Now That's More Like It

United 4-1 Wolves. The lads (and the fans) needed a lift after our mid-week exit from the Champions League, and a home stand against hapless-on-the-road Wolves proved to be just the ticket. United were thoroughly dominant from start to finish, keeping the lion's share of possession and creating wave after wave of good attacking football. Nani and Wayne Rooney both scored a goal in each half to finish with a brace apiece, and Antonio Valencia racked up 3 assists.
Not to say that our opposition was all that fierce. Wolves' marking was horrid, and they allowed the United attackers acres of space with which to create time and time again. Our wing play proved devastating for them, as Nani and Valencia found themselves speeding in and arond the box throughout the match. There may well have been several more goals in this match on a luckier day. Phil Jones, Danny Welbeck, and even Michael Carrick all had come very close chances go astray.
This was a good win, and much needed. Hopefully we can maintain this level of play and keep spirits and scorelines night and high. Trips to Queens Park Rangers and Fulham await the week before Christmas, followed by home stands against Wigan on Boxing Day, and Blackburn on New Year's Eve. United are well-poised to close out the year strong, and we truly need to take full points from every fixture, and not waste opportunities. Hopefully Chelsea can do us a favor and take some points off of City on Monday to help close the gap. Now's the time to step on the gas, lads. Don't fail me now.
