not heard from Spurlock. I think it’s safe to assume he’s currently rolling a fatty and planning to pass out after watching that.
We were just all over the place and there was barely any cohesion. Looked so open in the middle and costa ran us ragged out wide. Trippier dogshit tonight. Felt sorry for Foyth, he was stitched. Hugo had a solid game, to be fair. Credit to wolves though, they’re a bloody decent side.
Felt for Foyth on the first penalty but the second one was naive, you don't grab like that in the box. He and Toby were allowing runners through them too often as well. I think today showed just how crucial Dier is at helping out his CBs. Hugo made a blinding save from Neves at the bottom corner, the rest were pretty routine. His distribution again... Well we all know that story, think it was twice he kicked it out for a Wolves throw-in, may have been more. Yeah for sure, Wolves definitely don't look like a side who've just been promoted.
Wasn't the relaxing way to start my Sunday that I had hoped, but as everyone has said Wolves are a decent side and will win playing worse. It all about finishing though we took our few chances.
Incredible that we’ve got a point more than we had last season, despite how poorly we’ve played. Goal difference is currently 4 worse. Despite another naff performance, these results are massive with all of our rivals also doing so well.
Wow, we made that tough for ourselves in the end. So many games we have been in control of and let it slip. Plus points were Hugo, Lucas and in particular Lamela. Trippier beautiful cross for Lucas's goal but defensively awful again. Alderweireld very shaky and expected more authority and leadership from him in the backline. Still a vital 3 points against a good Wolves side.
Fantastic save from Neves’ low effort, others were pretty routine albeit needed saving. Hit two goal kicks out for throws though, bemuses me how poor his kicking is.
That was Dembele’s 250th game for us, what a **** way for him to make it. Here’s hoping the injury ain’t too bad.
