Enzo & Caicedo were very poor first half but I thought both bossed it second half. Especially Enzo. Maresca probably screamed their ears off at halftime. They shaped up and looked much better.

Mudryk is only getting minutes because Neto and Felix weren’t ready to start yet as Maresca said pre-match. When they are he will surely only play in the cups if he’s still here. For me, Sancho is just not suitable for a top PL team. They all require high work rate and being super fit. He would be a great player in Italy or back in Germany as we’ve seen. Slower pace, less quality.

Exactly. It’s already going to be tricky leaving out one or more of Felix, Neto, Madueke, and Nkunku most weeks. Tossing in Sancho makes no sense. That’s the entire reason Maresca has told Sterling to go. No minutes for him. Not to mention Sancho is lazy af and won’t really work much for the team. Doesn’t train well either evidently.

Seeing Madueke today, where does Sancho play?

Nkunku is going to ball out for us this season. If we even considered selling him we’re dumb.

This would be FAR AND AWAY the dumbest thing Clearlake have done. I refuse to believe it. It’s already going to be a massive headache for Maresca to choose between the attacking options we have as it is. Where would Sancho play?! And why would he even want to come here himself just to trade the United bench for ours? Never mind the fact that we’ve got 2 gems coming into the side next summer!

We are fucking STACKED in attack and play some lovely stuff. Settle our defense and midfield as the season rolls on and we are in business.

I really like Fofana and am happy he’s back fit. But never in a million years should he have been thrown straight in the team as a starter. He should be gradually eased in. Tosin is a calm, steady head with loads of experience. He’s also great in the air defensively. He should be starting.

I just feel panic and nerves each and every time anyone gets into our half. We have nobody engaging and stopping Wlves players from simply carrying the ball deep into our territory. There’s no cohesion or understanding between the midfield and defense whatsoever. Everyone is just constantly all over the shop. When we get the ball ourselves we look good. But it’s all for nothing if the foundation behind them are not there.

We can’t defend in open play and we can’t defend set pieces. Wtf are we doing in training?!

We’re going to have to score at least 3 goals per game to have a chance with defending like this.

Both Caicedo and Enzo destroyed again. Fucking hell. That was almost identical to the Kova goal last week where a player just waltzes through our midfield with pathetic tackling.

Feel like once again we look very, very promising and dangerous with the ball. But without the ball it’s pure chaos.

Midfield wide open with zero pressure on the ball.

I figured it would be Gusto in midfield with Cucu inverting in there for support but you might be right.

Idk, looks like he’s going to be advanced again up there with Palmer in the #10 sort of area.

Whole lot of faith placed in Mudryk to be starting here. If he is poor yet again then he shouldn’t start another PL match again any time soon. Use him only in Conference League and the cups.

I was actually feeling very confident about this match before the team news dropped. But with Lavia out and the team Maresca has gone with I think we could look pretty damn poor here. If they go with a super high energy pressing game plan against us I think we’ll struggle.

Hopefully a precaution or minor knock. For me he is our most important central midfielder already. With him out and considering the way Wolves play I’d have started KDH here. Could have used his work rate and ability to receive the ball well in tight areas. I don’t yet trust A Gusto and Caicedo pairing in midfield.

Please, PLEASE don’t tell me Lavia is injured again already!!! Mudryk and Sanchez starting 🤢🤢🤢

Palace feels like the obvious move for Trev after Andersen has left. They’ve had success now with another player we let go in Guehi so it feels only right that they take another one and pair them together.

It’s pretty insane that Trev hasn’t moved yet. Everyone seems to rate him but we haven’t heard a peep about a move since he was “exiled” weeks ago. I would’ve thought he’d be extremely easy to move since he’s young, English, and in a position every club is always scrambling for decent players.

Buying another CB at this point would be ridiculous unless/until we move on 2 of the current ones. Trev + one of Disasi or Badiashile.

You mentioned Giroud in your previous post. I’d rather bring his 40 year old ass back from LAFC than buy DCL. 🤣

I’d rather play a false 9 than sign DCL.
