Wolves (A) Post-Match Thread

He’s a good player but he’s a bit of a one trick pony.
We have Mahrez, Bernardo and Foden who occupy the space on the right wing. I think they are all more complete players.

Also, we don’t play with e centre forward, why would we we need a winger who gets to the bye line and puts high crosses in ?

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

I’ll need to see replays but he seemed to be marking space on both dangerous pullbacks and maybe could have done more on Jimenez header? I think it was him behind with Mendy in front?

Think it would be incredibly harsh to pin that goal on him.

A fair report but not having it with stones

i SO want him to succeed, there is a world class defender in there. But he lost his man on 4 occassions in 5 mins and a better team would punish us

over 10 H2 minutes he got done by two simple balls over the top...wasn’t even aware....need to move him on.

I certainly did.
 
Don't we look so much better with Dino back in there, it even tightened John Stones up

Ake looks like he's been playing for City a couple of seasons & Walker very good 90 mins

Kev fucking awsome

Now the negatives, very fortunate in 2nd half but thats City we never never make it easy

Left side was poor at times defencively but we got through it in the end

Still think we have problems at LB & CF if Aguero misses to many

Gabby runs like fuck but frustrstes the fuck out of me

Anyways class start we go again.on Wednesday

Ps

Micah what a fucking man, biased as fuvk & I love it
 
Firstly, most importantly, and overall, a very good result. Tough start that and to win 3-1 away from home was beyond expectations as was the quality and intensity we showed in the first half. The new look 4-2-3-1 with Rodri and Fernandinho made us look really solid.

However, the first 15 minutes of the second half did highlight our concerns before the game. Mendy was walked round a few times, failed to stop the crosses and unfortunately despite looking the part for the majority of the game (and there was a lot to like) Stones just switched off a few times allowing runners to get in behind me or people to run off him and get a free header in. As pointed out earlier these situations did occur when we had no pressure on the ball.

I am worried about the left-back position from a defensive perspective, especially when they may well be asked to defend 1-2-1 situations a fair bit. Neither Mendy or Zinchenko really inspire confidence.

However, excellent result, we weren’t going to be perfect for the 90 minutes, but we got through it. Plenty of decent performances, thought Foden was excellent and De Bruyne. Really happy with Ake too, he has the physicality of Otamendi but is far cooler and his distribution was faultless.

nothing to do with a midfield that quickly became knackered?

You cant rely on your midfield shielding you from all dangerous situations in full 90 minutes. When defense is exposed they need to step up a bit. I have no problems with stones..he was good today But Mendy should be not beaten 1v1 so easily..knock past and run = a good cross or chance for wolves
 
Technically, that was by far the highest quality game (both teams) of the season - and possibly even last season

I think Ake is going to develop in to a cracking player.

Calm,composed,and he times his tackles so well.

Some are criticizing Mendy for being skinned by the fastest Player in the League.

I will forgive him that.

The real problem for me with Mendy, is he is all over the show,his situational awareness is shocking.And i think he unsettles the defense.He is not a defender,never has been.The injuries robbed him of a yard of pace.

Do you mean Traora ? Thought it was Podence that beat him twice

Gabby was excellent tonight, never stopped running tonight and what I like about him he never hides.

And he got the shit kicked out of him.

Sure Wolves are a good side.

They are also a dirty side. leaving a little bit on with their challenges.They have also mastered tactical fouling,shirt pulling,and using their arms a lot to prevent movement.As always the Ref sees fuck all when it is against us.
