Newcastle result discussion....

[SmiffyWolf]

We may as well get Tony Pulis in as we are similar to his dross style at the moment.

 

[JOSWolf]

I would say so yes.

Really? I cant see it at all. We look like a side with no identity.

 

[Wolf of Wall Heath]

Sat in the combermere contemplating life. Bruno might need to go. That was a weak Newcastle team and we just about managed a point. Some great performances, terrible subs. We have enough to beat them but we are in relegation form in the last 20 games. And I can’t see how it will change as things stand. We are re sleepwalking towards relegation.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

At 65 years old I’d be an improvement over the hapless Hwang

My point is that he’s playing instead of one those two and he is certainly an upgrade on either. He’s not quite Neto, but he has an assist today unlike any of our other forwards.

 

[Minimalist]

An assist from Hwang.
Bruno must be delighted, every manager wants their substitutes to “make a Difference”!

 

[SmiffyWolf]

I thought the point of 4-3-3 was we'd dominate the ball? If we can't do that at home against Newcastle, what is the point of it?

That's the concern for me . Lots of changes and we still look clueless when meant to be more attacking.

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

Probably worth it though if we get no more players in. Like this is the best squad we've had for a while and I think we just need a better manager. I'm sure there is someone out there who'd be willing to take on a squad of this quality?

Yeah I'd be surprised if there isn't.
Marco Rose maybe? Struggled at Dortmund but has a good CV.

 

[Bostin]

Neves Semedo and Jonny were fantastic today.

I have no idea how hwang comes on before Adama.

I noticed Adama wasn’t even warming up for the last 10 minutes.

Probably ****ed off that Hwang came on before him

 

[Wolf 82]

Really? I cant see it at all. We look like a side with no identity.

I see a player with a lot more grit and directness than Podence or Hwang.. he also got an assist today and was our biggest threat against Spurs, imo. So overall, he seems like an improvement to me.

Still, I hope to see more from him going forward.. room for improvement

 

[ANONYMOUS☆WOLF]

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out Bruno! ****ing useless, never want to see hwang in gold n black again!!!! 14 million absolutely ridiculous!

 

[Wolves4Life85]

Yeah I'd be surprised if there isn't.
Marco Rose maybe? Struggled at Dortmund but has a good CV.

Anything has to be better than what we have right now..Just someone who can get us attacking. Think our system last season was better than today's game.. nunos first season in the prem was still the best football by a long shot.

 

[Black Coffee]

Poor performance against an equally poor Newcastle we carried on from the poor performance in the second half against Preston on Tuesday.

I dunno how anyone can defend Hwang for that attempted clearance you get told at a very young age not smash the ball towards/across your own box like that.

Bruno certainly is not doing himself favours with such poor decision making with his subs. I'm not a huge fan of Traore but that was the ****ing obvious option to bring on.

Definitely could do with 6/6 in the next 2 I don't think they will sack Bruno yet but with Liverpool and Citeh after that we need points ASAP.

 

[AndyY]

Can we prise Forest’s manager away?

 

[Wolves4Life85]

Can we prise Forest’s manager away?

I was just about to say they are playing some decent stuff. I would be worried when we come up against them

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Didn't go today as family visiting. So ****ing predictable. Lage has to go. He has many good players but not a clue how to set them up. Useless coach.

 

[Steampunk Rules OK]

Time to purge Wolverhampton of Bruno and Hwang.

Couldn’t have put it better.

 

[Guzeppi]

Well at least we're helping Portugal to improve their GDP and overall balance of payment.

Wolverhampton Semaritans.

 

[Muscat]

We've got three Portugal internationals in midfield, and we've had 36% possession at home against Newcastle against Joelinton (who is superb tbf), Joe Willock and Sean Longstaff.

I thought the switch to a 4-3-3 was meant to give us the edge against sides like this, particularly at home? Given the technique of our three mids, how come we had so few spells of concerted pressure or dominance? Why were were just hoofing it from basically the 55th minute?

I find it baffling.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Nunes also needs hardening up for the rigours of PL football. Twice he chickened out of 50/50’s and some of his touches / lay offs very poor

Give him time. He’s barely arrived!

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Neves and Semedo magnificent

Lage costing us more points with his awful subs.

AgreeNeves was outstanding
Semedo very very good
Don’t blame Bruno for a stupid stupid schoolboy error from Hwang who I hope never plays for us again

 

[Wolf316]

It comes to something when everyone is in agreement that Adama should have been bought on. Really cannot understand the reasoning between bringing Hwang and Podence on and that decision cost us two points today. This may be incredibly fanciful but whilst we’re splashing the cash and showing ambition I’d be asking Poch if he fancies the job because I really don’t see Bruno lasting much longer.

 

[Wolf316]

Hwang shouldn’t have even been on the pitch and that’s on Bruno.

 

[Remus]

Bruno has an amazing ego, it was part of why his team won the Portugese league 2018-19 . He then took the team to the bottom of the the league next year. He really believes in his methods. Will it work here?

I called it at half time.. Adama would have terrorised them at the back.. just can’t understand it.

 

[Sketchead]

Hwang shouldn’t have even been on the pitch and that’s on Bruno.

I know he's everyone's latest scapegoat for everything wrong with Wolves at the moment but you're not telling me Neto, Podence or Guedes have played better than Hwang so far this season in his appearances before today?

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I just listened to Bruno telling me we controlled the game...

 

[wallace]

After a class act like Nuno we now have Bruno who is like a mad rabbit in the headlights. As it is I just hope Neves somehow stays at the club although I know he deserves better. Maybe it's because the players have to get used to each others game as the new lads settle in but to watch a side with so much talent perform as they did today made it a very hard match to watch.
.sa 6 seems a bit frantic today with some dodgy distributions putting us under pressure.
Semedo looked excellent throughout, a rolls Royce of a fb today 9
Collins 6 under pressure at times but was solid enough, a work in progress
Kilman 7 a quite effective game covering his partner as needed
Jonny 6 solid in defence
Nunes 6 clearly a skilful player will be a real star for us
Mortinho 6 what you expect, high workmate without being spectacular
Neves 10 head and shoulders above the rest, he was everywhere the big buyers will be throwing money at us for our captain
Guedes 6 some nice movement another gradually settling in
Jimenez 6 always works hard but didn't link with his partners effectively
but it's early days for the new setup
Neto 6 still getting back to his best
Clearly the team needs a few games to gell. Bruno failed to help his team with those subs. Donk needed to come on to seal the middle and a hard running strong forward to pressure the opposition. But we haven't got one yet. Early days for our new style but with all these games without a win Bruno is running out of time now.

 

[stlwildcats]

Bruno stating we played a good game. Expectations and levels are lowering. No wonder players are rarely ruthless now

 

[Ches78]

I just want to enjoy a match/performance and see us get the 3 points - can't remember the last time that happened...?

 

[Burford T Justice]

What clubs in the premier league don’t have a back up striker . Ludicrous

Manchester City?

But it is ludicrous for a club like us

 

[Rhoswolf]

AgreeNeves was outstanding
Semedo very very good

Who was the idiot that subbed the muppet on, all down to Bruno IMHO.

 

[Wolf316]

You think Hwang should have come on today? If so I think you’re the only one.

 

[lobodelsur]

We have good players, but we don’t look anywhere near a good team.

THIS.

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

The whole performance was ****, from start to finish. The worst performance so far imo. We have massive, massive issues and anyone who thinks we’re above being a relegation candidate is deluded.

They absolutely dominated us, for pretty much the full 90 minutes. We have good players, but we don’t look anywhere near a good team. I have very little confidence that Bruno Lage is the man to turn this around. Absolute garbage.

I never want to see Hwang in a Wolves shirt again.

First half was very even I thought. Second half appeared to be hanging on to what we had, not enjoyable at all.

We need at least three points from the next two games. Anything less and Bruno needs to go.

 

[SmiffyWolf]

People all have opinions . How long has Howe had to get his team playing better ?

How longs Bruno had ?

Yes they may have spent money but so have we this season.

 

[Sketchead]

You think Hwang should have come on today? If so I think you’re the only one.

I would've brought Adama and Hwang on if we were changing both forwards.

Probably personally would've only changed one, likely Adama for Neto as he was starting to lose his head on a yellow, and Trippier had tweaked his hamstring but was still marking him out of the game in every one on one situation, which was remarkable to watch.

All our forwards look miles off it but just saying Hwang has been nowhere near the worst of them so far this season.

 

[AndyY]

I really hope we don’t get a big offer in for Neves, or we are really screwed!
And we are already bottom three!!!!

 

[Lichfieldroadwolf]

What clubs in the premier league don’t have a back up striker . Ludicrous

Would have made zero difference today

He hasn't but he must be low on confidence after the miss the other night and with Newcastle constantly looking threatening it wasn’t the right time to bring him on.

Joke
For the 5th game running we have virtually disappeared second half
Fitness?
Substitutions ?
Tactics ?
Options?
Managerial nous?
Take your pick
