Two points dropped, I don't see us getting top 4. I can't see us not dropping more points than the competition.

Frustrating but there were some positives today. Key among them Sarri showing some capacity for experimentation - more so than the moaners...

Sarri tried to run to tunnel without shaking hands, but other manager got him in time. Classless by Sarri 

Yet again from him. He is starting to look ignorant and without any class. Out classed by Nuno....again.

We can still make top4

So painful to watch... We never looked like scoring and I'm sick to death of seeing that lineup. 

What did we even do in front of goal? Absolutely nothing.

If Morata played like Higuain has while he’s been here he’d get slaughtered. He’s either no better or it’s the way we set up that makes it extremely difficult for strikers to prosper.

He is done! Milan couldn’t wait to get rid him of him & get an upgrade.

His crosses are fantastic, it's a joke that nobody is running onto them. Higuain should be busting a gut to get onto that one.

He’s getting stick in here, saying Pedro was better. Pedro offered literally nothing in his time on the park. Yes, CHO didn’t play very well but he put two terrific crosses in to the box that we should be getting players on the end of. I thought he was better than Pedro in his time on the park but neither were good enough.

Yes, we dominated them in possession but we constantly fail to make clear cut chances, we really shouldn’t be as bad at creating chances as we are. We can boss possession with the best of them but the majority of the time it’s aimless with no end product - that’s the problem people have with it. If it was a one off that would be fine, but it’s been a constant problem all season.

We had more clear cut chances than Wolves. 6 shots on target, 1 clear tapin miss by Higuain and a few shots off target, 13 corners and 65% possession. The players are doing what Sarri wants them to do and it's not good enough. The players are doing their best to create and to keep the ball in possession, it's Sarri that doesn't do anything in the match preparation against any particular opponent.

I just don't think he is good enough, I never have, especially now that he isn't as good as he once was.

A draw from Arsenal-United would help us out

this was a game we should have won

hopefully united and arsenal draw

Yeah agree with you. It's depressing AF.

Sarri should do a better manager job imo. Does he ever goand watch our opponents play to seewhat he can do tactically?

Seems like he will never change his mind about this "Sarri football "..

Arrogance stands for fall

United are much better than we are at the moment, they aren't going to finish below us. 

And Spurs might be in bad form but they've finished strong under Poch, Sarri will stick to this setup and we'll drop more points.

Sarri out he's f**king useless. 

Absolutely despise this boring, pedestrian style of football.

You’re joking blaming the manager for this?

Sixth is all we deserve. In reality Wolves are better than both us and Arsenal. Its only the points buffer built up earlier in the season that means fifth and sixth will be betwen us and the Arse.

Totally agree, even though he missed a few Morata was no worse than what Higuain offers, the plus on Morata was his pace whereas Higuain is so out of shape for a professional player its scary how he gets away with it...

True.

Not in the slightest, we are ridiculously easy to play against and it's this formation / style of play.

Our corners have been no thread to anyone for many seasons now. We seem to Be a but software in the air.

Well played to Wolves they defended well, this though is how they have played all season. Sarri failed to pick his team accordingly, Kovacic and Pedro shouldn't have started and the mould was set, play condensed into a central band with so little incision. By the time the changes was made the game had been set. Fair play to Sarri for at last realising that a change of shape was needed but we simply don't get enough bodies into the box. In the end a precious point but its a chance lost to get into the top four.

Need to keep wining in the league. Wolves are no mugs and i wouldn’t be surprised to see a draw.

Kepa 

azbi rudi luiz alonso 

Kante jorginho loftus 

Willian Higuaín hazard 

I called it before the game.

Really didn’t feel confident.

for the simple reason 

we do not play well against teams that sit back and wait for a miss placed pass and counter.

it was bloody obvious after the first half we looked in trouble! We can’t keep relying on possession football.

That was 3 points thrown away what a bloody f**k up.

forget top4 

we get nothing from this corrupted refs:

- onside not given with pepita in the box

- no second yellow and red shown which woul masively upset their double decker anti football

- despite our goal in injury time f**king ref blows right on initialy added time

 

yes we are toothless in games when teams go 11 men behind the ball but f**k off that kind of football, and their goal was a deflection of course.

thats just fatf**k sam's football next level. f**k off and i bet they will be hailed in the press

One good thing about the transfer ban is we will not be able to ship in anymore players from a sub standard Serie A

Mathematically, yes, but I don't see us dropping more points than Arsenal, United or even Tottenham with the remaining games we have. The last 5 months show the consisntency isn't there, so I don't see it suddenly changing now.
