We were totally desperate at that stage, look at the squad we had going into that window. It’s not the same this time, but of course we are able to.. we just won’t. It’s that our targets now are overpriced or won’t want to move during the winter window.

The circumstances were entirely different during that window

Their form has fallen through the floor

Consistent pressure Fully fit this guy is a menace, against teams that open up and try and play football he’s all we need

Sides who actually come here and try and play football get battered usually The passive, low block, grindy PL games against certain teams are the toughest you’ll come across and we struggle in them like anyone else

This is Wissa Pressure pressure

Tbf, I feel that spending excessively in this window when you can do the same deal in the summer for less is probably the real gamble

Never listen to what Howe says in the media about transfers however. I suspect what he really means is that there isn’t any value to be had this January for us, which is fair enough.

The moment his ego broke

Hectic schedule, unfortunate injuries, lack of mid week training sessions We suffer

That’s an NO all timer level post

Impressive how much Wolves have improved just lately, they are snuffing us out and breaking well at times

Can see why they signed Guehi

Only if it’s the right player for the right price, I honestly don’t expect we will see any serious incomings

Annoyingly good signing is Gallagher. Paquetas betting accusations were really a massive sliding doors moment for him, he’d be in a Man City shirt now if they had never surfaced.. now he’s angling for a move to Brazil.

Described Nancys time at Celtic as ‘an absolute holocaust’ I guess Shay never did history in school

Absolute chaos, he will hate that Mad game

That was utter chaos

Gutted

Such a kick in the balls that we started to get a hold of the game and apply pressure and that pen is given Long way back

Best way to write off one of your most consistent performers of the season is the drag him off after a disasterclass Unless he’s injured/ill/etc, Howe will tell him to forget it and focus up for the second half and rightly so

They are pretty physical and have hit some form, think it could become a pretty tough one unless we get an early goal

Honestly think there’s a good chance we lose that one last night without him in the side

I think it will happen but not until we are out of the CL

I came to say the same, we struggled in the same way with the CL schedule last time He signs system players but without the time on the training ground with them it’s not happening, we have gone with this simplistic passive away style to negate the lack of mid week training sessions but it hasn’t worked. Going out of the CL will see us hit form again, I have no doubts. As it is no one looks that sharp, the simple patterns of play a lot of the time involving Woltemade are not coming off Long term it becomes an issue
