Everton verdict

[Achilles Last Stand]

Total Football and Wolves mentioned in the same sentence, I need to lie down for a moment...

 

[arctic rime]

Magnifique

 

[Wolfman jack]

Finally we do what we should to a rubbish team. Hasnt happened often recently. Enjoying watching a Wolves team often play good football and scoring goals.

 

[JR WAS KING]

Looking forward to MOTD tonight.

You'll have to wait a while. Looks like we're on last

Wtf? We were better than last ffs

 

[Mugwump]

Got no internet and keep losing power because of all these bloody storms so i havent seen a game in quite a while now, but 3 fantastic wins in a row. Credit to GON and the boys, we are doing really well right now. If this keeps up i may become a believer!

iPad out.

Clipboard in??

3/4 of that Forest/Man U match was utter dross. Given that our last two matches missed out on MOTD altogether I'd thought (hoped!) we might at least be on third (after Luton/Chelsea and Villa/Burnley). Silly me!

Now that we're halfway through the season, it would be nice if they could replace the Podence/Nunes footage to show at least one current Wolves player in the intro too!

 

[JR WAS KING]

i have to hold my hands up and say gary o’neil has been amazing.

i was furious that shi had got us into the mess where we needed a fire sale and thought o’neil was just a continuation of the poundland strategy-i was wrong.

Fair play for posting that. Are you starting to like him even though he accepted the Wolves job?

Can't fully commit though, that'll mean the 'I knew he wasn't good enough' card goes off the table, and the chance is gone.

Typical.. we win 3 in a row and because of being the only Christmas Eve game and scheduling this week, we barely even get a mention for all 3 of them.

 

[meeee67]

13 minutes in, a Nostradamus like prophesy?

Hope Heron has not turned blue

 

[Kebab Warrior]

Go on Gaz son!

**** em, we will just have to enjoy it by ourselves. We know. That’s all that matters.

If you've missed our last 3 games then, well, you know what you need to do...

Last on; & Lineker tried unsuccessfully to discuss how good Wolves were & was just ignored/shut down by Keown & Dublin who preferred to fill the time available discussing Everton's shortcomings.

Laughable really. All down to Everton’s failure to implement a back 3, rather than any active efforts on our part to destroy them

Rubbish is a stretch considering we've only earned two more points lol

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Some serious humble pie after that, warra win. Absolute top stuff.

Gazball ay it

MOTD's whole structure needs a shakeup, the amount of mediocre pundits they have on there is laughable.

 

[maws]

Let’s not kid ourselves Everton are a tough tough team to beat, that was very impressive! I’m fully behind O’Neill, I eat humble pie abd love the attaching intensity we have

 

[SA Wolf]

Just read the BBC headlines about the Forest win; 'inconsistent and awful, Man Utd are back to worst'. I'm no Forest fan, but they beat Utd fair and square, because they attacked them consistently. But when some of the smaller teams beat the bigger ones, it must be because the bigger teams had an off-day.
Be nice if the winning teams were given credit for a job well done, rather than the failings of the losing teams, but I guess it's all down to preaching to ones audience.

 

[Evthewolf]

Also great team spirit. Showing Mario's shirt after the goals, and usually players having a good game are ****ed to be subbed, but Cunha came off all smiles to be replaced by Neto.

I could be wrong but it did look as if RAN wasn’t too pleased to be subbed.

 

[JonahWolf]

He was not happy, no. But I think that was more that he was having a field day. Considering his beaming smiles and celebrations during the goals, I’m sure he’ll cope.
He’s looking even more confident than ever.
Still sketchy in those final decision, but boy does he glide. Beautiful footwork, or indeed, filthy, as Spiers et al would say.

 

[Wolf in the sun]

bloody brilliant today..a really complete performance

happy new year to you all

 

[fleck1]

Don't remember the last time I've enjoyed a performance that much. How it wasn't 6 or 7 I don't know, Everton were grim but we were at it from the first to last whistle.
Hwang, Cunha and Sarabia interchanging and popping up all over the pitch, Doyle and Gomes totally dominating the middle of the park and RAN & Nelson causing absolute chaos down the wings.
If this is Gazball I'm in.

 

[lobodelsur]

Best performance for quite some time, straight from the kick-off. Not conceding an early goal and a good mix of the long and short game, though Hwang's decision-making twice left something to be desired. Doyle filled in for Mario seamlessly, allowing Joao to go marauding higher up the pitch - all in all a top-class performance against a solid side. Pity our two disallowed goals didn't stand as the 1st was beautifully constructed and the second showed the benefits of a high press. And when was the last time we had 2 central defenders score ?

 

[John Wolves Fan]

A comfortable 3 points with some superb football being placed against a tough team. Well played GON and the team.

Also great to see Neto back!

 

[JR WAS KING]

Never thought I would see a post like this on a rival message board

 

[yateleywolf]

Best home performance since Liverpool H last season under Lopetegui. That one silky move in the second half was outstanding. Doyle was my MOM really stepped up and controlled the tempo of the game. No brainer we sign him in the summer.
Good to see Neto return but wish when he's in he tries and pass it in the net rather than leather it.

 

[Wolf in the Lions' Den]

I enjoyed this post — must still be traumatised by Van De Beek’s loan last year:

We certainly were Pacey in attack yesterday (if you watched Dawson’s Creek you’ll get it)!

 

[Brizzlewolf]

We're like a free scoring goal machine......WTF!?

Would have been different if Shearer and Richards were on.

Got a big hug and a few words from Gaz in the dugout.

 

[MattH]

A great performance and difficult to choose a man of the match. What was most impressive was the sense of togetherness from the players, the kind of gutsy performance we used to see under Nuno.

Gary has got the right players in the right positions and they clearly want to play for him and one another. It's a great sign for this season and the future if we can add further quality players who fit in with the ethos he's developed.

A candidate for MOTM must be Semedo. As well as doing his usual job well at times he was playing some sort of inverted wing back position, cutting inside to switch the play. Everton had no way of stopping it given their midfield already had their hands full with Gomes and Doyle.

 

[MattH]

I could be wrong but it did look as if RAN wasn’t too pleased to be subbed.

I noticed that, he kicked a water bottle as he walked past the Steve Bull. He also wandered back onto the pitch as he came across the North Bank.

I got the impression it was frustration that he wanted to score/stay on the pitch rather than anything else. He's the sort who's body language is easy to read if he's ****ed off and his performance didn't suggest that at all.

 

[thommo1984]

Maybe too far behind for Europe but as our last top manager said, dreaming is free.

3 points?

He's the sort of player who acts impulsively. I think he just wanted to see the game out for Mario.

For whatever reasons we just arent media darlings. The only way to shut these ******s up is with consistent performances and working our way up the table.

On the contrary I reckon I've heard more compliments about us this season than even under prime Nuno, which for all its success was not a neutral's favourite

 

[Ches78]

Just watched MOTD recording. Hilarious. As predicted by many, rather than talking about any of our good stuff it was all about how poor Everton were in defence. So predictable. Oh well, never mind - we know what matters. On to 2024...
