Wonder what Leno is thinking,wanted out of Arsenal for 1st team football...And again on the bench.
Any streams anyone?
expect him to get 20 plus games this season but will have to work for his place
Anyone got a stream. I can't seem to get into FFTV. I don't mind paying but it doesn't seem to work.

GJ is breaking up again! Just what is up with it this year?
Come on lads,another performance like last week.
Mind you it's blistering hot for football...
Any idea how many of our supporters have made the trip?
Radio London coverage for me. COYWs.
Whats with the section of empty seats to the right of the tv view? New stand?
Thank goodness he was offside even though they didn't score. They are dangerous on the break

The radio commentary haven't mentioned it was offside, poor.
Ream has just tried to play a Wolves player offside in his own half, wtf
Didn't realise Everton already played, 2 losses for them now.
Need to fullbacks to chill a bit going forward. Wolves look very dangerous on the counter
Tete has been poor so far. He's a fantastic one on one defender and a good deliverer of the ball but his tracking back is half arsed at best.
Mitro's touch has been so heavy so far

Their new signing Onana looks a beast. Was only on the pitch for 15 minutes and his influence changed the game. Created a goal and then Everton had Villa on the backfoot until the final whistle.

Tete not started well at all.
Generally Wolves have looked sharper than us all over the pitch. They seem to be bypassing our press pretty easily.
City 1 Parker 0
Good try, BDR
Looked a bit shakey in the beginning, but growing into it. Rodak has done well so far.
Water break
We really need to get some wide options in asap.
At least this season we look competitive
Leno licking his lips after that balls up
Who can do long throws? I see spaces & unmarked on the left whenever we get throw-in on the right.
This is working for me, I gave up on GJ: https://tv.wolves.co.uk/player?feedId=81e4f698-9dbf-4e6f-b6a1-18963bf6539b§ionId=d657ce11-8438-4294-8766-def081dba964&entryId=0_6idtw5fq
oh lordy...
OK thats Rodak's big mistake
That'll be Rodak's drop moment then
Citeh 2 Parker 0.
Did exactly the same in a couple of games last year.
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum at the back for us today, good grief. When can the new boys start?
I'm staggered that we did not concede after that cock-up
Pretty clear how much we need new wingers. Willian, Kluivert or Dieng in asap please

Ps Peirera seems to be giving the ball away each time he picks it up. Not impressed so far today.
Palinha looks more intelligent in how he buys free kicks, subtle professional fouls etc
(Sorry about the player spellings!)
Citeh 3-0....Long journey home Scottie P.
Started ok but weve gone to pish
Kebano may need to come off, not his game.
We're struggling to create anything
What was Kebano doing...
Just me or is Harrison Reed Playing drifting wide right all the time so he can keep in the shade? #gingerproblems
We don't have one attacking player with break away pace. Kebano and BDR aren't threatening at this level.

Kebano and Tete competing for worst performer
Why did Kebano do that?
Credit where due, Robinson has been our MOM by far so far
Tosin thinks he's Messi. All that great work, and then tries a twirl. Just make the pass.
Kebano has been so bad
Kebano is so slow
Great run by Toisin, but then there was the easy pass to Kebano on his own (who has been bad, but was still completely free)
We need 3 wingers in, this week
Tosin not doing us any favours with that forward run
Need Cairney in second half to give us some control in this heat
Tosin gets caught so far up the pitch which ends in our new guy committing a yellow.
Kebano needs to be subbed at HT, no idea who we can bring on, but literally anyone would be an improvement
2 mins added
Would introduce Stansfield for Kebano and TC for Pereira.
What a difference a week makes, we are poor today!
Moan Moan you'd think we're 3-0 down.

Thank goodness that's the first half over. We are lucky to still be in this lethargic game.
I don't think we are poor at all. Fair result at the moment. Kebano not playing Well and Tosin is making too many mistakes
HT thoughts:
Extremely lucky not to be losing.
Rodak with an absolute balls up which should have been a goal.
Kebano absolutely awful.
Fullbacks playing too high, especially early on which they were exploiting dangerously.
Mitro's touch has been very heavy all half. Not sure whats going on with him.
No-one really playing well generally. Sloppy touches, balls bouncing off players.
We've really created nothing from open play.
They are beating our press very easily.
Surely cant play as badly second half

Hey, if we come away with a point away to Wolves itll be another good result, but that said
Agree Periera has been completely anonymous so far....none of the chasing that he did in the first game which was his main plus side for me. Appreciate its insanely hot but not stopping others like Harrison. Would indeed consider TC after 10 mins
Id genuinely consider putting Mbabu on for Kebano and swapping BDR to the left wing to be honest. Kebano showing more of the side I was concerned about at the top level, not sure his form is sustainable at the top but I hope to be proven badly wrong on that. BDR equally not great so happy for Stansfield to get a run out although he's not really a winger either
A weeks a long time in football.
The positive is that we have reached the half way stage without conceding.
Imperative we regroup and make any necessary changes that Silva deems necessary.
But we have to step it up a couple gears, because if we are the same in the second half then we are on a sticky wicket.
On the other hand we must get our act together because if we can and we have to be proactive not wait and be reactive we then have a chance of getting at least a draw.
I do feel we need to score first.

Agree generally although I will say I think Robinson is playing well, and I've been concerned of his ability in the top flight to date but he was good against Liverpool too.
Palhinha has been fairly good to, although not great that hes on a yellow now.
Ream hasn't done much wrong and again it's Tosin that has been involved in some nearly very costly mistakes.
Rodak did well enough with the shot stopping but complete hash made of that moment with Tosin.
Think that sort of thing will see him dropped for Leno sharpish.
All in all 0-0 though and it's not like they've absolutely peppered us, were just not offering much going forward which is understanable given both our starting wingers are out and Periere isnt involved in the game + Mitro with the elephant touches ha
Amazingly, Wolves haven't been much better and far from clinical. Whoever steps up and produces that bit of quality will win the game, and I hope it's us. We look a little average and already gotten our two-three mistakes.
Rodak almost gifting a goal should mean Leno gets his shot, perhaps next week.
It's not been a good day at the office. Seems communication is less of a thing for our back 4 this season for some odd reason - that mix up between Rodak and Tosin shouldn't have happened.
Wolves have been the better side sadly and have 60% possession, our defence looks shaky.
our MOTM so far has to be Reed for what he's doing. Ream has also actually been surprisingly solid today too. Nipped in to prevent a clear shot and put off their player after the Tosin and Rodak miscommunication.
Questions this game is making me ask is what is our plan b tactically? - Wolves are doing to us what we did to Liverpool and they've got a good team out but in truth we shouldn't be struggling this much, especially with the water break where Marco had an opportunity to change the tactics around.
Pereira has hardly been on the ball so hard to pass Judgement.
BDR has looked lively and is in a good contest with their LB but their LB's physicality is coming to the fore.
Palhinha is doing a solid job and we've had a few periods of looking the stronger side, but Wolves front line vs our back line and Tete's tracking back being very slow has seen us get exposed a bit too often.
That said, we've got through 45 minutes drawing and goalless so, considering we're playing poorly, could be seen as a positive.
Bournemouth are losing 3-0, but the one win for them last week still keeps them ahead of us. We're very unlucky Solomon and Wilson are out and clearly need more height and quality in the forward areas and CM.
Leno has a case to start now and so does Mbabu.
We definitely need at least one winger to come in. I remember Mbabu played on the wing for Switzerland, so maybe an option in the short term along with Stansfield...?
Yeah I'd chuck Mbabu on at RW for Kebano and move BDR to the left. Will add some solidity down that side aswell
We've somehow managed to give the ball away in attacking positions more than our own. Not sure if that's a positive, but it's a concern. Mitro gave it away twice, both at the start of the match and near the half. We just cannot afford to be poor in attacking against Wolves. They are counter-attacking at will, and soon we'll be punished. This is where the tactics really come into play and is why I always wanted Pereira to be in Reed's spot. He has better attacking prowess and can defend just as well as Reed. Rather if we put in TC, he's a liability defensively - especially against the counter.
Furthermore, this is definitely a reminder of how we need much more quality competition in the winger position now. Hopefully Kluivert and Willian deal go through without issues.
Not very good at all, a tame BDR header was our only goal attempt and a few little slips at the back could well have resulted in Wolves goals.
Our midfield are failing to set up attacks and we have no real pace in wide areas.
Changes are needed if we are to avoid defeat.

I dont think Tete has been particularly poor to be fair. Had a moment where he got caught a little on the ball but hardly a droppable offence imo. Got an assist in the last game and was very good generally. Think Mbabu should get a run out on the wing today as I've said above though
Love the Championship, Reading losing by 4 at halftime at Rotherham.
More like it from Kebano
Concerned about how the effect of the heat and Fulham chasing Wolves' one-touch passing will have on the latter part of second half. They seem to be controlling time of possession. Wolves players faster than I expected.
Not fast enough to catch Kebano
I feel theres a red card coming in this game
Saints 0-1 Leeds.
Wolves missed an open goal
What a let off
giving them the ball back too quickly
Pereira misplaces almost every pass. Kills our attacks time and again now. Hopefully he sharpens up really soon.
We need to make a change, but I'm not sure what. Need some more energy in the midfield maybe
Mitro needs to be in the box more

Yeh Im not sure hes offering much today, last week at least he was getting himself about much like Harrison does. I think Jay for him is a good move. Would LOVE for Jay to put in a good game there, theyve been playing him there for u-21s I think recently as SS
I understand that Mitro is working hard for the team, but he really needs to be in the box when we get the ball wide

I think it would be fair to say Mitro has had his fair share of both good pens and poor ones. That is why some think he isn't perhaps the most reliable
That summed Mitro's performance up today. He's worked hard but nothing he's done has come off. He's barely been in the box

Reliable is the word I was struggling to find.
I love Mitro, and won't hear all the rubbish about him not being Prem league. But I don't feel confident when he takes a pen, rarely if ever do you see the top of the net bulge. They are often low and not particularly powerful so if the keeper guesses the right way, which is a lottery, then they have a good chance to save it.
Penalties have been a problem of ours for a decade
Mitro telegram both his penalty kicks.both keepers guessed right.

BDR gets his head on it, but not good enough contact. He's not hurt though.
There was contact I mean, but not to the head.
Mitrovic's penalties career record is now 22/31. Very poor compared with most other regular penalty takers. We need someone else to do a better job. If there is one element of football which you can practise endlessly, it is penalty taking. It is something which our club has been really bad at over the years. I remember Gordon Davies at a forum after a string of matches in which different players had missed penalties saying practice was not worthwhile because you can't replicate the pressure of a game. True, but to paraphrase what Gary Player said about putting in golf, the more you practise, the luckier you get.

Taken 9 Missed 1
This feels like points thrown away
Since the big miss against Scotland he's been very good at penalties, I reckon it will be 7 or 8 in a row - most to the side netting on the keeper's right, but the odd one to the keeper's left to keep them honest.
That one was just very poor though. If keeper goes the right way it is never a score.

Why to we populate the pitch with our kids team at extra time 0-0?
Giving them a run out for the Liverpool scouts?
Strange game. Wolves basically did nothing second half, and we missed a pen, so feels like 2 valuable points dropped.
However we played pretty badly, and were lucky not to be behind in the first half. Draw probably a fair result
I am a bit worried Mitro might get a retrospective red for that head to head
It's a clean sheet and an away point.

But if you're going to say near 66% then one could equally arbitrarily say better than 75%. Of course it's not 66% or 75% it's just better than 70%.
But no, it's not good enough I agree.
It's so odd how when Mitro stepped up, one could just sense it was a miss.
Overall a good away point, even game. I will say, that these are the results we need to turn into wins given the chances to stay up though....oh well.
Two points and unbeaten, so not the worst start to the season but could and perhaps should have been better.

There is an argument for making it 22/32, as the site I took the figures from did not include the decisive one he missed against Scotland in the penalty shoot-out, although to be fair, he may have scored in other shoot-outs.
We didn't really deserve to win that, but definitely could have.
Was the perfect time to play Wolves with Jiminez out and Gueddes not up to speed. I think they will have a tough season.
I felt that about Mitro too - in the way the match seemed desitined for a draw, which in the end was the fair result.
Thank goodness Wolves aren't more clinical. They should have played better, but we should have as well.
