Arsenal 2-1 Wolves Verdict Thread 13/12/25

[Sniffer]

Arse.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

A hard one to judge as we basically played for a 0-0, did ok in that respect for a while, then didn't, then somehow got a goal, and still lost.

The effort was better and I would say we deserved a point (but Arsenal were shite).

Johnstone is awful on the first goal and Lopez is awful on the second goal.

No way Tolu should be behind JSL and no way Mané (who in himself isn't really ready) should be behind Hwang.

Doherty is still awful, what a mess we have at RB, we keep rotating between three and they're all shit.

I can't take any encouragement from it, sorry.

 

[Wolfe]

it’s like pulling teeth

 

[Celtiña]

For me its simple:

Bad start trying defense, only help Arsenal get more option to score, and the goal are coming.
The best way to exit of that position its get wins, to get wins need work on offensive style but secure on defense.
The GK and Defenses failed a lot long passes, need work on that all time. Imposible play defensive style if dont know how send long balls.

For me:

You guys have a lot bad defenses, need sell 2 defenses and get one good. And use Krejci on defense too
Need one tall DMF Andre-Gomes are playing a lot games and no have natural player to cover they in that position.
Need two good offensive player orientated to the wings (left and right).
If have option to sell Sa, sell it and buy a new Gk

Winter Market:
Out: 2 defenses, and if possilble GK
In:1 Defense good, 1 DMF, 2 Ofensive players

It’s another defeat and yes it’s a harsh way to lose but for the love of god you get an unexpected point in your hands in the last minute just see it out.
Crapiest of the crap sides lose like that.
We didn’t back up the 2 points v BHA and Spurs with a win and we were very shit after the Villa loss too.
I still fully expect us to lose to Brentford.
You can pat them on the back for effort but again where was this v Forest and second half v Man Utd.
The moment we pick up some points I’ll start being positive. It’s Christmas Day in 12 days and we’ve got 2 points and no wins FFS.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

If Fiorentina beat Verona tomorrow we are the only winless team left in Europe.

PS - Mosquera you can't defend the smallest player on the pitch, you can get to fuck in January as well xx

 

[White Wolf]

Have to laugh. When you're this shit you will always find a way to lose and we did, I did expect us to concede. Only so many times you can graft to about 70 mins before conceding whilst creating absolutely nothing and not feel like you're watching the same game on repeat. Bad squad, unlucky tonight to be fair but we're still just losers.

 

[jd1981]

The infuriating thing is you put in a good effort away at the side 3rd and 1st and narrowly lose. You conversely chuck in dog shit passive performance in the home games in between against 1 poor side and 1 average 1.

The first period are bad...

The option of play ultra-defensive its good if u made tactics to score.... But that team dont made any tactical play, only spam long balls to wtf random positions...

In defensibe style, need run to up fast, and win the position, and trought passes, but all time are running down, to receibe around 4 player of Arsenal, and no one of Wolves to pass, all are down...

Hawke and Larsen not are fast player...

 

[PuntsWolf]

I’ll ignore 90 mins of football. We’ve managed to concede from a single ball into the box targeting one short striker into a back 3. It should be impossible but we keep conceding the same goal.

We’ve done the same thing twice in 10 days. I can’t compute my disdain. Stop being so imposdbly shit FFS

 

[sycophantia]

Not goung to get on the Larsen bandwagon but he needs taking out of the firing line and Tolu needs to start. Whether its attitude, lack of supply, confidence or a combination of all 3 we're doing neither him or us any favours starting him every week.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Feels a bit Villa for me.

Can't take much away from it in isolation because the vastly better side were so under par and despite that still managed to find a way to win.

It's all about how we respond in the following game now. If we turn up another performance like Forest against Brentford then everything tonight means absolutely fuck all.

For me Tolu-Larsen need play two.

Are good in air duels, get long balls, and try asociate others... That two player are better than Hawke.

Need work on 4-4-2 or 5-3-2

Two tall forwards fix the defense and dont run all free to up... but need play pressing up, and not full defensive.

 

[Jinky]

Well, Arteta and Arsenal are a disgrace. Much as you want to give us credit, it’s still a defeat - we’re still on 2 points. We still haven’t won a game of football this season. We’re still going down with a whimper. We’re still a basket case of a football club.

It’ll, of course, be dressed up by the Wolves socials as a ridiculously courageous effort and harsh loss/defeat (you switched off immediately after scoring so deserve nothing) - but most will know better.

Perhaps Rob Edwards might play a back 4 and actually stick some offensive players on the pitch from kick off next week. Fer/Mane supporting Tolu, who now deserves his start. RE will of course continue with a back 5 and Hwang/JSL (who’s a disgrace) up top and we’ll, of course, continue to lose every week.

Still, Jeff Shi is happy and relegation is only technical wording anyway.

I really don’t mean to be too rude but I really detest reading you pontificating

 

[Wolfe]

We’re going to finish on 5 points.

 

[BeaverWolf]

In a normal season we would be saying it was generally a good performance. TNT pundits were quite positive about us tonight & said Arsenal were lucky to get the win. Johnstone just had to find that bad error he makes every match. Arsenal scored from a corner wrongly given as there was an offside not spotted by the linesman. Sometimes you need some luck which we do not ever seem to get.

 

[Aquilador]

This team is never going to be a PL side in a month of Sundays, so we are stuck with them for now, but they did the best they could tonight. I can’t understand why Tolu doesn’t start, maybe he doesn’t have the stamina for 90 minutes, but JSL is ineffective.
Kudos to the Wolves fans who travelled to support the team under dire circumstances. The pundits said all the away seats were taken, so well done to the fans.
I just feel so sorry about the club’s situation. There’s just no point getting angry about it now.

 

[jd1981]

I mean we equalised too early which is a ridiculous thing to say considering we scored in the final minute of the 90, you still knew we’d concede again.

Correct. It should be impossible but we’ve done it again.
