Eriksen added nothing. Trippier can cross beautifully but cannot defend, absolute gash defender.

It baffled me how Lamela at 90 mins was still full of energy, but Eriksen could barely look bothered to run

Fullbacks are instrumental in modern game and we have 2 of them aren't good enough. Trips can be good with 3 defenders but otherwise he is too much of a liability. Midfield is terrible and needs big improvements in all midfield roles.

Another appalling win!! How long are we gonna keep getting away with this type of performance?!! If we carry on getting wins, the players will carry on serving up this shit, as there will be no reason for them to step it up!! I'm worried, because once it goes tits up, i can see it destroying the rest of the season!!!

I am not laying any blame whatsoever on Juan Foyth for that, the person to blame is Keiran Trippier.

The “support” he offered a young player making his PL debut was absolutely disgraceful.

Trippier has had a terrible season thus far and I hope that Aurier rightfully takes his spot.

Are you fucking high? He was one of our better players in that last 30! Relieved a lot of pressure with his ball carrying
He can be useful for that but he's just so clearly adrift of the quality a Top 4 side needs it's unreal. I really haven't seen many turn out for us since 2005 with less technicaly ability than he has, and he's got no eye for even a simple but effective pass once he's into a good position. Decent seeing a game out, decent as a backup holding mid when Dier and Wanyama are unavailable, but really no more than that and we'd be much better off if we had enough quality for him not to need to be starting regularly.

Seriously got lucky today....!
Trippier needs to be removed from this side for a few weeks - Aurier & KWP need to play... he was absolutely woeful and if we dropped points today, he should have to come out and take personal responsibility... yes the whole team went to jelly and until we get a real leader in this side we win nothing but at 3-0 up if trippier doesn't do what he does, we win 3-0 IMO. we were under no pressure and he did that, we won but I am still so mad as we made such hard work of that. well played wolves though, you didn't deserve defeat today

Trippier needs to be dropped. Had a hand in both wolves goals. Second goal started complaining to winks about a shit pass instead of getting back into position
They had chance after chance on our left side, both full backs need replaced as a matter of urgency if we are to do anything this season, stick with them and we are fucked

At 1-0 v Watford, at 1-0 up v Inter, at 2-1 up v PSV, at 3-0 up v Wolves we looked very professional, but once we conceded a goal we looked far from it. Can't figure it out. Show signs of the team we are, but have mental lapses and can't close out the game with ease.

Also, we need to value clean sheets. We don't and that more than anything will see us and has seen us drop points.

Poch brought Eriksen on to get on the ball and keep possession. That did not happen.

Foyth will get there, some silly mistakes but it’s going to happen when you’re learning. I would say that was 2 points gained today and we now push into 4th with lots of improvement ahead of us. Start playing some home games and we’ll be flying.

People have to remember we lost Dembele after 3 minutes so our whole set up and tactics changed in that instance. We were basically playing Winks in midfield on his own in midfield in a 4141 formation. It was no surprise when he got tired our game went to pieces.
