Comms saying a deflection on the shot so Leno was diving and had to adjust so it was all he could do

Wish I hadn’t posted about him. Two minutes later he did the business.

How, deflected massively and managed to get a leg on it.

nevermind the abysmal defending that led to it

Yes deflection on shot, but even so he should have done better. Soft hands

Really missing Partey. Just those few minutes he has played for us shows how he's absolutely miles above every midfielder we have and shows how far away our midfield without him is to be anything close to competent. Probably bottom 3rd in the league central midfield without him I'd say

Why are we letting Luiz take these long range free kicks? when was the last time he even hit one on target?

We have no midfield. None whatsoever

Surely Maitland Niles is worth a try then these jokers

That's is 2 rebounds that Wolves have been first to for their goals

He's worth a shot.

The commentator said "ooh he'll he upset by his own high standards there" Er, no.

We're getting torn apart with pace and power. Where is the pace in this team. central midfield is totally pedestrian and so slow to react to anything. All over the pitch, slow, immobile just really really poor - and because so many of our problems are down to a lack of physicality and athleticism there really isn't a solution to it, we have to suffer it until we can clear out this squad.

He was very good when he came on away to wolves to specifically deal with Traore

And why is Aubameyang captain? He’s not captain material.

But then who in this team is?

Give it Kieran

Slo mo play through the centre. So dispiriting.

Make sense.

58% possession to wolves, 8 shots to our 3 and they lead 2-1 - dominated us through the entire match. They're playing like the home team and they aren't exactly a team flying with confidence and are a team who is really only going to finish about 8th this year. Leeds dominated us as well. Where exactly do we stand now? It feels like somewhere 10th-14th at best right now

At least he seems to give one and he’s vocal.

Aubameyang never seems to utter a word

Roy Keane talking about player safety on the pitch.

The irony.

I'm at a loss here. We've played lots of differnt systems, formations, tactics this season, we've played Aubameyang wide we've played him up top, we've had poor performing players replaced by others - it feels like we've tried so many different things to try to find some form and nothing is working. We're an absolute sorry state right now. It feels like we literally cannot go out and 'win' a game through our own quality, the only way we can do anything right now is a spot of luck, a set piece or a mistake. We've got nothing.

We invite teams on to us so we can counter but we're not quick enough to counter
We push forward but are vulnerable to the counter
Teams sit deep and we have zero creativity and pass the ball to slow
We don't have players who can play high tempo so we lose out to teams who do play high tempo
We continually get caught with lofted balls in to the space behind our fullbacks but can never execute this ourselves

Anything we try to do is just easily bested by almost any prem opponent right now

Aubameyang looks disinterested

We have a non existent midfield

Perhaps we should bring on Aubameyang for the second half.

6 teams below us right now.

About as bad as it gets for us.

Ffs it’s not Aubameyangs fault, he plays in a part of the pitch our team is unable to inhabit

Ain’t Lenos either. Embarrassing to listen to people blaming these 2 all the time.

He can't get the ball. Our build up play is painfully slow and he thrives on an early ball to run onto.

This is true.

Aargh. Horrible miss by Saka.

Impressive performance so far by Gabriel.

Ceballos and Xhaka off.

Leno should have done better on Wolves second goal. Even his biggest fan can see that surely.

I swear John Jensen was a better footballer than Granit Xhaka. He’s been abysmal today and isn’t tracking back and liable to cost us another goal

He should have scored

Massive deflection that he had to save with his feet because he was going the other way, silly talk

Notice I didn’t say who should come on instead.

We could go down to 9 without those two and we wouldn’t be much worse.

Why is Ceballos picking up the ball in the right back position all the time?

Have another look

And in any case, I'm not sure you can point at it for the reasons we're behind. Just get the ball to Saka as early and often as possible, and get Aubameyang near him. The commentator ex Wolves player, *%^@ off, is winding me right up

Where does a central midfield of Xhak/Ceballos/Willock sit in terms of each prem team in the league? I'd say the following teams have a better central midfield than us: Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Spurs, Man U, Everton, Wolves, Leicester, Leeds, Villa, Southampton, West Ham

I didn’t say it’s all his fault we’re behind. But he should have done better for the goal.

We are absolutely *%^@*** rubbish. There are comfortably 6-8 teams better than us in the league at the moment. We need to give Arteta time but boy is he making hard work of our PL form. We are dreadful.

Always look on the bright side of life, as the song goes. At least I haven’t paid £14.95 for this.

Agreed.

We’re not as good as we either think, or perhaps more accurately, hope we are.
