Wolves 1-2 Fulham: Verdict Thread

[The Bear]

A really poor performance. We had one spell when we scored and that was about it. The second half in particular absolutely dreadful with very little creativity or interplay. It was all very huff and puff.

Silva got his tactics spot on tbf. The early goals in each half allowed him to do exactly what he wanted which was to stifle the centre of the pitch and force us wide.

Munetsi can't start from now on, he's not good enough on the ball, but JSL really has to pick his performances up. Bellegarde was probably our best player, he was involved in everything good about us in the first half. He gets my MOTM.

 

[The Bear]

It's disappointing, but if we'd lost narrowly to Bournemouth away and won tonight it wouldn't feel so bad.

 

[Tredman]

Do one Bueno.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Bellegarde and Andre go off and we get worse. Munetsi stays on who is fucking hopeless in the attacking third, just about the safest player I’ve ever seen.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Not one player worth more than a 5 out of 10. Several worth a 2 at best including Cunha, RAN and Munetsi.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Think playing against 10 men at the weekend flattered us. Tonight we looked poor and not one player deserves more than 5/10. 45 minutes to get an equaliser and never looked likely. If we stay up we’ll be limping to the line.

 

[Haggstone]

Some strange subs tbh. I asked for Munetsi to be given 10-15 mins at half time, not the rest of the game to have zero impact.

I thought Fulham were excellent.

 

[Jinky]

Stunk the place out second half. No idea how to break a team down in a low block. Silva had obviously done his research and they managed the second half superbly.

No idea how he left Munetsi on for the whole game. It wasn’t working - he wasn’t offering anything, no idea what the thinking was there.

RAN infuriating. Cunha faded badly and without him it is what it is, we’re an average team. Don’t think there was much between the sides.

 

[Squeak]

A really disappointing game highlighted by two awful lapses of concentration at the start of both halves. Cunha has taken a lot of good press this season but frankly, this is the Jekyl and Hyde of him as he was more interested in letting the ref know his opinion than fighting for the team. A very frustrating performance.

As for the rest, it is extremely hard to break a team like Fulham when they are leading unless you move the ball quickly and with precision. We aren't good enough to do that and we ran out of steam at half time. Our bench made no impact and although we had lots of possession, we had absolutely no cutting edge. A wasted opportunity to pull 8 pts clear of the drop zone.

 

[HanDoJin]

Come on Man Utd, I suppose.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Do one Bueno.

And take Sa with you. He has a massive brain fart far too often.

 

[Alan]

That was not fun to have on and distracting me from work, but fuck me does the world just fucking end with any loss.

Fulham are a good side; it would have been nice to play up to our potential a bit more but even if we had, there's no guarantee of a result. They're simply a better team than we are right now.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

We were awful, and once fulham settled into their 4 5 1, it was all over.
Ran was a waste of time, as was munetsi tonight and the cunha i dislike turned up, petulant, over dribbling, and no shooting boots.
Poor display, so as much as i hate to say it, come on united.

 

[jd1981]

Really disappointing performance and result.
Unfortunately we are still a poor side so this will happen.
9 home defeats already this season, just 4 games at home have produced points. You’re asking for trouble.
We played like we thought we were already safe. This will give Ipswich the perfect lift for tomorrow.
Very much a case of no Cunha on form no party.
As we’ve said if we stay up this situation will be reoccurring next season.
Jose Sa seriously WTF are you doing? Thanks again for another depressing school night result.
I think we’ll keep Ipswich interested until late due to games like this.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Game was done in the 46th minute.

We huffed and puffed but never really looked like scoring a second, they kept us at arms length save for Cunha swinging a handful of threatening corners in. Thought their game management was spot on and them being able to bring five subs on and seamlessly shut us out at one end and still create at the other shows how idiotic our recruitment continues to be.

 

[Lycan]

Not having Munetsi. Parks player.

 

[1986]

We just don't like mid week matches do we .
If we're losing to Fulham at home , then what chance do we have when Everton turn up next with Moyes at the helm ?

Wha?

 

[Mel Evo]

Poor atmosphere, poor energy, poor subs and a poor result.

Fulham are well organised but it’s letting us off the hook to simply say that. We gave away two stupid goals, that helps.

VP obviously has plenty of credit in the bank. Seemed strange though to persist with so many players when it’s going nowhere and we have other games coming up. Strange to persist with Munetsi full stop, he looked lost from the first minute. That things got worse when we made changes is no point, we weren’t scoring anyway.

Yep if Djigga isn’t oven ready to replace Bueno or Doc why the fuck is he here? Munetsi again doesn’t look ready.
Agbadou looks the real deal but 1/3 being ready to go isn’t a stat we can afford.
