I still think it's a little early of course, but i can't deny that it's very deflating to see how we haven't improved our possession game. I think we gave the ball away 81 times last night, which doesn't sound great to me. We are so, so bad at it. Another worry I had coming into the season was having Cas being the only man covering the whole midfield, and how that would kill him. Well, that's exactly what we saw. Very worrying.
But a massive thing that stood out to me in last nights game, was how much stronger the Wolves players were. It was literally like men vs boys. Nearly every shoulder-to-shoulder and 50/50, they won. They just swatted our players aside as if they were nothing. Newcastle are the same. They have a lot of pace and power in that team. City as well now. There's a level of aggression to some of these teams, too. And I'm not talking about the stupid, chest thumping, launching-yourself-into-a-needless-tackle, kind I'm talking about proper physicality. We don't seem to have that.
