We are in serious trouble.i am not sure a striker helps when wide men can’t cross a ball.
Sacking the manager 2 games into the season is rarely a clever move.
We've played well in presason, created lots of chances and scored goals. Injury to Raul messed up things a bit as Podence or Hwang up front are far from ideal. Completely different types of players, and not very good playing up front on their own. Having Raul back, and hopefully another striker coming in, will change the picture.
Also, we did have a chances today. Not a lot, but enough to win. Even having Guardiola on the sideline wouldnt have made those chances go in.
Well Bruno said hopefully we can convince the players we want to join, I don’t think today will have helped with that.
after today guo needs to open the purse big timeSomething big is definitely brewing ( we hope)
Hopefully Guo gives Mendes a war chest to sort out deals for Andre Silva and most importantly Nunes .after today performance we need quality additions to get the project back on track
As others have said, I'd agree with you 100%, if it wasn't for the context of the final quarter of last season.
Sacking him now would be massively harsh, but there's no doubt in my mind that this will all end in tears in the not too distant and the longer it goes on, the less margin for error we will have.
I'm not sure the players are fully with him tbh.
You convince them by painting the picture of what this team can do with 'you' in that side. We have enough in this squad for them to see with a couple of good additions what could be acheived.Well Bruno said hopefully we can convince the players we want to join, I don’t think today will have helped with that.
Made that point Neto podence and mgw are dare I say it overrated (Neto potentially excluded)We are in serious trouble.i am not sure a striker helps when wide men can’t cross a ball.
Neto is overrated in terms of the player he is now but the player he can be we have it correct he can be absolutely world class.Made that point Neto podence and mgw are dare I say it overrated (Neto potentially excluded)
Fingers crossed ay.You convince them by painting the picture of what this team can do with 'you' in that side. We have enough in this squad for them to see with a couple of good additions what could be acheived.
Never say that to a baggies fan. That would confuse the hell out them for at least six months. Mind you it could be good fun for them after dinner at Xmas.Fingers crossed ay.
And that is why we need top coaches so that players like Neto, MGW and Ait Nouri can achieve their potential.Neto is overrated in terms of the player he is now but the player he can be we have it correct he can be absolutely world class.
He really needs to fix his decision making though pronto. Again today head down dribble, dribble, dribble.
People fairly bag Adama for that but Neto is just as bad.

Mendes also there
Where do you think mendes stays when he comes to wolverhampton?Mendes also there
I think he takes a PJ to Monaco as soon as the whistle goesWhere do you think mendes stays when he comes to wolverhampton?
If I remember correctly it was John Ruddy who said that he thought Lage was a good coach but questioned his man management skills. I think like a lot he is good for some and bad for others. I certainly did not like how he handled Hoever.In fairness Ait-Nouri has improved a lot under Lage. Neto has been injured and MGW loaned out, so difficult to judge their development.

I hope that Lage does well but I think we also need to look at the management above him if we are to move towards our otiginal Fosun adventure to the top.
I think he dives into a limo straight back to the airport, furiously sanitising his hands. Like Krusty the Clown when he accidentally tries one of his burgers.Where do you think mendes stays when he comes to wolverhampton?
With so many of the great managers it was a collabaration so they all brought something different to the table to balance things out. Shanks and many, Joe Mercer and Maalcolm Allison, Brian Claough with Peter Taylor and Fenton, etc. Ulitmately though it is the Board that create the means that they football side of the club can work with.Yes I agree..
And yes Ruddy said this, quoted below, which is interesting but also more nuanced than just him being poor or good at manmanagement.
Obviously it can't be that poor, with former players like Guedes wanting to work with him, and Felix telling Neves "You'll love to work with him".
But Ruddy probably has a point about him wearing his heart on his sleeve being both good and bad.
"
He’s a very good coach on the training pitch. Very thorough, very meticulous. His man management I think could be improved. I think in terms of the way he communicates with the players.
“I think he can be a little more approachable, if you like. But he’s very passionate as well and he’s very emotional. He wears his heart on his sleeve. You know exactly what he’s thinking, which is sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing"
Guess you were so keen to see such a post that you thought that you would do it to save time ??Hope you're right.
Just waiting for the "if Sellars is involved we'll probably end up with Long John Silver" post
In both cases the reality is a let down. A central striker of quality needed immediately.The transfer window is more exciting than our games at the moment
we need a big ****house in midfield and a batshuayi type striker. over to u jeff
Donk isnt the midfielder we need, doesnt carry the ball. Does the dirty work but thats it. Need moreI thought our midfield two of Donk and Neves did well, but Podence was a complete passenger, didn't do what he needed defensively and kept losing the ball in the middle of the pitch. I'm hoping Geudes starts there soon.
We do need a CM though!
DisagreeDonk isnt the midfielder we need, doesnt carry the ball. Does the dirty work but thats it. Need more
I dont understand. So you would drop Neves?Disagree
Think he is doing well and he’s important in this formation .
What we need is a midfielder who can carry the ball to replace podence, and a striker to replace hwang
He was and Mendes. This could mean imminent incomings or more worryinly Neves to Man Utd cos by Christ after today we could add £10m to any price previously spoke about to any player to Utd.So was guo there today? I hope he brought a war chest if he was.
Messi 5 ft 6Our forward line
Hwang 5ft 10
Traore 5ft 10
Guedes 5ft 9
MGW 5ft 8
Neto 5ft 8
Podence 5ft 5
Any ideas of a weakness ?
