Post Match EPL Wolves (H) 2-1 27th December 15:00

we are still not fit
it is incredible

jones, kerkez and finally now wirtz look like the only who can get through a full game, apart from the center backs
 
From the BBC about Wolves: “This was certainly one of their more encouraging performances this season.”

Seems like same statement applies to almost every team we have played this season. We have no ability to put people away and don’t even seem to try. We just give people hope and let them show their best selves no matter how crap they are.
 
Positives

Frimpong continuing his return to full fitness and creating the first goal
Hugo fantastic for the second and developing a lovely understanding with Wirtz
Kerkez starting to look decent
Bradley returning to fitness, he was great second half
Wirtz continuing his upward trend and really starting to shine
Gakpo back on the pitch
Chiesa getting an hour
4/6 new signings starting and looking solid with the other 3 either with huge injuries or being a back up keeper.
Winning again on a very emotional day and without our best player this season in Dom and with several injuries
Up to 4th
Unbeaten in 7 and 4 wins in a row.

Negatives

Countless, the biggest one being our frustrating slow build up play and inability to manage a lead again.

Overall a vital win and just have to look at the other games to see everyone struggled today.

City & Arsenal 2-1 wins, Fulham late 1-0 and Everton drew 0-0.

Everyone full of Turkey. 3pts the most important thing today. Onwards and upwards and no new injuries tops
 
I mean they can have the main course and a dessert but maybe leave the cigars and brandy till full time.
I put both of them away - the twats don't deserve them. And I had a couple of mouthfuls of Tiramisu, a handful of Panettone (the way it's meant to be eaten - rip the bugger apart with my bare hands whilst imagining it's Slot's head) and a piece of Roca.
 
How did Federico do? Will he be dropped for not being the Lionel Messi of our times in the first start he’s got since 2000 BC
 
Im disappointed gakpo is back, and in lw ... he hurts this team. He should be a backup to ekitike for now.

The team is trying to regain a mentality and self belief and its going to take time. String wins together and hope it clicks.

Vvd worries me - is it what we saw with mo? Or he is struggling because of ibou?

I really dont want our players - ekitike etc - diving like little bitches. Enough.

Commentator said Gakpo has about 1 goal in every 3 games (150 games, inc. subs, for us) that's pretty damn good for a winger not called Mo Salah.
 
Did you see Cody turn onto his left and shoot? Respect if he’s trying to develop his ability to turn both ways. Quite a dinger of a shot

He has been very poor this year and his constant desire to do the same thing on the left flank is problematic imo. The team seems to be better attacking down the flanks now ... it will stop if gakpo is there.
 
I only saw bits cos it was on my phone and I was with my brother and his 4 year old and we watched a bit of it each. Saw two good goals, that was possible, but fucking hell we like to flap it don't we
 
Scranned at Maray. That was disappointing, used to be boss that. Somehow spent big bills on some over sweet weird food. Then drank some white claw with my brother cos he's running a marathon soon. Horrible. Think the lack of good food and pints made it a weird game. Swaying on the train now and off in search of a better scran
 
Was that the first time we actually didn’t give up 2 goals with a 2-0 lead? That might be positive, except they should have leveled with unmarked header on the 6 yard line.
Spurs the week before but we were still hanging on then. Most teams going 2-0 up relax and kill the game either closing it out or scoring a few more in the space where the opposition have to go for it.

With us, we stop playing and invite pressure. Crazy
 
Completely agree. We could not even counter them in the second half. We just gave it back and said “bring it on”.
 
Chiesa was fine. Nothing special, did not regularly give the ball, worked very hard on both sides of the ball. Not found very often by teammates who mostly played the left side of the field.
He looked unfit to be fair
