Wolves PL (A) | Man of the Match

[OB1]

Alvarez, continuing to develop as a player.

 

[Blue Steel]

Our forwards were hiding.
Left him to get by three players and find a pass through two more.
Very poor up front.

He’s showing up Jack at the moment.
Jack looks like he’s feeling the pressure.

“Showing up Jack” - Jack’s been injured and isn’t fit yet. It’s the only reason we’ve seen so much of Doku on the left. And Doku didn’t show him up at all yesterday.

Yesterday’s distinct lack of control and ball retention by the majority of the players showed how much we need Jack in games like that (and 10 mins at the end for a not yet match fit player isn’t a good barometer by which to judge).

Akanji

Reminded me of Saints away in the League Cup last season. Like then, I couldn't work out our plan, leader or if we'd played together before. We had chances but we're toothless. Were Wolves good or us poor? Both?

Either way, ended the day Top of The League... and it was only the September Edition of the Beating City Cup.

Whilst we were poor today and no excuses, we must congratulate Wolves on their diving/acting/roll play. F'kin outrageous. They deserve an Oscar for their antics!!

Everyone’s doing that now tbf. We’re not immune to those antics ourselves occasionally although some are definitely worse than others.

Akanji and even he was pretty average in reality, it's the rest we're poor.
