Clean sheet gone

What a goal by Cunha. A neat neat player, and it's not coincidence so many clubs wanted him

The effin title will be gone as well if we dont wake the eff up. Just giving Arsenal hope a performance like this even if we win.

Robbo is struggling so bad with everything. He tries so hard every game so it's hard to get annoyed with him, but he's making so many errors.

We've been dreadful this second half.

Nunez, Endo, Bradley and Quansah have made us worse. 

Hanging on by our fingernails right now.

FT: Liverpool 2-1 Wolves

Unreal...for the second match in a row, we go into injury time hanging on to dear life

Got away with that one. Composed and in control for the first 45 mins, but went to pieces in the second half. Didn't even register a shot.

Worries me how leggy we looked. Next stop Villa...

Thank eff for that. We look like we've hit the same wall we hit this time last season.
Bournemouth, Everton and now Wolves...3 poor performances on the run.

Sh*t that was nervy, yakka definitely called it at half time. There are no easy games from now until the end, neither for us nor Arsenal.

I can't agree that the subs were terrible though. Endo, Bradley and even Quansah did very well defensively during periods of intense pressure by Wolves.

Seems like we are having our first dip of the season, we are not controlling matches like in the first half of the season. In fact in the first half of the season we were a second half team, in the second half so far we have become a first half team. Clearly spells fatigue and I hope we can just weather this period without losing too many points. A comfortable win would have sent a message to the league, today we kept their hope up even though we won.

Happy for the three points but disappointed with the second half effort.

We are Definitely holding on, 2nd half was poor. Is it just a dip or shall we begin to worry. There will be performances like this but twice in a row is definitely a dip in form. Main thing we got the 3 points.

I struggle to see our squad depth. Especially with Gravenberch, Mac, Trent, VVD and our forwards looking tired.

Endo looks half the player he was last season gives away stupid free kicks in dangerous areas.
Quansah blows hot and cold.
Bradley is a decent player, but I'm not sure he's good enough to replace Trent (or even stand in for him).
Nunez did feck all.

We've got Villa, City and Newcastle next. Quite likely the make or break part of the season. Let's hope we find a second wind

Good job we are out of the F.A Cup looking at our energy levels there, Starting to look like Plymouth did us a favour. If i was Arne i certainly wouldnt be putting them through their paces in training, in fact at this stage of the season i'd be giving them time off not training sessions. At least our next 2 opponents [Villa and City] are CL teams themselves so should have played a similar number of games.

After being 2-0 up I think Arne thought we could coast this now, so why not preserve ourselves. As you said mate we've got some tough games that could alter things, If Arsenal also continue to win. This is going to be a nervy title battle.

Yup last season lads did get knackered, which was obvious to see. We are lucky we ain't got loads of injuries.

We looked absolutely knackered around the 70th minute mark. We were the same last season, and we've got identically the same team. It's gonna be a struggle to finish the season strong.

Not a great game tbh and imo we are riding our luck a good bit during games lately. That second half was terrible tbh and the subs didn't make any difference. Endo is really no good and such a headless player clattering into anything that's stood still. He's a liability imo especially when our goal is under pressure. Taking Konate off was the right decision as he would have seen red sooner or later.

Attacking wise we didn't do an awful lot. The penalty on Diaz is one of those he was never going to score and just looked for contact to go down. He was never going to control it and finish..He just wanted to get anything on it to go down and it's a big problem in the league. Jota then was just embarrassing and should have gotten a yellow for a blatant dive. I hate seeing us resort to this kind of stuff to get the edge in games.

Happy with the 3 points though and it just goes to show how tight it is at the top. We need to be mentally tougher over the next few weeks as a few tough games on the horizon. Starting with villa on Wednesday where a win is vital as it's a game brought forward thus giving Arsenal a game in hand on us.
