Wolves (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[big gaz]

A professional 1st half performance. Wolves are hard to beat at the moment. We saw that in the 2nd half.

Having done the hard work before HT, the 2nd half performance was a bit worrying. Too much last ditch defending required, and barely threatened their goal.

Wolves were better when Foden and Haaland were on the pitch. That's a concern.

Para 3 yep sad but true

I said at half time it’d been drab.

The second half has been drabber.

But I’ll take that over getting schooled by the rags and some lollipop men and Uber drivers.

Glass half full ffs

 

[pride in battle]

The worst second half in years. An unbelievably garbage game. It was like watching two random teams from the street.

[big gaz]

that just isnt true

They were better the moment the second half started - nothing to do with the subs

Maybe Simon but neither bust a gut to impact on the game. Love the pair of them and I'm hoping their return to form is PDQ ;-)

Wolves fighting for survival, and City have an important game in midweek. 2 completely different approaches to the game in the second half.

We're a hard watch at the moment for sure, but a lot of our players look knackered.

Concord engineers, if it looks right, it is right.
Today’s line up, it looked right, it was right!
Lots of energy, great home debut for the two new lads.
Solid performance from the starting eleven.

 

[Blue and true]

Only just seen highlights but Semenyo's goal was wonderful, his output is gonna be indispensable moving forwards.

A win is a win, I'd bring back Haaland for Gala.

anyone clock the attendance?

 

[Jezza11]

Refreshing performance from the attack first half, tonnes more energy. Second half boring but job done. Wolves are shite

 

[Wayneclarkemunchescarrots]

Guehi will be great for nico and khus development.
Bernie a twat for the corners
Tiji an absolute fanny but a player is in there.
3 points and we move on

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Its all about the 3 points today. I thought we lurched into plod mode half way through second half,any coincidence that's when Haaland and Foden were on ? ?

Fans said the same about Nunez and Gvardiol when they first arrived.

Reinders one of those that needs more time to settle into the pace and intensity of the PL.

Foden comes off 2nd best in every 50/50 these days and don't remember Haaland doing anything.

 

[East Level 2]

We needed a win and we got a win, but I'm not getting giddy after a 2-0 win against a team with 8 points from 23 games.
Let me put that into context. Forest in 17th are averaging a point a game. There's no reason to expect them to get significantly better or worse so Wolves are likely to need 38 points to stay up. That's 30 points required from 15 games, so Wolves would need to play as well as the current third place club to stand a chance of survival.
We beat a Championship side today, a Championship side complete with Championship chants: Yes it's a fucking library, and yes there's a fucking fire drill between 75 and 80 minutes every fucking game.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Pretty dire performance by City. Good job Wolves are rubbish.

I'd love to know what's happened to City's swift counter attacks from before Christmas? They've totally vanished. Slow turgid build ups for the most part today.

Still at least Nunes and Nico (O) are back from injury and Guéhi was really solid. So, we were finally non- porus at the back.

 

[noseve]

Those commenting upon Haaland's lack of involvement after coming on - he can't just go charging about after the ball, can he? Players do have instructions to follow and a team shape to maintain, remember.

 

[cityblue123]

If his glorious pass to Semenyo leads to a goal then your view might have been different?

That's a glorious pass? Fodens standards have considerable dropped recently along with a few others, he needed dropping nor resting.

 

[I'm Blue]

Better but still not great.
We worked harder which is a start.
I thought we might draw or lose today cos I was expecting to be outworked going of recent performances.
So a much needed win and 3 points.
Slightly happier days.

 

[skillman]

Good first half, shit second half. A win is a win.

Some lovely intricate football in the first 45, though. The benefits of a false 9 I guess.

Not sure Haaland touched it when he came on. Game was over I thought so not sure why he brought him on.
