We need someone in midfield who can put their foot on the ball. Too many nervous nellies in there giving away possession any time someone comes near them.

Is one of those days where every ball will just bounce to a Wolves player.

Youre saying that as if we are unlucky it is falling to them haha... we have been giving the ball to them gift wrapped with one of those flower things on top... a bow thats it.

1 up but a lot to sort out at half time. Vertonghen in particular is getting no defensive support from Son. Offensively we need more from Son (been poor), Alli, Kane and Moura as we’re getting overrun in midfield... they need to do more for the team.

I honestly think that we've generally defended and attacked well. The problem for us this half is that the lads are too stressed on the ball and we 're lacking ball retention in midfield which is inviting needless pressure on us.

Trying to grind a result away to a team who haven't lost at home since September.

I guess we have ridden our luck, but find ourselves 1 up.

Going to take plenty of effort to keep our noses in front. As poor as we have been they've applied themselves well enough and kept at it.

Chemistry.

Son and lucas need consistancy like mane and salah. I don't see why they can't operate similar on the counter

We need to add to the midfield in second half. Nees to do better on the counter attach.

Lucky to be ahead. Played well enough for 15 minutes, but the last 30 have been poor. A back five would solve so many problems.

Wolves been relentless, few hairy moments but defensively our defence and midfield have done a great job to contain them.

Would like to see a bit more guile from us under Mourinho, aside from a few promising moves during counter attacks, it's very direct and scrappy.

Absolutely, Son looks world class one game, a pub player the next week. Today he's been awful. Can't even control the ball.

We look like we can score more goals though.

We are very much an attack/defend team at the moment. We don't have any control over the midfield, that helps to absorb pressure.

Jose needs to get some of them to calm down cause they are making poor passes under no pressure.

This is a match where Ndombele is really missed. You need someone who can dribble and play quick forward passes against Wolves. They are open and vulnerable at the back to fast transition through balls.

I suspect Mourinho will think hard about taking off Dele for Eriksen. He's put him on whenever he's needed someone who to show for the ball and take pressure off a bit.

Behave? That is a poor finish end of.
Dude, I'm all for calling out bad play, but a poor finish is missing the target entirely, or banging it over the bar. He hit the post after some beautiful build up play. Be fair. There's such a thing as being overly critical for the sake of it.
