That said, this second half performance has been terrible.

Oh yeah totally mate. It's still a poor showing - it's just the reaction and I'm incredulous that people really thought that we would keep winning almost every game, which is what it would take to win the title.

Talk of being in a title race? Made Wolves look like Barcelona 2nd half. Has Eriksen been on the sherry?

I know Lloris will get a lot of stick, but I don't blame him really. Some fucking shocking play in our midfield

Look on the bright side though, we've gone back to being 'under the radar'

The worst thing about all this is that I'm not even remotely surprised.

We all deep down knew this sort of thing would happen at some point

Oh come on. Midweek twice in December against their none. Game last Sunday, not for Wolves. We have not got the depth with all the injuries.

I don’t believe we’re ‘legends’. It’s too simplistic.
Truth is there are too many tired players. Lack of CM signings finally catching up with us.

Definitely!Too many injuries too and lack of depth in squad for good players and game changers.
This is why we should invest in January

You could see that coming from that first half. Players strolling around like it was five nil. We're not good enough to see games out 1 nill. I don't think you can realistically expect to challenge for the league with our cm and full back options.

Kane’s incessant attempted Hollywood balls were absolutely detrimental in the first half. Eriksen, Davies, Trippier, Dele, Son (second half) and Winks weren’t at the races.

Miss when our full banks could kind of defend.

I’ve said this before, we don’t have that winning mentality, don’t get me wrong we’ve come a long way but we’re still so far off

And that goes for Poch too, he doesn’t have that killer instinct

Lucas has hardly played but looks absolutely shagged as soon as he comes on. What’s wrong with him?

Really doesn’t offer that much.

He's not going to work very well against teams that sit back and counter. It was the wrong sub bringing him on for Dele. Too attacking

We looked absolutely fucked after 60 minutes and had nothing on the bench to help us.

The players need to take a long hard look at themselves after that. It was the worst 70 minutes of football I can remember from us. There's not much Poch can do when players can't complete a simple pass.

Trippier & davies
Slow
Weak
Short
Think they can dribble
Occasionally a good cross

Provided nothing going forward today and go twisted left and right by the wingers

Different game if we had kwp and rose

Liverpool spent hundreds of millions.

When are people going to realise spending lots of money with a competent manager almost guarantees success.

We have no money so top 4 is best we can hope for.

I love this team but I have to agree. We look great when we don't have a MUST win game but when we do we certainly lose our heads.

Chelsea semi final
United semi final
Juventus cl 2nd leg
Chelsea away 2016
West Ham away 2017

Its true that sometimes you can just lose football matches, but there's a pattern there. Poch needs to find the answer. Although if we had more midfield options it may not have happened.

We’ve been overly reliant on Winks and Sissoko recently. Eventually fatigue would set in.

Respect your view though.

Was hoping we would sub Skipp in for Dele to give Winks some support the midfield. Fatigue hit us hard and it was bound to happen at some point. We're bare bones and need depth to stay consistent.
