I think NES expected us to fold physically second half, so decided to sit in , and keep it tight and hit us on the break. He didn't expect to be 0-2 down at half time - difficult to turn it around once you've laid out your tactics first half. He needed half time to change it.
City were imperious first half - could have been 3 or 4 to the good.
Second half they upped the tempo having had two more games to prepare, and that showed. But we dug in and got the result. Good showing by all involved.

You could say "massive"!
Who wouldn't?!
Liverpool have a striker who I'm pretty certain is allergic to goalscoring and they're the best team in history (tm). We have our own version who actually scores!

Great 1st half, and lucky 2nd half.
Somehow Wolves created so many clear chances in the 2nd half in-spite of having two DMs ( Rodri & Fernandinho ) !
Our best 3 this game were KDB, Walker & Foden.

Fern,Walker,Ake superb,annoyed that Wolves only attacking player Traore,nothing on the left because Walker is Walker,but the lack of backup for Mendy one on one was poor.Pleased at the result,beforehand I would have been well chuffed with a draw.Great start to a new season,plus the new record.

You missed out Johnny Hancocks (who was at school with my Dad), Jimmy Mullen, Eddie Clamp, Eddie Stuart, Major Frank Buckley, Barry Stobart (remember him?), Bert Williams, John Richards, etc.

That is a VERY GOOD win, fully deserved, and we managed it well once wolves got their goal for me.

They're not mugs, and they'll be as delighted as the rest of us.
I don't bet, but I didn't fancy us either, especially as we've had less than 2 weeks training, and wolves had already played and won.

Isn't that what rooney demanded that time he had the rags over a barrel? An extra 100 gran a week.
I can see ake playing at LB in games where pep wants us to be more solid based on that performance. Still think we need that additional CB as stones just seems to have lost his way.
if beingpicky we did drift a bit at 2-0 in second half and would have preferred a bit more of a push to continue for a 3rd. However, it was the first game and it was a very good performance.
Jesus, foden, de bruyne all excellent.
It Would be nice if Fernandinho is back in midfield permanently.

Wasn’t expecting such a good performance, great start to the season and another record; only team to win 10 opening games in a row.
Asked De Bruyne “With Liverpool winning their first 2 games do you feel the pressure to win to stop them from running away with it like they did last season?”
