Wolves - Post match

[FoxyJim1987]

Hate to be party pooper but that was LUCKY in the extreme. Brilliant goal to win it, no question, but the same pitfalls of the whole season were evident. Slow and ponderous in possession, caught on the ball numerous times. Tielemans hopefully just rusty because he was terrible. KDH fvcked up everything he did when he came on. Daka committed 642 fouls ( I counted them) and one near the end nearly led to neves scoring the free kick. The shape and cohesion of a team was non existent at all. Soumare by the way had a good second half, but first half hour he was the usual dogshite. We cannot get carried away at all we need probably 3 more wins and make sure this wasn't a one off. Our saving grace is probably that Leeds and Everton are just as or even shitter than us meaning 4 or 6 points from the next 2 could have is in a good position.

Imagine if we’d had Ward in goal? 

Don't want to, him and Brendan has honestly ruined this season for me.

Rodgers needs locking up for life for his treatment of Soyuncu, war crime. 

 

HE PLAYED AMARTEY OVER HIM FOR MONTHS 

Think about this for a second. This whole current mess may have sprouted from this one decision.  Managerial malpractice. Anytime thinking of hiring him should think twice, just based on this.

Nobody is getting carried away just seeing positive after months of shite. I don't know how you can watch that today and not see improvements. Smith's had 2 weeks ffs.

I think soumare has the ability to up his game, I'm still not sure that KDH can. Yeah he was Luton's poty, that could be the highest level he can shine. Still not convinced.

I think he has already shown what he is capable of at this level, but he hasn’t been anywhere near good enough overall this season.

After a great win a negative post about Daka ,in all fairness he has not had a lot of game time .

Daka was woefully bad, regardless of the win had he put his weak shots away it may have been 4 goals how patient should we be with him 

[Mendi]

Huge win

Wouldn't worry about that. The fan bases at Pool and Celtic have a very poor opinion, and now he's seen to have left us in a predicament. He may get a post abroad, but it's difficult to see a PL outfit foolish enough to appoint hm.

Defensively we were 1000 times better, more composed and solid. Vards was making Vardy runs again and as a team we were more aggressive. I think you’re expecting too much too soon. From what we’ve seen previously, this was a massive positive performance. Perfect - no, but definitely an improvement. Surely even you can see the positives. Even if it’s just from Soumare performance. 
 

If you can’t see any positives from that, then there is certainly something wrong with your vision.

We’ve lost pretty much every tight game we’ve been involved in this season. Our ability to win or lose wasn’t the big thing, it was our ability to take control of a tight game, and get a win. Those things matter psychologically and to find that ability now is crucial.

These games are all about just scraping over the line nothing more.  There are still massive flaws in the side and the damage caused over the last year or so can't be undone with the same players over night but atleast were seeing more fight and togetherness and the fans are coming to life and playing their part again.

Honestly I love how much Top cares about our club. I dont think the pelters he got when we were struggling were fair to him, he was just blinded so much by Brendan's early success here that he couldn't see his many flaws, like much of our fanbase.

Wow dread to think what you’re like when we don’t win

I didn't say I didn't see anything positive. I said the performance was largely filled with the same thing we have seen all season and that one win doesn't suddenly mean we are safe and sorted. Far from it. The main positive was Soyuncu, just like at Man City, played very very well and commands the back line, wins headers, duels and is a leader. It's an absolute joke he hasn't played all season. The other positives were the fact we win and held on to win a game, and it will give them huge confidence. From their goal for the twenty minutes after that though we were shocking and a better team going forward would have done what man city did and got 2 or 3 in that spell where we were all over the place. I agree with other posters, to be missing in essence Justin, Ricardo, Evans, Barnes and Maddison is massive. To just lose Madders and Barnes who are out top scorers is huge. I feel ecstatic with the result and the table but all I'm saying is nothing is sorted at all, the next few games are still huge and we weren't brilliant today by any means.

😂😂 Just being realistic. We can't bask in this win because we need more, and we cannot forget how bad large parts of the game were. The crowd were hugely important and on side which helps, the winner took the roof off and yes the results at this stage are more important than the performance. I just hope we either stay this lucky in the next few weeks, or iron out the issues we clearly still have.

Performance wasn’t filled with the same. Ball moved quicker, players pressing earlier, movement was better. It will take longer than 2 weeks to correct a season of wrongs and will take time for players to get out of a mind set coached in them for years. Yes, we need to cut out individual mistakes, yes Daka wasn’t brilliant but even with that we won. Previous games we have seen heads drop after conceding. It did for a while, then the confidence came back. We got into better positions going forward. Any other time we have lost. Shows there is some grit in there that Smith and team have found. 
 

not perfect but certainly better. 3pts for a start.

He is learning on the job, sooner than what he thought. He should have got rid of Rodgers sooner, but hopefully we can survive and move forward again 

[SheppyFox]

I have to say, I expected us to beat wolves and I expect us to stay in this league. We are a top 10 side, that unfortunately has had the enthusiasm and confidence leeched from within, by BR. This win will springboard us. PS. Smithy I love your style, more of the same please with your all out attack!

First half, I agree.

Second half, I completely disagree.

The introduction of KDH made a big difference imo.

We suddenly had more of an engine to get forward and to look like scoring.

KDH gets pelters on here. But FT can be the gift that keeps on giving.

Today in the second half I thought he made a huge difference.

He was pretty woeful and I’m a fan. I definitely think it was the right call to bring a cm on though

We should have won by more.. So I don’t really get where you are coming from? 

[Lcfc-1992]

That boy Castagne makes Chilwell look shite 

[hejammy]

Cags is just the best CB we have at this club and it's criminal what BR had done to him. Him and Ward could be the sole reason why we are where we are. 

 

Much better today. Not perfect by any stretch but you can see the signs. 

 

Youri was absolute dog shite today. It's a good job Nacho took that penalty as Youri would have missed and the crowd would have lynched him after that calamaty for their goal. 

 

KDH just needs some time out of the team.

 

Daka.... What has happened to him? He's just so soft. His shot today in the box summed him up. My 2 year old neice has a stronger shot than that.

 

Best CB partnership we've seen probably all season with Cags and Faes. Didn't really put a foot wrong. 

 

Nacho has to start every game we have left. No question about it. 

 

Oh and what a save from the free kick!

Mmmhhh…. Sounds a bit brexity to give you a rep, but I like the sentiment 👍🏼 

Haha. I am absolutely anti Brexit and more intellectual than pashun merchant but Brendan Rodgers sucked the soul out this club and it's good to have it back with some managers with charisma and motivational skills in place .

I'm usually a massive defender of KDH I love him. The fact he never stops running, the fact he cares so much, and last year and the start of this season he was outstanding. But his performance today was dreadful. His miss, his misplaced passes and touches. Having said that Youri wasn't much better at all, it's a good job Soumare had a storming second half. KDH is extremely one footed, he has to turn in a circle to get it on the left all the time, and too often in recent games has not played well.
