Whereas the close losses last season were depressing, the losses so far this season have only been frustrating. Could easily switch us with Tottenham, who have three 1-0 victories.Quote:

A great first half performance, marred by poor finishing… it’s a worry! But lots of positives in the new set up / style of play. Interesting that De Gea was voted motm on the BBC board… that says a lot.
As for the Pogba challenge on Neves I could hear the contact in the Steve Bull Upper… Roy Keane said it was a clear foul, Souness said it was a leg breaker, and he’s right… studs up, body off the floor with no control of momentum… what’s happened to VAR?
They missed a penalty in the first half as well https://twitter.com/wolvesfancast/st...022858240?s=21Quote:

Moutinho's wasted opportunity in the first half when, right in front of the goal and only a few yards out, he somehow managed to send the ball over the bar when it would have been easier to get it on target. Then came the second half goal-mouth incident which, in disbelief, we watched as Saiss (hurried for time and space) failed to scramble the ball past De Gea. Later, Trincao, failed to make firm connection when meeting a cross, sending the ball harmlessly past the outside of the post. Shame really, because I thought Trincao had a good game and looks a very promising prospect for our future. As for referee, Dean, what can one say ? although it does seem to me that whenever he's in charge we struggle to get a fair shake. However, for all our disappointments thus far, I still think that under Bruno we can look forward to an interesting, competitive season. Now if only we can learn to score a goal or two.......
