How much of today’s game did anyone actually learn? This article might be better named “Things We Already Knew, Interspersed with the Events That Went Down at Bramall Lane.” Even the most lazy screenwriter would have found the way the game unfolded to be formulaic. The frustration that all Wolves fans must be feeling right now does not go away with predictability. A performance, a game, and the outcome felt like a kick to the belly that Wolves will need to get over soon.
1. LIKE WOLVES, NO CLUB ENDS OTHER TEAMS BAD RUNS.
This is not a recent development; it is a long-standing tendency. Teams that are struggling should consider their next schedule and hope the Wolves will be visiting their city soon. This has been there for so long that it seems to be as much a part of the Wolves’ history as the vintage gold kit. It is an integral element of the club. We cannot write this off as a coincidence. These games always have an air of impending doom. A self-defeating prophecy that always comes true, a pessimism that appears to call reality into the universe Poor Sheffield United performed badly in the opening half of the match. Wolf packs were in a different level than their rivals, yet Wolves are unable to evade their predestined fate for some reason due to the way nature operates. The bread will arrive with the butter side down, the other line will move more quickly, and on strong runs, Wolves will provide points to weaker teams.
2. THE BIG MISS WAS PEDRO NETO.
When their greatest players are out, even the strongest teams with the deepest squads suffer. When the concerned player is in peek form, they miss them even more. It was always going to be tough for Wolves to replace Pedro Neto. It thus proven. Despite having several more gears at their disposal and being significantly superior to their opponents, Wolves were unable to convert their superiority into goals or even chances in the first half. What Wolves managed to produce was a never-ending list of advantageous positions that merely required additional cunning to materialize. When they finally succeeded in opening the door, it was either a mishap or Always, a poor choice ensued. You had the impression that the players had lost faith in themselves and were yearning for their talisman to open the floodgates. Without Neto, someone had to take the initiative, assume responsibility, and push the squad into a well-earned lead, but that person never materialized. There was a noticeable over-reliance on Neto, and his return is much-needed. It’s clear that Wolves lack depth, so some reinforcements in January are required.
3. THE ISSUES WITH NELSON SEMEDO
Semedo is a talented player—possibly more talented than people realize. He is a reliable defender who seldom gives up and plays quick build-up football that causes issues. The most important tactical move of the game was Sheffield United’s adjustment after halftime to bind up Semedo and prevent him from finding space.
He was Wolves’ greatest threat in the first half. But as soon as Semedo enters the enemy zone, something occurs to him. His professional football career seems to abruptly vanish from his memory, his brain seems to mush, and an evil spirit ties his shoelaces together to keep his feet from moving properly.
Not only in this game, but even though his ability to attack so much in the first half made it very clear in this instance, it happens in every game. Semedo is a wingback who poses a threat to opponents up until he enters the penalty area. The numbers are unambiguous.
Semedo does not earn opportunities; Semedo does not complete opportunities. Crosses consistently find their way to the keeper, and shots are either blocked or avoided completely. Semedo is a wonderful fit for the advanced full-back position that Wolves will continue to use for most of the pitch. However, a player who frequently finds himself in advanced positions ought to give Wolves more.
The apparent substitute has the exact opposite issue. Due to his lack of speed, Doherty frequently loses. Nonetheless, he can be very effective in the opposing zone. How much Wolves trade for a cross between the two.
4. VAR IS NOT ALWAYS AT FAULT.
In the second half, Wolves were simply awful. It’s easily the worst game they’ve played this season. Bellegarde’s late equalizer should have given Wolves a point that they had roughly earned in the first half, but it came out of nowhere given the circumstances of the contest.
Seldom will you see a half like that in any level, much less the greatest league in the world, where one team keeps on making mistakes in the fundamentals of football. Simple passes were frequently misdirected, either slightly behind players or prompting them to change their stride, yet not to the point where they would find the opponent.
Every member of the team always made a hefty or awkward first contact. Conditions would have played a part, but it continued. similar to a virus that hit the entire group. Poor decision-making occurred. Goal kicks that never end, punted to nobody, and creating issues
The team’s confidence isn’t helped by the goalkeeping error that is now routine. Although there was some luck involved, Toti’s clearance was haphazard and aimless, contributing to Sheffield United’s well-executed opening goal. After improvising an equalizer,
Wolves were unable to take the lead. They were unable to seize the football. When it was finally theirs, foul passes! The final winner was the one who gave up the ball on a foul throw! After then, a lot occurred, including a contentious corner and several opportunities to clear the ball until the unavoidable occurred. The fundamental reason for this outcome was Wolves’ inability to perform the fundamentals of football to the necessary level. It was not the officiating or VAR that caused the loss.
5. IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK HERE FOR FABIO SILVA.
It was an odd cameo all around. 30 seconds after entering the game, he was booked, missed a header, and gave up a penalty, all of which left him visibly upset. His performance was not devoid of effort; quite the contrary. The club and supporters are eager for him to succeed, and he appears to be desperate to do so. For certain players at certain clubs, it simply doesn’t work sometimes. It appears that Wolves will have to pay a high price for that lesson. Fabio Silva is a player who, if ever, needed a goal to go in off their literal ass. Silva’s final comments and the contentious nature of the social media response make it feel like the camel’s back may have finally been broken here.
6. WOLVES ARE NOW LIKELY TO WIN OVER TOTTENHAM.
disappointing outcome, game, and performance. I had better take a draw and leave for home. However, wolves being wolves, they frequently take excessively long routes. Is it really surprising that the team currently in first place wins after losing to the bottom club without a win in ten? It’s how the Wolves do it.
