Dismal. Worst first half at home of the season.

Buendia and Bailey have been absolutely shocking. 0/10 each. Luiz and Kamara utterly anonymous. Matty Cash hasn’t got a clue where he’s supposed to be or what he’s supposed to be doing. Emery sat down for almost the entire first half. Load of shit all round.

Pat Murphy doesn't half slate us when we're not playing well. The glee doesn't seem too far away.

These dogs have won 3 matches all year (Forest, Soton and Everton) and we are gift wrapping 3 points for them.

Jesus, that's some fixture congestion.

They weren't booing, transfer window is open and the fans were letting Unai know who he should sign, Dan Burn.

Never mind the old Villa, that was 2015-16 vintage.

Clueless all over the pitch.

Getting outnumbered in midfield so really need to get Dendoncker on as he knows these and he'll add height and muscle.

Game is crying out a bit for Ings aswell imo to buzz around their CBs. Collins has Ollie in his pocket so far and it's far to say the Cash right wing experiment has been a mess so he needs to go back to RB.

Not good at all, these sort of performances and eventual results are why we never finish in the top half of premier league anymore. It needs to change.

Bailey has a heart the size of a pea.

Talented player on his day but hides when given the chance. Loses his confidence at the first couple of setbacks.

The only positive to take from that half is it's only 0-1. Expecting and hoping for a completely different second half.  Bailey, Buendia and Cash could have no arguments whatsoever for having been hooked already. Can't believe how well Wolves have played, look really up for it and have pissed us off our own park

Really poor first half, totally outnumbered in midfield which has let them dominate the play. Cash doesn't seem to know what he's meant to be doing, Buendia and Bailey are worse than us having 9 men because they're not just barely invovled, when they do get invovled in the play they're giving the bal laway really cheaply.

I don't think anyone else is playing poorly but 3 players struggling is crippling at this level.

Wolves have been decent and pressed pretty well but we're making them look a much better side than they would be if we were 'with it'.

Well that was shit. He needs to change it. Cash in MF isn't working. Players look lost.

This is 1000% on Emery.  Totally outnumbered in the middle and and yet his tactics seem more about keeping possession, repeatedly having one touch too many.  Get the ball in the damn box you fools.  Dreadful from start to finish.  Wolves should be out of sight

Bailey really does like to over complicate things.
Kamara playing further up field than Dougie makes no sense.
Cash is adding nothing to the game other than chasing shadows.
Emi B lost in the supermarket.
Watkins running around but nothing else.
Digne so far left he's almost sitting on the bench.
Young just pumping the ball down the right to nobody.
Mings, Emi and Konsa keeping us in the game.

Something needs to change.

That was poor. Nice goal by Podence. Feel confident Emery will sort it out.

It feels like they have about 8 in midfield with how they have dominated.
