Was Lee Bradbury up front against that old man today, because it sure looked like it?

He's not been on it since the end of last year. Best striker on the planet and usually comes with the goals but when he doesn't score he can be completely non existent. I hope he builds consistency again soon.

I'm just going to say it... Pep refusing to sub him is pretty pathetic.
When Wolves got their second and put 11 behind the ball, it was blatantly obvious that it wasn't a game for him at that point.

Eh no when we need a goal he has to be there.I'm just going to say it... Pep refusing to sub him is pretty pathetic.

Craig Dawson is a wily old pro but he’s still Craig Dawson.
He got nothing from Craig Dawson and we got nothing from Craig Pawson.

23 years old, arguably the most talented player on the planet. Had a quiet few months by his insanely high standards, but still has been absolutely world-class. Quiet today, but it's not his fault. He absorbs a lot of defenders and creates the necessary space for others. Sadly, we couldn't take advantage of it today.
Only options by then were crosses. Who else would you prefer in the box?I'm just going to say it... Pep refusing to sub him is pretty pathetic.

Don’t think he’s anywhere near the most talented player on the planet. Physically yes but in terms of touch, technique, skill etc he’s miles off. Not slagging him off we’re incredibly lucky to have him but he has many things he’ll hopefully improve on.23 years old, arguably the most talented player on the planet.

He has had mostly iffy performances since at least the start of May, so 5 months now minimum since he really looked good, maybe 6 months. The incredible thing with Haaland is that even when he’s like that, he is still able to score a goal per game on average, but he doesn’t half look poor at the moment. Hard to drop an almost guaranteed 1 in 1 strike rate but he looks so disconnected from the rest of the team it really is like playing with a man less at times. Very weird paradox with him. Practically guarantees goals yet he looks awful right now.
I agree here. He is already incredible, but he can still improve a lot. He has a crazy high ceiling. I get your point, though. His "footballing" skills can be improved upon, for sure.Don’t think he’s anywhere near the most talented player on the planet.

I don’t blame him for today. Service for him was near nada.

I think we should have play Foden as the false 9 like the old days. This match called for some extra bodies to break down wolves back 5 and I think if we had him playing there then it could’ve helped in dragging the wolves CB’s around and disrupt wolves’ shape.Yep,and thats why he should have been hooked instead of others.He was pointless today.
Wasn’t the match for a striker like Haaland today.
