It’s always on the manager. He says he tells them to keep going forward even in last 5 mins when we are 1-0 up. This means we are always liable to ship late goals. I said earlier this season that I hoped he would not turn out like Bielsa who did a great job at Leeds and then halfway through his second season in prem lge everybody seemed to work them out. They were getting stuffed 4 5 and 6 goals.Credit to Wolves, they had a good plan, executed it perfectly and had top performances from Dawson and Neto. We've created some chances, but were too slow.
The real problems were in defense and usually it's on the manager. We've lost Porro and Udogie, but their replacements are supposed to be better defensively. Still, we've let Wolves had 12 shots and some of them were clear cut chances from just couple of yards. There has to be some changes to the system. Arsenal and City play with four centre backs right now. In Football Manager terms, too many of our players are on attacking mentality.
No doubt we have better class players than Leeds but some of these recent games are very similar, especially the home games. We’ve got away with it in most games but not today.
We will have to turn up in that Villa game or 4th place will be gone. They are playing well again in spite of injuries.
I have read various stories that we will probably pay the 15m for Werner, seriously, he has shown very little.
