Wolves (A) Post Match Thread

[nellyonthewing]

I could only listen to the 2nd half on Radio 5 and I thought Sterling must have come off before he was subbed. Just never heard his name 2nd half.?

What is it with some of these idiots in here. Gundogan to blame for poor performances of others.

No. Gundogan is just not good enough for this team full stop. It’s nothing to do with blaming him for any of the other players

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Always disappointing when yer miss out on three points when yer know, yer just know, that Atkinson will give that pen next week and any week on Wedneday! He wasn't gonna disappoint the RDAHMeedya who have taken Wolves to their collective bosom now Burnley are wobbling! A point away at this time of the season isn't the end of the world but it was a game we should have won!

I don't really understand most of this comment lol

Ederson: There when needed. Nothing he could do about the goal.
Walker: Average. One or two decent runs, but always feel like he is a bit of a liability against a strong winger, both forwards and defending.
Kompany: Made a rod for his own back. Hard to see him being first choice over Stones this season, but does organize well.
Laporte: Excellently taken goal and solid. Strong shout for MOTM.
Mendy: Great wingback, bang average left back against a winger.
Gundogan: Kept things ticking over, but lacks a cutting edge. Takes a good corner and free kick!
Fernandinho: Did what Fernandinho does and very well.
Silva: Slow start, but increasingly effective from 15-25m out. Denied definite penalty - joke decision.
Bernardo: Quickly becoming undroppable. Very nice game. Always inventive, but often let down by the runner.
Sterling: Almost scored the half volley of the season. Worked very hard, but can’t look past his first touch, technical ability.
Agüero: Very unlucky. Hit woodwork twice. Not given much service all game.

Mahrez: Always looks dangerous and technically excellent. Dangerous sub.
Jesus: Worked hard, got into some good spaces, but has to bury a free header from the 6 yard line.
Sané: On this cameo performance, he can expect a loooong stint on the bench. No-one you can drop for him, and when he loses the ball with Mendy bombing on, we are totally exposed.

Both teams had chances to win the game, which means they played well and we didn’t play as well as we could and should. However, it would be a disservice to say they are going to be anywhere near the relegation places this season. NES has a solid team, excellent organization, and some danger upfront. Key injuries look to be their only Achilles heel this season, so if they can keep players healthy, they should be a solid middle 8 team.

Good, exciting, incident-filled Premier League game. Sadly, once again, too many of those incidents are poor refereeing decisions. With the speed of the game now, and what is at stake for both winners and losers, VAR is not only desperately needed, but is a travesty that in the most watched League in the world, the refereeing is spoiling the event!

Within the space of two minutes, an offside, handball goal is given and a dead cert penalty is denied right in front of the ref. Absolutely ridiculous.

Sane was shocking. His head is up his arse for whatever reason, stick him in the EDS for a bit.

How are people saying it was a fair result????? They scored with an offside hand ball so they deserved nothing! Happy clappers.

When u say “shit” I suppose you mean relatively compared to the stellar performance over the last 18 months.
In relation to the last 30 years it doesn’t come near to being shit

Think you`ll find we are discussing the match day on a thread titled POST MATCH THREAD.Why would I be discussing anything other than that.We were shit today as many other posters have pointed it out.We have too many happy clappers who hate to see anyone criticising our players.
Its wake up and reality time.

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

Which is why there should be VAR.

The lino should have seen the off side whatever.

But there isn’t VAR so it’s tough unfortunately .

Unfair but I had a feeling before the game it would be tough and felt when we were 1 down it was one of those days and to come back and get a point against a hard working side I thought was fair enough, given a fair few players had an off day.

Most of the blues on here seem ok with it.

 

[kalouk]

Agree about the goal, but the ref never saw the handball and neither did any of the city players. At the time None of them complained and in walkers post match interview he said he didn’t know it was handball until told after. None of them saw it.

In fairness it's the linesman's job to see it, he missed the handball and the offside the players not seeing it makes no difference.

 

[Homar]

It seemed like our passing was far below our best today. Too many times we gave the ball away cheaply. Sometimes in areas where you just can’t afford to do so. Other times it ended a promising attack.

Ultimately though, it just wasn’t our day. At least we came away with a point.

Pep handling it as well as Mancini with Nasri in 2012. Players need to feel loved by their club.

Players need to play fucking football and take their chances. Not mope around like a spoilt child.
