Wolves 1-3 Chelsea verdict thread.

If you want to try a back four and you want to take a look at next season then why aren't you playing Pedro Lima at RB. You decided to recall him, you decided to keep him here, at least work out where he is.

Do not pick 34 year old Matt Doherty in a position that he couldn't play when he was 22. Doherty is fucking wank, a disgrace and has absolutely no business being at Wolverhampton Wanderers but that is on the manager for picking him.

Hwang has contributed absolutely nothing in open play since Edwards came in so why does he keep picking him? Like every week? We even have alternatives now.

These are red flags. There are some issues with the squad that he can't solve and obviously the season was beyond meaningful salvage before he even turned up, but these are bad, bad decisions.

We need better than this before you get given the opportunity to restart in the summer.

Agreed, I think there's a good chance Edwards is sacked before the summer window. There are a lot of queries over his ability - and that back four today was an absolute joke.

I'm only joking. Although I am going to question your mental health actually choosing to support Wolves.

To quote a former coworker (Villa supporter from near Birmingham IIRC) when he found out I supported Wolves, “you get dropped on your head as a kid?”

And I did! I don’t think the two are related, but who could say

I think that's wishful thinking. I agree with the sentiment, but I think they are too invested. Shi II knows less than Shi I and Jackson scoffed at the possibility on the WM car crash interview. The only scenarios I can see that possibility happening is if we actually appoint a football CEO, or we get less than 12 points and the fans turn on him. I can't see the first happening and not going much these days I don't have a decent handle on the second, although Twitter is generally more supportive that TWF.
 
15 points is the minimum that Edwards should get if he's to keep his job. If he can't manage that he deserves to be sacked, but probably won't be.

When I saw we'd gone to a back four I said it was brave or stupid and almost certainly the latter and so it proved. How anyone can think it's a good idea to play a different formation for the first time with two debutants and against a CL level team beggars belief. I know that Chelsea took their foot off the gas but the difference in the two halves had to be seen to be believed. The key point to take from today is it provided irrefutable proof that Doherty and Hwang should never play for us again.

There have been so many calls for 4 at the back on here and when he (RE) goes with 4 nothing but criticism. IMO it wasn't the formation that was the problem, it was the chosen players. There has to be an instruction from the owners to start Hwang for other reasons. For what it's worth I thought Hugo did well to restrict our Pedro, we know how dangerous he can be. I also maintain that the first contact for the second penalty was outside the box, unwise, yes but once again the ref f'kd us along with the first penalty being soft and the numerous times Chelski players went down with minimal contact. Sa could have seen red for his High foot and an elbow in the face didn't warrant a foul

Glimmer of hope in that we binned Lambert after 6 months… but I don’t know if that decision was made by someone who’s no longer with the club.

I'd like to see us go to four at the back but doing so against a top team, with two players making their debut and Doherty at RB is not the time.

Hwang starting still is a mystery. Doc I get, clearly keeping Lima is intent from Edwards going forward. No way Doc or Hwang are mainstays next season though. Mistakes aside I thought we played well against a very strong Chelsea team (5th in League let's not forget)

On Hwang there isn't, otherwise Vitor would have played him

First contact isn't the law on penalties, if it's viewed to have continued in the box then it's a penalty.

On the formation, it is the problem when you don't have the players for it. The issue used to the centre halves, now it's the full backs. If.you don't play Doherty, you play someone else not good enough. The team that started the second half should ae started the game.

Bueno was OK ,but they didn't really attack much down that side. He offered nothing offensively first half.when that's his strength because of where he was playing
