winteriscoming Posted 12 January 2021 Posted 12 January 2021 Did I miss something? Pogba motm. Can’t remember him doing a great deal in the game. Commentator at the end then says a special strike from pogba. 😂 😂 It was deflected.

In fact that's the main reason Nuno is trying to get us play differently so that doesn't happen. It's a combination of things this season. Losing Jimenez, having more injuries to first team players than usual, changing the style of play, playing 4 at the back more often. Not to mention playing by far the most U21 players in the league. Both the fans and the owners have recognised this season is going to be one of transition for us. Thought you played quite well and were a lot more attacking than when I’ve seen you previously this season. Everton took their chances though and closed it out second half. 1

Sunbury Fox Posted 12 January 2021 Posted 12 January 2021 @TheBear, didn't watch your game. What were Everton like? See they had only 5 shots in the whole game and assume the winner again came off a set piece for them? 1

They took their main chance which was a tricky one but a good finish, and then scored from 2nd phase cross from a corner.

What a bloody hard question, cannot see Man U still competing for the title come may, but I don’t think we will neither, so my opinion I think Liverpool will click into gear soon, and we will not stop them, Man U are more of a threat to us for top 4, Edited 12 January 2021 by Kingleicester 1

Any team that can afford to spend £35m on an 18 year old has no right to label something a transition season. That implies you’ve had to sell and reinvest in new young players. Just admit it, the Portugal project has hit a few bumps this season. You’ve sold a quality right back to Spurs and replaced him with a £30m donkey. You sold Jota who even Liverpool can’t cope without. Nuno has then preceded to try and fix something that wasn’t broke for the sake of “not getting found out”... If we’d shit the bed as much as you have this season I can promise you I’d be being much more honest about ours and our managers failings. If you’re going to contribute as much as you do on another teams board, at least know when to be pragmatic. 1

I've been shot down by some for saying it, but I find Everton unremittingly dull. Ancelotti, who I quite like to be fair, has turned them into a 1980s Serie A team. They're massively over performing against the stats so hopefully they'll drop off eventually. Edited 12 January 2021 by Sunbury Fox 1
Hammo Posted 12 January 2021 Posted 12 January 2021 1 minute ago, The Bear said: I just think he's been thrown in too early. The football brain is there and he's had a couple of decent chances, but physically He's not ready. We weren't crap tonight either. The xG was 1.20 to 0.27 in our favour. Conceding from set-pieces is becoming an issue for us. I was rooting for you. I enjoy watching Wolves play, especially Neto and Traore (when he is on song), but the longer the game went on, the fact that you were effectively playing with ten men was inevitably going to cost you. If Fabio Silva eventually comes good, I’ll gladly eat my words, but he looks a complete dud to me. 1

Both the fans and the owners have recognised this season is going to be one of transition for us. For me as someone looking in from the outside I see it like this. Wolves has a very particular system that they played and played it well. It was defensive, quite boring but effective. Towards the latter end of last season teams had started to get to grips with the system and it was becoming less effective. Nuno has had to change the system which has exposed the flaws in the players ability. This coupled with the loss of Docherty and Jimenez has lead to the demise of wolves for me. I also believe that the recruitment strategy is flawed. Signing players who aren’t very good (semedo) and those that are too young (Silva) just because an agent tells them too is asking for trouble. 1

If you’re going to contribute as much as you do on another teams board, at least know when to be pragmatic. You're welcome to your opinion but but I don't agree whatsoever. What we spent on Silva is irrelevant. And this season has nothing to do with him. The "bumps" you mention have mainly been stuff out of our control, like injuries. Changing formation and style was a conscious decision from the manager and he'll ultimately be judged on that. Doing it during a pandemic with no pre-season may be a poor decision in hindsight for sure. And Doc isn't a quality RB! He's a shite RB who happened to fit our very specific wing-back system. He's barely played for Spurs recently because he can't play in a four. Semedo had been here 6 months and is still too early to judge but he looks decent going forward and is much better on the ball that Doc. Jota went because it was Liverpool, no bones about that. Though he had started to go stale for us. The fans certainly weren't up in arms about it. 1

RowlattsFox Posted 12 January 2021 Posted 12 January 2021 Spurs and Man City win tomorrow as expected then we have 4 teams on 32 points. Really interesting period for us.

Signing players who aren’t very good (semedo) and those that are too young (Silva) just because an agent tells them too is asking for trouble. You've picked put two players there who've barely been at the club 5 mins. And one of them is 18 and shouldn't be playing yet. Probably why we've recalled Cutrone. Our recruitment policy is clearly trying to emulate someone like Dortmund. Lots of highly rated U21 players to blend into the team when ready. Kilman, Hoever, Ait-Nouri, Vitinha, Otasawie, Neto, Silva. All of those are getting minutes and/or breaking through to be regulars this season. Sky had an article the other day that said we have given double the amount of PL minutes to U21 players than anyone else this season. The long term strategy is pretty clear IMO.

Koke Posted 12 January 2021 Posted 12 January 2021 21 minutes ago, Hammo said: Quite. Playing him is costing you points. I’m astonished by his lack of quality. He doesn’t seem to have anything that warrants such big money being paid - no technique, no pace, no eye for a goal. Unlike Pedro Neto, who has all of those qualities. I disagree. He is 18 and his movements off the ball and link up play is decent. How many 18 year olds play regularly in the Premier League? Very few. You have to be an exceptional talent like Fabregas, Rooney and Rashford to be playing regular PL football at 18. Fabio Silva isn't on that level but I see talent in him. I think he will be great when he is 22. 1
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 12 January 2021 Posted 12 January 2021 That Semedo has won a cereal box competition to be a footballer, he's really quite bad. 4
