Everything about Wolves is fantastic.
So I don't want Wolves fans to go mad at me saying, you're trying to get people to come take our manager and our players.
But that is the level.
So I hope Wolves can get at least top six and sustain the Europa, but then get a Champions League, then they're matching these players' ambitions because there's a lot of very, very good young players.
And they've taken players from League One.
Wolves from the Championship.
There's a lot of those players that played for Wolves today in the Championship.
But League One with Chris Wilder...
really good clear identity the recruitment the profile the system they play brilliant if there's some you know i don't want to be disrespectful chris wilder but if there was a foreign manager i think play you know maybe a bigger name playing in that way with overlapping fullbacks never been out of balance taking it to all these top teams bringing players say from league one all the way through now they've had a go in this window as well spent more money sheffield united i tell you that is an awesome job he's done there absolutely
I love the save.
My background is coaching now, goalkeepers, and they talk about this De Gea, how he saves.
So he's very narrow of his legs, but he stands tall.
So back in the day, they used to coach, you drop a little bit lower, and the strikers were roofing it.
Well, here, if it goes low, he saves it with his feet, but he stands high and with power.
He doesn't only get, he gets two hands to that.
to push it over, so very, very good goalkeeping, didn't come too far down the line, but we talked about in the build-up, the way Traore and Jimenez combined, good chance of Wolves, but De Gea, who didn't have loads to do, that's a sign of a top goalkeeper, because you have to make that big save and preserve the clean sheet.
to do more yeah and how many if it had gone low he'd block it with his feet look how narrow his feet are how often do you see from those sort of angles but if he had been shot he'd have been able to close his legs together but he said he stands tall and a lot of back in the day we used to get beaten in the roof of the net because strikers studied it it got better he's gone for power got nothing to aim for but if he was too far down the line he wouldn't have had time to react he knows defenders are closing him him and theirs is just concentrating on a good connection so that is textbook goalkeeping transfer the pressure make the save and uh it looks pretty routine but because he's got it technically
I think we call that the goalkeeper's union.
So I don't remember when I was young working on foot saves, and it's all trying to get your hands to things, but now because of strikers, the ball's moving quicker, it's lighter, maybe there I'd have come and tried to narrow the angle and you get missed out, but no, transfer the pressure, working on it, but a foot save, you see it so often, so often, and you don't have to make the perfect save, use all your armoury, but David De Gea, I think obviously his 300th appearance in the Premier League for Manchester United today.
And there you go.
