Good job defending is half the game then. It’s also the half we’ve been terrible at so far this season. I know Son and Dele can play better than that, so I’m taking it as a big positive.Amazing how just winning the game glosses over the performance so much for so many people on here.
We generally defended very well, were very well organised and extremely committed, but on the ball we were fucking terrible. Son and Alli were awful, Son was particularly terrible. We rarely troubled them on the break, Wolves always seemed to have defenders back in numbers whenever we broke. We hardly ever isolated them in 3 on 2 situations etc. Moura kept losing the ball trying to dribble round the whole team (great goal though). It was one way traffic most of the game. Sure, you could say our tactics were to defend deep and counter, but there is no excuse for our attack and midfield to be so so totally pathetic, we were gifting Wolves back the ball time and again, so there's no way this can be called a great performance..
They also played through our midfield far too easily, Wolves CM were technically on another level compared to our CM of Sissoko and Dier.
There's a lot of work to do and I'm excited about seeing what Mourinho can do with this squad with a couple of reinforcements, but anyone saying today was a great performance is just getting carried away with the final score line/result.
