Not surprisingly, we are both playing like a team with no confidence. Could be a case of whoever gets the first goal wins.

Kudos looks like he'd rather be anywhere else 

For me, both Kudus and Somerville have been really poor in the final 3rd. Loose touches, poor crosses……. What happened to the Kudus who was running at full backs??

I'd go close to that but Fulgrug instead of Ings and maybe Alvarez or Soler instead of Soucek surely because Tomas does have a goal in him.

Two low quality teams this. We move the ball so slowly, are ineffective in the bait-and-switch.

As much as he is prone to giving the ball away, we lack the ability to unpick a defence without Paqueta because we're so reliant on a mercurial talent over the team being able to open another up with quick movement of the ball.

Bowen has been no less effective than Antonio. Kudus looks about 70% the player of last season.

Frankly we lack the individual brilliance, or the team coaching quality, to open them up with true slick pass and move.

Both these teams are shit and both managers are clueless, sacking would be the best thing for both of them.

Boring first half, get the German on.

 

Looks like one goal will do it but either side could get it. We are a slow team that plays at a slow tempo. We dont have the running power in midfield to beat their low block and after a few passes tesort to a long diagonal for Bowen or Kudus.  

Our league position reflects our team sadly. In and around the relegation places.

Bowen had a chance but they missed the best chance.  No surprise if we lose it 0-1 after dominating possession without getting many clear chances

What I expected really. A low quality performance from two sides with a poor defence and equally poor ability to score.

We have shaded it maybe overall but they could easily have been 1-0 up.

Going to be a nervous second half. Feels like a goalless draw finish.

 

playing without a striker, while there's two on the bench - insanity. like I said earlier, the bloke is his own worst enemy

One more short corner and I'm running on the pitch and putting the ball back. 

We are just so slow in build up .

For all of our lack of pace and creativity, Wolves are far more shit than us. Surely this has to be a must win for us (or at least Lopetegui).

What an advert for the premier league 

Opinions eh? I think we’re giving the worst defence in the PL an easy ride. Far too slow on the ball & very little movement.

Has Noble been coaching this lot the art of the floaty cross??

I think that's the 3rd short corner we've taken this half. I'd love to know the logic behind that given how old and slow our squad is.

The Bowen striker thing has never worked 

I'm not a JLo fan, but I can't see what you criticise here. We look sharp, have had a few decent chances and are playing pretty well.

All going a bit Meh if you ask me! started off keen enough but now its not so great.

Need a slice of luck or a touch of class and that all important goal to spark us back into action.

COYI

It’s going to be like this all game until the last second then we’ll score and win. That’ll keep the c&nt in the job for a few more games.

We really deserve an opening goal here

Summerville looking sharp, maybe stick him as a number ten with passes like the one to Soler. The rest sluggish with passing and movement. I'd personally have stuck Kudus up top with Bowen right, Kudus is stronger for me.
