Reminds me of the Moyes era and Januzzag kept bailing us. Greenwood doing same twice now. They seem to be no team play.

Let's be honest. We are absolutely brutal in about 80% of our games under Ole, regardless of personnel. It's a results business though at the end of the day and he does get results more often than not

A few reasons, we weren’t home with the crowd behind us, Leeds play expansive football which plays into our favour and Southampton/ Wolves play a style which we always struggle against.

We struggled against Wolves when they used to park the bus.

Now we struggle against them when they press.

Wolves got back into position very quickly, were very organised and they counter at blistering pace.

To be honest, if you swapped Fred with somebody who could handle Traore, they’d have no threat at all.

No other team in the league will play against us the way Leeds do.

Wolves are a very good, organised and drilled team.

Leeds are less so. Can't win every game 5-1.

Even with Traore they're less threat—they still haven't scored the season. But they controled much of the game and have a style. We were just a mess.

We're probably seeing the effects of having less of a pre-season than the other teams (after a banker against leeds, who just don't learn their lesson).

Might be worth considering Leeds are crap.......


......... perhaps.


That, plus early season and end of season games have a 'knack' to producing weird results/scorelines.

We got away with it today but won't against a potent side

I don't think Ole knows his best 11 yet.
