Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Newcastle United (28/08/2022)


Recommended Posts

Willock plays like someone depressed and lethargic. Such a shame he hasn't really kicked off since coming back here.

 

Hope it won't stay like that all season because the potential is there.

Once I saw Longstaff in the starting lineup I knew we were in trouble - just not good enough for a team striving for a top 7 finish. Have we ever won a game that he has started? Thought Joelinton was slow AF, and still not sure Wood is top-7 quality either. This is a game we should have won, instead it was a slog that reminded me of the Steve Bruce era.

Terrible post, we lost our 2 best players and still controlled the game and deserved the win.

A thoroughly deserved point, and unlucky not to get all three.

 

Some of the moaning on here at half time was a disgrace. I know expectations are now raised, but get a grip.

 

Wolves lack spirit. They've got some good players there, but they seem to lack belief.

Absolutely no idea why anyone would single out Willock after that performance from Longstaff. It was shocking.

 

Willock was shit man. I know you like him, but he doesn't fucking do anything. He's supposed to be a forward thinking player making things happen for the team, and ultimately that is where we struggled the most. Anderson starts that or comes on sooner and we win this game.

 

Longstaff had his clumsy moments, but for the most part we controlled midfield and had them under control defensively in there, which are largely his main responsibilities in that deeper position.

You clearly didn't watch much of the Bruce era if that reminded you of it like :lol:

Will absolutely take that in the circumstances. The result could have gone either way and I think with Bruno we win that. 

 

It was very much another day after the lord mayor's show performance from ASM, but what a goal that was.

 

Pope - 7

Trippier - 7

Schar - 7

Botman - 7

Burn - 6/Targett - 7

Longstaff - 3

Joelinton - 6

Willock - 6

ASM - 7

Wood - 6

Almiron - 6

 

Fraser - 6

Anderson - 7

Murphy - 6

 

 

 


Wood the same as Almiron? You on crack, brah?

I think one is an acceptance of ability, the other is a perceived lack of desire

Ah the old languid running style= lack of effort thing.

 

Thought Willock was alright aside from his miss, he was easily our most successful presser. I counted at least 4 times he pressed and won it back.

 

Anderson played really well when he came on, it's a shame he doesn't play in Longstaff's position.

Obviously wants a job at the Guardian.

Hard to bear mate, but Squeeze Louise has some "I am a Palestinian refugee"(*) type blurb going on, so you'll not out-virtue her.

 

(*) I do support the Palestinian cause, if that's what it was. I just don't need it from football reporters. The bar for them is set at "do you really respect the fans?"

He’d fit in superbly with the mackem piss head Glendenning on there.

Bruno Lage is woeful though, Wolves could be a great side with a manager who can get that team firing.


Yep, criminal how crap they look given how much talent they have.

Yep, he was fucking woeful. Can’t understand how a player can give the ball away so many times when under absolutely no pressure. Also lost count at the amount of times our cbs were kicking off as they had no outlet to pass the ball too.

I’m shocked so many on here don’t see that as a really positive result.

 

I would'v taken a draw before the game all day long. That being said, Howe needs to tell the players to fuck off away from Trippier with free-kicks in that position. Anderson midweek playing it quickly and now Schär taking it.

Happy with that and think it's a fair result. If anyone deserved to win it would be us, but that's a decent point on the road.

 

Wolves will be a bit disappointed thinking they had won the game (rightfully called off), but they didn't do enough to win.

 

Tough game next, and the unbeaten run will be thoroughly tested, but still unbeaten for now, feel good factor well in tact, a record signing to come in, hopefully one or two more. Just an unbelievable contrast to this time last season.
