Wolves v Villa Post Match Thread

[LeonW]

We should remember that for them, this home game is their seasonal World Cup final. And we’ve struggled against them over the last 2 seasons. Bit of a war of attrition but whilst we should have won with the last header of the game, a draw is still a decent result to stem the winless run. Hopefully by next season (assuming they’re still in the premier league), this will be rejected to just another away game we pick up max points in.

A missed opportunity to take the three points, but you could see the tank was running on empty for some of our players. The second string really do need to step up in the cup games if we are not going to burn out the likes of Dougie, Kamara, McGinn and Ollie.

Also, anyone else notice how much shirt pulling has crept into the game lately and going unpunished? Ref's need to get on top of this more.

[Mister E]

Didn't really work today. McGinn out of position again too. Think our squad needs a lot of strengthening in January. Digne had a decent game but thought we missed likes of Mings, Ramsey and Buendia today. For starters, there isn't a hope Neto would have taken Mings down the line today like he did to Torres and Carlos. Emery doesn't rate the likes of the Donk, Chambers or Traore, another injury or two and we will be reliant on them.

Given the player-availability, I think we maybe should have kept Aaron Ramsey for that left MF role.

The refs “ letting the game flow” is double speak for allowing pushing and shirt pulling.
I think they have to consider sin binning to stop the incessant fouling also.

I think of all the injuries, Ramsey is a big miss for us, he is a big part of the way of how Unai wants us to play

Torres pace, I don't think it would of mattered if Mings would have been chasing Neto, he would of beaten him as well.

Good point, hopefully we will win against a good West Ham side

Neto is a very good player, but he would not have run right around Mings the way he did Torres for their goal.  No chance.

Nobody loves by Tyrone more than me, and I've been critical of Torres especially at Anfield but we've found ourselves struggling down the left flank against Wolves in every game there since we came up.

Neto is particularly rapid and skillful and bang in form, he'd do that to almost anyone one on one.

[ozzjim]

Neto is quality and one we should be looking at in Jan.

The ref made a rod for his own back with the Kamara yellow after 5 mins, which was very soft. How on earth Samedo finished the game for Wolves was beyond me.

Overall horrible game, which we should have won, and highlighted the good and bad of Ollie Watkins. Love him, but we need a better finisher in the squad at some point.

He has so far this season, on both sides of the field. Ake is not slouch for Citeh, he walked through the Liverpool defence and also did the same in other matches where the finish didn't come.

[Brend'Watkins]

I thought we kept Neto relatively quite yesterday. His effort when put through for that great chance was very poor.

Perhaps I should be clearer.  He may have beaten Ty one way or another, but I don't think he'd have been able to run right around the outside of him like that, Ty is just too quick and strong.  I was replying to a reference about Torres' pace, which I do think is an issue.

I know what you're saying but my point was I don't think it's cut and dried that the same thing wouldn't have happened. The key was to not let that situation happen, Neto running directly at our centre halves, which we'd pretty much managed to do but for Doug having a brain fart and leaving us exposed.

Oh yeah and how's he doing up there?

He's doing better than you are at quoting, put it that way.
