Wolves (A) Post-Match Thread

[cleavers]

Mendy did very well, considering he was up against one of the most dangerous players in the pre League, who wreaked considerably more damage against us last season than he did tonight. Maybe that was because Big Ben did his job?

I thought he was OK too, maybe not brilliant, but I thought he had a decent game, I only said FFS Mendy about 3 times, and that is a good measure :)

He doesn't get enough credit, in my opinion. Even accounting for his limitations in attacking positions, he more than makes up for it in all other aspects. A bargain for c£50m

When you play at top level every mistake is scrutinised. Walker gets flack that is unnecessary a lot of the time. You know how good a player is when it comes to replacing them and we will see just how good he was when we have to!

Exactly. He had Traore in his ass pocket up until he was unfairly booked.
Too many people on here looking for a scapegoat as usual.
Mendy had a good game tonight.

Mendy had a good game in that he didn't get sent off. Wolves hardly had the ball to attack in the first half. He's still a brain fart from turning a win into a loss. Mendy reminds me of Micah Richards at the end of his time at city. I'm afraid the injuries have just crippled him...

Hardly unusual.

It doesn't become less frustrating :)

Great first half. Poor second.
Liked the Square defensive formation.
But some problems remained.
- Mendy. Useless. Always on the wrong side of his opponent
- Wingers and KDB need to track back and get to the edge of the penalty are when an opposition wide player gets to the byline and pick up players arriving in the penalty area.
- if you play a more defensive formation, then we need to knock the ball down the channels more and NOT always pass it out to the flanks.

Asside from the penalty that a blind man could have given Marriner gave us nothing. Jesus and Foden got a right battering over 90 mins.

Great first half. Leggy second.

Overall better performance, and result, than I expected.

Yep. Liverpool were trash at times vs. Leeds. We looked more polished the first half but rust showed up 2nd half.
Mendy although he had an overall good game on a yellow vs. a pacy/ skilled winger towards the end of a game where we're nursing a one goal lead is a horror show. Cancelo not ideal but better... But if he's our number one LB our cover for Walker is shot.

He is an exceptional fullback, not only is he far better technically than people give him credit for but he’s athletically as good as any player of his generation. He literally will over power any player no matter who they are.. he is an absolute machine.

He’s top tier. And perfect for Peps system.

cant believe I spend so much time defending him to people. To me it’s obvious what he brings.

Spit on, in my opinion. If we had an equivalent player on the left in the last 4 years, we would have won even more trophies, in my opinion.

I would sign the chap from Wolves that starts with a P (Can't spell his name), looked really good.

Are you referring to the referee? Prick, I believe his name is...

 

[Prater70]

Fair enough.

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.
