Not pretty on the eye, but it's not about how, but how many.

It was (IMO) intensity. We didn’t need this change or that, we just needed to be better than we showed. We started the second half with all of the players a lot of people were wanting to be taken off. Strange that ?
In the end, as poor as we were, we didn’t exactly give up a load of chances, stayed fairly solid and then played very well in the second half, we could easily have scored three or four.
There’s a lot more to come from our team.

I'm unsure how Wolves disproved that today.
Despite controlling the midfield for large periods of the game, they lost due to conceding from a set-piece and we created several other aerial chances / half-chances (Kane headed onto the bar and forced a finger-tip save, Son flicked a header just over and the keeper didn't appear to have it covered, Sanchez should have at least forced a save but failed to connect properly....etc.). We struggled to create clear cut chances, during a sub-par performance, but got away with it thanks to our superior aerial threat.
Wolves looked more threatening in the final third after bringing on Jiménez, who is 6'3" and offered a focal point for their offence.
For me, their lack of height / our superior height cost Wolves the game.

And option could be what Conte did when Bissouma came on. 3 at the back, 2 WB's/wings, 3 in the middle, 2 up front... I liked that idea as a tactical twist. ?

Thought Emerson was solid again today. But Bentancur looked off to my eye, particularly in the first half.
Agree second half much better despite just having two in midfield. Difference was a much higher tempo and Emerson and Kulu showing for the ball much better, Bentacur had options that weren’t there in the first half.

Yeah, I don’t think the formation’s necessarily the problem, but the way we play it sometimes. The first half was lethargic, the second half there was much more energy and attacking intent. Felt exactly the same last week. At the moment, as brilliant as Son is, Richarlison really feels like the one who ups the energy

Top of the league. For a short while anyway.

I’ve seen various answers on this, some of which have been hopelessly wrong ? ie it’s not a camera in the crowd as someone said. Might as well offer my informed knowledge … It’s just all the press photographers cameras being picked up on the broadcasters FX mic. FX levels can vary a little from game to game and also the crowd wasn’t the loudest today, probably explains why it was more noticeable

Kane has never been thus good with his head. Even though his headed goal was relatively simple, the movement was fantastic. Forced a good save and hit the bar with a header too.
