All in all conceding injury time goals is a gut wrencher but we just didn't play well enough. We barely created any chances

Bissouma was never a yellow, son getting smacked in the face, Porto having his ankles raked, and countless others, and no cards? Also extra 2mins on top of 6mins aswell.
Wolves scored bang on 90 and the game kicked off again at 91 so yeah time was always going to be added on.

I hope Ange will be braver at home and play one of the kids instead of Dier. We can’t play with that little pace and bravery going forward. I get trying it away but at home we need to be so much braver.

Too many players were shite today. We deserved nothing in the end. We lost that game. 2 shots on target in the whole game is terrible.

There’s a bit of that, but there’s been plenty more bad luck on top. The first team was decimated. It’s not the result, or the late goals. The whole performance was very unlike anything we’ve seen under Big Ange. Hard to get a tune out of a team patched up like we were. Need the international break to get our ducks in order.
What can the international break realistically do? We have no capable depth outside of the wings, and all of them are injured. Aside from that, we have no back up CBs, no capable DMs aside from Bissouma and Sarr, one striker and then Lo Celso and Bentancur on the comeback trail as CMs.

The reserves simply aren't capable of playing the style. There's no ducks to be put in a row without January investment or the return from injury of the key guys.

So I guess those two goals mean Dier and Davies are crap when they were comfortably our best players for 90 minutes? Wolves had the ball but barely created anything until that ridiculous Sarabia goal. And Hojbjerg tried to play a stupid pass and it lead to the second.

We scored early then created sod all and couldn't hold on to it. Up until the Sarabia goal I thought we dealt with things well all things considered.

Dier can play well for 89 minutes but he will always always make a key mistake

Love reading some of the comments when we lose. Proper knee jerk shit.

We lost that game in the midfield and didnt create enough chances. Wolves were more aggressive. They deserved the win. Forget about blaming the ref (wasn't that bad considering some of the others we've had this season), or the B team centre backs who actually had a decent game.

Forget it and move on to the next one.
It's not knee jerk at all. Been saying it since Monday night that we couldn't play this way with those players.

It is the second game week in a row where we have failed to control the game in key moments. When a team is laying on the pressure, we panic and run around like headless chickens. All we had to do today is simple passes and calm it all down and we wouldnt have lost. This is such a simple thing to do but nobody out there on the pitch can seemingly do it and its so frustrating. The leadership team need a big word with themselves imo.

What was it Ange said, “If you want change, change things…” We’re not gonna do anything in the next few matches playing the same busted flushes.

Results like this will continue to happen, I just don't want people complaining about Ange's playing style...yet. He doesn't have the squad he requires yet, and we are in it for the long haul. (y)

It's so hard to think like this but we need to see this game and this season as building for future years. Every game will become clearer and clearer what players need replacing

So what you're saying is that we were dominated by a significantly inferior team? I'm actually more frightened of that than I am by our reserves making errors under pressure.

I’m a huge fan of Big Ange but at 1 nil up with 10 minutes to go, I would have been throwing Ashley Phillips on rather than Bryan Gil.

We’re missing players and that’s fine, but that last ten mins or so… it doesn’t matter which players are in, such stupid, stupid choices.

That passage of play right near the end, Davies, Dier, Royal and I think it was Hojbjerg playing a terrible set of passes to each other, none of them had it under control, every pass was under hit, one of you clip it upfield and take the draw.

One of them under hits it, Wolves get a shitty foul and they’re away. Davies and Hojbjerg tracking back and as the Wolves player cuts in they both stop and out their hands on their backs, Lemina just runs past them. Fucking moronic defending.

Davies had been brilliant till that point as well.
All those players mentioned are not good enough and need to be out by next summer.

I thought Davies had a good game but the problem is that his, and Dier's, mere presence makes the rest of the team uneasy and results in Ange's instructions going out the window.

The CM3 that started today was more befitting of Mourinho than Postecoglu. If Gio isn’t doing enough to earn a spot in the team then Kulusevski has to drop into the No. 8 position and Gil needs to come in on the wing. We cannot play another match so utterly bereft of creativity.

This is the first time this season I have seen so many balls played out from the back that went out. I wonder why...
