Norwich 1 - Wolves 2 the daylight robbery match verdict thread

[Parkins left foot]

No idea how we won that, but feck I will take that.

Thank you Rui for keeping us in the game in the first half - Traore the only other who really performed.

Play badly & win is a sign of a very good team.

 

[Pablowolf]

Massively let off the hook by Norwich who should've been out of sight after 30 mins. Still, great resilience and a good couple of goals and it's good to know we can still score when we're not playing well.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Great to win that in the end but that first half was a shocker!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Norwich were profligate when we were awful. We made them pay.

Oh - and Villa are now three points adrift of the dotted line. Happy days.

 

[Jinky]

Well and truly played our get out of jail card today. Simply put, we were dreadful in the first half, but stepped it up in the second half and as most of us knew, we had enough to win the game.

Funny old game football. Battered Spurs last week and lost 2-1. Should have been 5-0 down at half time today and won 2-1.

As I said in the comms thread, take the 3 points and get the fuck out of there!

 

[YoungWolf]

Don’t think that was daylight robbery, Norwich weren’t brilliant like we were against spurs last week for example. They will be pissed off with themselves considering how poor we were first half

second half was all us really. As frustrating as some of those set pieces were, the short corner to move the point of delivery was clearly with the intention that Norwich defend that so poorly

Think nuno won us that game really tactically. We were much better organised second half and the substitution of Neto came just at the right time of course. Not bad for a Mendes stooge eh!

 

[Alan]

Deserved result which we earned just as much as Norwich tried to give it to us.

They're not an awful little side. Taking three points from Carrow Road isn't something you can sleepwalk through. Credit to the team for waking up after the first 45'.

 

[StuardoWulf]

Horrible to watch us play like that in the first half, 3 points from that I will take all day

 

[YoungWolf]

We won on xG btw. We were deservedly 1-0 down but 2-1 is a fair score line

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

xG is a load of nonsense for me. I will just concentrate on G, which says we won.

Not sure about that. They had two 1 v 1’s in the first half and Rui pulled off 2 x world class saves in the first 10 minutes. We were the better side in the second half but we never created as many clear cut chances as they did in the first.

Put it this way, other way around I’d be fuming to have lost 2-1.

We got away with it today but thankfully, it makes up for last week when we deserved to win. As I say, weird game is football.

 

[Tony Towner]

Fantastic result even if it sounds like we got out of jail.
As for the other thread, some of you are such a precious, entitled, bunch of tools.
From the these are shit, we'll smash 'em brigade before the game to the he's wank, he's shit, he's a cunt massive during it. A Venn diagram would show a massive overlap of the two. Feel free to read it back it's embarrassing

Certainly think some of the comments were OTT and as I said, there’s certainly no need for the name calling our own players. However, don’t forget a lot of those comments are made in the heat of the moment.

In other news, Jimenez being voted MOTM on the Official Premier League app amused me!

Rui pulled off good saves from efforts that rarely go in (think Tettey cutting in on his left from distance, how often would that ever go in anyway)

You’d be fuming because we were ahead and had played well enough in the first half. Second half was all us and we had the better chances which we scored from ultimately.

Comfortably his worst performance for us I thought! That is funny. Bloody glad we kept him on in the end though I guess!

Fair enough, mate. I wouldn’t say 2-1 is a “fair” score after that first half, though. Not that we care now! :icon_lol:

 

[Alan]

The calmness with which Raúl took his goal was absurd.

No I get we were very poor second half but credit to nuno and the side for the second half performance (I think it was about enough to win us the game). But agreed on your last point!!

 

[YoungWolf]

Would definitely take Buendia though. Bit annoying to play against but really, really rate him

I just don't understand it, with a couple of exceptions everyone on here has been there through double relegations, league 1, Jackett and Lambert pragmatism. Yet they want to berate the best team they've ever seen on what appears to be a poor performance. Call the performance what it is, abuse of the players is pathetic
