Martinelli not at the games today...
Don’t think him or Saka beat their man the entire half.
Lots of possession but all sideways passing. It is tricky when they’ve got 11 behind the ball but need to be more incisive in the second half

I would take Zinchenko off at half time and put Tierney in there, they are getting in over and over on the left side. Zinny is always out of position
I would Hook Vieira, he's been worse than Clive on a bad day... The cun.t keeps drifting out of position and so he's slowing our push forward
Put Zinchenko into the Left-Midfield and bring on either Tomi or Tierney at Left Back. Simples.

A new striker is a top priority in January
Toney.
He's an animal and puts away 1 out of 2 chances...
Good call

Sloppy play throught that half, Odegaard anonymous, Jesus wasteful, Vieira not up to speed and Zinchenko way too advanced when they are attacking.

Yeah, thing is both of them have got the beating of their man - They just look 'shy' of doing so...

Wolves have the bus parked meaning the 2 most important players for us are the wingers but unfortunately both have been absolutely fucking appalling.
Saka is channeling his inner Hector Bellerin passing every ball he gets backwards and Martinelli has barely had a touch.
Met a buddy this morning who said to watch watch out for a few funny results today with players phoning it in making sure they don’t get injured before the world cup.
Didn’t think much of it at the time but seeing the city result earlier and our lot strolling for 45 minutes here it has me thinking.
Is the mindset of a lot of the players to get through this game unscathed and make sure they’re on the plane during the week? Disappointing if so.
Also doesn’t help that Jesus is winning tackles on the half way line even though Wolves are camped. No need for him to come so deep when they’re set up like that.

Daddy's boy Jamie is raging that wasn't a penalty
The Wolves player was well offside, what the fuck are they waffling on about

Vieira makes Eddie look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Falls over in the breeze.

Jesus is such a good player but it's looking more and more like he is not good enough to be our no.1 striker (as in doesn't score the goals)
He's a great attacking midfielder. What we need is an outright striker to compliment him.
