Return of the entertainers

 

would like to know why trippier didn’t take that free kick mind. 

 

Didn't take any set pieces after he tweaked his hamstring.

The stats definitely don't tell the full story like [emoji38]

 

We never did anything until Maxi decided to ping a full volley in for some reason. We were the better side and controlled the game fairly comfortably, but Wolves looked the more likely to score on the counter. Those 21 shots may as well have been 5.

 

It was a pretty solid reminder that we need more in before the window shuts.

If Anderson gets around 20 mins or starts we win this game.

 

Honestly, if the alternative is Willock, I'm starting Anderson instead.

 

I was annoyed with Willock against Tranmere where Anderson outperformed him, and again today he was poor and worse than that just casual as ever.

 

Great that we got a point but this game was right there for us, even without Bruno, Wilson and Isak. However, missing those three and then having Willock in there strolling around was just too much in the end.

Willock keeps his legs together and we win that game

The stat which does tell a story is having over 50% of your shots classed as blocked (as opposed to on or off target.) Backs up the conclusion I reached with my bare eyes that a lot of our attacking players seem to lack conviction and often take 2 or 3 shots where 1 should do to set ourselves before shooting, giving the defence time to close us down.

 

Area for improvement there imo.

Just watched it. Thought it was a solid performance, tbh, considering we were missing 2 of our best players. Our play in 2/3s of the pitch was generally great - lovely structure and some nice patterns of possession. A few good interchanges in the final third too but we're not great at breaking down sides who are sat deep as it is. What a moment from Maxi.

 

Solid point against some good players (but seemingly not a good team). I was surprised at how passive their midfield was.
