Rodrigo was a passenger second half so bringing Klich on simply restored parity for us. Klich being more of a midfielder than an attacker meant we had more bodies in midfield so we started winning more balls in there which changed the game. Whether it was specifically tactical or not is debateable although I would give Marsch the benefit of the doubt as a more like for like swap would have been Gelhardt for Rodrigo. The change of Greenwood for Roca, 8 minutes after Klich had come on (and a minute before we went in front), was a very positive one and likely influenced by the fact we had started to look the better side since Klich's introduction so the bold option was to go for the win and introduce the more attack minded Greenwood than someone like Gyabi who would have been the more like for like swap.Rover wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 7:36 am Beginning of the second half Wolves played a lot more diagonals to get in behind our FB's, other teams will have noticed this. Marsch changed tactics with his subs, shows he knows his stuff.
I thought Roca was brilliant; yes he struggled with the pace of the game at times (first time in the Premier League), toward the end he struggled with his fitness (hardly played for two years). His positional play was far better than KP's at receiving the ball and his one and two touch passes were accurate.
Adams did better than I thought he would with him and Roca combining well.
Good team performance all round; let's keep it up against Southampton.
I hope that it is a sign of things to come and we will see brave changes rather than last season when defensvie changes made aagainst Norwich saw us go from completely controlling the game to hanging on and nearly throwing points away.

far less tension when you know the result.
