[Albion] Premier League 11-14/8/23

They’re looking very good.
Or is it that Man Utd are totally disjointed

They look good. Energetic, organised, well drilled. Surprising as Gary O’Neil (spelling?) has only been there about a week.

 

[Javeaseagull]

Loving that Dave Jones keeps mentioning that the last team to win at Old Trafford was Brighton! As the half finished he said something like, it's better than last year, they were two down then! Love the guy!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

They have given the ball back to Man U about 4 or 5 times at the back, do not look comfortable being pressed.

Both things can be true.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

How did that not go in?

 

[Easy 10]

I used to watch these games hoping for the 'big team' to stuff the bottom-feeders out of sight. Now I'm back to rooting for a shock.

 

[Machiavelli]

How did that not go in?

Poor finishing. Which they excel at.

As others have said, I'm stunned by this Wolves performance: really intense. They've also got that 6'7 forward who's just returned from injury. Cunha looks the business.

 

[Algernon]

Momentum halted.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Boo

 

[Dick Head]

Undeserved.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Oh well.

 

[Reddleman]

I’m now very much not looking forward to Saturday. If ever we will be made to pay for not have a Caicedo type midfielder it’s in a game where they seem to want to charge forward at pace on the break time and time again.

Would take a point now.

 

[Algernon]

Can we buy Cunha by Saturday?

 

[Dick Head]

Can we buy Cunha by Saturday?

We've got enough money.

 

[Gabbiano]

Cunha looks excellent. Shocked that Sa is still in goal for Wolves, probably the worst goalkeeper still going in the PL.

Great build-up play, controlling the match, but completely unable to score. Its us 2 seasons ago.

It will be more difficult without Caicedo and Mac, and they'll be up for it after last year's 6-0, but I think we will have enough in attack to get the better of them.

 

[Silverhatch]

United are shit. Wolves playing like us season 1 & 2 under Potter

I seem to remember a comment like '5-0 down to Brighton - then they bring on their first team'. Neither Caicedo nor MacAllister came on until the 65th minute.

Neither Caicedo or Mac Allister started the 6-0 win over Wolves.

 

[Change at Barnham]

I'm glad we've had a chance to look at Wolves rather than play them in our opening game.
The look very strong, fast on the break and powerful. I'm not feeling as confident as I was before tonight.

Onana nowhere near the ball there…..how’s that not a penalty ?
