Wolves' first league goal since October

I think I've seen this movie before. I don't like it but for some reason I keep watching it.

I thought it was pretty cool how we were just watching Wolves play on that goal rather than doing, I don't know, anything.

We should've sacked this guy at the end of last season. He's never going to get it turned around

Wolves defensive line is suicidal. Thanks for that guys.

I'm not saying we will win, but wow Wolves are bad.

I think the Wolves manager got all giddy at watching his team score a goal and decided to YOLO his defensive line in midfield.

We just need to play Wolves every week.

Both Wolves CBs just standing and holding their arms up in the universal signal of "I'm beat please bail me out can call offside".

Nice ball by Bruno. Let's score 2 or 3 more. Lord knows our GD could use it

Amad flat refuses to pass. He just dribbles in from a wing. It's infuriating

I really need a break from Amad at RWB. I'm going to regret saying that when I see Dalot there for the next month but Amad has been poor for at least a month now. Maybe more.

I like how the refs always say "My final decision is..." after a VAR review. As if there will be a time when they say "Right now I'm thinking it was a penalty but I could be persuaded otherwise later after a beer."

I swear Amad just took a swing at a teammate as the camera broke from the group celebration.

Announcer is not happy that the handball is given there but not first half, but I think they have to give that one because it was intentional; he moved his arm outward.

Bruno converts the PK. Now let's not concede any more goofy goals here

Yea he definitely looked like he was having a go at someone

According to the Athletic, our xG is 4.1. I'm wondering when was the last time we had an xG that high.

Thank the lord Wolves are one of the worst premier league squads of all time.
Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Well, Wolves are bad but so is Burnley and that didn't stop us from making that game way too competitive. At home no less. They played a very solid 2nd half and didn't let that 10-15 minute spell at the end of the 1st half become a trend.

How the F is this squad level on points with Chelsea at 5th?
Showstopper

Well, they chased the loss to Arsenal with a loss to Leeds and a draw to Bournemouth. We aren't exactly in a position to point fingers, but they've been a little poor the past few weeks in dropping 8 points out of 9. *shrug*

Sounds like Amorim might be at least sporadically changing formations soon...potentially as soon as tonight. He's been alluding to some changes and the imminent departures of Amad and Mbeumo coupled with De Ligt and Maguire injuries suggest he kind of has to now. I like Heaven but I'm not sure I want to trust him as the middle center back in a back 3 for an extended period of time.

Reports they've been practicing a 4-3-3 more. I would assume the front 3 would be a narrow 3 since we no longer really have any true wingers on the first team. If Mainoo can't get into a new 4-3-3 (should it actually come), then just sell the man in January and be done with it.

I don't think it's really the CBs that's the issue though; we will be playing Luke Shaw plus two CBs either way. It's basically a choice between (during AFCON):

Sesko
Cunha - Mount
Dorgu-Bruno-Case-Dalot
Shaw-Heaven-Yoro

Or something like:

Sesko
Cunha-Bruno-Mount
Mainoo-Case
Shaw-Heaven-Yoro-Dalot

So as far as personnel, you are basically picking between Dorgu and Mainoo… (potentially a couple options like Zirkzee in the 10s/9, Licha at CB, but… we have an undeniably thin bench during AFCON).
Showstopper

Or maybe you play Dorgu at LB, Shaw/maybe Licha at LCB and Yoro/Heaven RCB? I don't know about that though… I think Dorgu has a little more defense than Amad maybe, but that's not saying a ton..,
Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I think if Maguire or De Ligt was available, say at the expense of Heaven, that Amorim would probably not be as interested in entertaining the 2nd option over the 1st.
Showstopper

Well, I guess we won't know, but seems like the problem is losing our right side, and we don't left footed attackers to replace.

Great. Adams is out with a knee issue. I'm sure Poch is puckering in a corner somewhere.

Amad with the goal from a howler off the Bournemouth GKer.

If the xG on that Amad goal was anything less than .98, then we need to bin the whole system.

Not sure why that took so long.
