Why are you talking to yourself? Schmeichel was never really drawn into anything more than basic catching practice. Two basic saves, that's it.

One nice shot from distance that he parried to his right in the second half, once Wolves had a man more on the pitch, too.

I hardly understand the formation after amartey in for albrighton. Gray seems move to the right while left hand side is sometimes madison or chilwell 

Anybody know?

You literally made up a figure to try and match your argument. Anyone who watched the game knows wolves dominated possession, shots, corners. Trying do deny it and pretend you played well is embarrassing really. A couple of leicester fans have told it how it is that you won 2-0 but were 2nd best in every other department. If you are a top half team then over the course of 38 games the luck will hopefully balance out. We will learn to be more clinical but would be surprised if we are lower than you in the table in may. Cause based on yesterday we are better!!!

No, you lost 2-0 to us. Im not sure you know how football works?

Obviously you’re not feeling totally insecure enough to sign on to another teams forum to preach how good you are

Why do people think passing it sideways in the middle third most of the game is dominating the game?

Not really what happenes is it. We dominated posession and created several chances we should have scored

 We didnt. Our fault. Leicester created nothing. I know you find it hard to admit that you were lucky to get 3 points against a team who were better on the day but it doesnt make it any less true!!! Keep telling yourselves though!!

Straight at him tbf. Lot of power so couldn't catch it, but if you're a keeper you'd be disappointed to concede that.

Congrats on the possession though pal, that’s some going really and I’m quite shocked at how we got 3 points considering you actually won where it really matters.

[RowlattsFox]

Once we got in front, we were lucky to do that yes, we were happy for wolves to have the ball and that’s why they had more possession. Same as us at United last week, you can cling on to the fact they had more of the game but that’s because we let them have it.

We are happy with mid table for our first season. Its not salty tears its just i tell it how it is. Leicester offered nothing at all in an attacking sense. With 11 men on the pitch. Going down to 10 just made them even more negative and defensive. The result is ultimately what matters so well done for getting 3 points but if you want to slag off wolves based on that game then you should be really worried. We are a newly promoted team and came to your home and controlled the game. You never looked like scoring. You wont get that lucky again all season

 

You do realise we won the ****ing league with about half that possession on average per game.

Looking forward to Wolves v Spurs. Gonna be a real spectacle of two teams playing football the beautiful way

You interpret the stats according to your own needs.

One can have all the possession in the world, more shots on goal and more corners (even though a large portion of these nine corners came when you had a man more on the pitch), stats are worthless if you're not winning or can't get anything out of the game. Twice in succession you failed to capitalize on a one-man advantage and your back four look sloppy.

 

And yes, we did play well. It was an open game up until we took the lead thanks to Doherty's cracking header. Two teams who went for it. It's obvious we didn't want to risk too much once we were 2-0 up and a man down, that's only logical.

 

But I'm confident you'll do better as the season progresses.

 

The Premier League is a different kettle of fish as opposed to the Championship. Look at how we struggled for most part in 2014/2015. Seems to me that despite the generally intriguing way of playing by your team, you're still approaching this season with the mindset that with all these high-profile signings and on the back of your promotion-winning Championship season, you ought to walk this league.

 

Welcome to the Top Division.

Probably had no interest in the premier league back then mate

[Oswinner]

I don’t get this love-in for Wolves. They looked average at best. Media have been talking about them like they are the second coming and now people are starting to believe it, including their own fans. Well, they are in for a shock..!

[Mullet1]

Wolves played sommuch better then us and created the better chances. However........I believe wolves only had 3 shots on target to our 2? If that’s the case then that’s the stat you’ll ever need. (Apart from goals scored/conceded) 

[Guest Bob Hazels shorts]

I was bored witless as was Vardy who so shocked with his minor involvement he didn't want to lose it. Frustration.

 

Atmosphere was very flat.

 

After 25 minutes the realisation that this is the 'style' of football that Puel is aiming for hit me. I'm sure given the lack of enthusiasm in the crowd others felt the same, maybe without knowing it.

Can you imagine? I’m actually disappointed that they both can’t win on possession.

Leicester created nothing but scored 2 goals? Give us the title already

Don't think it was, he looked like thunder on the sidelines. The following 20 minutes, and the second half prior to the sending off is I think what he's more going for. Starting slowly again is an issue, good sides would punish us for that, like Man Utd did last week

You wait until the BBC post match report and both teams have 75% possession, in a creditable 0-0 draw.

It's exactly what happened after the first 15 minutes. You created 3/4 real openings in those first 15 minutes and all bar one came from ****ing awful defensive mistakes from us. After that you passed it sideways a bit, ran out of ideas and had largely pot luck shots. In the 15 minutes after we scored before half time we turned it on a bit, your heads dropped and we had you chasing shadows. Otherwise we were poor but solid. Happy to admit we werent great, it's you getting excited over nothing pal. You were exactly the same against Everton last week.

 

You'll do okay this season, you have one really class player in Neves and there's too much fodder in the league for you not to.

 

Still I think it's a bit weird you're spending your Sunday morning trying to convince people on another team's forum that you were actually good. Probably a bit of insecurity about how you actually played.

[foxes_rule1978]

Wolves can’t finish and defend, both pretty important when it comes to football 

[Koke]

At the time of the red card the possession stats were 53/47 in our favour. I remember cos I checked it right there and then. After that of course Wolves were gonna have more the ball being 2 goals down a 1 man up.
