Wolves PL (A) | Post Match Discussion

You do, maybe. We were unlucky today that's all, stats prove it, just the doom machine going into overdrive again, nothing more, nothing less.

Not unlucky at all. we deserved nothing and got nothing.

Lack of urgency, even more frustrating when we're needing a goal. Play like that, and even with Rodri in the team, we would struggle

As someone said in the matchday thread. Plod, plod, plod.

There was just no urgency in anything we did today. The press was slow and our play was slow.

i was surprised at the amount of times kovacic gave the ball away today, very unlike him

Yes, felt that with him and Nunes today.
That said, Wolves were playing like a team possessed. You could just tell. I don’t know if it was Nunes-related, but their energy levels and desire today reminded me of “peak” liverpool at their ground from a few years back.

OK People , blame it all on me, not been to an away for nearly 18 months. Went to Newcastle on Wednesday and again today , two away matches in four days , two defeats....sorry :-(

Pep needs to come up with a solution quick to cover Rodri's absence cos if we go with that team next week we're definitely getting dicked

Bob Taylor, Steve Daly, Nunes , mugged again , Swales out, forward with Franny

Tracked back ? Usain Bolt with rocket burners stitched to his arse wouldn't have been quick enough to catch Neto from where Doku was when Kovacic's pass unitentionally hit Foden from about a yard away and allowed Wolves to counter on us when we were camped in their half. Ake couldn't deal with Neto's pace and Dias turned it into his own net from the cross. No blame can be attached Doku for that goal.

Never blamed him

Postitionally as soo nas we lose posetion pur forwards always drop backvto support defence/midfield.

I was in eyeline when Ake got turned near the half way line, a winger coming back once we lost possesion would have been overlapping and Netto would have been less cavalier, not blaming Doku, but in Peps team when out of possesion you bust a gut to get into positions to win it back.

too many didn't do that today tbf.

Not saying this is always the case but a lot of stray passes in the last few games (from all players, not just Kova) seemed to be a shared responsibility. Like the receiver is also not ready or anticipating. The injuries have forced very inconsistent line ups. And obviously having players that can play multiple positions is great, but I think maybe it can also become a liability. I still think a lot of players are playing a new position, or one they play less frequently. Even the back line, which is strong in most formations, feels like it could benefit from more consistency. If nothing else, it allows the link ups on the side to strengthen.
