Hmm. Misplaced is one thing - but to give to the only defender anywhere near is another. Any other inch on the pitch would have done - it's almost like he panicked.

Unfortunately, I’ve never seen a more tragically bad and mistimed pass than that one.

I’m sorry, but if you can’t blame a player for that error then you can never really blame a player. It was horrendous.

Why did the entire defence forget their day job?

I’m actually struggling to process how bad a mistake that is for an elite level footballer.
Baleba was taking what I considered unnecessary risks but it seems that he should have stayed on the pitch. Disaster.

It’s part of a mistake that cost 2 points. Experienced heads may have realised we are deep in stoppage time and winning and taken the ball towards the corner (to the groans of the stadium) and taken a corner or a throw in and killed the game off. The pass didn’t have to be played.
To many also over committed to the overload as well. Maybe not enough premier league experience on the pitch to consider if we misplace that pass we are going to be countered.
Manager spoke about momentum before the game and how you can be punished when you lose it. Today we lost the control for 10 minutes and it cost us.
Game management is what it is about. There a young bunch and it’s about learning from it

Don’t really understand this running to the corner talk. We literally had a 4 on 1 situation, with no other wolves players other than the keeper anywhere to be seen.
To not just carry it and play the easy ball is absolutely insane. It’s genuinely one of the worst bits of play I can remember.

Here we go… scapegoat city. Give the guy a chance. Today wasn’t good, but it’s early days. One bad kick of the ball doesn’t make a bad player. Let’s see how he responds to this and move forward from there.

Give the guy a break. He made a mistake, shit happens.
I have every confidence he will bounce back and become a vital member of our squad going forward.

It’s not just one bad passez he’s been our worst player in ever game he’s played so far. Would have been better playing with 10.

There’s a difference between recognising a catastrophic error and writing a player off.
Today was a catastrophic error which unfortunately for him has been preceded by average at best performances.
He’s got a lot to do to prove himself.
I think it is fair to both believe he has every chance of coming good eventually, and highlight that that was a truly awful piece of play

For how little he was on the pitch, he had a number of bad touches

You can blame a player without hurling abuse at them, though.
Yes, he made a mistake - a huge one. But it happens. We - and he - will move on.
