Frustrating evening for Wolves after title chasers Arsenal win 2-0. Dave gives his thoughts on the defeat. Wolves 0-2 Arsenal - Premier League Match Review & Reaction
A great effort by Wolves hugely depleted side, that had players in the starting XI not fit to last 90 minutes and others playing in very unfamiliar positions. A huge commendation to Gary O'Neil that, under the direst of circumstances and against a Champions' League team he organised and motivated the team so well. Wolves held their own for much of the game, even though naturally we had pretty much zero going forward. There was some calm possession play by my Old Gold favourites after a slightly shaky start. Arsenal were fortunate to score with a mis-cued shot on the stroke of half-time to gain what I thought was an undeserved advantage. In the end the odds were too heavily stacked against Wolves, but the lads can be proud of their efforts this evening. dylanwolf in the billyq
Well it wasn’t as bad as we thought? 🤷🏽 Fair play for holding their own with the bare squad we have. Some positives with Chirewa debut. Onto Wednesday and hopefully some fit players.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Wolves played quite well. They kept Arsenal quiet until halftime. I really thought Wolves would get back into the game but it wasn't to be. Better luck against Bournemouth, COYW, Always Wolves 🐺
This sounds uncharacteristically jaded from you Dave. Honestly thought the lads and the fans showed more spirit than they "knew that Wolves season is over and we'll finish mid-table". No offense intended, just think they have their backs against the wall and still they are pushing in every way possible to be competitive and be a threat to even the strongest team in world club football. Looking forward to your review with fresh eyes during the week. Keep well sir.
Decent performance tbh! There were moments where more confidence and quicker thought would have helped (that all comes from the players we were missing) a fluke first goal turned things a little, normally those mis-kicks fly off for a throw in!!! Optimistic given our situation
I feel we were lucky to get out of that game without a red card. Besides that I was quite happy with our performance. Trossards goal was quite lucky too.
Pretty miserable game all round but with a fit squad we’d have beaten them, they weren’t really on it either. Expected a real spanking so I think they did OK with what they had.Fully agree though, if FOSUN ain’t finally getting the message now they never will.
I was proud of the performance. Considering the players we had on the bench, Fosun have to get their money out. It’s down to them. If 5hey don’t want to lay the funds then go and take Sa with them. Thanks for the report Dave.
WoW WoW WoW, our fans, & the lads didn't deserve to lose this game. Just hope our players who are going have offers from other clubs realise that they will not get better adulation & game time with any other team. 🧡🖤
