Match Thread | Wolves vs. Manchester City (16/08/25)

[Mr HJ]

One consistent as usual - shite ref.

Ladies and Gents we have a midfield monster on our hands. And, quietly doing a very important job Nico has not put a foot wrong. Oscar showing how intelligent he is - clever player.

Also very pleased with James - looks very confident and decisive. Hope Cherki gets on to do his thing.

No silly errors and we should be more than fine.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

This ref is a ****. Otherwise enjoying it (special mention for Bernardo, Trafford, Bobb and Rudolph).

 

[Gaz76]

Oh, great half by Nico so far too. As long as rodri is out, nico and reijnders duo need to play

That's more like it chief, thought you were going to jump off a bridge when it was nil nil

 

[Stoned Rose]

Decent first half and good to see ruthlessness showing it’s face.

Reijnders makes things happen.

Trafford very solid, switched on and professional.

Dont give these cunts a fucking sniff now.

 

[youngbob]

Shaky for 25 mins but the back four were fucking excellent and made sure Wolves never threatened. For all the noise the home fans are making, Trafford's had virtually nothing to do.

Then we started winning the 50/50s and getting the ball higher up the pitch. Two bits of quality from Reijnders, with some help from Lewis, and we were suddenly 2-0 up. It's been steady enough since then.

Would like to see Cherki, O'Reilly and Marmoush before the end.

 

[Invisible Man Fan]

Another clear yellow, watch the **** dish the first one out to us.

Get your money on that. Its happening

 

[Revolver]

Good half but we still look vulnerable at times. Need to keep our concentration.

 

[Crooked_rain]

He’s world class and for me our best defender. I can’t believe so many on here wanted him sold

Best English player of his generation in terms of ability, it's just that defenders don't get that label.

 

[Lowtower]

Johnny Stones masterclass today so far

Also Rico playing well, which must be confusing for some on here

 

[Suffolk Blue]

Anyone know when our set piece coach finishes his holidays?

 

[lee one pen]

Absolutely this. Very impressed with how many times Nico won the back

Reijnders just oozes class. Effortless, silky, but productive with it

Nico will be even better with Rodri back mate. This midfield is going to be amazing

 

[jimharri]

That'll do for the opening 45 minutes of the new campaign. Was it perfect? No. There were one or two meh moments. But I'll leave the moaning for others on here!

And Haaland has never not scored in the opening game of a season for us.

[journolud]

Maybe just me but Nico H positioning is shit. Besides that everyone is playing well since the first goal. Maybe Doku could do better but I still don’t know why Pep refuses to let him play with an overlapping FB

Yep just you I think

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Absolutely nothing has changed.

From when?

 

[Phoenix900000]

Wolves will have to full on kick one of our players in the face to get in the book today

But even that am not sure

 

[Zenmanc]

Marmoush in for Doku please.

 

[stan bowles]

Well we certainly got better as the half went on. Two quality pieces of play for the goals. Rico's cross for the first one was executed really well to Haaland. Any less pace on it and it would been cut out. The ref giving them everything and us very little. Reijnders quality and Nico G looking very tidy. Trafford commanding and assured. Hopefully Cherki and Marmoush to come on after 65 and put the game to bed.

 

[Gobshiight]

If it wasn't for Stones, we wouldn't have weathered those 15 minutes without conceding. World class.

Also, Nico is looking much more strong and sharp than last season. Looks like Rodri when he has the ball

 

[Cityfan]

Early doors, but looks like Doku is still way off it to be a regular starter.

Hes put in two decent crosses and should have had a booking against him , he's being regularly fouled.
Not perfect but he's not been bad.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Very good 1st half up the blues

See these corrupt scum refs still have it in for us
