Wolves look like a team in need of a hug after Crystal Palace loss, and the Super League returns - The Warm-Up

WEDNESDAY'S BIG STORIES Some Of Those That Wander Are Actually Lost Ad It happened. It actually happened. We watched Wolves get overwhelmed by Crystal Palace last night, and we thought — without even realising what we were doing — «Right, they're rubbish, but look at the players they've got out there.

Way too good to go down.» Then there was a dramatic music sting out of nowhere. Oh no! What have we done? Premier LeagueKlopp denies Man City comments were xenophobic — 'I would hate myself'2 HOURS AGO Last night's defeat leaves Wolves hovering just above the relegation places: a win for Southampton this evening and they'll be down there below the dotted line. They look like a team without a striker or a manager, which isn't too much of a surprise, since that's exactly what they are.

This is a team playing from memory, marking time, waiting for somebody to come and tell them 'don't do that, do this'. Plenty of decent footballers out there, but hardly anything that resembles decent football. Under happier circumstances, Sasa Kalajdzic would be banging them in for Bruno Lage.

Now the shuffling ghost of Diego Costa can't even get an argument going properly. You can see why the thought of returning to Nuno Espirito Santo is an appealing one. On a very fundamental level, he looks like a man who gives a good hug, and Wolves look a like a collection of individuals that need, as much as anything, a good strong hug.

A moment's peace, a couple of pats on the back. There you go. That's ok.

Let it out. We're not saying this would fix everything, but it seems a decent place to start. Come on.
