I think perhaps Wieffer lacks a bit of footballing intelligence at times - he pairs better with older players like Milner but he has talent - he was impressive against Everton in the first match of the season.
Eh? The mods deleted my thread along with my explaination of why it was edited initially! - I thought I was quoting you on this thread. I had no idea your original post was directed at me because the mods merged the thread - I didn’t request them to! I thought your comment was a general one about the bedwetters - I just asked ‘what you were missing?’ and said tongue in cheek that ‘I missed the end of the match!F**king hell, how to confuse me!
2nd reply to original thread...... Ah, now you've changed the thread title, removed the pic & edited the post, I don't feel so stupid anymore!

That’s a painfully simplistic way of looking at things. The second half was tactically incompetent from our manager - Baleba was totally isolated due to Wolves’ changes, and it basically gave him no outlets. He’s a brilliant footballer, but he’s not Superman. He can’t always pick up the ball and beat 3 men to get us up the pitch, all on his own.

It was more why was Wieffer on the pitch when Carlos was shutting everything down superbly

Baleba’s been amazing, much loved here. Second half his game deteriorated, dithering in dangerous places. Not the only one, our pass completion looked like it dropped off a cliff.
And I don’t by the cop out that that Wolves caused it all with greatness.
We weren’t cute. Them pushing forward left an empty half to be exploited, at the very least for Albion game management.
Honourable exceptions to Welbeck and Rutter, Nouri won’t want to play against Rutter anytime soon.

I do wonder why he has the Ayari role so far from the baleba role. We were talking about that today. I would say it works well in certain instances, having a ball player high up. As the game went on and their legs went they need to get together and tighten up. I suppose he brings weiffer on to be like for like but we'd started losing control of midfield long before that.

Not really, judging by how the last 10mins went his goal got us a point. We very much got the second against the run of play in my view.

So Fkn infuriating
The game changed the minute we took the beast off..
spoke to Wolves fans in the way home, they even said he ran the game, and sensed a result was achievable when he was substituted, I don’t get it….
Not Fkn happy

If Fab can get this squad playing at the same intensity for 90 minutes, we're going to be some team.
Yet to see a game where we don't go cometely off the boil for 30 minutes.

It’s the frustration of not beating teams below us at home it has to be a mentality issue within the squad. Top teams see the game out we become a panicky mess. Chalk and cheese halves of football aren’t going to get us to where we want to be.

Yeah,but the final result probably increased the chances of that happening.

Wolves were clear winners of the second half there, a constant threat. And that was before the Albion decided to shoot themselves in the achilles heel with both barrels. Sake!

Having just got a 2nd to (what we all thought would) kill the game off in the 86th minute? Come on
It's not that - today - it's that we were 2 - 0 up, with not long to go. I'd have been gutted to end 2 -2 against Man City, in the same scenario
Wasted a win...simple as that.

Agree, Carlos has come on leaps and bounds why? Because he is getting plenty of PL game time we can’t expect Wieffer to settle in and play superbly with a few minutes here and there in a new league. TB apparently has chased him for two seasons are we saying he’s wrong on this one? I will reserve judgement.I think perhaps Wieffer lacks a bit of footballing intelligence at times - he pairs better with older players like Milner but he has talent - he was impressive against Everton in the first match of the season.
