Burnley [H] Build-up Thread

[Dire Wolf]

We are being totally outayed here by fucking Burnley. Not Man City or Liverpool, fucking Burnley.

 

[Alan]

Jesus. One pass and they're in our box.

Nuno is going to have to change something tactically.

 

[Carrotdude]

Bullying us all over the pitch tbh, they’re playing the longest of long ball football and it’s working. We miss Dendoncker.

 

[jdrodrigues]

Really can't see us doing much today. Something's just not working. Every bit of the team seems disjointed. Midfield is not connecting with the defense, offense is harmless.

 

[Carrotdude]

I miss last years home game vs Burnley

 

[t3ch]

we can't seem to string more than 3 passes together at the moment

 

[t3ch]

of course as I say that we have a great build up

Which leads into a big fat bloody nothing.

the announcers keep talking about a "scorching" day in wolverhampton... google says it's 84 F... ??? :icon_lol:

 

[Alan]

Well, only one goal in it, and at least we know we can make positive subs. Poor, poor half but still very much in it.

 

[jd1981]

That scoreline flatters us, look a shambles at the back. Retention of the ball is appalling. All I’ve Raul do is stand with his hands on his hips moaning. That middle 3 doesn’t work.

I'd kill for it to be that cool outside.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Awful half. Zero threat on their goal and the defence look terrified of Wood and Barnes. Neves isn't putting in a 6/10 performance today, it's more like 3/10. Zero influence on the game at all. And Gibbs-White is way out of his depth at this level.

 

[YoungWolf]

Poor performance. So frustrating how every ball lands at one of their players feet, we’ve not been good enough at supporting the defenders who are competing for the ball in the air

Coady has had a reasonable game and think MGW has done alright. Raul not quite at it.

Important we don’t do something stupid early in the half and gift them a goal. Don’t think we will play as badly as that second half

 

[jdrodrigues]

Watched Benfica getting manhandled last night.

Now watching Wolves getting bullied by Burnley.

Fuck me, what a weekend.

 

[Dire Wolf]

MGW hasn't done alright he's been weak, lightweight and generally useless. He's like someone trying to take down a rhino with a peashooter.

 

[The Bion]

Doc's in about a half mile of space and we're not looking his way nearly enough. Then when we do it's after an extra pass or the pass is mishit and the opening disappears.

Having said that he still doesnt look right either. Think we'll see Traore for sure. And Donck, probably.

 

[Premier Quality]

MGW has been ok - there’s no support for the front 3, which means they are having to try and fight their way round the Burnley defenders, and that’s exactly what the Burnley defenders are good at.

Adama on to give us something going forwards for me

 

[The Bear]

Well that wasn't great. Too slow in build-up apart from right at the end.

Doherty a waste of a shirt at the minute. Get Traore on for the 2nd half. He really should have started given his form. Possibly Vinagre too.

 

[Tom Hark]

Come on, then, Nuno, show us what you've got. We can't have another 45 minutes of that, surely?
