Wolves (H) - Match Thread - 08/11/2020

[hejammy]

I'm sorry anyone who thinks we've been poor has either really really high expectations or is watching a different game? 

[theessexfox]

Why would Swarbrick go in at half time and tell them they’ve made a mistake, surely that affects their decision-making second half?

[Leicester_Loyal]

Where was all this outrage when we had about 5 stone wall penalties missed last season?

[Dan]

Nobody will convince me that first is a penalty. We're probably owed one for handball after the shambles of last season but I just can't get on board with that one bit. I want to be happy we're winning but I just think the game's a total farce now.

[Tuna]

NEXT 2nd half live

 

bollocks at least one more ad break after this one

[turtmcfly]

Lovely Carra. Just needs brass anchor buttons on the double-breasted jacket for the full Basingstoke accountant look

Apology accepted

[Kingleicester]

It’s a blatant hand ball

They can’t be as bad as they were first half. Big 45 incoming!

Not sure that Wolves are as great as people make them out to be. Take Jimenez away, and they are a bang average team

[trabuch]

I hope the VAR doesn't try to "even things up"

[egg_fried_rice]

Thomas has played well, but his physicality has been shown up on more than one occasion. If they bring Traore on, we'll need to make a change.

[StanSP]

Fvck off Carragher. Maybe Swarbrick is confirming the decision. It doesn't always have to be a debate to prove yourself right.

We missed one that potentially we wouldn't have had it been the first chance of s penalty, so let's say it evened out

[HoChiMinhFOX]

If you watch the handball, he's actually stopped running and is getting in a position to block the ball. His hands in an unnatural position. No question imho.

Thanks Dan. Been a while since you've mentioned this

Alan Smith’s a prat.

 

It’s handball under the current rules.

 

Wasn’t a bad 2nd penalty and a good save. 
 

Knocked us out of our stride and woke them up.

 

They won’t be as poor second half and we don’t want 20 minutes like we had at Leeds, this lot are far better.

We have no idea if this is/ isn’t standard procedure in every game ..........

I agree. Micah Richards does the running motion to defend him but he's stopped running at the time of the cross. 

[LCFCCHRIS]

Many defenders take the decision to make sure their hands are well out of the way when a cross is likely to come in (behind back even). There's no denying it's in a dangerous position if that cross goes in.

Pretty much guaranteed if they do feel they have got it wrong. We just need to score a few more 2and half. 

[coolhandfox]

Leicester have only lost one of their previous 45 Premier League home games when scoring the first goal (W40 D4), that defeat was 2-1 v Southampton in January.

 

Wow now that impressive stats

And we have no idea exactly what the conversation is. They might be agreeing with each other. 

[deanolegend1989]

Forfana sometimes looks like he’s an 18 year old playing in an under 10s game. Crazy how good he is.

About the Penalty, the rules are a joke. In an ideal world I’d say it shouldn’t be a penalty . It’s harsh on Kilmen.
However it’s a clear penalty this season, because there’s been far worse hand ball decisions given(Everton’s away at Palace and Newcastle’s vs Spurs sticking in my mind). I do think they need to completely change the rules though, it’s too easy to get penalties now.

VAR isn’t the problem, it’s the rules and the lack of common sense.

Our Dennis is way better than Smudger - no comparison

Oh jeez .....that’s a scary thought, especially as Fuchs is his cover that side ....
