If only it was that easy all clubs would be doing it. For every Raphinha there's 10 failures.

 

 

Not true at all. He's been rumoured for a while to top clubs and the relegation clause came to notice now in the last 2 months or so. Aren't many better right wingers than him. Been dominant for Brazil in the national side for the few games he has played and he has had great success individually at four clubs in a row now. 

That doesn't mean you just don't bother man, my goodness

Bruno is a superstar man. Guy is such a fantastic well rounded midfielder. Just ... wow.

Point is more that having Bruno show for possession all the time means there’s no point in Shelvey. His passing isn’t really needed now. We should get someone in who properly protects the back four.

Yeah for sure, but until the season ends Shelvey has to play play so Bruno can be further up the pitch.

It took a deflection.

Ah, fair enough. We need to be much more clinical in those instances, it's so vital.

Just now, Smal said:

Makes Shelvey completely redundant.

Shelvey sitting deeper allows Bruno that freedom though, which is great.

Never understood why people wanted Bruno in that Shelvey role sitting deep all game. Such a waste of so much ability.

Terrible pass from ASM. Such a big difference between that one and the one Joelinton put on a plate for Wood. ASM is very raw in the final third.

Great penalty. Love his confidence to take that. Also did well to sell the penalty being given in the first place after a good run. Well done.

Beautifully timed pass by Joelinton. Knew he'd get it right too.

ASM has lost his mind ...

If Lascelles comes on we're losing this game ...

They're getting more confident, which suits us. Will open up some space and I think we'll get them.

Aye he's 19 but for a supposed £35m wonderkid you'd hope you'd see some kind of threat or potential in nearly two seasons. He offers nowt every time Ive seen him play and he's not that often started. How's he going to get better?

I hear you. He's got loads of time though. Quite a change that young from Portugal to England football wise. Think he'll be alright.

Pretty sure he was 19 when they signed him 

Turns 20 in July this year. Was 18 when he signed for them.

How much did Wolves pay for Fabio Silva again?

Isn't he still just in his teens though?

Just now, Flip said:

 

If we want to compete we need a mix of experienced players and new ones. Signing Raphinha would be far beyond this club. Even for £75m. There's a reason Bayern, Barcelona etc wants him. Walks into most clubs starting XI. 

I know. That's the point I was making. We should be signing players like him at the initial stage, like Leeds did. Not after he has already fully emerged and is attracting interest from all the best clubs.

Some of the views in this thread are embarrassing. Whinging and moaning about everything. Where have you been the last 15 years?

 

This performance has been lightyears from Brucey ball and a damn side better than some of the stuff Rafa had us playing.

 

We are pressing, controlling possession and look like a proper team. OK we don't look scintillating in the final 3rd but you can at least see a plan.

 

Stop fucking moaning man. Oh... and Bruno is pure sex.

Yeah, I mean I genuinely can't believe we've already got to the point where we can control the game to this extent, and have Wolves pinned back.

Can't believe how quickly some people have forgotten just how pathetic we were under Bruce. It's incredible really. We'd have had a striker on the half way line and everyone else in our box under him.

I mean all Wolves are doing is defending. They've not exactly come here to play. 

Pretty much. Think we're shocked at the respect they're showing us.

Really going to need some more technical and savvy players in this summer. The likes of Almiron and ASM are very counter attacking types.

Think Fraser going down was a massive loss. Of all the wide players we have, he's the smartest in his decision making, movement and final ball.

No chance man

Just knew Miggy wasn't doing anything with that.

It's so depressing man. Have no faith in anything he does coming off. Even that back heel he did was swiftly cancelled by VAR.

Vital touch Burn got on that ball in.

Just now, Cheshire Mag said:

This half of football is as bad as anything Bruce had served up. Absolute bobbins all round.

 

Schar and Burn just passing it sideways to each other and the ball eventually ending back with Dubravka is starting to get annoying too.

Are you serious? We've pressed them and pinned them back most of the game and have been in their own half. Just struggling to break down their deeper defensive block, as it's not something we are used to going up against.

Horrible post man. Comparing this to anything under Bruce is outrageous.

I think this game shows that Bruno and Shelvey can't co-exist.  Bruno/Big Jow/Willock midfield three looks far more convincing.

I disagree. Much happier with Bruno having the freedom to get further up the pitch. It just created our best chance by far, with some lovely play.

They are mad organised tbf to them. Not that we’re offering too much. Blocking passing lanes all over the place.

Yes, definitely a big part of this. We're not quite good enough yet to easily break down teams that are organised and sitting back. If we do though, it will be Bruno that finds the solution as he's the one player we currently have that is adept at that.

Just now, David Edgar said:

Honestly again, the ball drops to ASM and he has a simple pass inside.  Nope, he tries to dribble and the ball is nicked away.

 

Every fucking time. 

Sometimes I can't actually believe how often he does it.

He'll probably score soon though, and everyone will be on your case, so brace yourself. 

Man ... we are going to throw this game away if we don't wake up.
