We'll be behind by the end of March.
The City game won't matter at all.
I'm generally fine with Raya being out to claim crosses, he's incredibly good at it. Was a horrible miscommunication between him and Gabriel. I assume GK always has the right of way there, but I don't know.
The lineup choice was stupid. Started all of the runners early, then took them off when the game turned into basketball. Our record with Martinelli/Vik/Noni starting is horrible I think.
This game was lost because we lost all technical ability in the 2nd half. Couldn't win duels, couldn't string passes together, couldn't get shots off. It was coming the entire 2H, was just a matter on if we could run out the clock or not.
Just a dogshit performance from a team that has very much looked mid-table going all the way back the Bournemouth game in on 1/3. We've won 2 PL games since then.

Harteta has to be sacked for bottling this league. Has to go

I guess my problem with the raya coming for some of these is if th defender messes up he is in a better postion to save it.
Against sunderland , if he's standing in the goal that ball just loops right into his hands.
Against chelsea, he comes for a ball he's never getting and puts a pedro nothing header out for a corner that they score on. If he stands on his line that ball just goes right into his hands.
And this one, if he just stands on his line gabby just heads the ball away.
The one I dont blame him for his the Richarlson goal. He is out of his goal in that scenario to be the back pass outlet so you don't lose the ball right there in the middle of the pitch. That's not a danger area and took a good finish.

He comes out and grabs this routine ball, falls down on it, retains possession and wastes more clock. I can see the others, but this one was an easy grab for the keeper, which he definitely should have come out for.

believe this is the third time wolves scored 2 or more goals this season
the other two were burnley and west ham, both in relegation zone
they absolutely dicked this game away but it was due to happen based off their recent run of form
maybe they were playing above expectations the first part of the season and fooled everyone by doing so

These guys don't deserve to win anything if they ever play like Brentford or Wolves again.
Unimaginably level of bad play when Wolves completely outplay you for an entire half.
Arteta should be ashamed of his lineup selection. Great job trying Saka at 8. Why are we playing 3 runners against a team that'll sit in a low block for 60 min?
Clown shite all around. They've got to win this weekend and do some sort of regrouping with the week off.
BTW, 3rd draw in a row with that starting front 3. Forest, Brentford, Wolves

It will take a miracle for this team to get anything over the line.

Well him being behind Gabi makes me feel like he needs to read that better because he can see in front of him.
And even if Gabi doesn’t clear it, he has a better chance at saving it on his line than standing the middle of the box. Because from that position you didn’t cut off any angles and you have less time to react to a shot.
It’s definitely fine margins. A couple of martinelli misses over the season. Hincapie running the ball out.
These are all differences in having 5 or more points right now.

I'm struggling to see a situation in that we don't drop points this weekend either.
Spurs have had 2 weeks off basically. All but 2 or 3 guys that played today look like their legs are gone.
We've already dropped points to #20 & #17 in the standings recently.
Not sure I see the boys turning it around after the disaster class they put on today so quickly
Think I'm going to not watch

This weekend can be deadly for my happiness.
The HS team that I assistant coach is in the LHSAA semis on the road Saturday night. After the game I drive home, go to bed, and wake up to watch Arsenal in the AM in a do or die.
My teams are either going 2-0 or 0-2. I just know it. Prayers are needed for me please and thank you.

Timber was shambolic the last bit of the game. Think I counted 4 times in like 5 min that he just gifted it to the other team. His legs were done. Why does White not come on? Or move Saliba to RB and bring on Mosquera, or play Mosquera at RB?
Zubi was an absolute non factor. Lots of give aways in the last 20 min. What is so wrong with Norgaard?
Like I can accept that maybe the guys that are on the bench aren't as good when they are at their peak, but frick me, when guys are playing like shite, bring in someone else.
We just keep doing the same shite every game and he just subs off the attackers instead of trying to solidify the backline or midfield. Just at a loss for words at the decisions Arteta makes sometimes
That game would have been perfect to bring on Martinelli and Vik in the last 25-30 and just run them to death. Instead we bring on Jesus who has no legs for that, and Trossard can't beat anyone over the top either.
The blueprint was there vs Leeds & Sunderland
