Playing awful. Can't see Fosun taking much more of this. If he did get the sack who would you realistically have in as replacement. It will likely be another portuguese manager to keep that infrastructure and Andre villa-boas is having problems at marseille and is wanting to leave. Dunno if he would be ab option worth considering.

What an award half, luck to be 1_1, what does semado bring to the team, defensively terrible.
02 Feb 2021 19:28:54
Semedo is more suited to rw imo pretty decent going forward.
02 Feb 2021 20:06:15
Semedo haters back again! Never mind that he was prob MOTM last game!
02 Feb 2021 20:47:03
Tettenhall I thought semado was worthy of motm tonight, great performance energy and alertness that does let him down sometimes. But in the overall contribution stakes neto neves and moutininho goal its evens for me. One thing tho, how on earth did the ref manage to award us a throw in from a corner.? VAR BT Big screens? Thank the lord he got the pen and red card right.
02 Feb 2021 20:48:23
You should know by now Tettenhall mate some need a scapegoat no matter what, I guess Semedo is this seasons scapegoat for them.
02 Feb 2021 21:04:39
No scapegoat he was responsible for Arsenal’s goal he’s not a good defender imo,
This is far from the first time. Not slating him just facts.
02 Feb 2021 21:39:17
He wasn't solely responsible for goal. Yes, got beat first time, any tackle after that would definitely have risked a pen. And Neves didn't exactly help did he? Same with Villa game. It was apparently ALL his fault. But none of you haters come on here and give him credit when he has good games, which he has. Also he has been played out of position recently too. Give him a break and pick on someone else, if you have to.
02 Feb 2021 22:56:32
I don't hate anyone I just passed my opinion and yes Neves can take some responsibility also . Please don’t think because someone criticises a player that they hate them. I think Semedo is good going forward but is lacking as a defender with
Barcelona he was not under so much constant pressure, as we improve now (I hope) and we attack more the pressure will lift and confidence will return. We had a little luck tonight not before time and I don’t mean the offside goal offside is offside.
So let’s all get behind the lads as I have done since seeing my first game at the Mol
In 1958
All the best to everyone.

I agree with Norfolk their no hate towards semedo but semedo gave possession away and then getting back didn't defend well enough resulting in their goal.
But semedo looked quality on the counter attack linked up brilliantly with Traore.
You have to see also the arsenal scorer is a top top talent.
But for 30 million semedo doesn't do something right all the time he is undoubtedly going to get questioned particularly his defending.
Its early days in his wolves career so I'm expecting we see the best of semedo next season when all is settled especially the team.
03 Feb 2021 06:50:29
Just a samedo note, ist goal yea we can look at him but was he indeed shoved off? Anyway sky stats who gave him a 5 rating (? ),
1 shot (on target)
90 touches
63 passes
Accuracy 92.1% accurate
1 foul won
2 fouls
This is comparable if not better than many others on pitch last night, certainly better than bellini arsenal Rback and skipper. But semedo gets it over the goal, agree he's at fault there but it dosnt negate his performance for the rest of the game. I repeat I thought he was superb, and I havnt been his greatest fan in the past.
03 Feb 2021 08:35:40
T. Toad I just re watched the brief highlights and clearly agree it wasnt jus down to semedo, neves was to blame for their goal too.
Nice post abbey with the stats.
03 Feb 2021 08:57:13
My thoughts as well on goal, pepe, saw off samedos challenge without foul. If samedo had challenged pepe with same approach arsenal would have had a penalty. It was a well taken goal by pepe undoing semado, who left himself open then tried to make amends with neves watching.
03 Feb 2021 10:37:18
Dene do criticism is harsh. My concern relates to the where we initially lose possession too easily in our own half and even our defensive third. Invariably this is others, Traore and Neves, as opposed to defenders. Losing possession in final third, puts unnecessary pressure on back three or five. Need our midfield to be more progressive in their play and move through phases so much quicker than is happening at present. Most of our possession is in our own half and we need to be playing more in the opposition half. We seem to recycle for recycling sake far too often.
End of the day 3 points is 3 points and I’ll take that, warts and all.
03 Feb 2021 11:04:55
Can't deny that wolfthistle but we played a lot higher up the pitch last night when they were 10 and were more fluent, some passes still short or not approached, (could of been wet heavy pitch), but encouraging signs if we continue with all neto pods adama and jose, they give us somewhere to go.
