So would I but our prospects depend on whether the manager fields a defensive 'Hodgson' formation or goes with a more effective No.9
than Mateta who is all hustle but has little hold up skill.

And finds a more constructive and effective midfield. We won't get this from the likes of Kouyate or Luka but maybe MacArthur and Eze ? Oh for the likes of a Barry Bannon .....

I agree with all above sentiments.

1-1 was my instinct and a result I will happily settle for. Wolves have the ability to be very good on their day and have individuals that can.. individually, change matches (thinking Moutinho long rangers etc.). They are however somewhat inconsistent, I believe we are better than my anxiety ridden mind tends to imagine, and this game is far from a write-off!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Ill take it

Having had another look, this is historically low. If kept up for the remainder of year the 1.73 goals per game would be an all time low in the Premier League. Games involving Leeds in 1996/97 had a total of 66 goals and the next lowest, in a 38 game season, is 73.
Games involving Liverpool averaged in 2013/14 averaged 3.97 goals per game

If we turn up as we did against Stoke, they will murder us. With McArthur and CG in the starting line-up, 0-0 or 1-1 is quite relevant.

i think it also depends on the line-up, i think it will be similar to the one that started against Chelsea with no Traditional No 9
