Sweet Jesus! He should never have been appointed in the first place.I don't think Mourinho should ever have been sacked.
Yes, there are some better candidates out there, but none offer much more certainty than OGS right now. The re build will take a while to complete. I don't see the need for knee jerk reactions at manager level.
Making a double sub at 87th minute says a lot.
The man is inept.
Yeh. My post was more on the attackers side. Midfield with Pogba, Matic and McTom there are fine.Pogba and Matic are good at holding the ball in a physical battle too. I think we definitely missed Matic today, as he has been pretty good lately.
would have liked Dalot and Williams instead of Shaw and AWB in 60 min.Fred MOTM. His offensive improvement is remarkable.
Periera’s worst game in the shirt. And that’s saying something.
James poor. Martial anonymous. Fair intro by Bruno, but he really wasn’t anything special. Completely anonymous in the second half.
Ole is a coward with the 2 subs in the 85+ minute. And where was the walkout?
Those are decent options to have for those 2 ST positions I think and Martial plays well with a partner.Good team except dont want to see martial anywhere near to the team. Hope Mason can fill in OR Ighalo.
9 hours for me.Another 90 mins of my life wasted.
Cheers you bunch of wasters.
Neves for sure. Jimenez and Traore possibly. Who else?The quality of football between us and Wolves was pretty scary. They are only a couple of signings from being a top 3 team. 60% of their team would walk into our team, that's how far we have fallen....
Shaw and AWB need to do much more in their attacking play.Shaw and the back 4 very good
Andreas shite
Martial AWOL
Mountinho, Jota and arguably DohertyNeves for sure. Jimenez and Traore possibly. Who else?
Meh on Jota, I'd take one of him or Traore for our RW. Meh with Moutinho too. But I get what you mean. They seem to have a more stable, balanced squad, that plays more cohesively.Mountinho, Jota and arguably Doherty
That's because of their manager.Meh on Jota, I'd take one of him or Traore for our RW. Meh with Moutinho too. But I get what you mean. They seem to have a more stable, balanced squad, that plays more cohesively.
Yes, and he's been there for nearly three years to build this team.That's because of their manager.
You could give Ole 20 years.Yes, and he's been there for nearly three years to build this team.
Ole looking chirpy at the end is fecking painful. Shows how far we have fallen, he's happy with the draw.
I mean, I just don’t see how it’s possible unless you’re just like “okay Bruno, go do your thing”This is an interestingly good point.
This is a damning and excellent point when you think about it.Amazed that Bruno can walk right into the team that soon after joining.
If you ever needed evidence that we don’t actually have a “system” of play that a new player needs to learn, there it was.
Or maybe it was because we were desperate after the Matic red card. It was either him or Lingard today.This is a damning and excellent point when you think about it.
And then that same player was moved from his best position into a double pivot with Fred.
I mean if that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what does.
Him or Lingard in a double pivot?Or maybe it was because we were desperate after the Matic red card. It was either him or Lingard today.
Nah, Bruno started as a 10, but got moved back because Pereira kept making mistakes. Ole's reasoning was for Bruno to see more of the ball, which wasn't completely false to be fair, personally I thought he wasn't much into the game at the start. But yeah, if we hadn't signed Bruno, it would've been Lingard starting, Andreas Fred double pivot today.Him or Lingard in a double pivot?
Why exactly? Garner could have been used. You could have gone with a back 5 again and used Fred-Pereira there(giving them a bit more freedom to venture forward).
There was no need at all to drop Bruno with Fred as a double pivot. It reeked of no plan.
Hear, hear.Wolves are surely the most overrated team in the country. So, so dull and negative. A Hipster’s West Brom.
Maybe, he shouldn't have started Pereira at all considering how bad he's been for the past month.Nah, Bruno started as a 10, but got moved back because Pereira kept making mistakes.

I agree. But at this point how can it even be up for debate? Ole's a tactical car crash. Lineups, formations and substitutions are mostly baffling.Him or Lingard in a double pivot?

BrutalWe were fairly shite - Pereira absolutely nowhere near good enough to play in the Premier League and Daniel James looks shot.
thought all our defenders played well with AWB the best of the bunch but we were massively let down by everyone in front of them. Martial a huge disappointment, again.
That said, Wolves are surely the most overrated team in the country. So, so dull and negative. A Hipster’s West Brom.
He probably spent more than 15 minutes wondering who was more suitable to come on and do nothing, Lingard or ChongAndreas useless as per usual. And what was that 87 minutes sub about. So stupid.
Keep seeing this - we got 5 points from our first 4 games with everyone fit at the start of the season and you could argue a lot of these injuries are players being played when injured or being run into the ground. That's not luck, it's bad judgement.One thing is for certain. We can't afford to be missing our best players. Not even one of them. Pogba. Rashford. Mctominay. Maguire (and maybe Bruno and AWB) are indispensible. We just don't have the depth or quality in the squad to replace them without a MAJOR drop off in performances.
Ole has been really unlucky with injuries this season. Almost no other side has experienced losing their best player for much of the season, let alone 2 or 3 of them.
Sure, I mean he was only there for six months, brought in seven players and they were worse than when he arrived. Oh, and none of those players lasted twelve months.Stop talking utter bullshit. Cardiff was a shambles of a team. It wasn't Ole's fault they got relegated, and to keep bringing it up to attack Ole is pathetic.
I watched the match without being on here. A lot of you frot yourselves senseless on your misery. Team looked better with Fernandes, with Matic in and him at 10 this would have been a win, Martial appalling, 10 position appalling, Mata past it, James a squad player, everything else looking good.

Did we win?
As others have said, this is an interesting point. Now it makes me wonder how long did it take for Larsson to start when we picked him up on loan back in 2007?Amazed that Bruno can walk right into the team that soon after joining.
If you ever needed evidence that we don’t actually have a “system” of play that a new player needs to learn, there it was.
Both good points and worrying. But we shouldn't be surprised. We still haven't seen any real noticeable system or improvement when we play against such teams as Wolves.This is a damning and excellent point when you think about it.
And then that same player was moved from his best position into a double pivot with Fred.
I mean if that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what does.
