Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Awful starting XI (at least five players I don't particularly want to ever watch again) and an awful start and there you go.

We have little to nothing off the bench to change things.

Pivotal 10 days or so coming up because if we don't get some quality in we are in a lot of trouble, no matter how good the manager is (and he got it wrong today).

 

[Aikiwolf]

Little quality and many bang average players. The creativity of tarmac and similar passing ability. So many simple balls played just out of reach of a player.

Bellegarde was absolute mince, what was he doing for their goal?!

Soft red for Tori but as soon as he put his hand on Evanilson it was only ending one way.

Hugo Bueno did ok in the second half, which was a bit of a surprise and Tchatchoua did ok coming on.

 

[Jinky]

Two games out of two where Vitor has got the starting 11 wrong. Two defeats. No goals scored. Sloppy goals conceded. It doesn’t bode well, does it?

Jackson looked like a competition winner for 20 minutes but then settled quite well. Wolfe with one ok’ish run (but had no support) and other than that looked distinctly average again. Hugo B looked better.

Arias was completely anonymous until that shot in the second half, and he was hooked shortly after so difficult to say much on him.

Before someone says it, I’m no body language expert, but JSL’s reaction after being taken off, Fer Lopez being frustrated at not getting on, Rodrigo being left to console him, Agbadou continually kicking it out of play under no pressure, Bellegarde slowly jogging back when Bournemouth are breaking on us, Toti’s red etc etc - it just doesn’t look good for us.

We look like a team who’s destined to be relegated. They won’t get the quality in that’s required this week, they seem to have a real issue with selling the vision to incoming targets (because “help us finish 17th” is understandably NOT what good footballers want to hear) and we are already fighting an uphill battle.

I think this is our year. I suspect West Ham will go too, so then you’ve got one spot for the worst of the promoted three.

Also I am fucking sick of Marshall Munetsi. Go and throw a ball at a wall in your garden. Hard as you like. It won't bounce as far as his first touch.

Abysmal footballer. Don't give me this crap about him making space for others, he's shite.

Left on for the full 90 again. I guess all managers have blind spots (Nuno with Adama etc) and clearly, Munetsi is Vítor’s.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I'd kill for Adama to be in this team! At least there'd be some potential to make something happen, where as now?

 

[Celtiña]

Problem: V. Pereira.

That line ups, and the position of player are so crazy.

The changes, and push down the team only made a lot problems because the defense not are really good.

For me its strange view Muntesi (no score, no assist, only run and a bit power) playing all games, and people whit quality like R.Gomez, F.Lopez on the bench.

And that Bellergrade playing like a DMF down Gomes is a big what the fuck...

You guys need a good DMF or put Muntesi on DMF.

From Vitors comments, Andre has been a bit shit in training.

Says club after 2 - 3 players. He wants 3

 

[Mel Evo]

You don’t even need to go that far back to find a deeply flawed wide attacking bench option who would still be miles ahead of what we’ve ended up with or are likely to get. April. Worrying times.

I’ve been banging this drum for ages - have never managed to put it as eloquently as this.

Absolute fucking garbage. Not even a League One player. Has absolutely no positive attributes as a professional footballer at all - everything he does, he does it badly.

Fucking embarrassing. But not alone, there.

Beginning of the end for Andre’s time here then. If he’s been so bad in training that Bellegarde is getting ahead of him in a midfield two, that tells you everything you need to know.

Imagine if we had an actual footballer who could offer some quality competition to Andre to keep him on his toes? That would be fucking madness wouldn’t it?

 

[basher]

I said it on the match thread but I genuinely believe that Mick's first season Premier League side is better than this rabble.

I wonder how relegation fits into Fosun's 10 year plan...

I can only imagine that Andre’s head might have been swayed by the apparent Juventus interest…….

God knows why he’d rather play for them, than us.

Hard agree.

----------Foley------Doyle-----Jarvis---------

I'll take that in a straight swap and I fucking hate Zubar and Mancienne.

 

[AndyWolves]

This feels like it's been coming for a few years now. Championship is more fun though ay it? (It won't be this time without neves, Jota et al)

I dunno. That looks quite awful too

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Sa MOTM today?

Thought S.Bueno had a really good game when he came on too.

Hugo good going forward, a ghost defensively.

Probably the worst debut 15 mins or so from Jackson I ever remember from anyone.

Emblen, Williams, Bob Taylor, who more recently that have been as bad?

Much, much, much better in the second half though. Hopefully was just a head rush moment through nerves and we don't see it from him again. Even the Bournemouth fans were taking the piss.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It is quite awful but it's got a bit of heart and fight about it.

I'm not sure we have that now.

Also 2009/10 Doyle and Jarvis are better than Strand Larsen and Munetsi by some distance.

Joao and Sa today - that’s it.

That midfield though
