Jonezy Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 Kudos to Wolves. They are a solid and strong team and showed how to fight the big boys. Obviously helps when Ederson doesn't get away with his brainfarts, but still pretty sure Wolves would have put up a decent show compared to our complete surrender. Traore is a beast. Wow. How are Traore allowed to shoulder barge into the back of a player and knock him off the ball and then set up the 2-2 goal though? I know @The Bear likes to moan about VAR and decisions going against them, but they got away with one there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach0000 Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 How anyone is being critical of us is beyond me. Half way point in the season and we are 2nd in the league above Man City. I feel like we could be 15 points clear at the top, lose a game and people would find something to complain about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching it again, mendy chooses to take on traore by seeing the ball out and tries to cut across him with his body ... mendy chooses to take the physical contact and in those terms it’s a coming together and no foul ......

Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 (edited) Fair play to Wolves that was a great result for them and puts more pressure on us in terms of the top 4. They are better than Chelsea though and it could be both of us make it. More disappointing than them closing the gap is the way they have no inhibitions about playing Man City or Liverpool etc. Yes, it was against a 10 man team, but, I hate to say it, they had far more grit, desire and tactical nous than us at the moment. Brendan needs to up our game. Edited 27 December 2019 by Cadno'r Cymoedd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off they’re a decent side, who are currently nine points behind us, if you’re worried about wolves catching us then you’re willing to accept we will throw away a nine point lead..... if that was to happen we wouldn’t deserve a place in the top four. It’s a physiological boost for us, can you imagine how those players would feel going into tomorrow having lost to both City and Liverpool and slipping down to third? As it goes we haven’t, and we’re still a point clear, our team talk tomorrow is done, dust yourselves down go out there and restore the gap between us and them. It is a great result, and cheers to our neighbours for doing us a favour, now stop being a bunch of ostriches, pull your heads out of the sand and cheer us on tomorrow to batter West Ham. COME ON YOU BLUE BASTARDS! Trust me, you couldn't be more wrong. Chelsea had the same amount of points as us a few weeks a go when there was about a 12pt gap between 4th and 5th and now there place is under threat. In less than a week we could find ourselves 3-5pts ahead of 5th place and then we're in a proper battle for CL football having been 14pts clear of 5th a couple of weeks a go. Anyone who thinks Man City are bigger rivals to our CL spot than Wolves don't have a grasp on the situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re nine points clear.... what evidence have you seen of us throwing that away. I can’t actually believe that this debate is going on.... so if we go by your logic and so called common sense, you are suggesting that we’re going to go on a raging losing spree and throw away nine points? Something we haven’t done all season? We’ve had a wobble against the two best teams on the division, had City not have lost a man it could have been different but that’s that. Outside of Man City and Liverpool were the best team in the league when on form. We will finish in the top four and probably none points clear of Wolves. Stop searching for any negative you can.... firstly i'm not sure what you're on about when you keep saying we haven't dropped 9 points all season? we've dropped 7 points in the last two weeks? and i'll say it again and probably for the last time. i don't think we will end up finishing behind wolves. i really hope we don't. but, call me crazy, i think we are less likely to finish behind wolves if wolves drop points as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bats8711 Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 (edited) Wait - people are glad Wolves won??? its not about having faith. I don’t care how we do it. I don’t care if 16 other teams forfeit the rest of the year. All that matters is finishing top 4. Surely everybody thinks Man City is a lock for top 4, right? So they are not a competitor for a top 4 place. Wolves are. The 10 vs 9 point thing is kind of a red herring. It’s more about who we have the lead over vs a point difference. It’s 3 point difference bc a direct competitor for top 4 picked up 3 points from a losing position - or two from late winner if you want to concede draw obv it is what it is. But this isn’t like some kind of debate. The result today was the worst one for us. Period. Edited 27 December 2019 by Bats8711 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nutters about I think we should revisit this after 23rd January. IF we are still talking about Wolves in 5th, and the gap to them is less than 9 points then the argument will be justified.

Popular Post Happy Fox Posted 27 December 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 27 December 2019 If we are so shit why are we above Manchester City they must be dogshit then We are doing very well, in any other season we would be in a title race, Liverpool have blown everyone away; and they have proven that. These young players will realise they are a good team the confidence to go to the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City to compete will happen in time. If the players needed a quick kick up the backside they will look at tonight’s game and realise that We are a good team. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammo Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 If our players and coaching staff are as downcast and worried about Wolves winning this game as some of our fans are on here, that would trouble me big time. It’s the halfway stage of the season, we are second in the table - above the ‘mighty’ Man City - with a nine-point gap to a team in fifth place whose next game is at Anfield. Belief and positive thinking will be half the battle if we are to get a top four place. Given our current position - and irrespective of our last two results - there is no reason for doubt and anxiety (and worrying about other teams’ results) to start creeping in. We are still very much the masters of our own destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
