""It was a game of frustration for us. They played very low and minimised the space, and we had to have the intention of trying to win the game. We had a lot of the ball. I thought we didn't do enough with it; our cutting edge was missing. But I thought we played better the longer the game went on.""
""We tried, right to the end, to win that game. I thought there were moments for us, there were goalscoring opportunities we didn't take. You're looking for either an individual moment from a player that can make the difference, or a set-play, just something to spark us into life. We had the chances, even right to the end, Bruno had a couple of moments, Joelinton had a couple of moments, but it just didn't fall for us.""
Newcastle United drew 0-0 with Wolves at Molineux and missed an opportunity to move above Manchester United into a potential Champions League position. The Magpies registered 12 attempts with an expected goals (xG) of 0.88, and did not have a shot on target until the 85th minute when Jose Sa made a double save to deny Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton. Newcastle have recorded four goalless draws this season, a marked increase from the previous two campaigns. The team attempted 34 crosses but only 10 found their target, with wide-area quality and box occupation identified as problems against Wolves' low block.
