Such a strange fella.

That backheel to Isak

Crime against football that assist doesn't count.

That run before the slip was great, shame it didn't come off. Why do so many of our lot slip?! -
Fucking class!
-
What a finish
-
Doing that thing where we're getting way too wound up.
-
If only that pinger from the edge of the box had gone in - ridiculously crisp strike. Was right behind it and looked destined to be a goal but for a fantastic block.
-
Howe confirmed he's playing through some pain at the moment. Not sure he'd be starting if Big Joe wasn't out. For all his talent, he's a proper fighter above all else. The backheel for that corner move was absolutely insane. The vision to do it but then the perfect weighting for a backheel through ball that late in a game.
-
Yeah, definitely some switching between him & Bruno to presumably try and get the latter on the ball more. I think Wolves were doing the midfield box tactic pretty well to limit passing options into him for periods of the match.
-
He got a bit of a second wind for a few minutes before he came off but there was a short spell towards the end of the first half where he was barely moving
-
His goal return is astonishing considering what we've seen in the years prior. I thought he'd improve under a better manager but it's still nuts - this is the lad who was struggling to get them on target nevermind looking like scoring. Super pressing when he came on as well. We're not blessed with lots of wing talent but we have some fantastic willing runners there.
-
The best thing about his performance yesterday was that he didn't really have many phases where he was passive/not looking to get involved. So far this year, he's been good but quite bursty in games. Maybe that suits his physicality more overall but it felt like he really made an effort to step up with Joelinton out and Wolves giving Bruno so much attention.
-
Got real potential to become a pressing freak with those legs. He also does this thing sometimes when the defender has the ball he then starts to jog into an angle and then suddenly hammer it after them in no time. Been a big Wilson fan but he's just nowhere near the same level as a footballer.
-
His pressing is elite but his defensive work in the middle of the pitch does need work and is where I think we missed Joelinton a bit. Still, he was relentless and took responsibility so often.
-
Agreed. I like him but he felt like a weak link in the trio today, struggled to get into it for quite long stretches and seemed to get caught defensively too.

Played well but I'm not sure he's 100%, his running style seemed a bit awkward at times and he seemed reluctant to open up? -
Some absolutely superb movement from him in that cameo.
-
Played some magical passes (couple of easier ones he just missed) but this was a tough holding fort game for him. They do have some terrific midfielders and could easily rotate in-game.
-
That was a really tough game for the midfield considering they knew they'd play the full game while Wolves rotated (good) options. Think that's why we sat off a bit to manage legs where we could.
-
Sensational for about 40 mins and then gassed out a bit. Has so much to his game.
-
Filled in for Joelinton so well. Energy for days.
