My god they haven't parked a bus but every vehicle possible.

New coach but those selected play the same dull, dull, dull football.

I did miss the first 10 minutes but since watching I honestly don't recall the Wolves keeper touching the ball.

Hope for a better second 45.

Tuchel snuck down the tunnel there quickly like he needed a dump before the players arrive.  Makes me optimistic for second half.

Takes time to adjust your poo habits. I've managed to get mine just after I start work every day. Saves a fortune on toilet paper

Cannot say I am surprised. We have a midfield of energy vampires

Right bunch of colin Robinsons.... 

Wolves playing with a very deep back 5, leaving no room for anything, We do have to get behind them more, but this a problem numerous managers have to overcome, good luck, Wolves negativity is impinging our attacking, 94% possession means they are just going to sit in, unless we morph into 2011-12 Barca..

Chilwell has been absolulely sh*te, the left side is just nullified, nothing coming from there. Wolves are happy with us having this much of the ball. 

Alonso is better than Chilwell for me ... especially as a wing back .... I really don't see why we signed Chilwell ?

At least we're not losing at half time so this is a more positive performance. But other than that I think that Wolves had a great chance to score after a cross, their player was totally free to score.

Seemed to start with pass forward ethos, then for some reason after around 30 minutes we referred to recent type..

This could take a while for the players to adapt to being braver in their passing.

Absolute joke of a player. Any manager who picks him over Mount, Kante, Kovacic or Gilmour is clueless. I wouldn't mind but he has not even been put under any sort of pressure whatsoever.

But he's experienced mate, that's important...apparently.  experienced at being a sack of sh*t.

The TT is standing for turgid and toothless so far ... experience failing the first audition !

Give the man a chance. 

I think Mount should sit in the changing room for the 2nd half, he must be putting these 'experienced' players off their game.

How can you possibly only add 3 minutes of stoppage time

5 minutes were wasted purely on the concussion check.

Another 3 minutes is more than enough of this utter boredom!

Enough about this topic though, how is the game ??

Could do with someone like Lampard getting a goal from a half opportunity 

Apparently he's between jobs at the moment, so sign him up.

There was a point right at the 45th were we just got got behind them and Havertz had the ball in a good position but there was nobody ahead of him. 

We're making this an easy game of them, hopefully Tuchel recognises it and makes the changes that need to be made.

Actually wouldn't mind seeing Pulisic for Chillwell, Mount for Jorginho, and Werner / Giroud.

Chillwell's lack of 1v1 ability is stalling the left side.

I think Gilmour would have looked fantastic in this line-up. Much better than Jorginho.

Getting a bit worried about Chilwell he has been mediocre for a long time now. He really needs to sort out his passing. He is decent at crossing but his short passing is terrible, which makes him give the ball away cheaply way too often.

I wouldn't say that. Chilwell was good at the start but he's looking sh*t lately, he's doing exactly what Emerson does, which is nothing. Although he does defend a lot better. 

 

Possession doesn't win games, the first 10 minutes we seem quicker then the players seem to revert to what they know

I wouldn't mind seeing Pulisic for Havertz/Ziyech or Mount for Havertz.

Chilwell has done his best job so far fully passing backwards as soon as Havertz made a run into space so they don't work together there.

Way too static in the front three. Not enough pace. The way we are playing suits Wolves right now. No penetration at all, no runs behind and when I saw the team before the kick off, that was my worry.

Alonso can't play LB in a traditional back four.

We went full Sarriball this first half.

No wonder I slipped into a coma.

The epitome of possession for the sake of possession, one of the most boring tactics in football.

Since the switch to possession based football, we have been an awful team to watch and easy team to play against. There is something about this type of football that just doesn't suit the Premier League, it goes against everything the Premier League and English football is about.
