Wolves (H) Post Match Thread

Bernardo outstanding again for me, he may not be getting as much of the ball as he likes but his work rate is off the scale, the constant harrying and tracking back and tackling is key to how we get the ball back so quick. The whole teams work ethic is unreal, keep this up and who knows what we will end up at the end of the season.

I didn’t realise we were playing the Portuguese national team. I even expected Ronaldo to pop up with a hat trick!

Thought yesterday was one of our better performances, the amount of times we won the ball back from hard work crowding players out was incredible.

I think robbie savage deserves a bit of credit, tone aside, he actually sees things better than many admit.

He called all three onsides righ by eye, before the var screen even came up.

Jesus' first goal i though was offside in play, var checked it (that one wasnt flagged from memory) in the buildup,
and he straight away said ths player on the far left plays it onside at the time of the pass. Jesus second i thought was tight enoigh to be offside, again, he said straight away, his knee is behind the defender. And the Laporte one he called right too, when he said i think the defender's foot plays him onside. Var manipulated the timing and the lines to the nearest pixel to back the linesman (they damn well tried for jesus' second ss well, giving him an extra knee), but credit to him for spotting the detail on first viewing.

amazing win! this was control of a good premier league team for 45 mins, and when we got stuffed over by VAR to kill the game, we had to completely change in the face of a buoyed Wolves team, and we forced our own luck and will on the game, the last 20 mins only had one outcome we were so fierce in attack. Great to see!!

i've noticed this before, Savage has an uncanny eye for offside.

also, after a rocky start to his BT Sport career, he now really likes us.

It was a good game, very enjoyable. First half total control and we really should have scored another. The VAR stuff is nonsensical. There has to be better than the current process. Clear space between attacker and defender? Part of the body that scores the goal onside or offside? That would surely be easy to administer. I thought Mahrez was very good and seemed to add workload to the mesmeric skill set. Kev and Raz better than West Ham. Always annoying to lose a goal to a set piece but I couldn't see much wrong with the defending. Cody did bloody well to get on the end of it and the quality of the ball in was outstanding. The response was incredible and brilliant to see Gabby get a couple.

Every player was at it, very hard to single anyone out as they were all very very good which bodes well.

Impressed as usual by Espirito Santo. Classy guy and very complimentary about the team, the players and Pep.
Traore is a sulky big girls blouse.

Looking forward to 22 in a row on Sunday.

He’s certainly gone up in my estimation. He seems to genuinely enjoy his job, says what he sees without adding boring caveats. That said, he was still a twat of a player though!

Over the years plenty of Blues got it
Ian Mellor suffered shit loads then left us and won European Cup
Good job social media not on back in the day

I assume you meant Ian Bowyer

The win is all that matters. Good to see we can rally and step it up from a minor setback when needed, we've not had to do that for a while but the 3 late goals shows how we could have won this in the first half had we played at a slightly higher tempo. Now bury the rags and seal the title in style.

Bury the rags, I think quite a lot of them are going into this game already beaten and despite a sustained period of lording it over them that has NEVER happened before.
