Good performance considering it was a team that had barely played together before with not many pre-season games and everyones’ match legs not being there yet - which you could tell second half as we looked a bit tired out of possession.
Wolves played into our hands a bit by being open and trying to play football and attack, which meant we had more of an open field to play in. But pretty much everyone played well for us.
Trafford looks very classy and calm. Came for crosses, made a few decent saves and distributed the ball excellently - that pass for our third goal was inch perfect medium length to Reijnders to set up the attack was Ederson quality.
Stones was excellent, especially his block then playing their lad offside within about ten seconds of each other in the first half when Wolves were on top. If only he’d been available for more games across his decade with us, he’d go down as an all-time great centre back.
Doku struggled a bit but credit to their full back who played well against him. But Lewis, Dias, Nico, Ait-Nouri, Bernardo, Haaland and Bobb all good… then Reijnders was top class!
Good start, will be much more difficult next week though.
