What a load of rubbish. No pattern, cohesion or dominance. Not enough getting into positions to receive the ball. Definite mid table mediocrity. Why, when there are the players to win games. Why oh why are we not playing as a team. I think there are problems off the field. No evidence, just my gut feeling.
We are inconsistent. The balls from midfield were poor, we seemed to have little idea for a lot of the time... etc etc
We were abject at best, no tempo and am I the only one to question what Anya is doing in the team? takeaway his pace and he contributes so little, never looks up and plays a decent pass. He can not hold down a first team place on the back that he has the odd assisst, we are supposed to have such a talented, indepth squad. I wondered before if our boys would be upto playing on a cold wet boxing day night and performance answered me. Cant blame Slava as he couldnt change more than three of the players tonight. This hurts the most out of the three home defeats this season
Hopeless across the whole team possibly bar Gomes. I would single out Vydra, Anya, Toszer, Paredes and Doyley as being worse than the rest but generally just hopeless.
Wolves played very well tonight and we never got going - We should have made a couple of changes at half time and had a go at them. We lost the midfield very early on - hardly noticed Abdi !
it was awful. No idea what we can do now, we were without passion, desire, etc etc. But the team was wrong, why not start with our best players?! So embarrassing, i brought a Wolves fan who was laughing for most of the match..at us! Especially when Doyley so beautifully let a good pass go through his legs. Terrible. I hope tomorrow will be a more enjoyable game!
We have gone from vibrant to gritty to abject in three weeks. How did that happen? O.K., Fulham were over-confident, fielded a young side and gave our midfield too much space. Wolves were fighting to regain confidence and gave our midfield no room at all. We did not seem to know how to respond, and were totally ineffective. Is that the story? What now? The team seem to be indecisive in possession and nervous in defence. I go back to the personality of the manager--dour, even morose and not capable if inspiring team or fans. Surely handicapped by poor communication skills? He permanently gives the impression of being "three defeats from the sack".
Hate to say it but starting to hope that he is actually three defeats from the sack - or less now. I am not in favour of chopping and changing and let's face it we have already been through a few (!) but he just doesn't seem right for the job. I can't believe he is getting the best out of our team - well actually I don't need to believe it or otherwise he just isn't. Feeling negative about tomorrow but hoping for the best as always.
He's a Slav. If we were winning he would appear to come across as a cold, efficient, focused, killer. I worry more about language barriers. Is he able to communicate fluently (and quickly when necessary) with the staff? His stuttering "We.... were.... good.... I ..... think...." doesn't convey to me someone able to give clear, fast when necessary, apposite coaching. The only thing I heard him shout on Boxing Day was "Play! Play!"
Lets just hope the players have learnt from the awful performance and start to play on the front foot trying to attack sides rather than sitting back waiting for things to happen. Too many poor passes and lack of energy.
