Wolves (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

Just been reminded of a moment that annoyed me today

The chance wolves had to make it 2-0 in the first half that Ederson and Gvardiol scrambled out for a corner, that move starts by Savinho allowing wolves to pass the ball out from the corner flag instead of making a simple block.

Never seen that before and hopefully wont again
 
We fanny about for a reason. It’s not a great watch but if you’re up against a low block that includes all 11 players behind the ball you aren’t going to be able to play fast paced football.
I’m amazed people don’t understand this.
Bizzare how some can't see this. So many games have been won by us keeping the ball alive. One loose shot surrenders possession to the opposition and bang, the game's gone.
Luckily for us, Pep's all over it.
 
Can I be a bit critical despite being delighted in getting all three points?

We were playing really well in the first half, so Pep decided Doku and Savinho needed to switch sides. For what? They both play far worse on their shooting foot sides. What on earth is Gundo/Kovacic giving us that McAtee/Nunes are incapable of? Why is Haaland above being substituted? He was a complete net negative and looked utterly uninterested. Teams have been cutting through our midfield and getting at our backline at ease all season. Poor recruitment and the loss of Bobb and Rodri make me think this is going to be a long, frustrating season. I hope I’m wrong.
You're comments on Haaland are beyond bizarre. Is that really your take or have you hooked me in?
 
Given how shit we have played at times this season, and the fact that we are currently a “1 shot, 1 goal” defence, it is amazing we are in 2nd place, by 1 pt and a few goals!

Doesn’t feel like anyone is clicking (yet) this season, and we have lost our best player (yeah, I said it!) for the season and our assists talisman has been injured for awhile, so we should improve soon as injured players recover and out of form players (yes, I’m looking at you Gundo & Phil) gain some form!
 
I like the way Pep is nursing Foden and Stones into this season. Kevs had another month off after barely kicking a ball. Nathan and Oscar have been absent through injury. McAtee tearing it up in tge U21s. All 6 now ready to come back in and wind up through to the start of the new year giving us different options. Every other teams first 11 will be blowing up and we should be fresh and good to go. I think that's the plan anyway.
 
I feel like we are carrying Gundo it needs saying not seen him do anything since hes come back and hes getting full 90 mins
 
I think the only way we can win the league this season is being solid at the back and stealing wins. We look vulnerable. I’d love to see Nunes have a run of games. Maybe he can bring a bit of energy we lack
 
Hopefully Kev is back this week. Badly Missing his creativity. I know he’s not been great so far (compared to his usual performances), but he does give us drive, and keeps us on the front foot.
