40 something man in his jin jams in the spare room breaking his IKEA light for subs on a streaming video platform over a game of football. Anyone feel like we took a wrong turn somewhere?

It’s like watching old TV programmes like Some Mothers do Ave em or Baldrick.……… and then you must realise it’s all an act. He’s created a character that seems to attract idiots in terms of clicks ….. so he continues & goes even more overboard for “his show”

ITS NOT REAL!!!!

This hiding behind injuries as an excuse, surely this is another example of how poor their footballing operation is. What they do in training must be contributing towards it and how bad their sports science department is monitoring fitness levels when injuries potentially can occur. Then you look at how poor their squad is, they barely have 11 players to out a half decent side due to the amount of flops they buy. They can’t rotate and keep players at peak performance, they are flogging a core group of players.

All in all my analysis is they are shite from the tea lady all the way through to the deluded fuck picking the team each game.

He said in his post match interview they had discussed tactics, especially the midfield holding but for some me reason they didn't stick to them on the field.

I'd love to know how many are actual injuries and which are faked. They can't all go on loan to Dortmund.
I'd go with Rashford, Martial (no great revelation) and Varanne, as definitely.

No one ever seems to mention this. Big teams always seem to have more injuries when the chips are down. Watch for a sudden recovery of many for a cup final in 3 weeks.
Contrast that to our title run in a few years back. Laport probably cost himself his City career by affectively playing on one leg.
Rodri & Bernardo would play with broken legs if possible. De Bruyne cost himself 6 months by trying to soldier on. Haaland playing with a stress fracture.

Ederson played 4 days having had 19 stitches in his face.

Injuries do happen. But I wouldn’t mind betting half the injuries at the swamp wouldn’t stop our players playing. Fernandes is a whopper, but to be fair to him, he’s flogged his guts out for them.

They've looked just as clueless all season though.

Even from the first game of the season, Wolves could waltz right through their midfield and they haven't improved since. They get away with it sometimes, last night they got punished. That's why they're 8th.

The players may not have stuck to the instructions last night, but last night wasn't some anomaly was it? They've looked like that all season, regardless of results. That's on the manager.
 
I hope talksport have the Samaritans number at hand for their callers.

One just called for Martin O’Neill to take the helm.

Ffs.

Yes and no. If they discuss tactics and what to do but then don't carry them out as instructed that's on the players. Tent Peg can't go on the field and play, although looking at last night he couldn't do much worse.

But wouldn't a good manager find a way to drill something into them? It's nearly the end of the season, he has had time. How do we know they're just not poor instructions, rather than it being a case of the players not following them? That's only his words.

Look at the turnaround from Gerrard to Emery at Villa. I'm sure Gerrard would tell you he was giving them instructions and they weren't carrying them out, because he isn't going to say he was giving poor instructions is he? - yet a good manager clearly got the same players to follow instructions no bother.

Of course players should take some blame. Decent players should at least be able to organise themselves on a pitch. I just think when it's going on for months and months, it's mostly poor coaching, instructions and management.

Good managers find a way to get them following instructions, regardless of if they're good or bad instructions.

Could be an upgrade until the end of the season

Brolly winning a cup with boro and getting them into Europe a few times and UEFA cup final is pound for pound much better than what Tent Peg has done in English football.

Mind you that was about 3 decades ago.

I bet he couldn't do any worse in their remaining few games though.
