Wolves H Post Match Thread 2-0

[Larry_LCFC]

Started off really poor. Really lucky not to go 2 behind. Think Vardy's isolation probably led to the frustration that caused his red mist. Wish we would play 2 up front.

For me, someone is tackled when they have control of the ball and they are disposed. 

 

The ball was not in control of either play. Vardy got their first and kicked the ball hard. The other player continued their run at Vardy without attempting to kick the ball - mostly because they were too late to the ball. It wasn't a red.

Rules have been changed long ago.  It's a red if you're not in control, doesn't matter if you win the ball.

You are being too sensible. 

 

Clowns like Dean need a set of guidelines - something along the lines of "refereeing for dummies" - which makes things far easier, from their point of view, to come to a deduction, correct or otherwise.

He cleared off the line in the second when he knocked it past Schmeichel too.

2 up front means no Maddison, or 3 at the back which is apparently never going to happen.

 

Vardy should drop back more to make space for himself, or Maddison/Gray go further up the pitch. We should also stop telling Albrighton to do lofted crosses in Vardy's general direction.

Foxes talkers currently looking for @The Bear ?

Decent enough performance shakey start two lucky goals too. Evans didn’t look great but first game so let him off. Pereira maddison mendy all good. Looked like a red for vardy need to see replays studs were up

Vardy was in control. He got there first and kicked the ball. I guess the other guy wasn't in control as he was late to the ball and bundled into Vardy...

 

Puel next game: Guys, don't kick the ball incase an opposition player does a 50:50 challenge and your foot follows through after striking the ball...

I agree with this mostly. Vardy kicked the ball hard rather than seemingly actually tackle the player, who pulled out a challenge. Probably need to see it again though to be honest.

I really like the way they managed the game once they got up 2-0. Good adjustments by Claude and they handled the 10 man situation very well. Mendy added some quality to the midfield that's been missing.  Overall the pace of the midfield was impressive.  If someone lost the ball they were able to recover quickly.  Plus no dumb fouls (for the most part anyway) that resulted in dangerous free kicks.

Not a vintage performance but happy with the result. Chilwell motm for me

I know it's not his natural position / what we signed him as / etc - but why couldn't Maddison play as a Outside MF in a 442?

 

Ndidi + Iborra/Silva/Mendy in middle

 

Maddison + Gray/Albrighton on wing

 

Vardy + Iheanacho/Okazaki up front

[Finnegan]

They're overhyped shit. 

 

We're short in the wing department. 

 

Perreira and Maddison are brilliant signings. 

 

Mendy is like a new signing. I suppose he is really tbh. 

 

Oh and we need to stop this starting slowly in both halves rubbish and actually get in to teams.

I think you do need to see it again if you don't think it's a sending off. Here:

You ask your players to go into those tackles like Vardy did, I’m not sure what people expect? The Wolves player is coming in just as hard he’s just late, if you go in to that half hearted you get injured.

Were you there? It wasn’t a poor performance at all. The first 20 mins WAS poor and they should have scored. After that we were pretty much in control and played some lovely football. Our second goal was sublime.

We were overran for the first 20 mins, saved by the woodwork twice, defensively all over the place because of Riccardo positioning.

 

We were lucky, massive fluke of a own goal to take the lead! 

 

Comical passing around at the back at times especially when Chillwell poked under Kasper. 

 

What the sublime goal, that took a defection? 

 

Poor maybe a strong word but from my seat we looked very average.

 

To many people taking the result into action when judging the performance!

 

[AKCJ]

This is why we we're so highly rated. Just didn't play well last week.

[whetstonefox]

Poor start, too sloppy at times, hope Evans was just rusty, didn’t feel that threatened when we went down to 10 men, classic OG! Wolves looked decent first half, but look as though if they don’t score first they might struggle to break teams down. 

 

Good chance Nacho to show what he’s made of next few games.

Nope. I’ve never been sure of Puel but after weathering that big storm today, we looked to be in control of the game imo.

The build up to the 2nd goal was the sublime part.
