Missed you while we were winning!
Will enjoy your presence just til Saturday hopefully!
You are a fucking idiot. Thank fuck we don’t lose much
I'm still fucking seething and confused in equal measure... If that helps?
...but it all seemed to happen in THE ONE game!
Maybe that's better than it happening regularly over 10-15 matches, yes, this WAS one game, but it was a very painful one to see...
Especially after the start we had...
Son's offside seemed to change EVERYTHING! (as did Dier's in the 2nd half) but that only would've clawed it back to 2-2, and potentially we'd have ended up losing 4-2 anyway...
2-0 after 12 minutes would (almost) have been game over...
How did we let it go to shit so soon after that?
It was almost instant regression of past year's failings.
I love Romero and Udogie, but they proper hamstring us there... (no pun intended VDV!)
that sums it up, but i dont understand why we were so juiced. It wasn't a cup final, we weren't super hyped against Woolwich, or united or pool i think.
Playing a mid table club at home, should've been cooler. was it players hearing about poch all week i wonder
jesus
you can be a real flesh crawling embarrassment at times.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think there was any contact at all.
It was potentially dangerous, and IIRC Mudryk got a yellow.
Complaining it wasn't a red is reaching.
You have to remember that those Nazi Chavs are past masters at winding up the opposition. They know exactly which buttons to press and , unfortunately, we played into their hands. We need to be cooler as you said and not so hot headed, don't drop down to their level.
Also agree that the lead up with everyone talking about Poch in the media stoked the fire. Again, we need to be bigger and learn to ignore the crap that constantly comes our way. Leave the name calling and fighting to the fans.
We don’t stop, mate.
the offside goal that doesnt count is a good start?
I think if Sonny’s goal had stood it would have been a comfortable win for us
For some reason that sparked the Chav cunts and we got sucked in
I think they were channeling us in the ground. Tough as it’s great that we have influence again but maybe not that type! Although it might be better than sucking the ball into our own net through nerves so…!
I don’t know what it quite is either but Tottenham v Chelsea seems like a massive grudge match every season now.
I mean, I hate Chelsea anyway…
I wish we had just been street smart when their players had been trying to tough us up.
Romero will have to learn quickly or he’ll sell himself and younger players like MVdV will be brought in.
The team have done brilliantly, but going to be a tough ask of them, with the squad decimated by injuries.
Of course it happens to others, wolves are no mugs they beat city recently.
I think any one system is stronger than the sum of its parts.
These players have been training this system since July. We still have our strongest attackers available and our best midfielders.
Teams will get chances against a weakened defence but we were giving up chances with our strongest defence and had to rely on Vicario at times anyway.
We're still going to play the same way, play great football and get results.
Sparked the ref as well.
Decided to allow all manner of hacks a shoulder barges after that.
Totally correct mate. Trust the system and good pros like we have got will step in and still make it work. Yes with Mickey out we might get caught more but we will still dominate the ball on Saturday and our front players will step up and win us the game and take the pressure off our defence.
Madders being fit is so vital for us as we will play through and create with him more than any other player. I’ve said before,I’m at the stage where I trust the way we play no matter who is in the team. Of course we do t have our strongest 11 available but we are still very capable of winning games against everyone.
