Wolves (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

An awful game, as it usually is against this lot, which was petering out to a hugely disappointing draw, until our last gasp winner. We are second in the table and still unbeaten without playing well yet. I'm not sure if this is a good sign or a bit worrying.
We are too easy to get at and score against at the moment. I know Rodri is a big miss so Pep is maybe going to have to adjust how we play. Tweak the high line and be a bit more solid. Gundogan's form since his return is a bit worrying, hopefully Kev getting back will improve our midfield.
Erling was totally anonymous and our two wingers just don't create and score enough.
Anyway onwards and upwards, hopefully Pep comes up with a solution for Rodri's absence. We certainly have to tighten up quite a bit.

I’ve never been to Wolves and seen a decent game of football

Took the train back to Stockport and was stood on the platform next to a wolves fan. +/- 50 years old, well spoken, not drunk and he was phoning his wife. He said he’d had enough, wanted to be relegated and back to a league that competes fairly, and isn’t corrupt with teams like City buying off the officials [emoji15] …. I nearly spluttered up my drink laughing [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

It’s City’s fault of course for their previous 7 games

You simply cannot beat a last gasp winner. Magical scenes at the end and I've been buzzing from it ever since. We even got to experience it twice over thanks to var. However, the 90 minutes of shite preceeding it was not worth it. That should have been a no thrills 3 goal win.

If anybody is still questioning whether we've got some major issues, they need to take the blinkers off. The signs have been there for numerous games now and it's going to bite us hard in the arse unless rectified.

Bottom of the league and we score from our left back producing a worldie and a centre back from a corner. Only other notable chances we had the entire game were a couple of efforts from around the edge of the box. Think the keeper made one great save and a couple of standard saves and that was the entire extent of gis work despite us camping in their final third for practically the whole game. Thats just not good enough, we create so little right now and it should be a major concern. We spend so long going absolutely nowhere, soon as it hit 90 minutes today, We spent the entire first 2 minutes of injury time going sideways only to gladly settle for a corner that we could easily have got 90 seconds prior. Pep has got to find some penetration and a way of supplying Haaland. This idea that every team just sits in against us and its especially hard for us is bollocks im afraid, they do that because we are so pedestrian with the ball and offer no threat in behind. we purposefully turn the game into that, we never attack quickly and directly, we always wait until they've set and that's why we cannot create anything.

We're also pathetically wide open to any counter when we lose possession even against sides without notable pace, the amount of times I saw players not even bothering to get back in after we lost it today was ridiculous, no individual blame, was a collective thing they're all guilty of. It's no surprise we routinely concede on transition from few chances, the shape is just asking for that to happen every time we lose the ball and we're clearly getting no benefit from throwing so many ahead of the ball either.

pep has to change our approach because this isn't a one off shit performance it's a pattern.

absolutely spot on. Signs were there last season, it's properly come home to roost this season.

Yes, thought he’d improved that side of his game early in the season with his performance at Chelsea. His size and physicality is going to go against him in some games

He’s a bit of a puzzle as he’s brilliant at times on the ball but not sure where best to play him

Honestly, that was a turgid watch. Gundogun is really struggling and he in the same midfield as Kovacic is painful to watch.
If we persist with playing in this style, no way will we win 5 in a row.
It’s not at all pretty to watch at the moment. Normally, it’s because of the way the opponents play but currently it’s our play that is slow, lethargic and lacks any urgency at all. If these are the tactics, it’s disappointing.
When we get a chance to break, we slow it down and wait for the opposition to get back in shape.
Would think Haaland is very frustrated at the moment. He desperately needs Kev or Phil to start playing those through balls that he thrives on.
Relieved to get the win, but we won’t get out of jail too many times playing like that.

We've got KDB to come back, Walker to get up to speed, Phil, full fitness, Bobb back in the New Year and possibly a signing brought forward to January.

I personally don't think we'll win it this year but we're not that entitled are we. The lads have done us proud so far with a very weakened squad but I trust the Management and players to keep us competitive, loved the winner today but no complaints from me if we had come away with a point.

Lewis along with Stones should have done better for the goal today. Lewis should have also done better for the goal against Ipswich...

Having said that I can think of numerous occasions in games this season in which he's done incredible defensive work, It's not an easy role he's asked to play as he spends most of his time in midfield.

He's far from a "poor defender" in my opinion, The lad will only get better defensively as time goes on, He doesn't get enough credit for his one v one defensive work either, He might be small be he's a tough lad. Rico will be our right back for many years to come and deservedly so.
 
I'm sure this will open up a debate, but a thought on us being counted against........ why do we try to play the offside trap?

It very rarely works, and we are immediately 5+ yards behind the attacking line.

Don't understand why we just don't just get goal side , even when looking across the line, and just make it difficult.

We are very guilty of just stopping trying to play offside, rather than just going with the man....
And ending up giving goals away.

Should have said a bit lightweight …….
 
Been to Wolves loads of times but for the first time ever today we had a wander round the city centre afterwards to get food and allow the traffic to die down

Never again!!! What a depressing, deserted shit hole. Its just like a big Oldham town centre
