It can be compensated in a stable environment in a club with a clear identity and a competent coaching team. But whenver there is disarray the players motivation tends to blow hot and cold What else do you expect? These aren't players with 150-200 games under their belt and who know how to deal with these situations. Between Jackson, Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk, Gusto, Enzo, Caicedo....they've probably played like 50 solid league games before moving to Chelsea. Just happy to see them get a win away from home and actually score 3 goals in the process. Referees aside, we were never going to beat Liverpool at Anfield and let's be honest, if you let Wolves get into dangerous positions over and over and you let them run at you for fun, Neto & Cunha will eventually create enough to score a few goals...

Fernando 6,585 Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 I think we are doing good because of motivation. Since nothing to play for in the PL motivation is low. But in cup games we are doing good because it's a cup and can win it. It just shows that the team needs more time to grow hence why I still back Poch and think next season there's better progress.

I think the difference between league performance vs. cup performance makes a team a cup team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make decent runs in a cup competition but do not win, you're essentially failures or bridesmaids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning on the day is often luck and your key players taking the game on. The only issue for us is that we've forgotten how to win the final with losses to Arteta's Arsenal, Guardiola's City and then Klopp's liverpool on penalties.

The opposition doesn't even matter at this point; you can't just manifest a winning mentality. Edited February 9, 2024 by LAM09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
