Match Thread | Wolves vs Man City (30/09/23)

[Gazza]

City & united both losing 1-0 at half time, the difference is that you know united will get a penalty or sending off to help them out, City won't.

 

[Gigant]

I thought Nunes was quite good. The label of anonymous goes to Phil and Alvarez if you ask me.

cant agree more

 

[TinFoilHat]

Super Phillips to the rescue (cringe)

That would also go in the typical city thread.

 

[Paladin]

It wasn't a foul. Neto cheated.

It was soft. Replay showed Aki caught his head with his arm.

 

[Gesario]

They have finally figured out a way of levelling out our games pull us up for fouls constantly let the opposition go on similar,play advantage for them as well but pull us back on that,book a couple of our players early doors,but let the foul count build for opposition before even considering a booking,also the constant stop start that happens in our games and the non existent injuries to break up rhythm and momentum..

Yep Sick to death of all the crap getting the breaks against us coupled with abysmal reffing Fkin sick of it Cmon City

Come on blues! Lets fuck em

Really

 

[Gabriel]

If youre not watching dont let these 'attempt' stats fool you, absolutely woeful viewing. There's no one in this team today willing to step up as KDB, bernardo, gundogan, mahrez did for us time after time

There’s truth in that. The four in the middle (Kovacic, Nunes, Alvarez, and Foden) are all tidy and capable of flashes, but they’re not capable of taking the game by the scruff off the neck; they don’t even have the luxury of Rodri bailing them out this week. As it stands, our only outlet is Doku, so one will have to make way for Grealish.

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. COME ON CITY. COME ON CITY.
SHOW ‘EM LADS. SHOW ‘EM ALL. SHOW ALL THE STUPID FOOLS!!
THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

A few gave up bothering to chase back a few times in that half, unfortunately.

I can’t abide half hearted bollocks and no fight. The whole team need to step up.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

At least we've had a habit of second half comebacks lately, so hope today is the next. Shite first half though. Really really shite.

 

[01cravend]

Doku has had same amount of touches as Phil and Alvarez combined. Showing how lopsided we've been going forward

Haaland his usual statue self, marked out the game by Dawson

Walker isn't getting forward as often as he has been recently

Kova not a patch on Gundo as an emergency 6.

Defence very back footish, though Akanji has been good.


So yeah, issues, but to be expected with our injury/suspension list

 

[TinFoilHat]

I am still confident of a 1-2 win.

Me too.

I want the winner to be a piss boiling one as well.

 

[Don Karleone]

Into these bastards City

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Not a great performance, not much threat upfront so far. Lot of own goals this season, players diverting shots/crosses past the GK.
Let's hope the blues can turn this around 2nd half, at least come away with a point.

 

[Odd socks]

Just bring Phillips on now and that will be the end for this thread.

Nunes was alright, Alvarez recently his first touch is like a pinball machine & he can't pass very well, he's outstanding in every other department though.

 

[RobinHood]

It may not have a been a foul, but Ake clearly made contact and there’s a lump on his eyebrow

He'll make up for it with an assist.

 

[RayCTID]

That's why I said in 4 of the last 5

You did mention Forest who didn't take the lead.

 

[stan bowles]

Not sure he does….

Constantly running inside into a crowded middle area clogging it up further instead of staying wide, leaving more space for Haaland and Alvarez and giving Walker and other more options for a quicker pass. Needs to use his brain more.

 

[heslops barnet]

Seen nothing in that first half that makes me feel optimistic for the second half
