Match Threads Wolves vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 15

[Barrd10]

Not much fun this is it.

Watching Kane play as a CDM every week.

I’m sure he loves it.

In other news we at least now know that we are not winning the league with this high energy, all out attacking football.

Did Jose just say that we had control of the game for 89 minutes?

Jose getting called out & being found out

 

[greavesy461]

Bit controversial but everyone digging out Jose. Don’t the players have to take some responsibility? I can’t imagine Jose is telling them to play like this? Defensively resolute and quick on the counter sure but we just hoof it away. I think the problem is the link between defence and our front players. It should be quick transitions but we always try and bypass. I’m sure Jose is also not saying “don’t press” - hes saying press aggressively when they get over the halfway line and we have some space for our forwards - we aren’t doing that. The issue is the midfield for me and assuming Tanguy can’t last 90 mins it’s a tricky situation. We defo need to go on a run now against some weaker opposition - get the confidence up. I think we need to give Jose a bit more time than this.

Haha the way he played tonight Jane would be more fitting. Sorry to all the aspiring James out there- sexist comment

James/Janes sorry I give up. I’m too depressed tonight

What would be the worst case scenario if we played this lineup for a long stretch of league matches?

Lloris

Aurier Alderweireld Dier Reguilon

PEH Ndombele

Bale

Lamela Kane Son
​

Would the results be worse? I doubt it. If this team clicked, would our results be better? Almost certainly. Yet it's a near certainty we won't see this lineup, or any involving Dele/Lo Celso and others who have the ability to help us reach our aims.

I think united are shite, but at least their fans see a load of shots on target from their team and stuff .

Did Jose just say that we had control of the game for 89 minutes?

its laughable. we had 89 mins to score more goals, yet he takes our attacking threats off ?

 

[Gilzean at the near post]

The fact that we choose to concede possesion all across the pitch except the last 3rd just invites teams onto us. Wolves thoroughly deserved the draw.

This is happening game after game. I don't understand how we willingly play this way and we don't expect the opposition to score. Let's be on the front foot and try to win matches

 

[Gingernut]

S


Sigh....always 1 or 2 of you

So the answer is sack the manager like people are saying on here?

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Hes been rumbled and didn't answer the interviewers questions

 

[Serpico]

Play ...Poor/average/brilliant = results will be...lose/draw/win respectively. We are average at best at the minute and I cant see a away forward playing this way. We only come alive when we lose the lead which is a shame because only then do I start enjoying the football although im filled with anger because weve conceded .

 

[Laboog]

@Sarsipius I would just like to openly say how petty you are. I'm glad you have enough free time to go through all my posts history and put a spam tag on them. I really hope that makes you feel better about your life. Good for you.

 

[handsomecake]

joao moutinho is 34 and puts our midfielders to shame. always shows for the ball and sets tempo. Our CM's don't want the ball and hide.

 

[ardiles]

It was a draw

Oops! Edited now. It sure felt like a loss though. ?

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Or having more positive tactics

Yeah, Im thinking about scenarios that could actually happen.

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

I'm amazed we managed to scrape a draw. The idea of sitting on one goal for 89 minutes is laughable.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

In 4 of the 5 league games we’ve drawn, we’ve been leading when Tanguay was subbed. Don’t underestand why we can’t get 90 mins out of a professional footballer.

 

[ILS]

The players aren’t good enough. Do you guys honestly think that Sissoko or winks is better than one of those wolves CM? That Bergwijn, Moura, Lamela or even current form and fitness bale is better than one of their AMs? Is Sanchez better than Coady? Wolves had great technicians out there we just had “good pros”. Need to seriously step up our recruitment for technicians. Poch and Mourinho haven’t signed one attacking player who has improved us.

If they had Jimenez upfront ...we wouldn't have got a point.

 

[worcestersauce]

Both Palace and wolves scored with 5 minutes to go from corners. It's not that we're bad at defending corners because we're not we're good, but the sheer number of them we concede makes it inevitable that one is going to go in, it's just the percentages.
We have to stop defending on the six yard line, we have to come out.
