What you're saying is no doubt true, but this is the post match thread. In this match , I didn't think he was great.

Just leaving the ground now, great to be back!

 

Thought that was an average performance; first half we were good though scored after they had their best spell of the game. Second half we didn’t really get going till changing to 3 at the back ti get more control. Vestergaard I thought looked good, made some great passes to start our attacks. Amartey failed his trial and will go back to being a backup CB. Shows us that CB purchase was the right call. 
 

Tactically the switch to 532 was interesting because Maddison was sacrificed for Soumare. The new signing is clearly a good player but needs to get used to the speed of the league as he dwelt on the ball too often and the game largely passed him by. 
 

That game probably should have been a draw though their chances came about from our mistakes, whereas I felt we genuinely opened them up to make ours. 
 

There were some good performances; Ricardo, Tielemans, Vardy, Soyuncu. It’s also good to get our first win and get Vardy on the scoresheet. Wolves were much better than expected, especially second half though Adama Traore must frustrate them so much! He was by far their most dangerous player and yet at the end of the day they’ve not scored and go away with nothing. 
 

Think we might see a few performances like this as we get our new recruits up to speed. We didn’t look great at the back but with Evans, Fofana and Bertrand out that doesn’t surprise me. Thomas was ok but he’s still raw and I think we are lucky Wolves swapped Traore’s flank to try to exploit the space in behind Ricardo. In the end Riccy P did great at both ends. In fact I think that was the key battle in the game which decided the contest.

Strong first half, solid and resolute second. Their biggest chances came from our own mistakes. Wolves look a much better side under Lage already. What a fantastic goal to win it.

At the end of the day the psychological boost of getting a home win so early is the main thing I'm taking away from today! Would have been massive if we'd lost IMHO.

First off a win is key. Getting off to a good start is paramount but Brendan's tactics second half worry me. We were clearly by far the superior team first half but setting up to defend second half invited Wolves on and if they had a finisher like Vardy they would have come away with the win. We should have been looking to impose our superiority on an inferior team. If Rodgers persists with this timid approach I fear he will be missing a trick and it will cost us. Not sure why he does it.

I know its Vesters first appearance but he was not very dominant in the air and is slower turning than an aircraft carrier.

Will be fine once he's got some minutes in his legs and done some proper teamwork in training. He's had no pre-season and two days with the lads. Tough time to come on aswell when we were already looking beyond shakey. He'll be fine. I mean, imagine coming on on the back-foot and having to play in a three with Amartey? Nightmare scenario really.

You’ve got to give credit to Wolves, on another day they could’ve had 3.

I half agree but I think it would be wrong not to acknowledge the improvement from Wolves in the second half. They were vastly improved and their manager deserves credit for changing their shape.

Gah. Can't believe we didn't score in that second half. Leicester weren't as good as I was expecting, and we weren't as poor as I was expecting. Thought a draw might have been a fair result overall. 

 

Ah well, at least I made a bit of cash out of it :whistle:

This is what I learnt at he KP:

Soumare needs to get up to PL speed.... but he is very promising.

Iheanacho would be a better starter at 10 than Maddison.

I cannot understand why Rodgers persists with Ayoze Perez.
