I can't remember many times we had Mateta and Edoard on at the same time, certainly worked yesterday. Last minute goal from Wolves was annoying, as was first from set piece Both Wolves goals have to be a worry going forward as we don’t seem to learn.

They outnumbered us when they did so. Their build up play and passing in the final third was awful. It’s not a coincidence that they scored twice when they were behind as they put a lot more players up to get on the end of crosses. However that also gave us more space when their attacks broke down which Eze exploited. We won’t face that aerial threat with that many players up in every game.

Three good goals. I thought Eddy's second was a great goal worthy of being a goal of the month contender. The old "one-two" via a deft back-heel and expertly tucked away; if one of the top clubs had scored a goal like that, the football media would be orgasmic.

Unfortunately we saw similar to this too much last season. I don’t think the Wolves game was a one-off and we will continue to get caught out in the air. As good as Guehi and Andersen are on the ground and passing, I feel their weakness is in the air. I would like to see us using whichever goalkeeper is best at dominating their area to give more confidence to the CHs if possible. Guaita didn’t dominate in the air at all, Johnstone is slightly better, not sure about Henderson as haven’t seen enough of him. At one point last season, giving away a corner was almost as bad as giving away a penalty which surprised given our coaching staff strengths.

Ward had a much better game than at Brentford. Maybe the rain did him last week.

I thought we were good value for the win. When Wolves were on top in the first period i felt we never looked liked conceding but once we wrestled control we had a cutting edge to our game which Wolves didn't.

I’ll give them their dues, Ward & Mitchell were both a lot better against Wolves than they have been in recent times. I’ve been critical of both and Ward still looked very exposed / vulnerable at times but both he and Mitchell were more solid and involved and the cross Tyrick put in for the first goal was superb.

Mitchell said yesterday that he's been working on his crossing in training - maybe Wilf's presence held back that part of his game but it was an excellent ball made even better by his getting it in early. If he can bring that more into his game it'll be a real asset with Eddy or Mateta, maybe even both waiting, and Eze and Olise ready for any half clearances.

I also am a fan of Schlupp. Against Wolves he didn't have a good game but he was spending a lot of time in his weaker position, up front wide left. Roy rates him, uses him well and we will almost certainly be seeing a lot more of him. He is a versatile asset and can score goals.
