Chelsea 0-0 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[The Bear]

Very poor going forwards but much more solid in defence, with Boly a one man stopping machine.

A clean sheet and a good point away at Chelsea in what could have been a game all about their new manager getting off to a winning start.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Yawn.

 

[t3ch]

not a good watch but a clean sheet and a point. would've been fine with that 2 hours ago.

 

[Tredman]

I’ll take that all day long. Decent cameo from Jose.

 

[James]

Nice to get a clean sheet

 

[Pablowolf]

Good point. RAN had a nightmare.

 

[Lichens]

Good point

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Great point needed and deserved. Something to build on

 

[Stan Hullis]

The ends justify the means for me tonight a much needed PL clean sheet and a point at Stamford Bridge.

We have to be more attacking against Palace though, we can’t be that defensive against them.

 

[NicholasG1973]

Not sure how I feel about playing a football match without having absolutely no intention of winning it......

But I’ll take a point away at Chelsea all day long.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

A point. A debut for our new guy. Aside from that let us never speak of this again. Eye-bleedingly poor stuff. Absolute garbage as entertainment. Dear me.

 

[Deano]

Good result. Clean sheets not easy to get at Stamford Bridge and we defended very well.

Not good at all going forward but confidence isn't high and I expect Jose to start Saturday which should help the ball stick up top a bit more.

 

[Kenny]

If the result lays the foundations for us to rebuild our season then it just passes as acceptable.
That's how we know we can defend. For all the possession and 3m passes Rui has had 1 tricky save to make.

Having an actual forward on the pitch will help loads going forward

 

[Derby Wolf]

That should do the defensive side the world of good. First clean sheet since Oct 30th.

Willian won us a point there at the death.

Good cameo by the newbie. Won flick ons and was strong. One flick on he won Neto stood still, I guess because he's become used to Silva not being able to.

It wasn't the best offensively but a point is decent in the grand scheme. Hopefully we can build on this with a more accomplished offensive display against Palace.

 

[Tredman]

Boly MotM, thought he was back to himself today.

 

[Parkins left foot]

I will take a point from that in the current circumstances.

Was it good - no, was it entertaining - definitely not, but you take what you can get.

Jose's best action was the headed block in the last second (not that he knew bugger all about it) - whether he can bring more will be seen once he's actually been introduced to the team properly.

Happy with the point and a clean sheet. You have to go back to basics when you lose so many when we were solid before. Totally understand what this performance was about. Willian looks good. Adama had a shocker, as did RAN. Semedo played a good game. Boly MOTM. Neto should have scored and we'd be celebrating a win.

 

[YoungWolf]

Boly MOTM.

Defended well as a unit, a couple of times they got between our full back and centre back but it never result in any big chances.

We had the best chance of the game, by some margin too.

Nuno has clearly decided we need to stop gifting shit goals away, we defended set pieces better largely too. He wants compactness and he got it. Saturday is a good chance to build on that foundation, with Willian up top.

 

[Premier Quality]

It’s a good point and a good defensive performance. Rui only made one particularly good save and that was in the 85th minute. Boly man of the match and Kilman played really well.

we really couldn’t get any control of the ball though, Nuno has looked to change the style so we can retain the ball better and we were absolutely awful at it. The midfield two’s passing was poor, there was very little combination play or movement from the front three, and we lost it time and again.

Donk had a good chance at the end and I think every wolves fan stood up at the opportunity and then sat down again when they realised who was on the end of it.

that was Adamas worst game for us imo, completely ineffective and then did a good run across the pitch with the ball and fucked up a simple pass, really not good enough.

And our throw ins are diabolical, do we put any work into them at all?

hope Nuno can get us going a bit now we have more of a focal point in Jose, but we’ll need to get people around him if he’s going to achieve much.

but, happy with a point. Onwards and upwards (hopefully)

I feel these kinds of results are part of our identity
