I still dont think it's a pen though. You can't really impede somebody significantly by 'grabbing' in that way IMO. Rodri just hoys himself to the ground to win it. Very soft.

Really don't think that's a penno. You see shirt grabs or two armed grabs that are much worse and don't get given.

Fwiw I don't know if we can say it was a waste of resources signing him (seen this mentioned). We only made it happen because they were amenable to a loan-to-buy situation which worked in terms of FFP for this season. It's possible if we couldn't get that arrangement we wouldn't have made a fourth signing at all. There isn't many signings available for those kind of deals apart from older players who aren't wanted by their clubs and will have higher wages.

I know he's only 19 but find it mad that he can't get anywhere near our side in either LB or midfield even off the bench yet he was starting games for Chelsea last season. Possibly goes a long way to showing how chaotic Chelsea have been over the last couple of years. I'm confident we'll see more of him as the season goes on but definitely surprised by just how little of the pitch he has seen.

Half and half scarves in an away end is a shocking state of affairs like. I presume they were the Dortmund/NUFC ones sold midweek and not a Wolves/NUFC one??

Trippier probably. But he had the injury, and the odd more stinky performance.

There's a fair argument that he's been our best/most consistent player under Howe.

Wolves aren't bad at all at home. Considering the circumstances it probably isn't a bad point. No suspension for Bruno too is also a bonus.

Tbf he's been in cracking form all season.

We look absolutely knackered unsurprisingly. Horrendous watch.

It's both of them tbh.

We've had some luck but the ref is trying to balance it out by giving some bizarre free kicks.

Surely no way Wolves don't get another one here.

Trippier has been poor but like Dortmund I think Wolves have been pressing him into mistakes well. Having Jamaal next to him instead of Schar is always going to make easier to squeeze us there and it's usually so key to our passing tempo.

We've been pretty poor overall apart from Bruno who's been carrying us. Would love Pedro Neto here - think he'd be perfect for our right hand side. Normally I'd fancy us to step it up second half but we look tired and have so little off the bench.

So jammy. Both the awarding and the penalty itself.

Type of goal we never usually concede. First set piece of the season? Very frustrating.

Wilson in his bootcuts in the corner there

Aye I'd be tempted to rest Bruno for Sandro. It's a gamble obviously but we could end up with a very thin midfield against Arsenal if he picks up a yellow.

Rather have constant singing and supporting the team than a reactive crowd that just calls the players cunts and slumps back in their seats every time a pass is slightly underhit.

Blaming the Dortmund fans for our own utterly shite atmosphere is pretty pathetic mind. Drum or no drum our lot turned up expecting to win and just pissed and moaned when we didn't. It was one of the most disappointing atmospheres I can ever remember considering the circumstances.

Could do without that like.

He still had a couple of years left when we let him go to Stoke on a free. We'll have either paid him off or be covering part of his wages for the remainder unless he's willingly given up £

At Galatasaray? Looked full to me. The empty seats at the front behind the goal is only because the fencing/banners make it an obstructed view so they cluster further back.

Ned?
