Walker's tracking back for their goal was Dohertyesque. The delights of friendlies

 

[Wolftone]

Villa fans already saying what's missing is Grealish

 

[Wolftone]

Walker has been absolute shit.

 

[Wolftone]

Could be 0-3 at this stage.

Not really England have missed 2 sitters also

Why I said 'Could' and not 'Should'.
Can't see us winning a game with this level of performance.
Although scoring the first goal is vital against lower opposition.
Better since TAA came on and played a few early balls. Not really what you want to see but if it works who cares?

 

[jd1981]

Defence is an utter shambles’s

 

[Wolftone]

The defence . Actually being outplayed by Iceland

 

[EpsomWolf]

Dire.
Have I got news for you is on the other side too.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Just makes you long for Mings to be fit...

 

[Tony Towner]

Probably best DMing him

 

[Wolftone]

Well that's my Betfair account empty . Cheers lads. Only 1/12 before kick off.

 

[ROVERT47]

Hmm, this Tournaments ‘Golden Generation’

 

[jd1981]

Well doesn’t this performance and result make you feel warm and cosy before next week. Some of it you can put down to Iceland being at 100% and us being at 75%.
I think the midfield has offered zero protection to the back four tonight to we look far to open.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's a friendly, just like the Nations League it's not real football. It has zero impact on what happens in the tournament.

 

[EpsomWolf]

Reminds me why I gave up on friendlies altogether.

Last one I saw live was us against Villa when O’Leary was in charge for them, must’ve been about 2005/6 which, was not a bad game to be fair.

After watching that shite though the most comforting thing was knowing there’s something called iplayer.

I think I was at that game - Kevin Phillips scored didn’t he?

 

[White Wolf]

It's only a friendly but doesn't bode well. Much too slow and the lack of a left-back was seriously hurting the width. Most important thing would have been to sign off with a win and go into the tournament with a positive atmosphere but it was just so laborious, needed to simply take the shot sometimes especially Palmer.

Went into the last Euros on pretty poor form so doesn't necessarily mean much. Germany (when they were good) used to always play rubbish in their pre-tournament friendlies as far as I can remember?

That’s the one. Finished 2-1 (was it 1-2?). 9.5 million pound Juan Pablo Angel played for them and was hopeless.

Funnily enough that was the first time I took my kids to a Wolves game as I couldn’t afford to take them to a league match. I bought the Wolves Union Jack flag from the club shop that day and my daughter draped it over her shoulders. It was a proud moment. That was the Wolves flag that was up on the balcony last weekend in La Rascasse at the GP. Got fucking mullered and unless someone has removed it it’s still there. Felt like a fitting end,

Great memories.

Yeah think that was pretty similar situation for us, my Dad would take us up to see family and try to tie it in with a pre season friendly.
