Wolves are better than their table position suggests. That said, we are seeing the problem of long term under investment in the squad and not being able to rotate and rest players. Our bench today would not frighten anybody. It is a big ask to have so few players take on so much and we have to hope for luck with injuries.
Wolves were throwing 4 and 5 up and a good pass wide would open them I can see exactly why they are down there as when you see a side try to pass out and fail at it quite a bit and then all lash forward and leave it thst one good pass kills them it's no shock thst they are continuing to struggle even after getting shut of O'Neil. Our midfield is goosed. We are in trouble here.
Three massive games coming up in 7 days starting on Wednesday. How that tired looking squad is going to get through that is a big question.
Start with the first one. Thats the only way. I presume jones will be back after suspension Maybe gakpo will be back also.
I’d have no problem rotating Gakpo with Szob if need be to keep Diaz out on that left as he looks sharp and fit still
This is the problem with our really inflexible transfer targeting. Clear we needed a CDM in the summer (even with Graven becoming a better player), so we went after Zubamendi, which was fine if he signs. But he didn't and we don't have an alternative lined up, So we sign no one and the problem of no backup for Graven and Mac continues. Granted this problem is not so much of a problem in the first half of the season as everyone is fit and in form. But to reach this 2nd half the season, where players need rest and games getting rammed in midweek, with nobody signed cause we need another year to identify a transfer target is amateurish at best. I don't blame the football staff for this, I blame the guys running the off field side (who appear to be doing bugger all from an outside view)
Konate need to be educated about committing unnecessary fouls and yellow cards. I will not be surprised if he sent off.
If we aren't looking to buy Cunha and Ait-Nouri in the summer, we obviously weren't paying attention today.
I missed the game as had a late night in Vegas . sounds like we’re running on empty again……same thing happened last year….lets hope the cushion is enough to see us through this.
Either/Or in this case But Ait-Nouri has more PL experience and should Wolves be relegated I'd guess he'd be cheaper too.
Media making a big thing about us not having a shot on goal in the second half... Yet we literally had the ball in the net.
Yep, apparently challenging for a header is a nailed on second yellow and we’ve gotten away with one too Ignore the desperate noise
Yeah let's just ignore the tight offside goal without lines shown and ignore the pen removed. A lot of flopping about going on yesterday The guy went down holding his face when he got at worse a shoulder to the back. There was zero head contact
Was the same ****e with Bournemouth with players insisting on yellows for every single foul. At least Hooper had the bollox to book them for it I suppose.
I mentioned this right after the game - saw it again on MotD and it's definitely marginal. I was surprised they approved the on-field decision within seconds without showing any lines - they didn't even have time to draw them. Odd, that one.
he looked off to me initially do i didn't think much of it but if they are going to focus on one solitary item and make out wolves were robbed then its only fair to point out how the officals also gave wolves some decisions. That was never ever a second yellow foul and it was an extremely marginal shout that if a wolves player did they would be mad if they got a yellow. They screamed for yellows left and right like idiots and were their own worst enemies. the VAR guy was certainly not just doing LFC favours.
Me too, but the replay showed someone ( don't know who it was) down on their right that made it very close. It did at least deserve to be looked at, imo, there wasn't a lot in it.
Yeah was very odd how quickly that was cleared. I would say it looked offside but was very close. I wonder if it was a case of a few years ago think it was Saka against us where they don't have a camera angle to prove it so go with onfield decision.
Yeah, I'm not claiming it was wrong, but it was closer than I originally thought and as a disallowed goal came from it I think it deserved a longer look - given the length of time they usually spend on tight decisions.
