Love him but found his starting 11 surprisingly cautious. That defence and midfield didn’t sit right with me at all. I feel like he compromised far too much and it cost us. Fair enough if we had lost with likes of Phillips and Lo Celso starting. Or if they were so bad they had to be subbed. At least the proactive intention would have been there. There are no players that we have that are going to make up for the likes of Maddison and VDV but at least we can pick players that have similar mindsets even if they aren’t at the same technical level.
Picking that back line and midfield is going to only lead to one thing - sideways passing, a loss of control in key areas and a monumental lack of creative thinking. If Wolves were even semi competent in attacking areas we could have been owned convincingly. Very negative team selection for someone who seems so determined to attack. Hopefully he has learned from this and decides to take a more positive risk even if it ends with the same final score.
