Chelsea 3-1 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

I wouldn't have a quid on us to beat 2003/04's 33 points right now.

That's Dave Jones's Wolves that had Lee Naylor, Paul Butler, 88 year old Denis Irwin and Shaun Newton playing nearly all the games.

Oh and I fucking detest Cucurella the poodle haired little shit, him scoring pissed me off more than if another Chelsea player had

Even the now cunt Neto?

 

[Mild 'n' Scratchins]

I think it's much worse from Doc personally. By the time Doherty has pointlessly wandered away from where Cucurella scores from, the cross is in and RAN doesn't have any time to adjust his position, especially since he's busy covering another player at the back post.

They're both in defensive la la land

Even the now cunt Neto?

Why’s he a cunt exactly? Did I miss something?

 

[Squeak]

While what Vitor says about Cunha is probably true he needs to be careful how he handles this situation he can't just keep going in 2 footed as if he pisses Cunha off we are truly fucked. At the moment we are probably 50/50 but if Cunha is disinterested or leaves we are gone.

Stuff like this is best left in the dressing room but Vitor is 100% correct. I've often thought Cunha is overrated simply because he can occasionally offer some magic. However, his body language and his aptitude can certainly be questioned. He does need to do more. He can be a team leader if he gets his head down and does more of the dirty work.

Cunha is simply the latest player to be purchased and then will inevitably sold for a profit. However, if Cunha really wants to be a bettere player, he needs to learn and work harder.

He's not. Don't think you've missed anything.
Football fans are just a bit weird sometimes.
Some are irritated he celebrated a goal in our previous match.

Celebration at Molineux when he assisted the Felix goal.

His reception from the vast majority tonight was correct...nothing

 

[Derby Wolf]

For clarity, I hold nothing against him celebrating.

I hate this misty eyed hand held up apologetically bollocks when you've scored against a former club. Unless it's a genuine club legend like Lampard scoring against Chelsea for Man City.

I couldn't give much of a toss about a player who spent equal parts on the treatment table as he did with tantalising wing play once they're out the door.

Ah. Can’t say that bugs me, but I suppose I’m not the snowflakiest snowflake out here.

He's so weak in the challenge. Mentally and physically. Further, he's not quick enough, not skillful enough, and not strong enough for this level. Just because Sarabia wasn't great doesn't mean Guedes was better. He wasn't.

Joao Gomes (and, when he came on, Rodrigo Gomes) were our only players to come out with any real credit today. Genuinely feel like we need two new centre halves and an attacking player to stay up.

Taking these in order.

He has plenty of pace and runs the channels and off the shoulder better than any if our forwards.

Yes he was he was orders of magnitude better than Sarabia (not difficult).

Rodrigo was no better than Guedes. Both linked up down the right, both buffed and puffed but couldn't make anything happen.

 

[The Bear]

Marking space rather than players is something we've done all season, and it's shit.

Yeah, following the wrong players and leaving acres of space for the goalscorer right between the sticks is so ace, as we saw twice against Newcastle.

Love this.

Cunha is telling the truth too, definitely applauded the fans - I saw him.

This is so odd.

 

[The Bear]

I don't think calling Cunha out in public and trying to turn the fans against him is a great idea. It'll only accelerate his desire to leave as we've seen with Lemina.

And it's RAN that did that!? He's his responsibility, Cuc is a LB, RAN was RWB at the time and Cuc was in a much more dangerous position than Neto was.

Sorry mate, I just don't get it. RAN slowly followed Cuc back and showed no urgency to defend at all, dreadful.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I don't think calling Cunha out in public and trying to turn the fans against him is a great idea. It'll only accelerate his desire to leave as we've seen with Lemina.

Agreed.

The fact he's responded to Keen just shows he's rattled.

We are a right bloody mess, the last person we want to be thinking about anything other than football is Cunha.

 

[The Bear]

You can argue RAN needed to get back quicker, that's fair enough.

But Doc didn't need to try and mark anyone. As we used to see with players like Ferdinand and Terry, the positioning of how they defended their 6 yard line when crosses come in is vital. They never used to constantly mark players and get pulled out of position, they put themselves along the 6 yard line to defend the ball coming in and used to head and kick everything away, high and low. I guess Doc isn't a natural CB but he should still have enough experience to do better IMO.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

If we stay up it will be more down to luck than anything else. We’re shite.

I get very little joy out of watching us play. Cheers lads.
