feeling optimistic. should be fun at least.

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 13:58 (five years ago)

That looked a fairly clear penalty.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:15 (five years ago)

Oh goddammit

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:16 (five years ago)

in real time i thought bullshit, replay makes it credible but ffs

big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:17 (five years ago)

Not a good start

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:18 (five years ago)

Lotta game left, let's get it back

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:18 (five years ago)

gotta do more training on running without moving your arms

big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:20 (five years ago)

Should be surgically removed before each match

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:21 (five years ago)

maybe some kind of straitjacket

big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:22 (five years ago)

They'd have to make chest control illegal then. Gotta have some random penalties from crosses or else what's even the point of the sport

hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:23 (five years ago)

Oh thank fuck. Patricio.

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:42 (five years ago)

Let that inspire y'all.

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:42 (five years ago)

great save, thank fuck

big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:43 (five years ago)

finally some inspired play at the end of the half, though ultimately not amounting to much. Wolves just very nervy with the ball, feel like for the first 40 minutes, most of the possession came from defenders.

do you think this is mostly just an expected product of inserting so many new pieces into the lineup this year that still haven't congealed? was so used to their one-touch passing last year, and now they're very slow and indecisive with the ball. feeling like midfield can barely keep the ball. forwards being completely taken out of the game as a result.

halftime sub, Traore? i know that wouldn't be Nuno's usual choice to sub that early but idk, they need a spark of some type, maybe a player that draws double-teams to free up other people.

still in it though, but have to play better than that.

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:53 (five years ago)

coming back into this, have to start the second half with some intensity

big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:53 (five years ago)

i don't think he'll change anything at half time, this is partly tactical and partly mental but you'd see us starting to get in gear for the last 5-10 mins. i think the close passing game is fine margins and when it doesn't work it sometimes just takes little tweaks of position to get it firing

big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:55 (five years ago)

hoping they start out more like they ended the first half. crosses into the box were looking pretty good and eventually one of them lands in a deadly area.

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:58 (five years ago)

things not coming off for Podence and to a lesser extent Neto or Raul but they all move and cover so much ground that i wouldn't single any of them out yet

big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 8 November 2020 14:58 (five years ago)

lol Semedo ffs

big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 8 November 2020 15:09 (five years ago)

missed it, was arguing w/ someone who was wrong on the internet

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 15:13 (five years ago)

aw man that last build-up was great, if only someone coulda gotten a damn leg on it

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 15:15 (five years ago)

ok this is looking a lot more like Wolves. nice

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 15:16 (five years ago)

And heeeeeeeere's Traore

big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 8 November 2020 15:20 (five years ago)

Ugh great ball Semedo but ruined by offside/bottling

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 15:28 (five years ago)

meh. better in the second half but Leicester did too well to disrupt any real chances, other than that solid Neves strike which got parried away.

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 15:57 (five years ago)

lost to a dubious penalty, team performances getting better game on game imo, not too despondent. Never strike was a peach

big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 8 November 2020 15:58 (five years ago)

Neves strike, even

big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 8 November 2020 15:58 (five years ago)

still in an ok place in the table yea

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 November 2020 15:58 (five years ago)

Liverpool playing four up front is working well.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 8 November 2020 16:55 (five years ago)

Was working well.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 8 November 2020 17:11 (five years ago)

So many bad penalties this weekend.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 8 November 2020 17:13 (five years ago)

dare i say bergkampesque

imago, Sunday, 8 November 2020 17:27 (five years ago)

A bumper weekend for VAR decisions which are correct in an unbelievably tedious way

hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Sunday, 8 November 2020 19:28 (five years ago)

That escalated quickly.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 8 November 2020 20:51 (five years ago)

Ah,

hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Sunday, 8 November 2020 20:52 (five years ago)

Can we have an upcoming international break where Grealish can expect to play no meaningful part every week?

hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Sunday, 8 November 2020 20:57 (five years ago)

Aubameyang didn't have a shot

hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Sunday, 8 November 2020 21:33 (five years ago)

so, how good a manager is dean smith

imago, Monday, 9 November 2020 02:05 (five years ago)

tbh I think he is a good example of just wanting it more

imago, Monday, 9 November 2020 02:05 (five years ago)

Villa Brighton had been a liiiitle bit frustrating so far

Fair play to Danny Welbeck for being out there scoring classy dinked finishes in 2020 though

hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 21 November 2020 15:48 (five years ago)

Michael Oliver having one of his special days again.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Saturday, 21 November 2020 16:55 (five years ago)

Perfect that he overturned his own correct decision

crisp, Saturday, 21 November 2020 16:56 (five years ago)

Fucking clown

hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 21 November 2020 16:58 (five years ago)

Brighton deserved to win though, Villa were over-aggressive and sloppy

Not convinced we have much to work with outside of the same 12 players that featured in every match before today, so if Barkley's out for a long time that could be pretty depressing

hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 21 November 2020 17:27 (five years ago)

Said in the expectation that they will come back and win but City do not appear to have a clue how to defend against Spurs atm.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Saturday, 21 November 2020 17:45 (five years ago)

One on one defending from spurs has been super, the kind of think poch seemed to leave to the players to get right but mourinho has been in faces about

Ideally quality of decision in attack picks up a bit cos this has two goals either way left in it

spruce springclean (darraghmac), Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:31 (five years ago)

What's deems doing in the wolves thread

or something, Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:53 (five years ago)

A fabulous performance.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Saturday, 21 November 2020 19:22 (five years ago)

var just means refs making terrible decisions slowly rather than quickly.

oscar bravo, Saturday, 21 November 2020 22:31 (five years ago)

var just means refs believe in the big club story slowly
