Wolves 0-2 Brighton: Verdict Thread

[Wolftone]

Sure there's an element of this but I think it's too easy to pass it off as "they're thick/ignorant" but some think football is a bubble where anything goes. They need to start finding out.

Definitely. Similar to politics. I'm not a big fan of Starmer but seeing crowds at a nightclub chanting 'Keir Starmer is a wanker', or nobodies throwing yoghurt at Farage is unacceptable.

I agree, there’s far too many for it to just be the ‘thick and the ignorant’, I reported someone to a Steward a few years back, waste of time.
I was just shaking my head today, too old for confrontation nowadays.

that is normal, the attack of this team its Cunha or JSL.

The others dont exist: Sarabia, Guedes, Muntesi

But that is normal if u whant play 5-3-2 and ur two wings are bad.

That system its because the wings and the defense are bad defenders, not because that wings are great on attack.

You guys need less defender, and more midfields-attack players.

Like 3-4-3 but good wings, or 4-2-3-1 whit good midfields.

I must say that I love you telling Wolves fans who have been watching us 20, 30, 40 years or more what we need.

Agree with the broader point, but we also played some grim stuff under Nuno. Against Brighton no less

'19 Huddersfield.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Thought the first 30 minutes were quite entertaining, after that our goal threat vanished (bar Sarabia).
We're not as sloppy as under GON, but I still get nervous when we pass it around at the back against a team that presses as well as Brighton did - so not at all surprised we gave the ball away on the edge of our own area for the 1st goal, but didn't expect it to be Cunha. Didn't read the match thread - but why was Cunha not given a red card for that - surely the very definition of a goal scoring opportunity?
Amazed Welbeck had never scored double figures in a season before, and van Hecke was the best player on the pitch.

Can’t have “double jeapody” on a penalty when the player tries to get the ball. If he had just pulled him to the ground, it would have been red but he tried to win the ball.

 

[Del Woppio]

He didn't try to get the ball though

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Cunha was very lucky not to see red.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Maybe in his mind he thought he could reach it, but he wasn't remotely close to playing the ball. Has to count as a deliberate trip.

 

[Lycan]

I think a yellow is the right call really but we couldn't have complained too much if it had been a red.

The innocence and enthusiasm of youth, eh?
I'll give the guy credit for engaging in another language about Wolves but as you note, hey, I have been watching/moaning about Wolves for nearly 60 years and my mother has been since we missed out on winning the league by being too nice against Liverpool in the last game of 1947. She also vividly remembers her father being disappointed by us missing out on the double in 1939.
There will be others on here with similar backgrounds and connections.
¡Feliz dia Celtiña! ¿Supongo que usted es hincha de Celta Vigo?

I think Celtina is doing a great job on here, in another language. Speaking is one thing but writing on a football forum in another language, that takes big cajones so my admiration for that.
I've been speaking greek for over 30 years here, but would i go amd write on a greek footie forum.....would i fuck.
So plaudits galore Celtina.

 

[Tony Towner]

Top work in managing to write complete bollocks in a foreign language. I mean he/she doesn't know what formation we play or the positions the players are in, but does so in English. Bravo

 

[Lycan]

Does anyone have any footage of the Agba Maradona turn under pressure inside his own box?

or nobodies throwing yoghurt at Farage is unacceptable.

There is no situation where throwing things at farage is unacceptable

Is he not allowed an opinion? I have been watching Wolves since the age of seven. Currently 50 years. I will listen to his opinion, happy to agree or not, but no need to put him down like that. An apology would be warranted.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

You might be waiting a while.

 

[t3ch]

I’ve been watching for near 20 years at this point and I can’t imagine many here give much of a shit about what I have to say about the team

 

[Celtiña]

Don't worry, i only say mi percepción. My english not is good because im deaf, i never learn english in the school, but im autodidactic, and i have 47 years old.

My percepción of the wings are that:

RAN, dribbler and short pass abuser. He try asociate a lot of Cunha. That play style of dribbling and short passes its nice in some situatións, but he dont made good long passes, or long centers to area . And that is strange on one wing if you have two player like Mutesi and Larsen on area.

Semedo look better wing, but i think he are on 60% fitness.

I love more on the winger players like Rodrigo Gomez, by that dont understand by he only have 700 min on all season. He made a lot good games and actions? by dont play more?

About the wings, and other position.

I think the pre-season affected this team, not is normal to miss so many long balls on this point of season. And this not is only problem of the wings, the gk miss a lot long passes to larsen, the midfields don't use long passes.

And i think Vitor improve the games with the help of Agbadou on defense. But i think he need forget old defensive problems of this season, becasue now have Agbadou and turn a bit more offensive the next games, aka, wings more free.

And try use that long passes and centers to area. Using all time a lot dribbles and short passes help the defense of team rival return and organizate fast.

And yes, i'm fan of Celta de Vigo, ex team of Larsen. And the season of Larsen don't is a surprise for me. But he it's being wasted, because don't use good the long passes and good centers to area. Im sure if you guys improved it, the next season of Larsen turn to epic.

 

[Alan]

I welcome the outside perspective tbh. It’s not as if she (guessing, apologies if wrong) has been rude about it, at least not that I can tell.

Not sure what the ruckus is about.
