Every season under pep we have 2/3 games like this! Anyway still top 31 games to go!

A proper smash and grab, they did fuck all but be aggresive and time waste.

we were no terrible, but showed a soft underbelly and lack of strength

However Kovacic and foden were piss weak and bullied all game, unless he asked taking nunes off was a poor decision that only made us look weaker

Doku, great on the ball but he needs to support his fullback when out of possesion the first goal wouldn't happen if he tracked back.

Finally our fans haave forgotten we don't always win, some right moany fuckers stood round me

A lot of people digging out Ake but is there seriously no recognition of how he is supported by Jack when they're on the pitch together? They play well together, with Jack often popping up to help out Ake, and today that didn't happen. Jack gets far too little appreciation for what he does defensively.

Lack of urgency, even more frustrating when we're needing a goal. Play like that, and even with Rodri in the team, we would struggle

Not sure where the goals are going to come from at present, but I'm sure Pep can fix it

 

[Craig]

You mean like happens to Grealish every single game?

To be fair he usually waits for them

It wasn’t a fluke that we were hopelessly exposed on the left every time the ball broke in midfield… Ake needed cover and the continuance of giving it to Doku to run at the defender (who had an excellent game) and lose possession to invite those attacks on was madness

Unfortunately Pep got it very wrong today

Yet if a couple of our attempts had gone in and they hadn't fluked theirs the tone on here would have been completely different.
Very few goals are "worldies" , many are more luck than judgement, that's how the game is. All this is, is the same old embarrassing garbage that comes out every time we lose a match.

Maybe so for the goals there was nothing any winger could have done to help. Foden certainly could have helped on the first but fair play to Neto he had Ake on toast and that’s very unusual

That is a good point.....he is good as a team player.

Right. I'm still pissed off at that no-show today. But we're still top. Dust ourselves down, and go again. Keep the faith chaps and chapesses.

We have very few clear cut chances today - credit to Wolves they setup exceedingly well and defended superbly

When you concede two goals from near identical circumstances that is not a fluke. Pep’s human - he got it wrong today - no drama
