Hes an old man, I think I said that if Jags and Keane start at Wolves we have failed, but thankfully im almost certain thats the last time we see them together.

...just Baines to get out then.

The team spirit is back, which looks good. I thought Keane did very well today until the mistake for their second goal, which puts a blemish on his overall performance. Schneiderlin looked alright as well, much more composed than Gueye in the middle of the park who I feel, will soon lose his place to Andre Gomes.

Can see the boy Lucas given a start next week, its on him to keep the shirt then.

It was a red mate. No question. We lost because of that 'kin divvy who I cant even bear to say the name of.

...Capt Jags...

..I would’ve been well happy with a draw before the game but now I feel a little disappointed. Very positive start,

Jagielka made a defensive mistake, it happens. Criticise the mistake but don’t castigate the man, he’s been terrific and was playing ok to that point.

The team showed character, the team showed fortitude and we were better than them.

We did well there today. Good character and some very good individual performances. The new lads will only make us better still.

We're in good shape on that evidence.

I've no doubt we'd have won that game without the refereeing mistake. So I'm fairly happy with what I saw and think there was more to like than dislike. Shame we couldn't hang on tho.

Baines had a decent game today lid...he's been one of the best LB's we've ever had.

He did alright for sure, not syaing he will be dropped for playing badly, just I think Digne was bought to play.

Absolutely this

Never a red and the boys showed their character for the rest of the game.

Well deserved point, could’ve been more. 3 points next game. Much more adventurous even with 10 men.

Wolves second. Lots of blame to go around. Keane gets it wrong for sure. Holgate is in no man's land but I don't think it causes Keane's error. Baines getting blamed, but I don't see it - even if he was closer was he going to push him in the back?
Too much space given to Neves in the first place and not enough effort to pressure him in the TWO FULL SECONDS he had to receive the ball and pick the pass.
Some blame due to at least two who could have got closer, but really NEED a Defensive organiser further up the pitch than Pickford.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Tosun was a major disappointment though. We needed both Richarlison and Tosun to be on top form to make the game plan a punishing one for Wolves.

What about Richarlison eventually coming in to the middle and Bernard going wide left?
I know some have already mentioned it and Richarlison looks like he could lead the line. (Although sqare pegs)
Maybe, if Tosun can’t step up, we just need a better striker?
Still early days, but green shoots of life

History man. Belongs in a museum.

Could have been worse

Decent point in the end
