Wolves 1-1 Brighton: Verdict Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Got to go down as two points dropped I'm afraid. We look better organised than we did a month or so ago but there's a serious lack of flair and so if you're 1-0 up and they're not really hurting you, we have to hold on. We didn't.

Johnstone: Very decent again with one stunning save. Definitely #1 now

Tchatchoua: Oh dear. Did alright in general but why are you knocking that out for a corner, it was obviously going out anyway. Ridiculous and cost us the game

Krejci: Excellent again

S Bueno: In the best run he's ever been on, keep it going

H Bueno: Shit Lee Naylor

André/J Gomes: Tons of industry between them but they don't create

Arias: I'm still not sure on him. Shocking miss

Munetsi: About the best you'll ever get out of him

Hwang: Atrocious

Strand Larsen: Very good and unlucky not to score. But if he's coming off then surely Tolu has to come on?

Subs: Not much to note other than Bellegarde is fucking shite.

Much to do, still.

Feel for Johnstone, had two really good games and not had a clean sheet he deserves, let alone the two he probably should have.

That equaliser felt predictable though is my worry, we dont sit in and effectively counter, we seem to occasionally get a chance but not through scheme or invention on the counter. Arias has to score that chance despite the bobbling/bouncing of the ball.

 

[Jinky]

Vítor can fuck off with his shit tactics and subs. Absolute loser mentality. Yes, we’re bottom and desperate for points, but he had us defending the edge of the area after 55 minutes, ffs.

He is the reason we have dropped 4 points in the last two games. Couldn’t care less if he left tonight.

I think it's Luis Miguel today. Vitor is somewhere in the hollows of the Billy Wright Stand.

 

[spanish Wolf]

The good news I'm left with today is that we have our defense back.
What a mistake by the coach, when with more than twenty minutes left, and without having created any clear scoring chances, you go and backtrack on the substitutions, very bad.
Greetings from Spain.

An object lesson in giving up your impetus.

Cowardly, spineless game management.

Today is another nail in the relegation coffin I’m afraid.
VP probably should be in last chance saloon now but probably has until the next International break.
Think the only reason the fans aren’t turning on him is because they can see some of awful players he’s working with.
Today’s a decent point if you hold on last week, beat Leeds and get something out of Everton, we did none of the above.
Keep saying it plucky draws are no good at this stage.
The last 2 results don’t mean we’ll get positive returns from Sunderland and Burnley.
The club is a joke 2 seasons on the trot we’ve gone into the second international break winless.
We don’t have the quality to win 3 on the spin so the moment we get cut adrift by more than 2 wins then it’ll be curtains.

I don't agree with the changes but I'm not sure what impetus we had really.

We badly lack flair and there's no way we were on top. We're a team with virtually no invention in the final third.

 

[White Wolf]

Two late equalisers and two very different games.

Last weekend - I get it. Away from home, tough opponent, they were very dangerous going forward and we were on a losing run. I think Pereira's tactics were pretty good to neuter Tottenham and it was just that bit of quality which had us undone. Today? We are winning the midfield battle for a lot of this and they are looking frustrated. From 60 minutes we've gone so negative with reverting to the back three, Larsen is so isolated. Some of the hold-up play was pretty valiant but the supply he was getting was woefu and that is bad tactics. Unluckly not to score that but taking the striker off entirely is mad, there was no way to play out. Incredibly narrow, Arias was bad second half. Tactics don't cater to him but he's not an option when we're sitting back like that, and his miss is costly. And some of those set pieces like the FK he tried, terrible. Tchatchoua needs to be more alert, he looked a weak link all game.

Really hurt today by the manager and his tactics after a first half which did the job. Munetsi reminds me of Traore in the sense of his shots either being completely wayward or hitting a quality finish out of nowhere, but he was functional. Krejci does look very good and I think he improves Bueno too, Johnstone pulled off an excellent save, midfield two good (again). I feel like we are approaching Pereira finding his best XI now (minus Hwang), it's not amazing but without some poor tactical decisions we may well see out the win.

 

[Celtiña]

For me this is the result of the game.

Min 64:
Sub-Coach: This 4-3-3 are working nice, any idea.
VP: Ok put one more defense and all back, and return old system, this 0-1 is ok.
Sub-Coach: Sure?
VP: Yes, out Hwang, Put in Abga.
Sub-Coach: Ok i made it.
(During this switch, seem any dont understadn the new tactic and are all confused on the tactic and positions)

Secs Later:

Sub-Coach: they are attacking now, and are close to score, what are the next changes.
VP: Ok out Bueno and Larsen, put in Bellgrade and Abga. More defense!!!
(The face of Larsen whit the changes are a big WTF, dont understand any)
Sub-Coach: Who play ofense?
VP: My lovely Muntesi, he play mid and fw at same time. Put the bus in the own area and they dont score.

Secs Later, Brighton score.

Sub-Coach: and now?
VP: Shit, Gomes and Muntesi out, Tore and another defense Mosquera in. in this 5 mins sure win the game.
Sub-Coach: by another defense, not are better put Fer Lopez or another ofensive player to assist/score?
VP: Shut up, im the main coach.

Im sorry for you guys, but your coach no are good,

Fabian Hürzeler (32 years) have worse players but have better ideas than V.Pereira (57 years).

For me, Victor Pereira is seeking dismissal with compensation, i never understand that actions/changes. Not seem a profesional coach.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Fabian Hürzeler (32 years) have worse players but have better ideas than V.Pereira (57 years).

We do NOT have better players than Brighton.

Haven't for years in all honesty. You don't know what you're talking about.

 

[White Wolf]

I don't think Hurzeler has worse players at all, we're a very weak squad. But he has made positive changes to try and change the game and Pereira has been very negative. Difference in coaches is the key here as you say, but we are much worse than Brighton.

 

[Jinky]

I don't agree with the changes but I'm not sure what impetus we had really.

I don’t disagree - but you don’t take JSL off unless you’re putting Tolu on. We were playing with Munetsi as a false 9, ffs! He switched to a back 5 way too early. They were on top, but we still had the better clear cut chances. Soon as he changes it, you’re just inviting them on to us.

Rodrigo didn’t even get on the pitch and he’s at least a player that can offer you some pace on the counter.

Basically, every decision Vítor (or his goon on the sideline) made today was the wrong one.

They can flap their arms around and look as angry as they like at the end of today and v Spurs, but it’s your shit negative defeatist tactics that has cost us, lads.

 

[Mel Evo]

They’ve got the better team but today you could tell they weren’t really at it. We invited them into the game and that’s hugely frustrating. Taking JSL off and not replacing like for like is straight up indefensible.

At times the lack of pace and dynamism is shocking. A moment in the 43rd minute was really telling in this respect - huge chance for a dangerous counter and we just didn’t have anyone to carry it out.

Really disappointing.

 

[AndyWolves]

I think draws against spurs and Brighton would have been decent results if we weren't rooted to the foot of the table.

We needed the W today

 

[jd1981]

BHA have better players than us in every position, they were shit today but still got a point.
We’re a classic relegation side, play well but can’t get results over the line.
Said it before we look like a nieve newly promoted club rather than one that’s been in the division 8 seasons.

 

[jd1981]

Yep beat Leeds get a point v Everton then these are decent returns.
If any prat tells me that it’s a good indicator that we’ll get a win v Sunderland because of today they simply don’t know how football works in reality.

 

[jd1981]

Win today takes us to within a point of 17th and off the bottom, releases the no win yet burden also. Difference in feeling is huge if we’d won

 

[Celtiña]

We do NOT have better players than Brighton.

Haven't for years in all honesty. You don't know what you're talking about.

For me that not is the problem.

Brighton look have better player because they play whit a good tactic, moves, and have a good coach to made that good games.

Wolves, no have any tactic, are all time passint to gk, to gk send a long ball out, the midfields are all time quiet, and by that the defense have problems to get out the ball, are all time passing to the wings, ant that are easy to predict.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Mate, go away, please.
