Wolves (H) Post-Match Thread

I had the same injury as Laporte in 96. Within a couple of weeks the NHS physio at North Manchester General was putting my leg through the full routine of painful exercises. It feels like your knee's being ripped apart but meniscus injuries, although painful, heal surprisingly quickly. It's all about building up the confidence to play your usual game and trusting your knee to be as strong as before. I reckon Laporte will be back quicker than originally thought.

We’d have had Laporte and KDB. Would have been fine.

Totally agree. Wolves thought they'd beaten Watford and were running round wearing wrestling masks and came unstuck. Would have been tougher than Watford, but we'd have had too much for Wolves.
 
Battle fatigue is an actual condition. The team has been in battles for too long, which impedes the production of adrenaline which is a crucial element of high performance. The only cure is rest and recuperation; the production of adrenaline is involuntary, triggered by danger/stress, and is well-researched by various military bodies. The performance on Sunday was similar to the one when the coach was trashed, flat and slow, a result of post-trauma depression, another well understood syndrome....
In forum-speak....."they were all shit, lazy and couldn't be arsed" :)

another one of those where we didn't perform. Cant afford anymore but i suspect it could well happen again. Losing Laporte is a big problem, Vinny leaving and not replaced, stones out and the injury to De Bryne. Its meant players playing out of position and basically filling in. However, Otamendi at times plays like a Sunday morning player, they know at some point he is going to go to ground but unless pep puts trust in the youngsters who may or may not be ready what does pep do!

Liverpool have also been flat this season, but have had the benefit of a feeble shot going through a GK's legs and players diving for pens like fairies (and getting the pen). But for some inept finishing by their opponents, they'd also be on our points total. But they've had some luck, including with injuries, and we haven't. Unless Liverpool improve, they'll lose a few playing at their current level.

Drop the proven trophy winning internationals that Pep works with day in day out and play the kids.
Or just let the best manager we've ever had decide.

Not just the best coach we've ever had - arguably the best coach who ever took charge of a team anywhere.

Didn't I read somewhere that Pep's wife and one of his kids have returned to Barcelona. Perhaps it's having an effect on his Majesty? How else can you explain Silva & Gundog starting together? He appears to be losing his marbles.

She's in Spain to attend to business issues - not a case of having enough of our crap Manc weather. It's Klopp's wife that hates it in the North West.

What we lacked was a midfielder who could demand the ball and dictate the game.

This season it was KDB. Injured
last season it was Bernardo. perhaps Pep did not think he was right after the week he's had.

I was actually positive before the game because although I knew about the injuries, I thought that City under media siege would kill the opponent, but Pep opted to withdraw Bernardo. Perhaps he has been hurt more than we realised?

It is even more surorising then that if Pep decides that Bernardo is not going to start he leaves out Foden.

What we did was effectively leave Mahrez, Sterling and Aguero completely isolated.

I wonder if Pep is going to fundamentally alter his view of our midfield. He talks a lot about how good Foden is but in truth the player will and should be completely exasperated at the moment. He came on and scored against Dinamo. What more does he have to do?

Bernardo is a young highly articulate, intelligent and thoroughly decent young guy who will be feeling the toxicity of our media more than most would. Inescapable fact that all this will make him feel shit.
