Points are good. I can agree with most of them . However the problems are much deeper than you’d think. Firstly, GON has a problem with identifying the right players for the right job - for instance, he insists on using Joao Gomes deeper in possession which he’s awful at, while making Mario the most advanced midfielder on the pitch (who’s very good in the 1st and 2nd phases). Gomes isn’t nearly press resistant enough to do this job, he’s a carrilero (wide-box cm), not a ball-playing cm. Same with RAN, who’s a winger, yet he still insists on using him as a Fullback. He’s one of the only good dribblers at the club and he’s using him in a position that requires more discipline. He also insists on using ball-carriers on the wings rather than Dribblers (Bellegarde, Cunha - even Lemina!). It’s similiar with Larsen, who he uses as an channel runner (despite not having the pace to do this job) and isn’t nearly technical enough for what we’re paying for him (£28m I believe). GON’s player ID is woeful for a manager. It’s also the fact we haven’t developed a defensive shape or attacking shape IN THE YEAR GON has been at the club. It’s the reason we’re so inconsistent. Players are all over the place when attacking, this not only makes turnovers more common and deadly, but makes it hard for players to find each other on the pitch and build chemistry with each other (combinations). If there is no combinations with the players, then how are you meant maintain consistency in attacking play? You might see RAN and Cunha combining well together, but this is a testament to how technical and intelligent these players are. It’s almost telepathic with them because Good players recognise good players. However, with players like Gomes, Larsen, Toti, Semedo, you need to give them options and a clear shape to protect them. Otherwise, they get exposed easily. This, compounded with the lack of defensive shape, makes us the worst team in the league despite the clear quality in the side. Ultimately, GON isn’t good enough. His game management and overall tactical ounce isn’t there, and there is no clear sign of improvement from last year. He has to go sadly. Seems a nice guy but being a nice guy in football gets you nowhere.
This is a fantastic breakdown of further issues and problems, which I completely agree with. You raised so much here and clearly there is more going on than what I mentioned which as you said, only scratches the surface of the issues. Thanks for watching mate and for your fantastic comment, was a very interesting read. Hopefully Wolves will turn things around in the future🤞
Yeh this is the best breakdown explaining us I have yet read. Spot on. Sadly he has to go. Lacks in game management and his structure / team selection is shocking. Not replacing Kilman was criminal. Not providing cover at LB also. That’s out of his hands but playing Bellegarde on the left is unforgivable
@@jordanrandle741 people were slagging Kilman off last season majorly. Saying he was our worst Cb and such. The reality is that he wasn’t actually a bad player, arguably our best Cb. However, because we tried to play a high block, he was exposed majorly because of his lack of 1v1 speciality and pace. He’s a high-quality mid-block/low-block Cb specialised in covering, cleanup, and aerial duels. People didn’t see this, and threw him under the bus and scapegoated him like a bunch of idiots. GON literally used him as a STOPPER (some that requires 1v1 Speciality!!) whilst in a HIGH-BLOCK. It’s criminal. Dawson and Kilman worked because they’re complimentary in a LOW-BLOCK (1v1 specialist I.e Dawson - Cover Cb I.e Kilman). so it made us more secure when holding onto leads and sitting back. This kept us afloat for half the season before we crumbled due to a lack of defensive shape. They ALL blamed Kilman. Now he isn’t here to be scapegoated, they’re all losing their heads. We survived purely off quality last season alone and people won’t tell me otherwise.
@@hashisgod he’s not a particularly technical player, and as I’ve said, he isn’t really press-resistant. But, his best attributes are his link-up play, counter-pressing, ball-carrying (don’t get this confused with dribbling), and lateral defending, which is why I said he’s much more suited to a Carrilero role (Wide Box-cm) than a dm. Progressive roles (i.e getting the ball up the pitch and into more advanced players) should be left to players like Lemina, Andre, and Doyle as they’re the far more technical players on the ball. Gomes is closer to Bellegarde than he is to the other 3, whilst also different to him at the same time (Gomes = more specialised off-the-ball - Bellegarde = specialised in ball carrying and striking).
We questioned VAR, and PL have had their revenge. We’ve 6 out of 8 first games Vs top 6/7 teams? Main issue is there is no formation that allows Cunha behind Larsen without losing another body
Yeah, honestly the scheduling for Wolves has been abysmal and that is something that isn't focused on enough. The balance that needs to be struck for both Cunha and Larsen to be in the side while also being defensively resolute in midfield is really tough, I don't envy Gary O'Neil's position, but I'm sure he will come up with something. Thanks for watching mate!
I think this is a good analysis. Sometimes I wonder if O'Neill is even aware of some of this. One thing your video misses is the game management. Weve done ok in most first halves, Brentford behind the calamitous exception, and fell apart in second. I think fitness of the players is an issue. We also had a lot of bad luck with deflected goals etc, but we can't blame that.
Thank you! I think there is something to do with the intensity of the players, whether it be fitness or something else but I agree that the game management and substitutions hasn’t been good enough. True, there has been some rotten luck. Hopefully performances and luck pick up in the future. Thanks for watching mate!
Perfectly analysed. I was really hoping for a solution suggestion but it never came… maybe that is the most concerning. Back 3 is our only hope now but that means way less goals which means we’ve come full circle. Sad times
Thank you! I was going to include suggestions for a solution but that’s honestly a whole separate video, if that’s something you’d like then let me know and if enough people want it then I’d be happy to do a part 2 with what I think could fix the issues👍 Even though it seems really rough right now, there’s still a chance things get turned around and after the next 2 games the fixtures get more favourable. I’m personally going to be watching and hoping they pick up form🤞 Thanks for watching!❤️
@@ZekkoFootball Including a solution would be really nice, I know you can’t promise that but I really wish to see you discussing how and what possession based teams can do to rip apart or break through tight low blocks, especially for man city cause we see from recent trends that teams begin to drop a central midfielder into back 4 to form a back 5, it’d be really nice to see your perspective on this situation. Btw I am really big fan of your analysis, if you still remember me from the Recap video on last season’s GW 8 and comment I made, Its really nice to see your channel grow so much from 1k ish subscribers to now, Keep going on and in a year you’ll be one if the most popular analysis channels, good luck mate
@@Manchesterisblue.01 I'll for sure take a look at that piece of analysis and see what I can do 👍 Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot. I absolutely do remember you, your support is amazing and so very appreciated.🙌 It's because of people like YOU that I'm able to do what I do, so THANK YOU☺❤
He absolutely must go to a back 3. Nuno did it twice, Lopetegui I think did it, and Lage did it. Every time we play a back 4 it never works (and why would it with Semedo and Ait-Nouri) and immediately going to a back 3 fixes us. Problem is we have absolutely no depth in CB position now
Back 3 will help the open play stuff but it won’t stop us conceding against set pieces. This needs to be a priority right now. Losing possession in our own half combined with set pieces were our biggest issues last season and they need to be addressed!! Great video by the way 👍
The set pieces are a big worry and clearly they also felt it was an issue after letting go their set piece coach whom they hired in the summer. Thanks so much🙌 glad you enjoyed😊
I almost wonder if Ait-Nouri would be better utilized in the midfield/attack, rather than try to maintain that balance between his attacking abilities/mindset and what the realistic defensive requirement currently is.
I think you’re right and it’s actually something that Wolves did on occasion last season, defensively using a back 4 with Ait Nouri lined up as a LM in front of Totti while in possession changing to a back 3 allowing Ait Nouri to go forwards as a LWB but this season, a change has seen him revert to a LB and I think that’s a major problem exposing the defence right now. Thanks for watching mate!
Quality video this. I’m so glad you outlined one of the main reasons I personally saw was the reason in that Semedo and Ait-Nouri are not full backs, they can’t defend and as a result play far too forward than what a back 4 requires. How you highlighted Ait-Nouri playing as a centre midfielder half the time is something that i notice too and it astounds me, the players can’t be that stupid surely, so it must be an instruction?! I’m a wolves season ticket holder and really worried about this season, I think Gary O’Neil has lost all the credit in the bank he built up when he took over as manager. 1 win in 20 odd games, and that was against Luton, is just awful. It’s unfortunate though because we have had a nasty start, and many wolves fans I doubt would have expected many points from our first 8-9 games but now that it’s happened, I do feel very pessimistic. We were getting scalps against these teams last year and looked like he had a plan, yet this season he look absolutely awful. Opposing managers must be rubbing their hands when they see they have us next
Firstly, thank you so much for the kind words! On Wolves, its really tough right now and I understand the concern. What I would say is this; as you mentioned, the start is VERY difficult and while there are some glaring issues, the performance levels have actually been of a decent standard against the more difficult opposition, against Arsenal they should have scored, Liverpool they were in the game until the end, Chelsea they even managed to cause problems, and they lost the game to Newcastle against two wonder strikes, so the rub of the green isn't going for them right now. BUT, they've got some favourable opposition coming up after their next 2 games, and if they maintain their performance levels (or even up them a little), correct some of the issues, I fully believe they'll start picking up points. They can score goals, but they're struggling defensively and the scoring part is often the more difficult. I do believe there is light at the end of the tunnel, I've seen enough from them to think they'll be alright, just gonna take some time I think. Stay positive, thanks for watching!
As a Wolves fan, its clear that the main issue is leadership in the midfield. Lemina just isnt up to the captaincy, his form has dropped so badly, so playing him and Gomes in similar roles is just making them both so clumsy. The defence was solid last season but so so poorly screened by the midfield. The defence is worse now and the midfield is underperforming. Its unfortunate but the captain needs dropping for a ball-player like Doyle. Let Andre anchor and give Gomes license to carry in midfield.
That makes a lot of sense, leadership is incredibly important in sides, especially in the Premier League. I’m sure Wolves will be able to turn it around, and I think like you said, that Doyle coming into the side could lift things. I still maintain, the LB and RB need looking at, they’re too easy to hit down the channels and that’s exposing them time after time. Hopefully GON managed to change things and Wolves’ fortunes change🤞 Thanks for watching mate!
Lemina has been injured for weeks and GON still plays him. If you play injured players of course their form is going to drop. That's why you don't play injured players. Its that simple
It’s rough for them at the moment but they’ve played some very difficult opponents, including Chelsea of course and I’m sure with a more favourable run of fixtures and a few changes they will be back to picking up points soon. Thanks for watching mate!
Well put together and presented and goes into more detail than anything I’ve seen on Wolves previously. I produce this kind of content myself and while you make some really valid points around winning duels and aerial ability, a couple of things don’t stack up for me. 1) Last season we weren’t in a back three off the ball, so to talk about our defensive shape in those terms doesn’t really set the scene correctly. We did set up that way in possession though which is where we got value from our wide players. We also simply don’t carry the ball as much because we’ve lost Neto and try to play higher up the pitch ie don’t start attacks as deep as we had done. 2) I understand why you’ve pointed out our frailties in the games you did but Brentford and Chelsea are big outliers in terms of our overall performance. The example in the Brentford game pinpointing our FBs as weaknesses was also at 4-2 in the game. Risks had to be taken and the simple answer in that scenario was Ait-Nouri just shouldn’t lose the ball. 3) The set piece highlighted against Chelsea was flicked on by our own player. It’s a big contextual factor in the way the goal was conceded and makes it look a lot worse than it actually was. I’m due to share a video on our set piece issues in the next 24 hrs or so
Thanks for your kind words. You bring up a lot good points but if I'm able to just counter a couple; While I could have articulated the possessional build up in contrast to out of possession better, I feel like the main points were around the lack of Kilman and the defensive stability in the full back areas, particularly highlighting Ait-Nouri's involvement from left back, who is not so necessarily suited to that defensive role and thrives being further ahead. Last allowing Toti to come and cover that left side when as you mentioned, out of possession they were a 4 not a 3. 2) While I understand the games I have chosen are outliers in terms of general performance (especially the Brentford game) and scoreline, I feel they highlighted crucial points around spacial awareness and while game state obviously comes into play, some of the errors just shouldn't be made, in particular the positioning on multiple occasions from Ait-Nouri. There's also other examples, such as the 2nd minute Collins header (which got left out in the edit), the positioning and following of runs from minute one down the flank wasn't up to standard. While the instances in the video can be explained by context, I think the point I was trying to make was around a wider defensive issue. 3) Of course the flick on is unfortunate, but Chelsea benefited from that because their Striker was not being marked at the back post, I feel like the positioning for the corner is almost indefensible when the player is free anyway, this issue was also highlighted in the Brenford game for which there was no flick on and still a major threat aerially was not picked up. I really appreciate your points and by countering I'm not saying you're wrong, just giving my perspective on the situations you highlighted. For what it's worth, I actually am of the opinion that Wolves aren't as bad as many believe, I think the start they've had in terms of opponents is the most difficult in the league and although I've highlighted issues that I feel need changing, I think O'Neil and the players have the capability to turn things around and I hope they do. Thanks for your feedback and for watching!
@@ZekkoFootball I think from my POV I think contextually, a game's first goal is always more telling than something that happens later on in a scenario where a team is in a comfortable lead. There were obvious issues tracking runs in wide areas (despite that just being Brentford's MO at any given point), so the fact we conceded in that manner immediately is clearly the most pertinent point to pick up on. I've done set piece analysis myself and it's always more important to get first contact on the ball than it is to be stood next to a man. That will be the case till the end of time, it's why nobody really uses their best headers to mark anymore and you see these physical mismatches often with blockers standing on more dominant players. Obviously you're not a Wolves fan and can't be expected to be as appreciative of those who watch the 90 mins every week, but individual situations can appear alarming without being the primary reason we're bottom of the league.
Zekko!! Thanks for doing this, it's appreciated. There is so much wrong at WWFC this season, not just your points. They have let Hugo Bueno go out on loan, so that we now don't have another LB. RAN has been slotted into LB so we have lost his attacking presence up front, or as much as we would like. Surely Bueno at LB with RAN in front of him is a better set-up? Kilman, an ever present captain last year was sold, and a quality CB not bought in, the club have said they consider they only need 4 CB's at the club - now Mosquera is out for the season. A bit young & raw, but showed good qualities. Dawson can't play 38 games a season, getting on a bit. Toti can't be considered a PL defender. Semedo - you have been too polite with him. I have said for 3 years now that we will never get anywhere with him in the side. He runs 30 yds, stops and passes it back 20 yds. Every time, you just know what he is going to do. Forwards make a run into space? Forget it, he's passing back. Don't even mention his weak tackles/missing at the back post etc. There is a lack of movement. And a lack of decisive decision making. Gomes gets the ball in midfield, he's making 5 touches before looking up. Opposition close down opportunities, chances are gone. We pass back. Now, we can't break down teams if we have the ball, building it from the back. I was worried for my team this season. Following your video, I'm even more worried!
You’re spot on with all your points and I understand the concern, hopefully Gary O’Neil recognises these problems and puts in a process to fix them over the international break. Wolves have more favourable fixtures coming up after City and Brighton and I’m expecting that they get some points on the board, once they gain some confidence and a bit of momentum along with a change of tactics and approach, I can see Wolves recovering this season. Stay positive, I’ll be watching and hoping they turn it around🤞 Once again, thank you for your fantastic support❤
@@iangreen3337 agreed mate , he's like a rabbit in the headlights when a decent winger runs at him , also he gets caught out time and time again in our box .
It’s difficult, I think it’s a mix of players leaving, a drop off in energy levels across the players and a general switch in style from last season. I think with time though Gary O’Neil can turn things around, it’s tough right now but stay positive. Thanks for watching mate!
Fantastic points, which I also agree with completely, however, you did not mention Rodrigo and Lima who could come in and put in some very good crosses for Strand Larsen to get on the end of… as this is lacking… Joao Gomes and Lemina are terrible in this line as Andře and those too play to similar , need to drop one and put Doyle in …back five /3 should have Lima in for Semedo unfortunately because he was my player of the season last year
Thank you!🙌 The points you make are really good, I actually didn't include any fixes/solutions because I felt that it would make the video far too long (it's already nearly 20 mins). So if that's something everyone would want to see I can definitely look into it. As for what you've suggested, I think you're spot on, Lima has looked bright but a little raw and the switch in formation could lead to some stability. It's unfortunate around the midfield but something isn't right there and as you say, Doyle should get a run in the side. Hopefully Wolves turn it around soon!🤞 Thanks for watching!
Said this even last season O'Neill is a fraud. He only carried good form that Lopetegui built before him. Ait Nouri couldn't defend if his life depends for him, he for a reason didn't start under Lopetegui. And they board is a joke selling key players Kilman and Neto and bringing below average replacements. No wonder Lopetegui decided to dip out of there. The only problem is their board. Even that i dont rate O'Neil he is more than good enough to keep them in the league but not with the squad he currently have
I think O'Neil deserved a bit more credit than what you're allowing him but I agree with you on the expectations and view of the board. The idea that they need to sell is fine, but they to replace well at the same time and to have expectations of replicating when you're selling your best players is farcical. Hopefully O'Neill can turn it around but if he does it will be despite the board not because of them. Thanks for watching mate!
I completely get the frustration, perhaps the reluctance to change the formation is to try and maintain possession, maybe there is a fear that if they change to a 3 they will relinquish the ball easier which would lead to more dangerous attacks. If there is any light to take, Wolves' start has been VERY difficult and the games following the next 2 should give some rest bite and in theory should provide some much needed relief. I hope they turn it around soon, thanks for watching mate!
Internally- - Cunha should be captain - GON's time is up - Jeff Shi needs to sell the club On the pitch- Cunha Strand Larsen Forbs Gomes Lemina RAN Toti Dawson. Bueno Seemed Sa - Johnstone has been poor. Belongs in league one. Sa is much better - Allows Semedo and RAN to advance with cover from Bueno and Toti - Toti Dawson Bueno just have to defend. 0 clean sheets in half a year or something. - Allow Gomes and Lemina to command the midfield (worked fine last year) - Let RAN to move up the wing to support Cunha, who can move more centrally behind Strand Larsen. - RAN and Forbs find width hugging the touchlines - Find the early ball for Strand Larsen to chase, he is a good finisher. - Bellegarde and Doyle to liven things up in midfield, especially Doyle's passing and shooting from range - Give Pedro Lima and Rodrigo Gomes minutes! Ultimately, this teams downfall has been O'Neil. Ownership is awful, but the squad is too good for bottom of the league. He is so arrogant towards his coaching philosophy. 5 AT THE BACK WORKED FINE. it did not work at the end of last season because we lost half the team and had to improvise.
I really like this, good setup and ideas. This also gives the defensive cover to RAN while allowing him to contribute going forwards, I was actually coming up with something like this myself. I personally think O'Neil can turn it around and should be given a bit more time to try and change fortunes against more favourable opposition but I completely understand the frustration. Really good stuff mate and thanks for watching!
@@ZekkoFootball 100% RAN has the capacity to play as wing back or a winger but it has never worked for him as a full back. crucial to this teams offence!
It is, there were bound to be problems, but think the concern would be around the amount of time it’s taking to try and fix those problems, and for me, a lot of those are still very apparent. Thanks for watching mate!
It have high demands towards tactical familiarity, and highly flexible players that can do various assignments to a respectable degree, and deliberate planing as for when you use one or the other, instead of 'throwing a dice'
@BobbyJohnson-n4u Anytime we had too many cb injuries last season and had to run a back 4 it went disastrously, defenders too used to having that extra man to cover them and let bad habits creep in
It's weird for me that nobody mentioned Sam Johnstone as part of the dropoff. He is definitely far off a solid prem keeper. -0.30 PSxG is criminal and will cost them some goals. Last season he performed similarly for Crystal Palace in the half of the season that he wasn't injured, that is. -6.0 worth of PSxG after 20 matches played is for sure not prem quality, not to mention the risk of a recurring injury and his career average in the prem being around the -2.5 PSxG per season (meaning he let in on average 2.5 goals more per season than he should've, that doesn't even include this season). Any of his other numbers can't justify keeping him as a starter. Jose Sa can often be uneven, one season he can be a hero, the other one he'll let in 5.6 goals more than expected and this season wasn't his best one, so he is not a real fix. A new number one is needed in my opinion
Yeah Johnstone is a strange one, gives us absolutely nothing that Jose Sa didn’t. The one problem with Sa is he was shit with the ball at his feet and from what I’ve seen of Johnstone, he is no better, like Bambi on ice at times.
Johnstone is a decent enough Goalie and worth his price in isolation, but he's not enough of an upgrade on Sa to be worth taking up such a allotment of transfer budget, even when disregarding the other areas that more critically needed better suited players for the wanted system.
So this is a REALLY interesting one, and I can't quite explain it. I had the same thought as you, there isn't a 'goalkeeping' improvement in his statistics, so I looked at age and he's the same age as Sa, clearly not the answer, then I went to passing numbers.. perhaps O'Neil's plan is to improve the build up and possession but in the game against Brentford his passing accuracy was 53% and it's not very high this season. I don't quite get why he was swapped and I'm yet to be convinced or find a good argument for it. You make a really good point and I agree, a new young number one is needed. Thanks for watching mate!
They have, it's something that doesn't get highlighted enough by people (including myself). Hopefully with some more favourable fixtures around the corner they can start to turn things around and climb the table.🤞 Thanks for watching mate!
They really have been, completely agree.. I’d say the hardest fixtures of any team in the league so far, after the following 2 fixtures they arguably get a bit more favourable so maybe they can turn their fortunes around a bit more then. Thanks for watching mate!
@@ZekkoFootball ye after the city and Brighton game we have a 8 game stretch of some winnable games which is make or break for O'Neil unfortunately he's already spoken about how disappointed he was with the transfer window and is a proven manager imo they really just need to replace Kilman and stop the zonal marking for corners
It's not madness. It's flexibility. That's what O'Neil has been saying for a year now. Wolves used to be inflexible and rigid. But thanks to O'Neils hard work, we are now so flexible, players can be anywhere on the pitch at any time. With exciting new ideas like that, surely O'Neil should be given England job? Who wants boring 1-0 wins when you can lose 5-3 and 6-2? I also think Ait-Nouri is somwhat overrated. He's technically brilliant, but his decision making is .. random. He's always had awful decision making but he's a bit of a fan favourite for his flashy tricks, so escapes criticism. Perhaps he needs to be reigned in and controlled, not given free reign?
I understand where O’Neil is coming from, flexibility is important in sides but too much flexibility and freedom is obviously a problem. I like Ait Nouri but as you say, his decision making in a game by game basis is just not good enough. He needs to be put into a defensive structure (along with Semedo) and build a back line that’s comfortable playing with each other again. A structured back 4 to build from is really important, get that, and I think you’ll see not only their defence improve but also their attack. Hopefully Gary O’Neil can turn it around with more favourable fixtures coming up after City and Brighton. Thanks for watching mate!
@@ZekkoFootball Your analysis is excellent! I was being slightly sarcastic about the flexibility, because it is what GON said a year ago. It did allow us to score more goals, but also concede more. And as you point out, the attack is much the same as last season (lost Neto, who must have gained us a lot of yards up the pitch, howeevr was mostly injured anyway) - but the defence is a lot worse.
😂Now, now.. they are the mighty Wanderers to many, the source of enjoyment to many and a club that in history has been to the very top, just giving a bit of respect. Thanks for watching mate!
The win rate is a huge concern and I completely understand the want for change, I wonder whether giving him the run in November with some more favourable opposition might allow him to try and turn things round. Thanks for watching mate!
I think the board need to be taken into account here, while I understand that there sometimes might be a need to sell players, you simply cannot sell your best players and replace them with players of a current lesser quality and expect the team to perform in the same manner. Madness. If Gary O'Neil turns this around it will be despite the owners, not because of them. Thanks for watching mate!
I believe the owners want to club to be self financing hence GON wants a bigger squad to cope with injuries like we had the second half of last season, so we have to sell a top player like Neto to buy 3 or 4 more. Which is a policy that is weakening the squad . Quantity over quality
😂What I meant was he's very good at going forwards, good energy and a willingness to join the attack the width that he can bring with his mobility often causes problems and gets him into dangerous scenarios what while they don't directly lead to a goal or an assist, might open the door for someone else. But yeah... Thanks for watching mate!

Points are good. I can agree with most of them . However the problems are much deeper than you’d think. Firstly, GON has a problem with identifying the right players for the right job - for instance, he insists on using Joao Gomes deeper in possession which he’s awful at, while making Mario the most advanced midfielder on the pitch (who’s very good in the 1st and 2nd phases). Gomes isn’t nearly press resistant enough to do this job, he’s a carrilero (wide-box cm), not a ball-playing cm. Same with RAN, who’s a winger, yet he still insists on using him as a Fullback. He’s one of the only good dribblers at the club and he’s using him in a position that requires more discipline. He also insists on using ball-carriers on the wings rather than Dribblers (Bellegarde, Cunha - even Lemina!). It’s similiar with Larsen, who he uses as an channel runner (despite not having the pace to do this job) and isn’t nearly technical enough for what we’re paying for him (£28m I believe). GON’s player ID is woeful for a manager. It’s also the fact we haven’t developed a defensive shape or attacking shape IN THE YEAR GON has been at the club. It’s the reason we’re so inconsistent. Players are all over the place when attacking, this not only makes turnovers more common and deadly, but makes it hard for players to find each other on the pitch and build chemistry with each other (combinations). If there is no combinations with the players, then how are you meant maintain consistency in attacking play? You might see RAN and Cunha combining well together, but this is a testament to how technical and intelligent these players are. It’s almost telepathic with them because Good players recognise good players. However, with players like Gomes, Larsen, Toti, Semedo, you need to give them options and a clear shape to protect them. Otherwise, they get exposed easily. This, compounded with the lack of defensive shape, makes us the worst team in the league despite the clear quality in the side. Ultimately, GON isn’t good enough. His game management and overall tactical ounce isn’t there, and there is no clear sign of improvement from last year. He has to go sadly. Seems a nice guy but being a nice guy in football gets you nowhere.
This is a fantastic breakdown of further issues and problems, which I completely agree with. You raised so much here and clearly there is more going on than what I mentioned which as you said, only scratches the surface of the issues.
Thanks for watching mate and for your fantastic comment, was a very interesting read.
Hopefully Wolves will turn things around in the future🤞
Yeh this is the best breakdown explaining us I have yet read. Spot on. Sadly he has to go. Lacks in game management and his structure / team selection is shocking. Not replacing Kilman was criminal. Not providing cover at LB also. That’s out of his hands but playing Bellegarde on the left is unforgivable
@@jordanrandle741 people were slagging Kilman off last season majorly. Saying he was our worst Cb and such. The reality is that he wasn’t actually a bad player, arguably our best Cb. However, because we tried to play a high block, he was exposed majorly because of his lack of 1v1 speciality and pace. He’s a high-quality mid-block/low-block Cb specialised in covering, cleanup, and aerial duels. People didn’t see this, and threw him under the bus and scapegoated him like a bunch of idiots. GON literally used him as a STOPPER (some that requires 1v1 Speciality!!) whilst in a HIGH-BLOCK. It’s criminal. Dawson and Kilman worked because they’re complimentary in a LOW-BLOCK (1v1 specialist I.e Dawson - Cover Cb I.e Kilman). so it made us more secure when holding onto leads and sitting back. This kept us afloat for half the season before we crumbled due to a lack of defensive shape. They ALL blamed Kilman. Now he isn’t here to be scapegoated, they’re all losing their heads. We survived purely off quality last season alone and people won’t tell me otherwise.
Gomes doesn’t convince me he can play further forward. Doesn’t he say so as such himself in his documentary?
@@hashisgod he’s not a particularly technical player, and as I’ve said, he isn’t really press-resistant. But, his best attributes are his link-up play, counter-pressing, ball-carrying (don’t get this confused with dribbling), and lateral defending, which is why I said he’s much more suited to a Carrilero role (Wide Box-cm) than a dm. Progressive roles (i.e getting the ball up the pitch and into more advanced players) should be left to players like Lemina, Andre, and Doyle as they’re the far more technical players on the ball. Gomes is closer to Bellegarde than he is to the other 3, whilst also different to him at the same time (Gomes = more specialised off-the-ball - Bellegarde = specialised in ball carrying and striking).
We questioned VAR, and PL have had their revenge. We’ve 6 out of 8 first games Vs top 6/7 teams? Main issue is there is no formation that allows Cunha behind Larsen without losing another body
Yeah, honestly the scheduling for Wolves has been abysmal and that is something that isn't focused on enough. The balance that needs to be struck for both Cunha and Larsen to be in the side while also being defensively resolute in midfield is really tough, I don't envy Gary O'Neil's position, but I'm sure he will come up with something.
Thanks for watching mate!
I think this is a good analysis. Sometimes I wonder if O'Neill is even aware of some of this. One thing your video misses is the game management. Weve done ok in most first halves, Brentford behind the calamitous exception, and fell apart in second. I think fitness of the players is an issue.
We also had a lot of bad luck with deflected goals etc, but we can't blame that.
Thank you!
I think there is something to do with the intensity of the players, whether it be fitness or something else but I agree that the game management and substitutions hasn’t been good enough.
True, there has been some rotten luck.
Hopefully performances and luck pick up in the future.
Thanks for watching mate!
Perfectly analysed. I was really hoping for a solution suggestion but it never came… maybe that is the most concerning. Back 3 is our only hope now but that means way less goals which means we’ve come full circle. Sad times
Thank you! I was going to include suggestions for a solution but that’s honestly a whole separate video, if that’s something you’d like then let me know and if enough people want it then I’d be happy to do a part 2 with what I think could fix the issues👍
Even though it seems really rough right now, there’s still a chance things get turned around and after the next 2 games the fixtures get more favourable. I’m personally going to be watching and hoping they pick up form🤞
Thanks for watching!❤️
@@ZekkoFootball Including a solution would be really nice, I know you can’t promise that but I really wish to see you discussing how and what possession based teams can do to rip apart or break through tight low blocks, especially for man city cause we see from recent trends that teams begin to drop a central midfielder into back 4 to form a back 5, it’d be really nice to see your perspective on this situation.
Btw I am really big fan of your analysis, if you still remember me from the Recap video on last season’s GW 8 and comment I made, Its really nice to see your channel grow so much from 1k ish subscribers to now, Keep going on and in a year you’ll be one if the most popular analysis channels, good luck mate
@@Manchesterisblue.01 I'll for sure take a look at that piece of analysis and see what I can do 👍
Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot. I absolutely do remember you, your support is amazing and so very appreciated.🙌
It's because of people like YOU that I'm able to do what I do, so THANK YOU☺❤
He absolutely must go to a back 3. Nuno did it twice, Lopetegui I think did it, and Lage did it. Every time we play a back 4 it never works (and why would it with Semedo and Ait-Nouri) and immediately going to a back 3 fixes us. Problem is we have absolutely no depth in CB position now
I pray that they bounce back
Back 3 will help the open play stuff but it won’t stop us conceding against set pieces. This needs to be a priority right now. Losing possession in our own half combined with set pieces were our biggest issues last season and they need to be addressed!!
Great video by the way 👍
The set pieces are a big worry and clearly they also felt it was an issue after letting go their set piece coach whom they hired in the summer.
Thanks so much🙌 glad you enjoyed😊
I almost wonder if Ait-Nouri would be better utilized in the midfield/attack, rather than try to maintain that balance between his attacking abilities/mindset and what the realistic defensive requirement currently is.
I think you’re right and it’s actually something that Wolves did on occasion last season, defensively using a back 4 with Ait Nouri lined up as a LM in front of Totti while in possession changing to a back 3 allowing Ait Nouri to go forwards as a LWB but this season, a change has seen him revert to a LB and I think that’s a major problem exposing the defence right now.
Thanks for watching mate!
Quality video this. I’m so glad you outlined one of the main reasons I personally saw was the reason in that Semedo and Ait-Nouri are not full backs, they can’t defend and as a result play far too forward than what a back 4 requires. How you highlighted Ait-Nouri playing as a centre midfielder half the time is something that i notice too and it astounds me, the players can’t be that stupid surely, so it must be an instruction?! I’m a wolves season ticket holder and really worried about this season, I think Gary O’Neil has lost all the credit in the bank he built up when he took over as manager. 1 win in 20 odd games, and that was against Luton, is just awful. It’s unfortunate though because we have had a nasty start, and many wolves fans I doubt would have expected many points from our first 8-9 games but now that it’s happened, I do feel very pessimistic. We were getting scalps against these teams last year and looked like he had a plan, yet this season he look absolutely awful. Opposing managers must be rubbing their hands when they see they have us next
Firstly, thank you so much for the kind words!
On Wolves, its really tough right now and I understand the concern. What I would say is this; as you mentioned, the start is VERY difficult and while there are some glaring issues, the performance levels have actually been of a decent standard against the more difficult opposition, against Arsenal they should have scored, Liverpool they were in the game until the end, Chelsea they even managed to cause problems, and they lost the game to Newcastle against two wonder strikes, so the rub of the green isn't going for them right now.
BUT, they've got some favourable opposition coming up after their next 2 games, and if they maintain their performance levels (or even up them a little), correct some of the issues, I fully believe they'll start picking up points. They can score goals, but they're struggling defensively and the scoring part is often the more difficult. I do believe there is light at the end of the tunnel, I've seen enough from them to think they'll be alright, just gonna take some time I think.
Stay positive, thanks for watching!
As a Wolves fan, its clear that the main issue is leadership in the midfield. Lemina just isnt up to the captaincy, his form has dropped so badly, so playing him and Gomes in similar roles is just making them both so clumsy. The defence was solid last season but so so poorly screened by the midfield. The defence is worse now and the midfield is underperforming.
Its unfortunate but the captain needs dropping for a ball-player like Doyle. Let Andre anchor and give Gomes license to carry in midfield.
That makes a lot of sense, leadership is incredibly important in sides, especially in the Premier League.
I’m sure Wolves will be able to turn it around, and I think like you said, that Doyle coming into the side could lift things.
I still maintain, the LB and RB need looking at, they’re too easy to hit down the channels and that’s exposing them time after time. Hopefully GON managed to change things and Wolves’ fortunes change🤞
Thanks for watching mate!
Lemina has been injured for weeks and GON still plays him. If you play injured players of course their form is going to drop. That's why you don't play injured players. Its that simple
You want the job cos it sounds like you have more of a clue then GON that's for sure in all seriousness tho great video👍
As a chelsea fan that lives in Wolverhampton it kills me to see my home town like this it hurts i do wish that they improve
It’s rough for them at the moment but they’ve played some very difficult opponents, including Chelsea of course and I’m sure with a more favourable run of fixtures and a few changes they will be back to picking up points soon.
Thanks for watching mate!
Well put together and presented and goes into more detail than anything I’ve seen on Wolves previously. I produce this kind of content myself and while you make some really valid points around winning duels and aerial ability, a couple of things don’t stack up for me.
1) Last season we weren’t in a back three off the ball, so to talk about our defensive shape in those terms doesn’t really set the scene correctly. We did set up that way in possession though which is where we got value from our wide players. We also simply don’t carry the ball as much because we’ve lost Neto and try to play higher up the pitch ie don’t start attacks as deep as we had done.
2) I understand why you’ve pointed out our frailties in the games you did but Brentford and Chelsea are big outliers in terms of our overall performance. The example in the Brentford game pinpointing our FBs as weaknesses was also at 4-2 in the game. Risks had to be taken and the simple answer in that scenario was Ait-Nouri just shouldn’t lose the ball.
3) The set piece highlighted against Chelsea was flicked on by our own player. It’s a big contextual factor in the way the goal was conceded and makes it look a lot worse than it actually was. I’m due to share a video on our set piece issues in the next 24 hrs or so
Thanks for your kind words.
You bring up a lot good points but if I'm able to just counter a couple; While I could have articulated the possessional build up in contrast to out of possession better, I feel like the main points were around the lack of Kilman and the defensive stability in the full back areas, particularly highlighting Ait-Nouri's involvement from left back, who is not so necessarily suited to that defensive role and thrives being further ahead. Last allowing Toti to come and cover that left side when as you mentioned, out of possession they were a 4 not a 3.
2) While I understand the games I have chosen are outliers in terms of general performance (especially the Brentford game) and scoreline, I feel they highlighted crucial points around spacial awareness and while game state obviously comes into play, some of the errors just shouldn't be made, in particular the positioning on multiple occasions from Ait-Nouri. There's also other examples, such as the 2nd minute Collins header (which got left out in the edit), the positioning and following of runs from minute one down the flank wasn't up to standard. While the instances in the video can be explained by context, I think the point I was trying to make was around a wider defensive issue.
3) Of course the flick on is unfortunate, but Chelsea benefited from that because their Striker was not being marked at the back post, I feel like the positioning for the corner is almost indefensible when the player is free anyway, this issue was also highlighted in the Brenford game for which there was no flick on and still a major threat aerially was not picked up.
I really appreciate your points and by countering I'm not saying you're wrong, just giving my perspective on the situations you highlighted. For what it's worth, I actually am of the opinion that Wolves aren't as bad as many believe, I think the start they've had in terms of opponents is the most difficult in the league and although I've highlighted issues that I feel need changing, I think O'Neil and the players have the capability to turn things around and I hope they do.
Thanks for your feedback and for watching!
@@ZekkoFootball I think from my POV I think contextually, a game's first goal is always more telling than something that happens later on in a scenario where a team is in a comfortable lead. There were obvious issues tracking runs in wide areas (despite that just being Brentford's MO at any given point), so the fact we conceded in that manner immediately is clearly the most pertinent point to pick up on.
I've done set piece analysis myself and it's always more important to get first contact on the ball than it is to be stood next to a man. That will be the case till the end of time, it's why nobody really uses their best headers to mark anymore and you see these physical mismatches often with blockers standing on more dominant players. Obviously you're not a Wolves fan and can't be expected to be as appreciative of those who watch the 90 mins every week, but individual situations can appear alarming without being the primary reason we're bottom of the league.
Zekko!! Thanks for doing this, it's appreciated.
There is so much wrong at WWFC this season, not just your points.
They have let Hugo Bueno go out on loan, so that we now don't have another LB. RAN has been slotted into LB so we have lost his attacking presence up front, or as much as we would like. Surely Bueno at LB with RAN in front of him is a better set-up?
Kilman, an ever present captain last year was sold, and a quality CB not bought in, the club have said they consider they only need 4 CB's at the club - now Mosquera is out for the season. A bit young & raw, but showed good qualities.
Dawson can't play 38 games a season, getting on a bit.
Toti can't be considered a PL defender.
Semedo - you have been too polite with him. I have said for 3 years now that we will never get anywhere with him in the side. He runs 30 yds, stops and passes it back 20 yds. Every time, you just know what he is going to do. Forwards make a run into space? Forget it, he's passing back. Don't even mention his weak tackles/missing at the back post etc.
There is a lack of movement. And a lack of decisive decision making. Gomes gets the ball in midfield, he's making 5 touches before looking up. Opposition close down opportunities, chances are gone. We pass back. Now, we can't break down teams if we have the ball, building it from the back.
I was worried for my team this season. Following your video, I'm even more worried!
No worries mate!
Thanks for supporting and watching!❤️
You’re spot on with all your points and I understand the concern, hopefully Gary O’Neil recognises these problems and puts in a process to fix them over the international break.
Wolves have more favourable fixtures coming up after City and Brighton and I’m expecting that they get some points on the board, once they gain some confidence and a bit of momentum along with a change of tactics and approach, I can see Wolves recovering this season.
Stay positive, I’ll be watching and hoping they turn it around🤞
Once again, thank you for your fantastic support❤
@@iangreen3337 agreed mate , he's like a rabbit in the headlights when a decent winger runs at him , also he gets caught out time and time again in our box .
why are we not doing the same this year
It’s difficult, I think it’s a mix of players leaving, a drop off in energy levels across the players and a general switch in style from last season.
I think with time though Gary O’Neil can turn things around, it’s tough right now but stay positive.
Thanks for watching mate!
Nice content , think u nailed the problems with my lot . 👍
Thank you mate!
I’m sure in time they will come back and improve👍.
Thanks for watching as well!
Fantastic points, which I also agree with completely, however, you did not mention Rodrigo and Lima who could come in and put in some very good crosses for Strand Larsen to get on the end of… as this is lacking… Joao Gomes and Lemina are terrible in this line as Andře and those too play to similar , need to drop one and put Doyle in …back five /3 should have Lima in for Semedo unfortunately because he was my player of the season last year
Thank you!🙌
The points you make are really good, I actually didn't include any fixes/solutions because I felt that it would make the video far too long (it's already nearly 20 mins). So if that's something everyone would want to see I can definitely look into it. As for what you've suggested, I think you're spot on, Lima has looked bright but a little raw and the switch in formation could lead to some stability. It's unfortunate around the midfield but something isn't right there and as you say, Doyle should get a run in the side.
Hopefully Wolves turn it around soon!🤞
Thanks for watching!
Said this even last season O'Neill is a fraud. He only carried good form that Lopetegui built before him.
Ait Nouri couldn't defend if his life depends for him, he for a reason didn't start under Lopetegui.
And they board is a joke selling key players Kilman and Neto and bringing below average replacements.
No wonder Lopetegui decided to dip out of there.
The only problem is their board.
Even that i dont rate O'Neil he is more than good enough to keep them in the league but not with the squad he currently have
I think O'Neil deserved a bit more credit than what you're allowing him but I agree with you on the expectations and view of the board. The idea that they need to sell is fine, but they to replace well at the same time and to have expectations of replicating when you're selling your best players is farcical.
Hopefully O'Neill can turn it around but if he does it will be despite the board not because of them.
Thanks for watching mate!
Although I wish it was the other Neto, arsenal scooped up a terrific backup GK
There are less talented squads that perform much better.
Can't be arsed any more, needs to be a back 5 end of, manager refusing to change so it's obvious to me.
I completely get the frustration, perhaps the reluctance to change the formation is to try and maintain possession, maybe there is a fear that if they change to a 3 they will relinquish the ball easier which would lead to more dangerous attacks. If there is any light to take, Wolves' start has been VERY difficult and the games following the next 2 should give some rest bite and in theory should provide some much needed relief.
I hope they turn it around soon, thanks for watching mate!
Internally-
- Cunha should be captain
- GON's time is up
- Jeff Shi needs to sell the club
On the pitch-
Cunha Strand Larsen Forbs
Gomes Lemina
RAN Toti Dawson. Bueno Seemed
Sa
- Johnstone has been poor. Belongs in league one. Sa is much better
- Allows Semedo and RAN to advance with cover from Bueno and Toti
- Toti Dawson Bueno just have to defend. 0 clean sheets in half a year or something.
- Allow Gomes and Lemina to command the midfield (worked fine last year)
- Let RAN to move up the wing to support Cunha, who can move more centrally behind Strand Larsen.
- RAN and Forbs find width hugging the touchlines
- Find the early ball for Strand Larsen to chase, he is a good finisher.
- Bellegarde and Doyle to liven things up in midfield, especially Doyle's passing and shooting from range
- Give Pedro Lima and Rodrigo Gomes minutes!
Ultimately, this teams downfall has been O'Neil. Ownership is awful, but the squad is too good for bottom of the league. He is so arrogant towards his coaching philosophy. 5 AT THE BACK WORKED FINE. it did not work at the end of last season because we lost half the team and had to improvise.
Not sure about Johnston being league one , more Sunday league for me
I really like this, good setup and ideas. This also gives the defensive cover to RAN while allowing him to contribute going forwards, I was actually coming up with something like this myself. I personally think O'Neil can turn it around and should be given a bit more time to try and change fortunes against more favourable opposition but I completely understand the frustration.
Really good stuff mate and thanks for watching!
@@ZekkoFootball 100% RAN has the capacity to play as wing back or a winger but it has never worked for him as a full back. crucial to this teams offence!
Switching between back 3 and back 4 is always hard.
It is, there were bound to be problems, but think the concern would be around the amount of time it’s taking to try and fix those problems, and for me, a lot of those are still very apparent.
Thanks for watching mate!
It have high demands towards tactical familiarity, and highly flexible players that can do various assignments to a respectable degree, and deliberate planing as for when you use one or the other, instead of 'throwing a dice'
@BobbyJohnson-n4u Anytime we had too many cb injuries last season and had to run a back 4 it went disastrously, defenders too used to having that extra man to cover them and let bad habits creep in
It's weird for me that nobody mentioned Sam Johnstone as part of the dropoff. He is definitely far off a solid prem keeper. -0.30 PSxG is criminal and will cost them some goals. Last season he performed similarly for Crystal Palace in the half of the season that he wasn't injured, that is. -6.0 worth of PSxG after 20 matches played is for sure not prem quality, not to mention the risk of a recurring injury and his career average in the prem being around the -2.5 PSxG per season (meaning he let in on average 2.5 goals more per season than he should've, that doesn't even include this season). Any of his other numbers can't justify keeping him as a starter. Jose Sa can often be uneven, one season he can be a hero, the other one he'll let in 5.6 goals more than expected and this season wasn't his best one, so he is not a real fix. A new number one is needed in my opinion
Yeah Johnstone is a strange one, gives us absolutely nothing that Jose Sa didn’t. The one problem with Sa is he was shit with the ball at his feet and from what I’ve seen of Johnstone, he is no better, like Bambi on ice at times.
Johnstone is a decent enough Goalie and worth his price in isolation, but he's not enough of an upgrade on Sa to be worth taking up such a allotment of transfer budget, even when disregarding the other areas that more critically needed better suited players for the wanted system.
So this is a REALLY interesting one, and I can't quite explain it. I had the same thought as you, there isn't a 'goalkeeping' improvement in his statistics, so I looked at age and he's the same age as Sa, clearly not the answer, then I went to passing numbers.. perhaps O'Neil's plan is to improve the build up and possession but in the game against Brentford his passing accuracy was 53% and it's not very high this season. I don't quite get why he was swapped and I'm yet to be convinced or find a good argument for it. You make a really good point and I agree, a new young number one is needed.
Thanks for watching mate!
Highlighting the issues with fosun, eg how we lost out on Ramsdale
Dodgy defense doesn't help
It really doesn't.😂
Thanks for watching mate!
They’ve had easily the most difficult set of fixtures and will end up fifth bottom.
They have, it's something that doesn't get highlighted enough by people (including myself). Hopefully with some more favourable fixtures around the corner they can start to turn things around and climb the table.🤞
Thanks for watching mate!
They have but that wouldn’t have bothered them last season.
Their fixtures have been cruel
They really have been, completely agree.. I’d say the hardest fixtures of any team in the league so far, after the following 2 fixtures they arguably get a bit more favourable so maybe they can turn their fortunes around a bit more then.
Thanks for watching mate!
@@ZekkoFootball ye after the city and Brighton game we have a 8 game stretch of some winnable games which is make or break for O'Neil unfortunately he's already spoken about how disappointed he was with the transfer window and is a proven manager imo they really just need to replace Kilman and stop the zonal marking for corners
It's not madness. It's flexibility. That's what O'Neil has been saying for a year now. Wolves used to be inflexible and rigid. But thanks to O'Neils hard work, we are now so flexible, players can be anywhere on the pitch at any time. With exciting new ideas like that, surely O'Neil should be given England job? Who wants boring 1-0 wins when you can lose 5-3 and 6-2? I also think Ait-Nouri is somwhat overrated. He's technically brilliant, but his decision making is .. random. He's always had awful decision making but he's a bit of a fan favourite for his flashy tricks, so escapes criticism. Perhaps he needs to be reigned in and controlled, not given free reign?
I understand where O’Neil is coming from, flexibility is important in sides but too much flexibility and freedom is obviously a problem.
I like Ait Nouri but as you say, his decision making in a game by game basis is just not good enough. He needs to be put into a defensive structure (along with Semedo) and build a back line that’s comfortable playing with each other again.
A structured back 4 to build from is really important, get that, and I think you’ll see not only their defence improve but also their attack.
Hopefully Gary O’Neil can turn it around with more favourable fixtures coming up after City and Brighton.
Thanks for watching mate!
@@ZekkoFootball Your analysis is excellent! I was being slightly sarcastic about the flexibility, because it is what GON said a year ago. It did allow us to score more goals, but also concede more. And as you point out, the attack is much the same as last season (lost Neto, who must have gained us a lot of yards up the pitch, howeevr was mostly injured anyway) - but the defence is a lot worse.
“Mighty Wanderers”!? Lost me at that point…
😂Now, now.. they are the mighty Wanderers to many, the source of enjoyment to many and a club that in history has been to the very top, just giving a bit of respect.
Thanks for watching mate!
Get GON GONE. Completely moved away from that which gave us a BIT of success last season. 1 win in 18 is shocking.
The win rate is a huge concern and I completely understand the want for change, I wonder whether giving him the run in November with some more favourable opposition might allow him to try and turn things round.
Thanks for watching mate!
stripped of all our best players, and replaced with crap (fabio sliva etc)
I think the board need to be taken into account here, while I understand that there sometimes might be a need to sell players, you simply cannot sell your best players and replace them with players of a current lesser quality and expect the team to perform in the same manner. Madness.
If Gary O'Neil turns this around it will be despite the owners, not because of them.
Thanks for watching mate!
I believe the owners want to club to be self financing hence GON wants a bigger squad to cope with injuries like we had the second half of last season, so we have to sell a top player like Neto to buy 3 or 4 more.
Which is a policy that is weakening the squad . Quantity over quality
Haaaaaa. Boing boing
Thanks for watching mate!
You lost me when you said Semedo was an attacking powerhouse
😂What I meant was he's very good at going forwards, good energy and a willingness to join the attack the width that he can bring with his mobility often causes problems and gets him into dangerous scenarios what while they don't directly lead to a goal or an assist, might open the door for someone else. But yeah...
Thanks for watching mate!
