VIEW: United vs Wolves. 3-2

Good.

The second half. I can't remember the last time I saw a first half of football so bad, followed by a second half so good. 5 goals in 34 minutes resulted in a bonerific game of catch-up by the away side...until you know who settled things late on for the second game running. I suppose, given their intensified effort levels, Wolves were unlucky not to earn the reply, but really we dominated and played by the far the most threatening attacking football.

Smalling. The boy's growing in confidence and stature. With Rio's role at the club not nearly as pivotal as it once was (some suggest that off-field distractions are to blame. And by some, I mean me), what we need is quality and consistency at the back. He was paired alongside fellow young'un Evans (weird to consider him still a youngster given his experience) and in doing so, maybe we saw the appearance of a United central defensive partnership for the future. Replace yesterday's right-back, Brown, with the Da Silva that was on the bench (...I get confused myself!), and I reckon that sort of talent and potential could take us through a good many season to come.

Bebe. Did anyone else think he was effing quality last night? With Obertan and Macheda also on the pitch - both of whom possess the youth of Bebe however with heightened levels of experience - he completely stole the limelight and created the majority of our best chances. Great work for the opening goal, even if he didn't quite mean the finish.

Chico time! = 80minutes+. Another peach of a late winner by little pea. I think this boy really can be something special.

Bad.

Last night's attendance... 46,083. Ouch.
