Wolves (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

[Bewar3them00n]

Thought Sá made some good saves today & kept Wolves in the game, were obviously missing Rodri & KDB in the middle, that Wolves goal was schoolboy defending, but great battling right to the end against a stubborn & well organised Wolves side.

 

[Beanhead]

Also, he did alright when he came on.. added some energy and bite.

 

[MMA]

Someone’s taking it well

He really is a fuckin little weasel.

 

[Frank the Yank]

Robbie Mustoe just changed his tune. Cannot be offsides from a corner-duh

 

[SebastianBlue]

Haha, our goal has exposed how many pundits (most of them former pros) have absolutely no idea what the rules of the game are.

 

[meltonblue]

Stuart Atwell on VAR.
The same twat who that said Rashford wasn't offside for the rags that time.
Bent bastard trying to fuck us over again

Eh?! Atwell asked for the on pitch review, he’s the reason we won the game!

 

[Keeper!]

Sort that MF out Pep, it's so slow and old, get some legs in there

 

[TueartsOHK]

Despite the crowd being on his back I thought Nunes had a very good cameo

 

[OB1]

Hugely dominant game from City.

And, a hugely important win.

The downside was the usual, conceding a goal on the break too easily - although it was very well constructed by Wolves - and not clinical enough with our shooting.

City should have won by far more but when a team defends like Wolves, finding space or making a pass to a City player in the box is really difficult.

Pretty much every team will try the same thing so patience in important, on and off the pitch. Today City kept going, kept playing their game and eventually won by sheer weight of numbers: almost 80% possession, 22 shots, 18 corners.

 

[TFC]

Poor for the most part, but these lads never give up.

 

[ancoats]

Fuck off Wolves. Don't care if that's offside or not, small time cunts serves them right and any team that can't be arsed to do their job or play for their fans until City turn up. A draw against us is only worth the same 1 point as anyone else. All these boring as fuck games with these teams playing anti football and then going for a smash and grab for the commentary to call it a fucking managerial masterclass. Get to fuck. Hope they get relegated and I hope their fans are crying all the way home. Boom - John fucking Stones!

 

[lionheart]

When Stones heads it he's offside but by then he's no longer interfering with play. So VAR intervened to GIVE the goal which is why you see Kavanagh make the square screen signal (meaning a VAR-reversed decision) then point to the centre circle spot signalling a goal. Without VAR that would have been disallowed.

VAR didn't intervene to give the goal. It merely invited the on-field referee to decide as his vision at the time was blocked by several players. Well done, Chris Kavanagh.

To those saying we played badly, the stats prove otherwise. Touches in the opposition box WW 4-83 MC: shots at goal WW 3-22 MC; Corners WW1-18 MC. Enough said. By the way, was EH actually playing? Would love to know his touch count.

 

[ShedDweller]

This debate it’s stupid because Bernardo was ONSIDE when he affected the keeper and only become OFFSIDE when stones played the header, at which point no offence was committed.

Ridiculous debate

Well done blues!

The SLY bastards won't let the laws of the game get in the way of a witch hunt...

 

[Frank the Yank]

we're not "totally at it " because he is absent

Don’t think that’s the only issue though..

 

[PragueBlue]

Listen, I think Atwell is a **** as much as the next man.

But the lino ruled it out, Atwell told the ref to have a look because he thought it was fine.

Can't blame him this time.

Someone gets it at least!

 

[hertsblue]

Revenge for that handball goal they scored seasons back. Fuck em.

3 points. We move

And their winner last year by the scorer who should have been sent off and not on the pitch to score

 

[remember arthur mann]

Ball screaming into the top of the net. Bernardo 5 ft interfering. My arse.

 

[Phil1]

Spot on with everything you said, there.

Haha! Is he fuck.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Someone’s taking it well

He's right about it being inconsistent.

 

[bennyboy]

Scored from a corner and some still moan.
