Match Thread | Wolves vs Manchester City (25/08/18)

4-5-1 just soaking it up and playing counter attack on our mistakes.
Hold tight. Stop mistakes. Walker and Mendy need to get in the game, Gundogan warm the bench, energy needed from Leroy.

Credit to Wolves - battling hard.
Komps. will not be subbed........unless he is given choice of mystery knock.
Stones would be good - as sub.
Can see Mahrez coming on.

As is often usual, we can’t convert our chances. Sometimes the simple pass isn’t taken or the first time shot.
Tbf Wolves are going at 200mph. Keep it steady and we will come through it. No more sloppy passes. Make them chase the ball. THEY are the home team!!!!

Crikey Joleon I thought you weren't wearing trousers for a moment

Yep. Quickly followed by Mendy if he keeps it up.

The set-up looks unbalanced just because Silva is withdrawn out of the middle.

Sterling probably our best candidate for something.

Gundogan is soft as well as ineffectual.

Funny how different people see different things. I think Gundogan has done ok - in fact he's the only midfielder who's got into their box and his passing is good. David is playing facing his goal and opting for the easy option too many times. I agree with most about Vinny - this is not a game for him - Too much pace and not a big target man to handle. Good game though and we are unlucky not to be in front. To be fair how many saves has Ederson made - offside goal aside, none! Credit Wolves work rate, they will tire.

Gundog needs to either up his pace and movement or come off. We are getting caught out too often.
I’ll take a draw now, this is their marker for the league. They can’t keep this up all season.
Some shocking tackles being allowed to go too.

Take a draw why ffs? It's 0-0 we've dominated, We're the best in the league I'd still expect us to win if we were 2 down.

Some people.

 

[mccity]

We're creating chances btw, if we're not scoring it's close to the best we can do.

 

[km09]

This is exactly like playing the dippers except if this was them wed be 3-0 down

 

[carlosthejackal]

If we don’t shape up we will lose , sloppy passing , a lack of desire, all of a sudden we are hitting long passes which are 50/50 balls , walker and Mendy being pushed back , VK giving the ball away . Need some Pep magic at half time

I am not sure why is every on Gundo's back, unless he became 'new Dzeko', somebody to slap around when result does not go our way. He was more than solid, he intercepted three passes at least. Letdowns are our finishing, Kompany's passing and Fern's poor physical condition. Still expect to win this with what we shown in the first half.
