Pants performance. To be honest they often seem to play like that under Jose, Mason and now Nuno. Late Poch too come to think of it.

Always great to get 3 points but if last season taught us anything, it’s that results eventually catch up to performances.
The reality is if we play like that all season we’ll come 8th at best.
Defence - The lack of ball players is causing us all sorts of problems. None of the 4 (5 including the keeper) are confident on the ball, and that makes it so easy for the opposition to win the ball off us with a simple press. There’s a lot of love for Reggie on this forum but his defensive awareness is so fucking bad.
MF - Similarly the MF lacks ball players. The trio also felt very distant to me too. Didn’t appear to be a unit like it did against City.
Attack - Son looked injured to me. He was off the pace. Couple of good moments from Bergy. It was all counter based though.
Tactics - I hated them personally. This to me looks a really weak Wolves team. To see us so deep, with no press and lacking any control of the ball brought back some horrid memories from last season.
We don’t have especially good footballers in this team, we have to play high up the pitch with intensity. It’s surely our only route to success.
On a positive note I think we’ve been poor away to Wolves every game since they were promoted (unless I’m forgetting something) so the 3 points are a blessing.
6 from 6 so far, but so much for us to work on.

Not convincing at all
Last 15 mins much better (when Kane/Gio came on)
We were too deep and too on the ropes for too long.
I want to see a bit better football than that.
I'm hoping its just the case of needing Kane to return + a few new faces.
At least the defensive errors are less even if Sanchez (1st half) and Dier (2nd half) had their poor moments.

I don't blame him or even Levy at this point, tbh (and Nuno hasn't seen enough of the clownshow he's capable of).
We know he and Dier are shit and will fuck us as the season goes on.
But as soon as they have the odd stable performance the fans are all over social media saying they're amazing and we should keep them and Levy sees an oppo to keep cash in his pocket.
I hate to say it but he’s not good enough for this level.
Saw patrici on side line getting involved passionately in game. Well done mate.
I wouldn’t say we deserved the win but there were signs of improvement on last season. I liked how we kept on attacking until the final minute and after the introduction of Kane we looked like the better side. I would like us to use more short passes and try and hold onto the ball better, instantly when Lo Celso came on you could see that was the message from the bench. End of the day 6 points is a great start so far, we still need some new signings but regardless of what happens it won’t be as dull as the last 18 months.
PornHub link?The best sex.
Yes, yes, yes. I know that's 3 times now but am a few beers in, waiting for the roast, made homemade crumble and am a beer fuelled comedian
Far too harsh but entitled to your opinion.
He's definitely good enough for this level (in my humblest of opinions)
I thought our transition from defence to attack was very good
Now all we need is to transition to our own attack instead of the opposition
Although we were poor the team are certainly fighting for everything, we need to add some quality badly though
Also let's not forget Jimenez is a brilliant striker with Fantastic movement, we done well
Now let's get afew signings in and out

Cannot do a huge clear out in a market where barely anyone is spending money.
Been mentioned earlier on in the thread, but remember last week against Man City and how intense the crowd was for that game.
Basically we had that today... but were on the receiving end of it.
Think the fact we stood up, battled well and played more than a good enough game to win the match.
Probably areas to work on, but we certainly created more than our fair share of chances in that second half.

At times we did keep the ball really well through but we struggled to do it all the time because you could tell we was hesitant to commit to many forward Incase Traore got to much space. Our CBs and FBs obviously had instructions to stay back Incase they broke on us
The the one time we did get get forward in numbers and gave it away they got there only chance of the game.
We wasn't as bad as people made out had the same number of shots on target and 2x as many clear cut chances despite the possession being 42-58 to them.
If traore could shoot/cross they would have killed us but also if he could shoot or cross he would be at Barca still and there main man so
Kane alone offered much more threat than the front 3 today tbh
Don’t think he will make it here. But we need him in the squad until we get someone better.
