Crazy. Just when exactly do they expect to fit these games in?

Rumours doing the rounds on Twitter that Brands could now return. Farcical.

It was Marcel Brands for a few years, but he left earlier in the season. Many fans felt he had too much influence and didn't work well with the manager, but if anything they've got worse since he left.

£500m spent on transfer fees since 2016 and still their best player is an academy graduate. Says it all.

Another S. Armstrong in the squad would be too confusing for everyone.

Benitez sacked. Announcement due tomorrow.

Watching it back on MOTD, it looked like he took a ball full in the face moments before and he was trying to signal that he needed treatment when Traore ran past him. Can't blame Traore really. He's been on a massive goal drought so he's not going to let a minor thing like a head injury to the player marking him stop him from running through and scoring. Perhaps the ref should have spotted it and stopped the game though?

He pulled up injured and needed treatment, otherwise he would have dealt with the ball to Traore comfortably.

He was no worse than Redmond or Tella though. Even if it was his lack of involvement that prompted Ralph to hook him, there was no like for like replacement on the bench so a change of shape was the only option.

I'm wondering if the HT shape change was forced. Diallo was playing OK first half so maybe he had an injury worry, but the lack of another CM on the bench meant Ralph had to reshuffle things a bit.

Literally nobody on here has said that.

Meh. Frustrating result but I'm not too downhearted. We weren't terrible by any means. Overall the performance wasn't as bad as the scoreline suggests, but one or two players didn't do enough - Redmond, Tella, Broja were completely ineffective. First goal was a travesty. Clear from one angle that Bednarek got the ball but VAR didn't show that angle to the ref on the monitor, Second goal is all on Forster. Absolutely hopeless goalkeeping. Pathetic. Third goal wouldn't have happened if Lyanco didn't pull up injured. JWP's free kick was out of this world and didn't deserve to be on the losing side. Draw a line under it and move on. And buy a new goalkeeper who won't fall to the side and invite a penalty taker to go the other way, and stand there looking bewildered when a looped free kick comes into the box.

Not surprised. Yet another blatant dive from this bunch of cheating pricks.

That would have been easily defended if Lyanco wasn't injured.

What happened with Lyanco there? He just stopped. Is he injured?

Oh my god! Off the post from Perraud!!!

Silva leans in at the last second and goes over like a sack of spuds. And the lino bought it hook, line and sinker. I really dislike this Wolves team.

Oh look. Moutinho rolling around and making a meal of a nothing tackle.

Stunning.

Wolves have been pretty crap really. 2-0 really flattering them.

Arma comes on for Broja, who has been so isolated and anonymous in the second half I forgot he was even playing.

Jimenez slips over. Surprised they didn't give him a pen for it on today's showing.

Time to make some more changes Ralph. Redmond has done nothing of note all game. Tella not having a good game either.

Absolutely pathetic from Forster.

And that's our afternoon over then
