was if Grealish had been miles offside but he was clearly on. Either corrupt reffing or complete brain malfunction. Just made zero sense for him to blow when he did.

All these points add up. I know it's early but could really do with the likes of Spurs and Villa not picking up late draws etc. Beat Everton and it's not too bad, but it's always going to feel like we can't afford to drop points all season because we're in a 7/8 team race for that 4th/5th. Which leads to things like that idiot having a go at Trippier at Bournemouth when we inevitably lose the odd game.

Bit worried Villa are gonna beat these midweek. After scrapping a late draw today aswell. Could really do with them dropping more points if we are to challenge them for that 4th or 5th.

He was definitely an attacking player in his younger years before turning pro surely? ? So comfortable on the ball in attacking third. His performance was top notch, but was actually surprised he didn't ping one in the top corner tonight. Considering how good his shots often are. Had quite a few nice opportunities he made for himself but the composure was lacking.

In the build up to this game I'd been hoping that Mainoo was gonna start. There had been abit of over hype it seemed and no ill will to the lad at all, but I knew our Brazilians would bully their midfield. And so it proved and was always going to be key to winning this game. Always had faith Miley was gonna outshine him aswell.

Really impressive. Doesn't look out of place at all and given his age that is a big deal. Those highlights above showcase the growing confidence the team have in him aswell and not afraid to give him the ball. That little reverse round the corner link up with Isak late on. Looked a damn sight more athletic today aswell, seems to eat up ground well with that long stride.

Thought Pope was better with his kicking today. Combined with his prowess in shot stopping he will be a big miss.

Defo got Ten Hag's number now. That's 3 in a row. Shame the cup final came before that, when we were in a rough patch of form, but since then he has totally bossed his opposite number

That was fantastic. All it was lacking was abit more composure in final passes or shots. Should have been a comfortable 3 or 4 nil. But of course it got slightly nervous towards the end once we inevitably tired. Thought we would run out of steam a lot sooner to be fair. But we bossed that midfield all game. Only ones with any credit for Man U were Shaw and Maguire. Would have been absolute robbery if they had got something from the game.

Superb yet again (every single game he's played so far) Really starting to show his attacking ability as well. That acceleration he has is massive for our team and especially our back line. Allows the others to push up and let him mop up.

You scored 3 goals with 3 shots on goal or something against Everton. You win games despite not playing well according to most.

As usual with Man U, they have pace on the counter and are usually quite clinical. So if we play smart and restrict their ability to counterattack then I think our midfield dominates them. However all depends on how well the players have recovered from Tuesday and can play with energy.

Was fantastic don't remember a single error by him. Schar on the other hand was uncharacteristically making a lot of strange decisions and passes.

Yeah 8 mins was fucking bullshit. Ok we took our time with goal kicks etc like any away team in Europe. So maybe 5 mins would be fair but 8? When we made zero subs, no long injury delays and no long VAR checks. You just knew there was gonna be some fuckery once we got into the last few mins.

Superb again. Never seem to doubt he's gonna get a toe on the ball or body Infront of player. His little bursts of acceleration tonight aswell were really promising. Showed he has a lot more to give from an attacking perspective, but defensively was flawless again. Didn't deserve to be on the receiving end of such a rank decision.

I think just having any subs to bring on to help see games out would be a positive right now. I don't forsee any returns in the immediate bar maybe Longstaff but they haven't revealed how bad his injury truly is yet. Fingers crossed we could do with his energy for Man Utd ?

Sods law there are 8 fucking fixtures in December, more than any other month in the season, when we are at breaking point with injuries with no relief in sight. I dunno how we are gonna do it but if we can somehow hang in there... The 2nd half of the season if we get our squad back together is gonna be fruitful.

Man U (h) Everton (a) Spurs (a) Milan (h) All in next 11 days or so with the exact same squad? Fuck man this is gonna be mega tough. To get any results and avoid further injuries will be a miracle.

Yeah saw the graphic after the game tonight. Needing to play this, then Everton away, followed by spurs away before the big Milan game. Likely with the exact same 11 needed for all 4? Would take some kind of miracle to get results and avoid more injuries.

boys looked knackered there. Dunno how long they ate gonna be able to keep this up. Isak looks shattered after bout 15mins. Great from the lads though, so proud. If we can just avoid letting them get running at us and keep the ball alittle better to relief the pressure.

Those decisions are soft as shite. Wolves must think there is a conspiracy against them this season. It's been more or less every game for them.
