Wolves game a curse for us

Yep, and what also seems to get forgotten is that Ait-Nourri went missing at LB for half of that match

Gusto has done very well and absolutely the right choice for this game as he is quick and mobile.

Noni on the other hand i thought we were due a performance but it seems highly unlikely. Jackson is Jackson, will probably score even if he plays poorly.

 Cole missing again in a big game. I know he’s still young but he needs to start delivering against the big boys now.

Hazard turned up, Drogba turned up, Lamps turned up, he absolutely needs to shed the tag that’s slowly building that he can’t do it against the big boys.

He has done f**k all - other than throw himself to the ground twice to win a free kick.

Also - palmer should have passed to him when he made a cracking run down the middle....but messed up by passing wide.

Thats more than what a few of other players have done this half.

Harsh on Cole. How about some other players chip in for a change.

Jackson and Noni have been woeful.

Much rather see Palmer on the right...

As someone else said Noni's biggest problem is himself, he thinks he's better than he is...

Like to see us try something a bit different - dare I say it: Take off Jackson and Noni and bring on Nkunku and Mudryk

or maybe bring on James for Noni.

 

Not impressed, same ol story really, weak in attack dreadful defending....

He has being out injured man plus Hazard and Drogba had elite players around them

On the plus side, Fofana has been very, very good so far.

I loved it when he beat the press and ran forward.

Noni has to come off 

We always come out better second half. This game is ours to be won

Scored against United in both games last season, Arsenal, City, Newcastle, Super Cup, Community Shield, Euro final, Brighton 4 this season season, Newcastle again this season. I could go on. This is nonsense being pushed by Twitter that isn't even close to being the reality. His touch in the first half and long range shot is better than anything any other player on the pitch from either team has produced today.

I think in hindsight maresca has chosen the wrong team. Why have so much depth when we never use them for instance Felix or Nkunku. Whatever happend to Sancho?

Not fit

They always turn up........in the highlight videos, but on many occasions, if you were there, you would have noticed the days they didn't turn up. It's Half time ffs. With Didier we always knew to keep our frustration in check  until at least the last second of the match!!!! Right now Palmer is the most stepped up player we have: appreciate him.

Absolutely this. I mean it’s easy to remember surely?

Greedy, greedy Madueke 

Jackson is possibly the worst centre forward we have ever had in the air. Absolutely zero aerial ability. The wingers must think "why bother crossing it?"

Madueke is doing my head in now.

Just how long you going to persist with Noni?

oh - that's ok then.....

Noni is woeful, get him off for goodness sake. The talent we have and we just have to persist with him.

Manager needs to give his head a shake 

I’d always rather have a player try something and fail than never trying anything at all but Noni needs replaced today.

don't read his thread? @Ukraine Boltwill try telling you he is great in the air - better than every other striker in the epl!

If I was Maresca I wouldn't tolerate it.  The team worked hard to get the ball back and once again he's going for glory instead of the team

We're so slow in the counter
