Odd descions tonight. Bringing minamino on, changing to 442 to help him with ox on the left.

Not sure why we insisted on keeping such a high line to allow all the room in the world for traore to run into, but failed to press there back 3 successfully as they played with a sweeper.

Switching to 442 was very surprising. Killed our press, couldn't keep the ball and had no structure or shape
 
Robertson was poor. Traore is such a technically poor player, he wants to get it out wide and sprint. Robertson was far too close to him and caught out several times, give him space and defend the space ahead of him and he will go nowhere.

Yep, agree Robbo was poor tonight

Actually Robertson should have been tighter. He allowed Traore too much space. That said, we should have scored the second much earlier and that would have allowed us to manage Traore better

Ridiculous. His close control on the ball was excellent, combined with his strength and speed it makes for a very good player. Obviously, made even better by having zero defensive duties

Great to get three points from a very tough game. I love Mo Salah but he really can’t afford to miss so many chances and not pass to others in a better position. There were a few under par performances like Robbo but I hope Mane is not out for long. He brings so much to our game

Wolves played well, high energy and decent quality. We helped them as much as we could though.

While mane was on, although a tough game, we where in control and I didn't feel threatened. Once hed gone off, it was a different matter.

Mimi was well off the pace, not sure why he was brought on in such a hard game. His introduction meant a change in formation that we never quite got right.

Some terrible descion making and sloppiness all contributed to a game that we made as much hard work out of as we could.

Amazed we came away with a result! Onwards and upwards.

Oh thought Henderson was excellent again, when everyone else was struggling he really held things together well.

The best thing Hendo did was take the ball off Mo and pass it to Bobby.
