I feel like a lot of times teams like Liverpool almost just expect certain opposition to just sit back all game.

Makes it so easy for their defenders the majority of the time and they get so casual and lazy. More teams need to go at them.

And boom ... another for Aston Villa.

Payet scores for Marseille then within 2 mins sent off.

 

Football's gone mental today.

Look at you trying to play it cool like you're not watching the Liverpool game

Liverpool haven't looked good defensively this calendar year.

We'll still have 10 in our box against them though, and let them take pot shots all game.

Firmino and joelinton finally look the same level of player

Sissoko and Hojberg have looked great as a midfield pair.

How is Son playing?!

Dropped him for Mahrez as he had a 25% chance apparently. Too annoying.

Any team with midfielders than can run with the ball or an attacking midfielder that drops in between the lines will give us so many problems man.

Even today the gaps in midfield when we were trying to get back were pretty shocking. Burnley don't have any players to really exploit it though and neither of their forwards drop into space either.

Seemed fine from his interview after the game. Had a knock but nothing major.

Once it got to the 3-1 made sense to take him off tbh.

Any players named Bacon out there?

Leeds actually had more of the ball against Man City today. Pretty impressive.

Would give him a shot in the middle in place of Shelvey for a few games before writing him off.

Shelvey will never be dropped. Ever.

Very interesting run of games coming up.

We'll get a better idea of what this team is really about then.

Thought Krafth actually played well.

Had a really good game. Especially did well to slot in beside Fernandez when Schar went off and held up well against their brutes.

He's better than Adama Traore in my opinion who seems to get a lot more interest

 

Not sure on that mind. Think Maximin needs a season like Traore’s last season first, numbers wise. Wilson will give him a chance anyway.

True. Wolves are so much better as a team though. Play football on a completely different planet to us. Think he would produce similar numbers in their team if not better. Think both players are quite comparable though.

Very positive player. Love his effort, body language and interaction with his team mates. A fantastic leading man.

Just hope the team can figure out how to use the ball well against better teams to get him the chances he deserves.

Yeah, does a lot of the dirty work.

Understandable using him against the grimy teams like Burnley and West Ham.

But really shouldn't be starting out wide as standard. That would be nuts considering the options we have.

So chill in this interview. Cool guy

I thought he did really well tonight, held up the ball nicely and created some chances, still looks nowhere near like scoring a goal but maybe now that we don't have to count on him for that he can provide us with something.

Would have worked even better with another attacking threat on the right, as Hendrick doesn't rally get forward down that side.

Really linked play well and allowed for far better possession, and had some very nice combination play with the guys on the left side.

Nice game to build on. Good to see him finally get a full game in this role.

Hendrick has not looked very good today, or this season other than the second half of the first game.

 

Hoping he's just being used in this role against bigger sides due to the set piece threats.

 

Could do with more attacking threat down that side too.

 

 

 

Bruce intimated that was the case in the first game of the season, however he's used him every league game since (I think) so any tactical credit he earned with the statement is long gone.

Yeah, that's the worry really.

Joelinton is dire on the break.

 

Makes the wrong decision every single time

Other than that beautiful ball to Fraser for the lob.

Don't bother man

Hendrick has not looked very good today, or this season other than the second half of the first game.

Hoping he's just being used in this role against bigger sides due to the set piece threats.

Could do with more attacking threat down that side too.

Lovely play by Joelinton.

He is decent at holding and feeding through to attackers like. Last season was such a fucking waste for everyone

Yeah, it was unfortunate.

Relief the manager has at least spotted it now.  Still not sure this midfield will hold up though. We'll see.

Wilson now has scored twice ad many league goals as Joelinton managed all of last season

Obsessed ...

Lovely play Joelinton. Unlucky Fraser.

ASM and Fraser wide at the same time today would have been so interesting.

Lovely Pen. Nice one Wilson.
