We asked for your thoughts after Saturday’s Premier League game between Wolves and Newcastle.
Here are some of your comments:
Wolves fans
Will: We’ve certainly turned a corner. We are back to being competitive. Newcastle are a Champions League level team, so it’s a good point and a fair result because the game was 50-50 . We look less error prone in defence and we now carry the attacking threat that was missing previously. It is largely down to Tolu Arokodare being fitter and the introduction of Mateus Mane. This has meant that Jhon Arias and Hwang Hee-chan have improved too. The damage has been done in the first half of the season but it looks like we will get some points during the rest of the season and maybe a cup run if we are lucky.
David: A workmanlike performance, just lacking a bit of composure with some straightforward passes going astray. But, we’re proving to be more resilient and hard to beat than before Rob Edwards’ arrival.
Chris: I like Edwards… but I don’t know for the life of me why Jorgen Strand Larsen did not play the whole match. He obviously has a rapport with Mane. We could have won that match. Larsen has deft touches that the brawny midfielders do not have and it was he who threaded the pass to Mane to equalise at Everton. Larsen + Mane = perfect duo.
Jan: They’re more organised and a bit more confident. The main target is not to go down with the lowest ever Premier League points tally.
Newcastle fans
Richard: Decided lack of quality from Newcastle. With the exception of Harvey Barnes, all our attacking options are off form. Credit to Wolves, who will take points off a lot of teams before the end of the season, but really we ought to be winning these games by the odd goal. This whole season is just us falling short everywhere.
Wayne: Starting to sound like a broken record here but it’s Groundhog Day on the road. An absolutely appalling performance which took until the 85th minute before a shot on target and it was a very disappointing attacking display. Yoane Wissa, Nick Woltemade and Anthony Elanga just don’t look like they are the right fit for our team and they haven’t done enough from an attacking point. Eddie Howe needs to get something to change or we are in danger of finishing mid-table at best.
Davy: Toothless and pathetic. We are going backwards and are a million miles (and £1bn) away from being anywhere near a top team. Too many players are simply not good enough. The summer will see an exodus of class players to teams that will challenge for league titles and the Champions League. The owners don’t know what to do. There are no plans for the stadium or training ground. No plan B when games are not going our way and coaches never change a game. Clear out and start again.
Graeme: Howe’s position now needs sorting. He’s keeping his job because of Champions League and cup runs. We seriously need a change.
