Exactly that. Allows Bruno to operate in oppositions halves more often and provides a good passing range on top of defensive cover. Good in the air too. Would be absolutely delighted with him and I'd probably implode if we got Pulisic on loan on top of Alvarez. Likewise if we got Maddison instead of Alvarez but I just can't see Leicester selling.

It's worth bearing in mind we did okay there last season with this line up: Dubravka Manquillo Schar Lascelles Lewis (Ritchie, 15mins) Murphy Hayden Shelvey Fraser (Willock, 87mins) Saint-Maximin (Wilson, 79mins) Joelinton

I think overall it was a decent point. How Lage sets Wolves up helped with this but I also think it was an indictment of Howe putting his stamp and style of play in terms of using and recycling the ball on the team. On top of that this side never gives up, we go 1-0 down now and I never think that we're out of a game. Given that we bossed possession and chances created without 2 of our best players (one of whom is pivotal to us) is a good sign and we could've and probably should've snatched it. The lack of quality was all too evident though especially in the 1st half but we have far better players going to come back into the side as well as 4 days left of the transfer market. After Liverpool we have a canny run of games; Palace (h), West Ham (a), Bournemouth (h), Fulham (a), Brentford (h). Things are looking up. Once Bruno comes back in and Isak is eased into things by Howe we have a canny and potentially exciting side on our hands.

He's served his purpose. He shouldn't be near a PL starting lineup for us; Isak will see to that thankfully. But I do think some of the stick he got today was a bit harsh; the crosses weren't coming in when he was on the pitch. Almiron and ASM were constantly going back on their stronger foot allowing the Wolves backline to settle. ASM should've been trying to take on Semedo who was on a yellow and sticking a cross in at every opportunity but he wasn't. We don't play to his strengths (assuming that headers on set pieces and crosses are his strength that is ) so I expect that we'll look much better with Isak in the side given his strengths and overall difference in quality to Wood.

Was quietly confident we could get a point a la Palace with Bruno, Isak, ASM, Trippier et al all playing given their injuries and recent form despite that Bournemouth win. Without Bruno plus maybe another one it's a really tall order.

Great cameo. Doesn't have any fear and unlucky not to bag the winner. Would like to see him get more first team minutes.

A poor performance is not related to effort and pashun.

For where we want to be in the coming years he is simply not good enough. Anyone hanging onto 8 games 3 and a half years ago need to let go.

Longstaff is shite and won't ever be good enough at this level.

Wood getting a lot of stick in here and aye he's not great but the crosses aren't coming in. Almiron and ASM are constantly going back on their stronger feet allowing Wolves to settle. ASM needs to be trying to get behind Semedo who's on a yellow and sticking a cross in, not taking those pathetic attempts at goal after cutting in every time.

We didn't capitalise on our possession; Willock missed that sitter (dunno why he hit it with his left foot) and we should've had a pen. We didn't and we allowed Wolves the only kind of goal they were going to score. Badly lacking in quality.

We're missing Bruno's incisive passing. We've had a lot of the ball but just not tested Sa at all. ASM back to his frustrating self, so predictable. Get ball, cut inside, let fly a powder puff shot. Needs to improve 2nd half. Current midfield is not good enough, no quality whatsoever.

Wearing the Saudi kit, ugh.

Fuck me, does Lage ever shut up?

Kill me now. Deepest apologies @BeloEmre

Take a 0-0 and run.

Thinking of watching him start PL games especially against a side whose strength is their midfield incites rage and grief.

Mongstaff be starting today, get in. After that performance against League 2 Tranmere too. Can't wait to watch our midfield get murdered.

He's going to be out of the matchday squad now and I'll look like a geet cunt. Wish I could lump on that now.

We have no reason to think he is, Howe never mentioned him once in his presser, yes he's not in the training photos but neither is Trippier, Burn, Lascelles or Isak who are avaliable. Unnecessary bedwetting™. If he is they've kept it incredibly close to the chest.

Regardless of what happens in the rest of this game Fulham have looked a canny side so far like. No way they go down.
