Man City

It’s hardly a surprise that one of the most technically gifted sides the game has ever seen swatted Wolves away with ease under the Molineux lights. I came away feeling very little disappointment at being totally outplayed by a team that operates at a level we’ll never get anywhere near reaching. At least most of […]

‘Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.’ Gandhi apparently, but I don’t always trust the internet. Anyway, the point is there was definitely more bite in that Wolves team on Saturday and they got their reward in the end. Chelsea are in a bad moment in the same […]

Defensive football isn’t in fashion but if it was, Wolves would be a designer label. In back-to-back games against arguably the two best attacking sides in the world, we’ve surrendered exactly one last minute scuffer and one stodgy looking penalty.

But we pushed Liverpool all the way last weekend and despite losing to City twice last season, we were competitive in both matches. We’re well organised and defensively resilient, so that’s one important box ticked. Without that, it is mission […]
