Wolves (A) Post-Match Thread

First record in the bag. No other team has won the opening game of the season for 10 years on the bounce.

Not bad, considering we were only founded in 2008.

Not a patch on the The Coutinho Money cup.

Why the negatives about Hinchcliffe, didn’t hear anything particularly wrong tonight?

 

[TheBlueDune]

Ake looks at home.
Fern in his proper position.
Foden excellent first half.
Gabby good when onside, never gives up.
KDB is just KDBrilliant.

As if the first page of this thread has someone slagging Mendy. Ace 1st half, knackered 2nd. Just like the rest.

Thought he did well not to dive in and pick up a red card against traore.

Worst ref in ages

 

[Holden onto a hero]

Cracking first half, second half understandably a little tired given no pre season. Ake looks a steal at £40million, absolute quality.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Ok. Are you feeling better now folks? No more angst and “oh it’s going to be a terrible game, no pre-season, other teams are 2 games in, they won’t be fully prepared’ etc.... :-) :-)
I told you The Boys in Blue never give in, they fight to the end!! Well done City.

 

[Delphinho]

Get the fuck in. Wolves away is always difficult. Marriner can fuck right off

Accusing Stones of ball watching after he expertly played their striker offside was a lowlight.

 

[Akpowell]

That is fucking brilliant

 

[west didsblue]

Good first half. Faded badly in the second. Jesus really isn’t good enough to take over from Aguero. Too many poor decisions and offsides. Ake looks promising and a solid performance from most. Relieved to get the win.

Overall good performance Kdb and foden link up excellent. Fern and rodri top drawer. Dodgy 10 minutes second half when mendy and stones had their moments.

Stones is very frustrating one mistake and he starts watching the game rather than reacting to it. First game away to wolves well pleased. Getting leggy against a very good side is to be expected.

Very good game of football.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Not the time for negative comments. That performance was as good as we could have expected to a man

Turn it in mate.

He got absolutely skinned by Traore about 6 times and on another day they score from the chaos he caused.

Mendy was fucking shit today and it needs saying.

Well done lads,brilliant first half ,stupid bookings by the blind twat and fitness and no subs till really late nearly cost us fast

the points were what we needed

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Great team performance, with the exception of two absolutely terrible individual performances. Really didn't fancy us in this one just due to fitness and sharpness issues so a huge result to get the win and the pressing performance is hugely encouraging.

Hopefully we don't see much of Stones or Mendy though as that was fucking dreadful. Neither got near a man in the second half and could easily have lost that game they gave them so much space.

I have no fucking words.

 

[Bob Hope]

Great 1st half but a nervous 2nd half.
Looked like we ran out of gas.
Just glad of the 3 points

 

[Toffeedude]

Well done City, good win.

Not having that. Stones was very good in the first half and aside from that 10 minute spell second half where they put us under pressure on our left side, didn’t put a foot wrong in the second.

Great all round first half. Hopefully our fitness improves as we go on and we can sustain that press a bit longer. Promising signs.

 

[mat]

That’ll do.

First match couldn’t have gone better.

 

[homerdog]

sloppy seconds

Ooh err missus!
