Wolves (H) Post Match Thread

Strange performance.

Brilliant for 75 minutes, with 15 mins sandwiched in the middle where we looked like we’d been shot with ketamine darts from Steve Irwin from the sidelines.

In the end our dominance deserved a 4-1 though.

Mahrez was good again.
 
The win is all that matters. Good to see we can rally and step it up from a minor setback when needed, we've not had to do that for a while but the 3 late goals shows how we could have won this in the first half had we played at a slightly higher tempo. Now bury the rags and seal the title in style.
 
This was as important a game as we have had in a while, worth 5 easy 2-0 wins.

We've been coasting for a while now, playing at 75%, knowing we have 21 games left in the season if we are successful. Pep's been making a ton of changes, we're bringing people back from injury etc. conserving energy as we play every 3 days.

So to be able to go immediately from treading water to that all out assault on Wolves for 20 minutes, not stopping at 2-1, or 3-1 was amazing. We could have scored 4 or 5 more.

We need these scares to keep us sharp. Pep's Bayern used to sleepwalk to the Bundesliga title and then fall apart when they went behind in the big CL games. We did the same IMO in 2018.

You have to have a few bursts of maximum intensity every now and then so it's easily accessible when you need it.
