Wolves Blow Spineless Gunners House Down
Apr 24th, 2019 by 'holic
There were a couple of surprises in the starting eleven at Molineux. Laurent Koscielny was named alongside Sokratis Papastathopoulos in the centre of a back four. Granit Xhaka was also fit to return alongside Lucas Torreira. The three fit attacking midfielders all lined up behind Alexandre Lacazette. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was ruled out having undergone a sinus procedure.
We made an encouraging start and in the third minute Henrick Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil opened up Wolves right flank but when the latter played in Torreira the Uruguayan’s shot was blocked. Mkhitaryan’s rushed another effort high and wide two minutes later. Unai Emery’s attacking line-up was showing good early ambition.
In the 17th minute Nacho Monreal wriggled past Doherty who hauled him down close to the the box and rightly saw the first yellow card of the game. Unfortunately Torreira’s free-kick didn’t clear the wall. Another wonderful flowing move came to nought when Iwobi cut the ball back to nobody in particular. We were flattering to deceive.
Wolves first effort arrived in the 21st minute from the right boot of Moutinho but it curled wide of the target. A long throw then caused a panic in the Gunners defence and from Boly’s flick-on Jimenez volleyed the ball just over the top from close-range. Wolves had a head of steam and we could have done without Monreal’s foul on the edge of the box. Neves is a set piece specialist and scored the opener in the bottom corner.
After Koscielny was wrongly adjudged to have fouled Jota an incensed Xhaka was booked for losing his cool. Things were rapidly deteriorating for the visitors and we found ourselves with a mountain to climb when Doherty’s header from Jonny’s cross following a corner flew past Leno who came in vain and looked to have judged it dreadfully. It would get worse for the German when he failed miserably to stop a shot from Jota down to his left and watched mortified as the ball rolled over the line just before the whistle.
The stats rolled up on the screen. The visitors had 72% possession in the half. The scoreline made a mockery of that.
Not surprisingly Wolves were happy to withdraw into the deep and invite us on at the start of the half, but the spark with which we had started the match seemed a distant memory. A general lethargy had taken over as we laboured to create precious little in the opening phase of the half. We should have had a penalty when Bennett stuck a knee into the back of Lacazette, but the Frenchman may have done himself no favours with an exaggerated fall.
Emery had to make changes although his options were limited. Matteo Gouendouzi and Sead Kolasinac came on for Torreira and Mkhitaryan. Joe Willock and Eddie Nketiah were still sitting on the bench. This old fella wondered if one or other of them may have introduced an injection of determination to impress that may have served us well.
“Champions League, you’re having a laugh” roared the home support, and right now who could argue that? We have thrown away control of a top four place, and will need some very unexpected results to nick our way back in. Jota, on the break, teed up Jimenez who thankfully drilled it just wide of the far post as goal number four beckoned.
Perhaps Emery had read my mind. Nketiah was sent on for Iwobi with twenty minutes remaining. One assumes his instructions were straightforward. “Just get us four goals, Eddie.” He nearly obliged with his first sight of the ball as he skinned Boly and cut the ball back for Lacazette, but Bennett was alert to the danger and stepped in to clear.
Jota, tormentor-in-chief of the Gunners, was withdrawn to a deserved standing ovation from the locals. Perhaps distracted, Dendonka gave a ball to Guendozi who looked to free Lacazette, but Boly put the ball out for a corner which yielded a consolation goal. Sokratis soared at the far post to head Xhaka’s excellent cross past a suddenly nervous defence. Ten minutes to go. Surely not?
Bennett was carded for a blatant body check on Nketiah. Another chance for Xhaka to whip in a tempting delivery and Wolves were fortunate to survive at the expense of another corner. Had something come of that maybe it would have been an interesting last few minutes. Instead Wolves managed the close out well for a first win over us in 40 years.
There can be no getting away from the fact that this was another spineless away performance. I know people expect me to offer some justification when we suffer such defeats, but I can find none. How much more motivation can you need than the promise of Champions League qualification? Could we have fielded a stronger fit starting eleven? No. It’s a mystery that needs solving, ideally before Sunday’s visit to Leicester, which now looks a very tall order.

Emery is a very talented European manager but I am starting to think he still does not understand the EPL at all, he makes some very strange decisions and seems completely unable to inspire the team in any meaningful way, Tottenham shock aside how many games have we truly impressed in this season 🙁
well
if no one else
is gonna say it
love the title
(warm smile)
WARM SMILE
Just about sums it up H
In truth the only decent away performance since Christmas was the win in Naples.
The long term injuries to 2 of our best players at the time,and also losing the hard working Danny early doors,has now come back to haunt us.
Our lot are knackered,and the mental damage done by the Palace defeat,was there for all to see as soon as the first goal went in.
I wasn’t aware that if City win the Cup,the team that finishes 7th will get in the EL qualifying rounds.
So no wonder Wolves were up for it.
it will be the same on Sunday at Leicester,and Unai will have to be a miracle worker to re energize the squad to get something at the King Power.
Nice quick write up anyway Guvnor 🙂
I don’t think it’s such a mystery though. We was made aware pre season that there wouldn’t be too much money for a new manager to spend before he was appointed, because of FFP/previous spending rules.
And the inherited squad isn’t strong enough in depth to cope when there’s 2 or 3 missing.
The Ramsey shambles sums up the last few years of transfer dealings quite aptly really. Ivan is a twat.

“We’re up The Arsenal”
Thanks for another great report, sir. Turned out to be just the banana peel this fixture was expected to be, which is why the loss against Palace is so gutting. Europa is probably our only chance of making it to the champions league next year.
Wolves play excellent counter attack and are very difficult to break down which is why we had to score first. They have struggled against teams which defend deep and, in hind sight, we probably should have given them more of the ball and taken our chances on the counter.
The worry is that we didn’t look convincing either in attack or defence and the general impression was that Wolves played the better football though we had more possession. They deserve their win but a major reason for that could be the fatigue our players feel from the extra matches we have played. We will have the same problem in our remaining matches.
So only the next season to look forward to, this one is not going well at the pointed end and in Europa also we face our nemesis, Valencia. So fingers crossed.

Thanks all.
You are a star, cba. I’m not 100% by any stretch of the imagination and I knew on Monday how much I had done on Sunday despite taking long bus journeys instead of short walks! I’ll hopefully be a little bit better at the Brighton game.
Oh, and Wolves cheated. There were more than three of them. Of course they blew the house down! ?
I didn’t see a thread but was hugely disappointed by the result. Emery switches the defence about too much between a three and a four and we are knackered but we could have at least got another defender in instead of the ridiculous Suarez loan .
We still have a chance but who has faith in this set of players to perform?
We will still finish 4th if we win our three remaining games, assuming Chelsea don’t beat Utd this weekend.
It seems unlikely right now but you never know.
Otherwise, it’s difficult to see where we go from here. How can we attract Champions League standard players when we have become so ingrained in the Europa League? And our squad value is so low, we can’t even sell and reinvest like Liverpool did.

I honestly think Napoli away wasn’t that good of a game because they were shit! God knows why they got so far in that competition.
Barack,
I’ll certainly have what you’re drinking mate, we are clueless and spineless, a bunch of over paid divas! If this is what you call effort to compete for CL spot than I’m watching the wrong sport. Any team that works hard and has a game plan will beat us. The only difference this season was against top sides.
As for the rest a complete sack of shit, not too sure how Unai can pump them up for Spurs, Chelsea and United but not for Palace, Wolves or even Everton. I just don’t understand why this is a such a big ask.
These guys earn bucks they should make the effort week in week out if not get fucking rid off the lot!

To cheer myself up today I have been reading Queen of Cups the third in the Durose- Rayner trilogy. He speaks of a wise old Arsenal fan called Dave something. That’s the sort of cool head we need to listen to at times like these. But where do you find a bloke like that ??
Ooooooooooooooh
“i can read”
BOAST MUCH !
‘Tis the start of the leather on willow season and that prevented me from seeing the first half. How lucky I was.
The squad still needs major surgery. The mismanagement of several seasons prior to this one will not get sorted overnight.
For the game itself the Sokratis goal in the 80th minute was apparently our first attempt on target according to Sky. If that is the case then I would suggest that sums the game up in a nut shell.
Coincidence that two of our worst performances have come after Rambo’s injury and when he hasn’t been available? Ivan and his merry men have a lot to answer for.
Good stuff H. Onwards and upwards as they say.
Three more needless mistakes leading to three more goals conceded.
There was certainly an end of season lethargy to the performance. Even all the possession early on didn’t end up giving Patricio much of anything to do.
Silver linings? I thought Nketiah looked bright.
And I, too, like your headline, ‘Holic.
SteveT@26. We had one shot on target all game; Wolves only had three.

ATG@33: It does.
Fine report, Guvna.
Not at all impressed, Unai.
A fine and fair report Guvnor.
Lots to say about all 3 goals but
I think others have said it. Ironic
that our goal came from Xhaka
slinging in a corner.
I wonder who UE will pick for
Leicester.
Our new manager is a master tactician. And he coaches the players much betterer than the previous guy did, just look at, well, how Iwobi’s shooting has come on. And he’s a master of the defensive arts and we never (well almost never, only occasionally, and especially away from home and sometimes at corners and free kicks), concede from set pieces. So he’s really getting the best out of Steve Bould in that respect which he said he would when he wowed the board.
And there’s none of this sitting down and flaffing around with a puffy coat when the team is playing, our new guy stands and waves his arms which is a much better tactic (reflecting his superior tactical nous).
And his team selection is designed perfectly to confuse! Pick a weak team at home against Palace so that we can win against the Toffees and blow Wolves house down away from home. Brilliant!
And fourth is no longer a trophy and FA Cups are for lesser teams like Citeh. So much better than the bad old days. We’re on the right track now and we’re a shoe-in for the Europa. Happy days are here again.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are the friendliest of clubs. I mostly drive to all games, but especially away games. After getting the tickets I phoned up Wolves to ask about official car parks. No problem love, said the lady with the black country accent. What even for away supporters I asked? Not at all, she said, but as you’re an away supporter I’ll put you in the car park where we don’t close the roads for 30 minutes after the game so you can get away quickly. 8 minutes walk from the stadium. That’ll be £5 including postage. The only other club where it’s as easy to get an official parking spot in my experience is (believe it or not) Manchester United.
And so it came to pass. We left Cambridgeshire at 3.30pm, endured a bit of traffic, but got to the car park just before six. Off to the Marigold curry house for an early supper and a couple of Cobras. At the next table to us were a Gooner Dad and his two quite young sons (aged about five/six?). It was their first away game and they were very excited. Poor buggers. An evening of disappointment awaited them.
A brief walk to the ground. Molineux is old school in many ways, not least in being right by the city centre. We joined the stream of old gold with the occasional red and white past the statue of Billy Wright and round to the visitors entrance. There we bumped into some North Bank pals and passed the time of day before taking our seats. At Wolves you aren’t behind the goal, instead visiting supporters get the whole of one lower tier side. We were right at one end, right next to the loudest home end.
Initially everything was fine. We kept the ball, made a couple of half chances. Then they went and scored three times. The first was a great free kick. Fair enough. Then we gifted them two more goals before half time. The catastrophic third goal killed the game. Another limp, poor performance.
The 3000+ Arsenal fans, after good banter early on, fell almost silent after the third goal. Not angry, like in the dying days of Wenger, just resigned. The home fans were delirious and sang their way to victory. They were in truth, very good and we were very poor. The only real moment of humour came when they announced that the game was their record gate of the season (just over 31,000). Cue “Come to see the Arsenal! You’ve only come to see the Arsenal!” But in truth we had little to sing about. We had to endure their songs “Champions League, you’re having a laugh”. “Worse than the Tottenham “. To be honest we couldn’t but agree. Their team was terrific.
Eddie was good in the last 15. Ozil was a million times meh, never taking charge or responsibility but making square pass after square pass. For God’s sake man, shoot when you see the goal! Leno, who has been great, had his worst game of the season and his flap for the second goal was as much the turning point of the game as was Mustafi’s brain fart on Sunday. Nobody else stepped up.
Road closures (as usual when we lose) made for long diversions on the way home and we eventually got home about 12.45am.
Away games are meant to be fun. A different set of fans to home matches, more singing, more passion, more laughs. This one wasn’t. These leaden performances are killing the pleasure. A more subdued away review than erstwhile, I fear.
On to Leicester, my last away trip of the season. Praying for a performance.
@ countryman100
Thanks for sharing your story it seems everything was perfect apart from the Arsenal performance which deflates any enthusiasm of attending an away fixture!
Top man!

I got much more satisfaction from your excellent report than the game itself although having said that I didn’t see it!

As ever, a top away day report from c100. The Arsenal away supporters deserve so much more than they got and have been getting these last couple of seasons, both under Wenger and under Emery.

Great write up Countryman.
I too have preferred away games the last couple of years, I just found the atmosphere at home increasingly toxic and not a nice place anymore, one particular match fellow Gooners even started scrapping with each other!
But getting away tickets remains a nightmare.

Only one away day report to come Countryman, ??
The Burnley game a journey too far,or couldn’t get a ticket. ??
Regardless,it has been a great pleasure reading your posts on away days throughout the highs and lows of what looks like being another extremely frustrating season.
Your Wolves experience was vastly different to mine.
I went with a mate to an FA Cup semi final against them at Villa Park back in ’79,and i have to say it was one of the scariest away day experiences i have ever encountered.
Pre game on the way to the ground the Arse supporters were being attacked right left and centre by Wolves thugs,with the Police woefully undermanned.
After the game it was even worse,with Villa and Birmingham thugs joining their counterparts to bash and belt anyone silly enough to be wearing Arse colours.
Many supporters like Countryman had travelled up by car, so we were particularly vulnerable,as we were off the police escort to the train station.
The thugs were actually quite clever,because even though we hid our club colours,the fuckers would keep asking randomly of people leaving the surrounding area if they had the time,and as soon as you spoke,your accent identified you as a Londoner,and mayhem ensued.
We were very very lucky to get out out in one piece that day,and the mate i travelled with never ever went to an away game again.
Hi GS54.
Burnley went at 50 credits. Wolves and Leicester started at 30. I and countryman junior are now on 26. So Burnley was a non starter otherwise I would have been there.
I totally recognise what you say about the 70s and the 80s. I’m the same age as the landlord, fifty twelve as he puts it. There was zero bother last night and we wore colours throughout.
Thank God for the civilisation of football.

Clive,
I was at that game too and we rescued a young Arsenal fan from three Wolves cowards who jumped him from behind but not before they’d kicked him in the head and eye. All three were taken out by a middle-aged senior policeman who looked like Bertie Mee. Police had licence to beat the shit out of people then. Let’s say he took full advantage !
But we did win 2-0 !

I really do hope you get a much better performance from the team at the King Power on Sunday.
You and Junior will be well pleased at the change of date and time for this one,given it was originally a Monday night kickoff.
I did hear from a mate that the players walked straight off the pitch at the end of the game without acknowledging the supporters,whether that was in shame and embarrassment at their capitulation,or not i don’t know.
But poor show if they did.
CBA @ 61
It cost quite a few Gooners a good kicking that day,and there was no escape,they had you by the short and curlies,because you had to speak one way or the other.
The only other time i was saying a large prayer for my safety,was at a West Ham v Leeds match at Upton Park in the 70’s.
Don’t ask why i was there,but we were behind the goal among all the hardline Hammers crews,with a thin blue line of coppers dividing us from the equally feral Leeds maniacs.
The police had no hope of keeping them apart,and the ferocity of the battles on the terraces that day was truly terrifying.
Bottles and half bricks flying everywhere,it was mayhem.
TTG
Another survivor of the battle of Villa Park. !!
Yes it was in truth a good comfortable win.
My mate and i had seats in the main grandstand that day,so weren’t on the terraces with the rest of the Gooners.
I don’t recall much trouble inside the ground,although you might remember differently,but it seemed to me it was planned to attack us pre and post game outside in the surrounds of the stadium.
Elland Road in the early 1970s could get a bit nasty, too.

Real Madrid failed to score last night but did stave off Getafe in a scoreless draw leaving the Getafe minnows in fourth spot and Real in third. If Getafe manage to finish fourth it would be the second highest finish in the club’s history, and they would finish higher than many more illustrious clubs including Valencia and Sevilla. Interestingly for the Arsenal angle, Getafe’s roster includes both Mathieu Flamini and Ignasi Miquel.
It has been a roundabout route for Miquel. He had two games for Norwich after leaving us in 2014, then dropped down to the third tier in Spain at SD Ponferrafina on a free, with stops at second tier Lugo and Malaga before ending up at Getafe at the start of this season. He has had only six starts at Getafe, however, three in the League and three in the cup, plus three appearances as a sub. Fifteen games on the bench as an unused sub.
Flamini is 35 now. Three starts for Getafe this season since re-joining in December having been let go last summer, plus six appearances as a sub. Unused sub in seven games, including the Real Madrid game.
Clive, if it is of any comfort I was a travel club steward at Villa Park that day. When our train load of 800 lunatic Gooners arrived at the station the waiting Wolves fans were well and truly routed. That was always a dangerous place when travelling in smaller numbers to Villa matches by coach or car.
Safety in numbers then H.
Must admit it was one of the few times i didn’t travel by train.
If I’d gone with my Dad we most certainly would have and in consequence had more pleasant memories of the day.
Talking of Villa Park and fighting, I remember watching the match in 1998 when we threw away a two goal lead.
In the second half Stan Collymore squared up to one of our players (Bergkamp if memory serves), and a Villa fan leant over to me, and in a broad, brummy accent, “don’t worry mate, he only hits women!”

We could win two leagues- the U18s have to win at Fulham and the ladies at Brighton. Not sure if the first team have a game ?
AOC on the Liverpool bench, finally coming back from his latest injury.
AOC comes on to make a substitute appearance for a potentially title winning side.
I guess it didn’t turn out quite like I expected with Arsenal’s English core.
Just to be extra cheery, we are on the verge of achieving the trifecta of allowing more goals than Everton, Newcastle and Wolverhampton.

The under 23’s finished their season this evening with an impressive 3 nil win over Leicester.
All 3 goals came in the first 9 minutes, what would we give for half a start like that at the King Power on Sunday.
Saka,John Jules and Gilmour were the scorers,and we are currently 2nd in the table and can finish no worse than 4th depending on a couple of other results.
So all in all a good first season under Freddie.
Good luck to the 18’s and the Ladies.
You’re right bt8
We are also about to score more than
Chavs, Spuds and Manures. You can’t
have your cake and defend it in our
case:)
Taking of the famous core – Wilshere
is on the bench today too.
Hope he comes on and sticks in a
late winner
Great start to the week as Spuds lose and it will be great if we get back to winning tomorrow.
1 win and 1 draw from the last
9 games for the combined 4 teams
chasing the CL places.
Shades of mediocrity or the
rising level of the PL?
I suppose 3 of the 4 are in
European semi finals.
Did Michail Antonio just ‘Choked the Chicken’ for his goal celebration?
😀 😀 😀
The four teams vying for the two top four slots are totally out of juice ( they are either recovering from their last match or getting ready for the next UEFA CL/ Europa games) which explains why they have just 1 win and 1 draw from their last 9 matches.
Other EPL clubs have improved a lot and there are no gimmes unlike say a decade back. In the coming years even our top six will be under threat if we dont spend/add the right players. EPL is the toughest league and physically the most demanding. It wifi be a great achievement to get top four.
BB @115. That explains it then. 🙂
An excellent goal it was, and to great effect.
ksn 116 – hope wifi reception is good then ?
G_KS at 118. Tv and wifi both great.
