Wolves v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[manic-road]

We actually got worse as the game went on, why are we always pants at Wolves?

[Le Lapin]

The minute McGinn got injured against Everton, it was like the light went off at the club. No one has stepped up. The lads that came back to us have reverted to the worst version of themselves that we know, Bailey most certainly has, Luiz is not brilliant either. We didn't or couldn't strengthen in January when we were in a position of strength. Were are still in a good spot in league, but I worry that the heart has gone out of the team for now, and when we find it again we will be in a dash for sixth or seventh. We are dropping like a stone down this league if we continue as we are.

Lee Hendrie highlighting Barkley for their first goal. Onana half hearted jog back also deserved mention.

[SaddVillan]

That was totally predictable.

Has Emery lost the plot?

Or is he obsessively wedded to his style of play and can't/won't/isn't able to change?

Has a system based on McGinn/Kamara and Tielemans. But without them it's obvious that we'll struggle.

But his job is to find a way with the players he's got at his disposal - adapt, evolve, change.

But he stubbornly sticks to his beliefs -trying to play a system that the players struggle with - why?

Failed to score early (Watkins and Torres), confidence ebbed away and they grew into the game.


Good luck trying to create sn atmosphere for future home games.

I would not back us to beat anyone we are so poor. One of the worse things to happen is Bailey coming back off loan.

Worst was allowing Malen to leave. A simple "Not until the summer" would have been enough.  Instead we have nothing up front. Nothing.

Even losing 3 of our best midfielders pretty much all at once, recent performances have been awful. Yes, I expected a drop off but not be this bad. Emery is not helping himself with same players starting e.g. Watkins, Buendia and not showing any improvement, it’s getting worse if anything.

[JUAN PABLO]

Most angriest Ive been of any match this season and dont think I will calm down all week. 

Emery fucked it up with his line up and subs , playing out of form players over and over again.  Players out of position .  I know he is elite but lately he is getting mugged by Edwards , Andrews and Farke , no Idea what he is playing at .

Allyson is  a right winger but stick him on the left instead of Bailey on the right  , leave Buendia on and take off Luis , he starta with Ollie instead of Tammy , Luca D is finished as a prem player , Onana a 50 million player again fake , Rogers looks a boro player again .

Europa Cup is going too be so hard as well.

He fights for Tammy and lets Malen go and gets hardly any minutes .

i will calm down in April Im sure .

Wolves can tell us all summer they stopped us getting champs league

It's been garbage for weeks sadly. Going to be a long march to the end of the season. Would be overjoyed with 62-65 points.

Personally, I'd put all our eggs into the Europa League now, beat Lille and hopefully have a fresh SJM and Tileman's back from there.

I’d sack the Europa off if we had got more than one point against Brentford, Everton, Leeds and Wolves. I’ve no faith we’ll turn up against Lille and will get absolutely pumped.

CL football? We don’t deserve conference. This is absolutely shit everywhere. If we’d have put in a performance I’d feel differently but there was nothing. It’s win the Europa or nothing again and my money is on nothing again.

Billy Big Bollocks attitude?

[Villafirst]

Similar to that awful display at Wolves in January last year. A 2-0 defeat, when they scored their second goal in stoppage time. Interesting that Malen and Guessand are both scoring goals for their clubs.....! A stupid decision with that starting line-up.

[andyh]

You have been too generous with those ratings PWS.

[Flamingo Lane]

I know Lindelof is not a game changer as such, but with such injuries as we have to key players, wouldn't you turn to this bloke's obvious quality and experience, especially when he has shown he's in excellent form? I just don't get why he has been totally ignored over recent weeks.

[SamTheMouse]

That's the first time I think Emery's decisions have ever made me angry.

Luiz was arguably our best (well, least bad) player, yet he gets withdrawn and Buendia - already on a yellow card - stays on.

I think that single decision lost us the game.
