Wolves v Spurs verdict

[Montana_Man]

Absolutely brilliant finish and drove to win the match by the lads! What was the song supporters were singing at full time?

 

[Dan G WWFC]

I thought we was good for most the game after a slow start. Lacked in the final 3rd but the character to keep going, and Sarabia and Doyle added some quality to the team

 

[Big Mack]

The most frustrating afternoon suddenly turned into an unbelievable result.

Superb finish from Sarabia, but before that we were so wasteful with everything. It wasn’t great defending but us not having any nous around the box.

Think I bust a blood vessel screaming at RANis corners, Shocking.

Fully deserved win though, pity it wasn’t by more

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Deserved 3 points for sure
Sarabia 7 touches 1 goal 1 assist ,no one saw that coming, brilliant
Needed Doyle on earlier tbf he has so much more vision than the rest
One vital bad spot of the game is Dawson yellow, missing next game, thought he was immense again today
Cant fault the effort, if at times we were wasteful,passing for most of the game was awful and crossing even worse
That said we more than held our own and eventually broke them with a bit of brilliance,absolutely fantastic

 

[JadeWolf]

Deserved that. Awful game.

 

[VancouverWolf]

As much as I love Doc, I was surprised to see him coming on.. He’s lost some pace, I think.

 

[I'm the Wanderer]

Flashes of Raul on our first goal.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Flashes of Raul on our first goal.

Flattering to Raul!

 

[Wolf 82]

I think Wolves have mastered the rope-a-dope.. let Cunha, Hwang and Neto/Bellegarde run them around for 75 mins with no threat of scoring.. make the opponents tired and complacent, then send on Big Sasa and Pablo for the winners.

 

[WolfLing]

The start of this season was full of unknowns, apprehension and anxiety.

But we’ve somehow come out of it with a team we can identify with again. A team of players who will give their all and battle to the end, with a sprinkling of quality.

This is better to watch than any football we’ve seen post Nuno switching to 433.

The good times might be coming back.

Well done to GON for proving almost everyone, me included, wrong.

 

[Aimless Balls]

We started who I wanted to start, in the formation I wanted. Didn’t look great but then Sarabia returned from the dead at the perfect time. Brilliant from Doyle also on the 2nd and Lemina capped a *MOTM performance with his goal.

 

[Ned]

Deserved that. Awful game.

Really? It was entertaining on the tv, I thought, although our forwards were getting on my nerves somewhat.

 

[Hawkguy]

Sarabia turning into Messi, nobody saw that coming!

*Raises hand*

I've firmly thought he can contribute if used more central.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Hahahahahahaha!

Half an hour gone by now and I still feel like this!

 

[zedkiel60]

BRILLIANT!!!!

 

[Hawkguy]

Thought we played great.

Even if we lost, I was happy with the bounce back performance.

GON has done a great job on getting more out of some attacking players; RAN, Neto, Hwang..

I think JL, for all my criticisms of him, I thank him for Lemina, Gomes and Dawson.. they’re the cornerstone to the fight in the team that ultimately is what is getting the fans on board.

 

[Starsky]

One of the biggest eruptions I have ever been involved in.

Sitting in the North Bank bar and just want to go to bed. Exhausted.

 

[old wittonian]

I thought the ref actually had a good game and let the game flow.

I did too except for the Doc and Dawson bookings.

 

[Dorbelflunk]

Completely and utterly deserved. Spurs were anonymous throughout and deserved nothing. Even their goal was our gift.

We played well throughout, but sloppy distribution and wastefulness in the final third made me feel like it would be one of those classic valiant Wolves defeats. But no. Superb.

Players worthy of mention: all of them. I actually like this team again. Particularly worthy of note:

Lemina
Gomes
Sarabia
Doherty (I usually defend Semedo but Doc did more in his cameo than Nelson managed in the entire game)
Cunha

 

[FJRWolf]

Now that's how to finish a football match, buzzing.
Apart from the early defensive **** up, I thought we bossed the game, Lemina and Gomes were immense, Lemina motm.
Good subs by GON when Spurs were flagging, great assist by Cunha, quick thinking by Doyle and the redemption of Sarabia.

 

[Wolf 82]

Agreed.. found it very entertaining, if a little frustrating

 

[Hawkguy]

Doyle is actually proving himself to be quite the impact player coming off the bench.

I think he'd be quite an impact player in any game where the other team isn't parking the bus and just playing for the counter.

 

[Ned]

I’m trying to work out what time to call the wife to let her know I won’t be back from the pub in time for us to get a takeaway and watch a film.

Kebab at 3am more likely.

Do it now.. never good to leave it until you’re too pi55ed to remember to do it at all.

Sorry if already posted but I can't stop watching this!....

I’m thinking this. But if I do it too early I won’t be drunk/brave enough to ignore her anger!

Hope you’re ok after the eruption.

I had a big one. one as well and went straight to the toilet!

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

Was anyone else really nervous that Lemina was offside or just me?

Do it.. then smash a couple of shots. Win/win!

 

[Road runner]

Absence of VAR was a real pleasure today

 

[Wolf 82]

Was anyone else really nervous that Lemina was offside or just me?

I expect every goal to be cancelled now.

 

[GuzzWolf]

Not one VAR decision....How refreshing

 

[nomadwolf]

10mins highlights, non English Comms

 

[marrs-guitar]

We just don't do relaxed wins it seems under O'Neil.

Fair play to Sarabia, that was an absolutely quality goal and turned everything on its head. The whole team suddenly believed that the win was there for the taking and we overwhelmed them.

Not sure if the win isn't perhaps a tad flattering given that our attacking performance for the 89 minutes beforehand was incredibly clumsy and without any cohesion when it came to the final third, but after the rubbish we've had served up to us by the officials this season I don't care a jot about the 3 points.

Any win before the international break is always sweet, but to enjoy such a dramatic turnaround is one of those that immediately puts you on cloud 9.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

The best compliment I can give Gary O’Neil and the team right now, is I feel like im back in the Nuno era, and I mean it, teams fight/togetherness, Gary’s passion for the role. Get the **** in me babbies!

High praise indeed, but I absolutely get what you’re saying.

 

[Arky_R]

was late watching that as my son was playing! absolutely fantastic end to a game - love the fight! absolutely hate Tottenham too.
My son also got man of the match and an assist so happy all round! woop

Well done Arky junior!

Good day to be you I imagine

 

[rg4352]

It is but I can’t explain how happy I am to be fully invested again as a wolves fan, it was becoming quite the struggle recently

 

[Noweimannnocry]

Special note for Doyle, he put the ball down and released it down the wing quickly to Sarabia which then led to Leminas winner. Great bit of play and quick thinking.

Fair comment, I thought that at the time. Proper football brain shown there.
