Wolves are always stodgy but we’re helping them. Never mind the final third, we can’t make a decent pass in the middle of the park. Did these lads even have a pre-season?

We look like a team lacking fitness, sharpness, intensity, creativity, confidence, intelligence, speed and strength.
Other than that it’s been a decent 37 minutes.

You get your hopes up and get fed the same old shite. ☹️

We will hit a purple patch no doubt but fundamentally this team hasn’t changed at all, maybe Hojland coming in will help but some of these are weak and brain dead.
I know I know we’re only 40 mins in to new season but it all looks very familiar so far
Formation is wrong, should be 4-3-3 with more emphasis on midfield

Look like it’s the first time they’ve played together…ever

This looks like a team that still haven’t addressed the glaring weaknesses in the final third.

I was talking to a colleague of mine who is a major Chelsea fan, but despite that is quite knowledgeable and sensible. He said he’s gutted Mount left, but that we’d struggle to slot him in effectively into our midfield as his best role is an odd “neither 8 nor 10”. That’s only part of our problem but I think it’s a valid point. Midfield could be an ongoing issue, even if we get a CDM type in before the window shuts.
Some signs of improvement here, hope ETH figures things out for the second half.

Looks like a kick about in the park the morning after a sesh. First game of the season or not but this is beyond dire.
2nd half fc here we come.

The fact that we’ve had 2 defenders booked is wholly indicative of how little protection is coming from midfield.

That was awful.
Bar AWB and Antony(in patches) the whole team where shite from start to finish.

Get Garnacho off, that was his worst 45 I've seen.

Marcus Rashford is an invisible man when he plays as striker though I doubt any striker would make a difference at the moment. Just don’t create anything. I stand by the fact that Mason Mount was the wrong signing. It’s like when he played for England. You hardly notice him. Garnacho is better as an impact sub right now.

Mount is a good player but I always thought he played in pretty much the same position as Bruno so not sure what the plan was exactly.
