Wolves PL (A) | Post Match Discussion

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

dias fucking shocking. both goals cos he cant fucking block a ball

I get the frustration but have you had your eyes shut for the last 3 years?

 

[El Gringo]

That's Foreplay. Penetration is where it's at.

Ah...thats where ive been going wrong all these years ;)

 

[SK14BLUE]

Bang on the money. We got what we deserved, but the amount of feigning injuries and constant shithouse tactics left a sour taste

And the officials were part of it. Yet again

Apart from the Alvarez free kick that was a truly awful performance. Defensively we were wide open, especially down the left, every time they countered. Creativity was virtually zero,hence the big fella not getting any chances.
They had a game plan that worked very well on the day but they are still an average team. Play like that in the next few games and we will suffer.

 

[Revolver]

Too many injuries and a suspension in a period where there are lots of games.

We have lost a couple of key players and we are incorporating new players.

Plus we don’t know what the psychological effects are for players who know that last season was the summit.

It may be that things don’t improve in the coming week with tough opponents

But Pep will have a plan and we will improve.

Today is disappointing but nothing that can’t be rectified.

I guess you must have watched a different match. Wolves had the better chances? What chances?

I didn’t say that, I said it ‘seemed’ like… They seemed to repeatedly cause us problems on the break. We created nothing clear cut either, despite 23 attempts.

 

[Dribble]

To be fair, the heartbeat of our side has always been our central midfield under Pep. You stop that and you stop City.

We can probably cope with losing 2 out of KDB, Rodri and Bernardo, but not losing all three. To miss those three players at the same time is just unfortunate.

That said, I find it staggering that Foden isn’t the first name in the middle of the park at the moment.

Today wasn't a day to play two forwards. It just wasn't working.

We should've rested one from Haaland/Alvarez & stiffened up the midfield in the absence of Rodri, Bernardo & KDB.

Surely this would've been better?

Doku-------Alvarez-------Bobb
-----------------Foden---------------
-------Kovacic-------Nunes/Grealish----

Dawson was roughing up Haaland & barely gave him a sniff. Haaland's no Kane who can drop deep into a No.10 role to stifle the opposition knowing we've got the pace & trickery of Doku & Bobb out wide & the creativity of Foden behind to unlock deep lying defences.

With Kovacic & Nunes/Grealish in behind, we'd have stifled the midfield today & not given them a sniff, whilst still posing a major threat.

Pep probably wouldn't have started like this, but the option was there to change to this line up, especially after we drew level.

It was a poor day all round from managerial decisions to player performances.

Today felt like Newcastle away last season who were fired up after the Almiron comments by Grealish. Nunes gave Wolves fans the same gumption.

Bad day at the office shit happens, we always seem to loose a game like this every year totally unexpected.
Long long way to go.

Bang on the money. We got what we deserved, but the amount of feigning injuries and constant shithouse tactics left a sour taste

Every team does it to the max versus us as the refs give them absolutely everything

 

[ancoats]

We all have to get used to losing again, even having bad days with teams where we are told it's away banker 3 points in the bag, I could run the rule over the game and play the blame game (stick the tail on the pony) but what is the point when the whole team was off it,
