Leicester 2-1 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[AndyWolves]

SA made a big error. The rest of the performance is due to what we've known for a while

- Cunha isn't a centre forward
- moutinho isn't a 10 / attacking midfielder
- Neves plays too far back

 

[Tony Towner]

I can't for the life of me imagine Smith keeps them up next year if they don't go this

He won't be manager. They'll get better

 

[Dire Wolf]

And if we are going to play Neves and allow him to hold hands with the CBs then don't fucking play him. It doesn't matter how talented he is, it's detrimental to the team performance.

 

[The Bion]

He won't be manager. They'll get better

Right, I missed that somehow.

Still, not sure. Maddison will surely go and there isn't a huge amount of quality there (despite what today's result suggests)

If not them it’ll be someone else. Not sure what’s particularly dangerous about Leicester specifically.

 

[Jinky]

Gomes probably my MOTM, although I thought Semedo played well today too.

They've got almost a quarter of their seasons points off us. We've got no grounds to talk about their lack of quality.

I’m so annoyed by that half hour in we were on course for guaranteed safety and burying any lingering doubts.

Leeds have taken 6 off us and Leeds are objectively shit

Absoulute crap. Yes Neves is our best player but he ruined the way we played the last 2 games. Played way too deep and meant we were short up front. Costa could/should have stayed on longer - he was pissed to be taken off !!! Lop, please stop fucking the team up with needless subs

 

[Johnny75]

First 35 of 1st half - the equivalent of a bouncing Molineux
First 25 of 2nd half - the equivalent of a match day thread on here

Sa is a tool but Lop got it wrong today with his subs and tactics in the 2nd half.

 

[Mild 'n' Scratchins]

Thought Lop's changes made us worse. Neves comes on plays so deep it's untrue. Costa off, means we lose that focal point again. Neither Cunha nor Hwang can do a job as a centre forward. Why Bueno didn't come on for Toti, I don't know and the scatter gun subs after that. Oh well. Onto Palace.

 

[Charlie Wolf]

How the fuck did we not get anything out of that game.

They were shit but if you can’t put the ball in the net when you’re on top for 90% of the game you’re always gonna struggle…..

Speechless

 

[jd1981]

Tuesday becomes a must get something scenario, table is still healthy but the 3 fixtures after Tuesday are extremely difficult.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Leeds have taken 6 off us and Leeds are objectively shit

So 2 teams that we can all agree are pretty fucking shit, and we have 0 points. Plus we've failed to beat Bournemouth and Forest, 2 teams who are also pretty fucking shit. Not good enough. That's an attitude issue, plain and simple.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Sa is the clown but the manager takes all the blame for this one again. Baffling on so many levels

 

[Tony Towner]

So 2 teams that we can all agree are pretty fucking shit, and we have 0 points. Plus we've failed to beat Bournemouth and Forest, 2 teams who are also pretty fucking shit. Not good enough. That's an attitude issue, plain and simple.

We beat Forest at home

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Frustrating to lose when we should have won.

Hopefully next season Lop can manage to perfect the art of picking the right team to begin with and then not making it worse with his changes.

It isn't.

Leeds (A) - Lage was in charge
Forest (H) - we won 1-0
Bournemouth (A) - drew 0-0 - Lage in charge

Leeds and Bournemouth at home were not good enough but tactically Lop got them both wrong.

I don't really know what I think about him tbh. Look at the league table on Xmas Day to now and it's undeniably a good job, but some of the team selections, subs and in game management are just baffling from someone with his pedigree. I'm hoping a balanced squad to start next season fixes that
