KDH is not a 10 but he’s been all over the place. If he had that bit more care he would create so much.

 

We look shakey at the back and it’s mainly due to our press not working. When our pressing is bad it is scary how easy it is for teams but we’ve managed to hold on thanks to a great save from Ward and a block from JJ (think a foul would have been given against Tielemans for a push anyway).

 

Gotta get control of this game second half!

Very much agree with that, but that is exciting for us as fans, to see if he reaches that potential. De Bruyne for Man City looked like a little boy lost when he was at Chelsea, and even in his first season with Man City was good but not great. But after a few seasons he became arguably the best player the Premier League has ever seen. I don't think KDB will ever get to that level, but he has the potential to become a very good player! I would liken him to Jordan Henderson but with better technique, and Henderson has had a pretty decent career!

On the basis that we don't do game management we need to stay on the offensive

What we thinking then. Brendans coming out second half with a flat back 10. Lamp post on at 60 mins?

Danny Ward is a clean sheet fiend.

Not watching the game, but reading the comments, people are  either swayed easily by a result or these are the most ridiculous stats ever and don't represent the game at all haha

Fun fact - BT resident ref and foxestalk favourite Peter Walton was the man in black that day

[Hamilton Fox]

Great going forward, looking shaky at the back.. need to keep going forward!

[The Guvnor]

Much better, two quality goals and with a bit more composure on one or two passes in and around their box could easily be four up . Soumare getting it together, Justin and Timmy playing well with Faus organising and bossing it is making a huge difference.

We'd probably have been better off going 0-3 down at HT. At least we have history of reacting to that scoreline! 

Didn't Micky Adams make ridiculous subs in that game to turn it in your favour? So many leads were chucked away it all blends into one.

Well it’s important to have context. We’ve only had 2 shots and scored 2 goals, they’ve had 13. If we want to be sure of a win then we need to cut down the number of chances they have. Don’t think that’s an unfair criticism? 

I was speaking about my contribution. You knock yourself out with whatever you want to add

The stats are true, but they still don`t reflect the game, again, we seem intent on breaking/discrediting the stats

Scorelines have a huge effect on match stats though. If it was still 0-0, I doubt the stats would be so skewed in Wolves’ favour.

Doesn't tell the story at all. Yes they've had chances but so have we, and scored two crackers.

[Supergray22]

Footballs a funny game. We have played well in other games and just not scored and then here it’s an open game and we take our chances and wolves don’t.

People on the match thread get ahead of themselves too much, this could easily be another Brentford, Southampton, Bournemouth game

Yes we should of left Tielemans out

Yes, still would have. The amount of game time he gets the law of averages say he's bound to score or make a decent pass occasionally. It's about consistency surely, not once in a blue moon and forgiving half a season of poor performance. Was an excellent goal mind.

[justfoxes]

Just need to keep our shape use their mistakes to our advantage don’t overthink things give away silly fouls I think we’ll take the 3 points home and keep the 16th spot !

 

COME ON YOU AMAZING FOXES !

Just caught Youri's goal woweee.

 

These stats probably become more relevant the more we lose players capable of doing stuff like that.

 

Sounds like Wolves will be gassed 2nd half, so as long as Rodgers doesn't overthink it, we should be for 3 pts. Which is 2 more than I predicted from these next 4 games
