Wolves v Manchester City comms thread.

[Fifty Niner]

In serious need of some pace at the back this summer

Been saying that as well as the need for new blood in midfield and up front since we got promoted pretty much!

 

[Elvis Wolf]

Thrash Norwich and all will be forgiven!!

 

[WickedWolfie]

Dr Bruyne joint leading goal scorer at Molineux this season. Heaviest defeat since we came back up. Nice one Lage you ****ing clown! Could have easily been nine

 

[AndyY]

Man City are fantastic but this is embarrassing, could easily be 7 or 8. We look like a lower league side in a cup tie.

The gap between the top 2 and the rest is massive. The gap between the top teams and 8th is gigantic, this is what happens.
And I still think we should have had two penalties

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Positive - fans have been terrific tonight.

Defensive have genuinely been atrocious to a man.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Nice to see how upset Donk looks there

 

[jrpb-3]

last min of injury time 5-1 up nd they're still pressing for a 6th

 

[xbomber]

Bruno was anonymous tonight. No presence at all.

 

[Oh Robbie Robie]

And on the bright side... we still haven't conceded more than 5 goals in the Prem. Happy days!
Lord knows how that didn't happen tonight though.
Well done City. Excellent. F you Liverpool. We don't want you to win the title.

 

[suffolkwolf]

Zero cohesion or strategy on our part. lol rudderless.

To be fair we could have had two pens - but we never get the rub.

 

[Mighty Thor]

Replace Hwang? We've just signed him haha

Can we just give him away then?

 

[Oliwolf44]

New defence needed. Knew that before losing to the best side in the world. Weve been saying it for nearly 4 yrs.
A complete new spine would also be good if we had the cash

 

[WWFC4EVA]

Like these same players did last season? COuld always get Bielsa in, Leeds are exciting to watch.

If the only argument for keeping him is that there's worse options out there, it speaks volumes for Bruno, in my opinion!

 

[Sutton Wolf]

Taken apart again. Doesn't help when you have forwards that can't control the ball, and midfielders that are a yard off the pace.

Got to put this in perspective though. City are very good, one win off the title, and our season was over weeks ago.

Looking forward to the summer. Hope for some fresh legs. Need to replace Saiss, Jiminez, Dendonker, Hwang...

Add Boly and Cody to that list

 

[Oh Robbie Robie]

Closest Donck has been to KDB all night.

 

[Benny78]

Entertaining game, City and KDB too good. Hopefully used as a blueprint for us to refresh the squad over the summer break.

 

[Mighty Thor]

Nice to see how upset Donk looks there

Look how knackered KDB is there compared to dendonker!!!! Lol.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Was thinking the same! But Nuno was tired and the team reflected his demeanour. This is Bruno's first season and to get walloped by an admittedly great Man City team is very poor. Not what you want to see when there are apparent aspirations for regular European football.

Tbh, I don't really mind about Man City/Liverpool schellackings. It's the abject performances to lower mid-table/bottom 3 sides in the last few months that has concerned me.

 

[Nige]

**** me they want me to pay £1000+ to watch **** like this next season... and they have a waiting list.. The world has gone mad..

Based on this performance we may need to replace Ruben Neves as well. Looked like the slowest player on the pitch

 

[oldgold4ever]

Coady and Boly are in horrible runs of form at the moment. Two of my favourite players ever but there is definitely a discussion to be had around the defence next season.

I doubt either of them will be here next season.

 

[North West Wanderer]

You can when you are safe from relegation and not going to qualify for Europe.

In which case I struggle with the majority of views in here right now. Didn’t we want an experiment?

 

[Perton Wolf]

I repeat -
You cannot experiment against such a good side at this stage in the season. Lage is the only one I hold culpable.

Does anybody know what formation we were playing? Chiquinho seemed to be much further forward than a wingback but there was no corresponding player doing that on the left.

 

[Wolves4Life85]

Mate I agree with what your saying, I can't say otherwise....however, I don't think vitinha would have bridged that gap right now, he's simply not ready. Now to say in the next two years he can't that's another story but right now and last season no, but should we take another Fabio Silva gamble or better yet can we?

I'd swap Fabio for Vitinha right now, Raul had been poor since that superb goal against Saints. Nothing to be positive about at all and that's disappointing. Ppl go on about MGW and the season he is having, yeah great but he can't do that for us cos it doesn't suit him the way we play and we'll always over look him for some Portuguese player. This club need to take a look at themselves, they have made some very bad decisions in a short space of time and it's biting them in the ****.

 

[WWFC4EVA]

Masterclass from City!
No shame in losing to that side but it's how it happens!

 

[Contrarian]

Losing 5-1 to Albion is not even on the same planet as losing 5-1 to Man City. At least we got 1.

 

[MelbourneWolf]

Should make a cheeky bid in the summer for that De Bruyne fella Looks like he can play a bit. Bruno could make him a defensive mid

 

[Starsky]

Wouldn't want any of the current CB's anywhere near the first team next season.

 

[Contrarian]

Why Vitinha? There are other strikers across Europe way better than Fabio - most of which wouldn't even cost us £35M Probaly at least 50 of them.

 

[Slothmonkey]

For me when I saw the the line up I thought we were going 4 3 3. Then I saw Jonny at rcb and Chiquinho at rwb and instantly knew that we had a long night ahead of us.

Does not make sense playing a player out of position when you have two cbs on the bench.

Due to the right side defensively being unsure meant it pulled both Coady and Boly across to cover and opened up space that City exploited.

With Raul and Neto not being able to control anything and not showing outfall have been limited. Midfield were non existent. Poor showing. For me now just want final whistle at Liverpool. Last 4 months have been drab. We need an overhaul if we are starting next season with Coady and Boly then something has gone very wrong

 

[Royal wolf]

I doubt either of them will be here next season.

Neither would bother me. Think they have both ran their course

 

[Ned]

Can we just give him away then?

Can’t we just break him somehow and take him back under warranty?

 

[Ian C]

You’re a consistent on the matchday thread. Always on the opposition bus.

Like I said, jog on.

 

[Oh Robbie Robie]

In which case I struggle with the majority of views in here right now. Didn’t we want an experiment?

We've given chances to younger players during the run in. It's cost us but there's plenty to be encouraged by. Let's face it, West Ham have always been better than us this season and deserve that final European place.
We must remain patient. We're building slowly but surely. We can't throw money around like the top 6/7 but we have another good prospect coming through. For me, he was the best player on the field tonight.

 

[Contrarian]

Wouldn't want any of the current CB's anywhere near the first team next season.

Even though over the season as a whole, they've performed at a very high standard? What about Kilman? We lost to Man City , it's no sign that we need to throw everything out.

 

[Superted]

No disgrace losing 5-1 to that City side but it grates when at least two or three of those goals were avoidable and we had two decent penalty shouts turned down which we can be reasonably confident would have been given the other way.

I think a lot of the attacking pieces are there for nexg season but we need to sort the defence and midfield out desperately.

 

[Ditton Wolf]

No excuses we played a an excellent footballing side who ran us ragged all game. Our midfield lacks pace and we need a significant upgrade in the summer.
Defensively we were all over the place and could have been more goals against us.
Positives Chinquino again lively and Nouri excellent.

 

[lone_wolf]

If we lose vs norwich time to give bruno the heave ho?

 

[Starsky]

Yeah, sorry forgot about Kilman, you're right.

The rest are a mess though.

 

[binners]

Not even Max
