[FA Cup 3rd Rnd] Liverpool 2-2 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[SSB]

There will be camera angles. They’ll just conveniently be lost.

 

[Deano]

Awful from the officials and VAR again. Used to it now, but just makes you more and more fed up with the game.

As for us we did ourselves proud, 9 changes and up against their strongest team and we should be walking away with the win. No disgrace in drawing especially considering we didn't get to play them on a level playing field.

 

[Wolvensam]

Also great to see a change in attitude from some players: Guedes looked revitalised after his goal, Adama tracked back and put in a solid 90 minute performance, Hwang is transformed too.

 

[Kenny]

In a month and a bit Lopetegui has taken us from the Lage shambles to nearly Nuno prime levels. Few more additions and we are fine.

Also FUCK VAR

I forgot to stay in my lane ay

Typical foreigner coming in and stealing good British jobs

 

[Sniffer]

If the linesman can see through 18 players to see that Nunes was off side receiving the ball back from the Hwang header then I’m a Glaswegian.

 

[Keef]

Somebody’s commented on the paddy power page
“ they drew a line from the Liverpool defence all the way back to the centre of Wolverhampton, and an old lady doing her shopping had her basket in an offside position”
Probably as good a reason as the official one.

 

[ROVERT47]

Superb performance, pleased for Collins following his first half brain fart.
Fantastic passion from Lopetegui, the damage that twat Lage did to those players is unforgivable.

 

[The Bion]

Think this might be a more or less unanimous verdict thread (!)

Very good performance, the kids did themselves proud. Need to cut out unenforced errors, far too many at the moment that are costing us time and again, do that and we should be fine.

 

[Alan]

I love him so much

One thing he did today that I realized he hadn't been doing under Lage; we win possession near him, play it quickly back to Ruben, and he immediately uncorks a perfect switch to the weak side of the pitch. Did it a couple of times today to Dexter and led to a couple of very good chances.

 

[Dire Wolf]

We played well for long periods and for me at times that was the most we've looked like the team under Nuno in a long time, even the last year under Nuno. I thought Matheus was both terrific and heart-stopping, and is one of the best midfield players carrying the ball I think I've seen, certainly at Wolves. Dexter was good, Collins bar one mistake was excellent. RAN was also good.

We have the green shoots of recovery showing and look a far better side than the one we were watching 2 months ago.

 

[Jinky]

Such a shame that a superb performance (let’s not forget Liverpool were full strength) will be overlooked because of the absolute farcical calls of VAR and the ‘rules’.

 

[prawnking]

Does anyone think they would have ruled out that goal if Liverpool had scored it identically?

 

[Wolvensam]

One thing he did today that I realized he hadn't been doing under Lage; we win possession near him, play it quickly back to Ruben, and he immediately uncorks a perfect switch to the weak side of the pitch. Did it a couple of times today to Dexter and led to a couple of very good chances.

He used to do it quite a bit under Nuno in our heyday. Almost like it works!

You kidding? My new British overlords at work nearly sacked me on the spot when they found out I'm a Wolves lad.

 

[YoungWolf]

Does anyone think they would have ruled out that goal if Liverpool had scored it identically?

Of course not

 

[AndyWolves]

Really well played and we'll get a lot of confidence from that.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

VAR killing the game. Salah clearly interfering and no evidence that Nunes offside - funny how goal line camera disappeared… Feels like a loss and fuck paying £35 to watch officials do everything they can to see a Liverpool through in the replay.

 

[Wolvensam]

Superb performance, pleased for Collins following his first half brain fart.

The bloke never sits down and is constantly barking. It’s wonderful to see.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Absolutely disgraceful. Corrupt.

I know. Alan’s thread was definitely started before Bear’s…
