Wolves PL (A) | Post Match Discussion

Ake looked slow and ponderous for both goals. The first failing to put the ball into touch the second miles away from his man. Needs t up his game next time out.

We need Bernardo back next week on the right, Doku on the left, Foden and Alvarez through the middle

It wasn't the team, it was their application today.

It was both. Neither Kovacic or Phillips are capable of playing the Rodri role. They’ll run all over our midfield next week if pep doesn’t come up with a plan and goes with todays plan again

Something strange has happened City since going 2-0 against Forrest.
There is a weird frustration rife throughout the team since Rodri lost it and got sent off.
It’s bubbling under the surface of a lot of them.
We’ve looked way of it and distracted.

Hope they shake it off soon.

Three losses in a row without Rodri is on the cards but is not a good look.
Needs to be sorted, as we were playing great football up to now, even if we are not scoring enough.

This is true and how have we arrived at a position where we are so reliant upon one guy?
We have always been slightly off when say David Silva was not playing and obviously Kevin.
We are the best team in the world but one geezer doesn’t play and we are all thinking next week is going to be a disaster and after the last two games I can understand that attitude.
First 30 minutes last weekend no side on this planet could have lived with us and that can’t be just through one player so lets put this misfire behind us sharpish and do some business in the next seven days.

Is pep back on the touchline next week?

 

[David White]

Nothing wrong with the team today, any team in the world would miss Rodders. As said a few posts ago, it was all down to poor application. We were slow, ponderous and we need to be clinical and take our chances.

Reuben was unlucky, his interception could have gone in any direction. We can complain about referees, there have been some appalling decisions in our games, but we had enough of the ball to lessen the refs influence and we didn’t use it.

We didn’t work hard enough and we didn’t want it enough.

Need a good performance on Wednesday to set us up for next weekend.

I’ve just seen the goals. Jesus wept, absolutely terrible defending.

 

[Lavinda Past]

No, 3 points go to the winning team, not the better team. If you're trying to say that there's never been a match where a team has won when they didn't deserve to, or lost a match they didn't deserve to, that's compete nonsense.

If you don't score more than the opposition, you don't deserve to win.

They don't award points for possession etc. You don't score enough, you get nowt.

Phillips was like a rabbit in headlights for the 2nd goal

 

[Paul1970]

Got away with it for now. If that team faces Arsenal next week we won't be top any longer

I agree . Rodri is our most important player by a country mile and when he doesn’t play it shows . Bad day at the office but we need to cone out firing against arsenal .
