Same as last season. We don't have the players to do it. Most of the players we have are players who want to progress the ball as quick as possible and release it. Don't have a player, apart from maybe Eriksen, who can control things.

The Media wouldn't be though. Those cnuts will have an absolute meltdown tomorrow so Spurs will presumably get one on Saturday.
if wolves play like that all season they arent getting relegated
Yeah, why would it be a penalty when both players went for the ball 50/50 and both missed it.
His name is Hwang Hee-chan, Hwang being the surnameWell MOTM is easy - AWB. Varane was good, Sancho did well after coming on - and Onana was good until he almost cost us the win. The rest was ....bad
I'd say I've seen about 100 since VAR
When was the last time you saw a keeper give away a penalty from colliding like that? I don't know how you can say it's 100% anything when those incidents never go against the keeper in the history of football.Can’t even be the slightest of happy over that “win”. We looked frustratedly bad for most of the game. Absolutely no control in midfield and the individual performances were horrific. Bruno and Casemiro really disappointing together with Rashford, Antony, Mount and Garnacho. And how we didn’t get a penalty against us is a mystery.Couldn’t have picked a better team to start the season against….
-lost all their best players
-haven’t signed anyone
-manger quits four days ago
Yet somehow we look lost and they looked like a team who have played together for three years not three days.
Happy to get the three points but we were very lucky tonight.
Generally speaking they are going for the ball.
Are they in the room with you now?Onana has shown so much, with many people questioning his goalkeeping capabilities his positioning is absolutely fantastic. Reminded me of VDS not aesthetically but just knowing the GK is where he should be. That was a brilliant performance.
Also that big guy "seeked" it by being big and blocking it a bit cheaply positioning, he wasn't punched and looked liked Onana watching ball. Good call ref.
Ah, fair enough, apologies!Oooft, glad for the three points. Bruno invisible for most of that, and Casemiro caught out quite a lot. We looked like a newly promoted team sneaking a 1-0 win. Need to be so much better than that.
I get it if he's two footed him but he's flapped and missed and the striker has jumped and missed then gone down like a fanny
We helped them play that way with our "hot potato" football. The whole midfield is unable to keep the ball.3 points, but that was really bad. Now watch Wolves get battered by Brighton next. ETH needs to find the biggest white board he can find, he need to draw something big.Spurs new pressing game under Ange will give us massive problems next SaturdayGreat win, always tough against the new manager bounce.
Nope, Villa played a lot better. I watched the game and they created a lot of chances and didn’t look like half of them had never played the sport before.We can’t have just Casemiro in the middle on his own.
Slow and tired and easily overrun.
Sure he’ll show us some of his class, plenty of times, but we are wide open through the middle.
No control or domination in the middle and easily cut through on the counter.
Then it's never a penalty then if everyone's going for the ball and everyone misses itMy stream died. Any clip of penalty decision?
To be fair that was more us being complete turd than a new manager bounce.The double standards from the pundits, and some fans, is mental. The big difference between the two teams was expectations. We were poor compared to what you'd expect, Wolves were very good compared to what you'd expect. Wolves were absolutely the better team, but anyone watching with a truly neutral eye would say that was a pretty even game.We were terrible. Wolves were good. Blessed that the penalty decision went our way. Let’s hope we stay lucky. Very lucky indeed.We need a number 8, and while Mount gets up to grips with this new position, might be worth trusting one of the younger ones if we're not buying anyone, because we look like we're playing with two 10s, rather than two 8s.
It's no surprise as we looked like that throughout pre-season apart from when the youngsters actually played.
How hard is it to pass around?
100% a penalty nonsense. That happens about 4 times in about every match going.
Pretty much. Striker would have had a case if he'd gotten to the ball first and Onana clattered into him but that wasn't the case. They were both late for the ball and missed it, resulting in colliding into each other(the player caught in the middle is the real victim in all this anyways.
).
Think the two biggest factors a flap not punch so not aggressive play also the ball was out of the players control before the contact so its not really impeding the play. Clumsiness more than an infringement.
exactly and usually ends up a free kick to the keeper.Villa played much better than us in midfield and up front on Saturday and ended up being thrashed 5-1
Yeah it's what we needed thus summer but I am shocked Erik thought we needed someone like mount insteadI am 66 years old have bad arthritis and heart failure. I only play walking football in what everyone calls the 'geriatric league', but can honestly say that I have more physical presence on the ball than every one of that bunch of fairies.
Except in this case the ball was gone and he was late.
They are - because their finishing is frankly atrocious. Worse than Championship level
And that's different to the Antony one in the first half, which also absolutely wasn't a fecking penalty, how again?- Status
