It’s also down to our dribbling ability though
This.

We really lack players who face up their opponents everytime they get into wide areas or around the penalty. We tend to shift the ball from side to side instead of one player taking a man on as soon as they receive it.

Johnson does face his man up at times, or at least has started to a bit, but still not nearly enough.

Hardly any of our players attack their full back on the first touch. It's get the ball under control, see if you can shift it one way, if the defender is 'too set' then the player passes instead.

Drives me insane. When we play fast one touch and attack the man we can cut through with ease.

But these days we mostly take a touch while standing still, the defense sets, and we pass back, rinse and repeat.

It's easy to defend against too

Luton really had to win today. Just not good enough.

Burnley will have false hope but they've got United, Newcastle, us and Forest. They needed that win last week.

Feels like that match was Luton's last chance to save themselves. I guess they still have to play Everton and they're fucking tragic but it's looking grim, despite them looking like they could've come away from most of their recent losses and draws with more points.

Arsenal looking a lot more intense than City did, here. Hopefully Wolves ride out the start, and Arsenal's legs go. 🙏

about to say, Wolves looks tired as hell. WTF is happening, just lay back and counter like they did against us and all other top 6 teams. This game they try to pass around and they look crap at it
