Lead in our boots and our arses again. Most of them can barely muster a run, for what reason who knows.

Looked really shaky and lacking in any precision quality or intensity across the team. Sanchez and Perisic look rusty, the midfield is getting outnumbered again and Wolves always have a spare man, whilst the front three again have been quite simply dog turd (two and a half games now for Kane and Son) and you can't do anything if they don't show up.

We have got to buck our ideas up or we will get done over. Wolves only really had a few moments in that half, but you could see a bloody nose coming.
Wolves haven't even been that good. If they step it up a gear we could be on the end of a real battering.

With PEH on a yellow, we should bring Bissouma on for PEH, Lenglet on for Dier, and Richarlison on for Son. Or Doherty on for Emerson.

We should not be having to change our formation to cope with Wolves at home. Our front 3 have been abysmal in terms of energy. Our midfield aren’t keeping the ball effectively enough, both our wingbacks haven’t offered threat and Dier is constantly making stupid dinked passes over the top whenever he carries the ball out of defence. We’ve got one of the best front 3’s in Europe and Wolves defence have been on the beach so far. If you can’t be the better side in this game we may as well abandon 343 completely because everyone is going to just play all their ball players against us after these last 7 days.

I said I would bring on Lenglet & Bissouma for Davies & Højbjerg and wait 10-15 minutes to see if Son plays better before bringing on Richarlison

But thinking about it Richarlison should come on for Emerson, put Kulusevski RWB

In certain cases I don't see the point in 3 forwards if we can barely get enough control of the game to involve them. I'm still a bit baffled as to why the 3-5-2 is neglected so much.

Kulu dropping deeper helped him see some of the ball. Wonder if Doc could come on? as others have said Royal keeps breaking up play. Sonny not on it either. I dunno ??‍♂️.. just feels like the Chelsea game at mo

I know he's not on the bench and his time will come, but I'd love to see Spence marauding up and down the right, like Walker used to.

Very flat atmosphere here today.

Performance has been under par so far but crowd needs to help the team more too, it works both ways.

Wolves have outnumbered us in the middle again just like Chelsea did last weekend. I think we need a better plan B, perhaps 3-5-2, if not then an early goal 2nd half or Richy and others on early in the half to up the energy please.

Wolves don’t roll over for many teams but they can be got at.

I can't believe we didn't sign a RWB. Emerson gets put in good positions 15 times a game and makes something happen once if he's lucky. It's an incredible waste of possible attacks.
Its centrehalfs we need. We playing 3 at the back because they get exposed in a 2 yet they cant pass the ball or bring the ball forward so no idea what they are actually good at. Sanchez and davies should be pushing up the pitch when we have the ball but they havent done it once first half.

We don’t need to bring off son, make the change we made at Chelsea last week but make it richarlison on for Emerson instead of last weeks move (sess)

Blame Hojbjerg and Bentancur all you like but the fact remains, teams are working out that to neutralise us you flood the midfield and we have no outball.
It's a little alarming that it's that simple to stop our gameplan.

Bentancur and Kulusevski good. The rest uninspiring. Tactical approach is off again way too passive we should be pinning Wolves in.

Disagree with both. Bentancur’s been running around in circles chasing everything and leaving big gaps in the process that Wolves have strolled through. Kulusevski’s barely had anything.

No one’s had a good game. Perisic probably best of a bad bunch:
