Arsenal verdict

[Mugwump]

Adama. Mau not change the result but teams certainly defended differentky.

We could gave won or draw by the team with more momentum did

We could have won our drawn without him if we also took our chances.

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

Disagree about Podence. Thought he was lively and threatening throughout.

Sort of game where Adama would have been a great option though.

Podence is the only player in the squad who actually attempts passes through the lines. Should have had 2 assists tonight

 

[Ned]

I’m pretty level headed this evening but I don’t really understand how anybody can claim we were unlucky and worth a point. Just because we worked hard and defended bravely it doesn’t mean we deserved anything from the game. In fact, the lads gave absolutely everything for the cause and will be absolutely devastated at losing the way we did.

There is no way on earth that Bruno and his team watch videos of tonight’s game, analyse is and go “we were unlucky there” in the team meeting to follow.

The Raul miss and the Semedo injury were the real game changing incidents after we scored. Not just losing Semedo and playing a very unready Jonny but Bruno having to make that sub meant that he couldn’t bring Donk on earlier or take Raul off for Fabio.

But yea, I expect some changes for West Ham. Obviously Semedo is enforced but there will be some tired legs out there after that effort without the ball.

On another note, that’s the 3rd last gasp goal we have conceded this season. Leeds, Liverpool then tonight. From memory, don’t recall us scoring one either.

The opposite to that first season back up under Nuno.

Love Raul for what he's done for the club but he's not the same player anymore, just doesn't lead the line well and is extremely goal shy. The ball kept coming back all 2nd half because he was completely inept at holding it up.

That half also showed a small time mentality from us, we got an early goal, largely sat in our box and waited to have our bellies tickled. Our luck was bound to run out eventually. Better team won as much as I dislike them.

He doesn't look the same. Couldn't hold the ball and he doesn't seem to win many duels against the centre backs and get it munger control.

 

[SoCal_Wolf]

Neto is absolutely rapid, are you on drugs?

No, he has been waiting to say that loaning Traore cost us a European spot and he got his chance.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Pot kettle black

**** off

 

[oldgold4ever]

Bruno:

"The thing to take from this game is the good performance, the way we controlled the game and the chances we created."

Should’ve gone to spec savers mate. We were dominated.

I understand your comment because we visibly tired but we did control the game for the first 50-60 minutes and Raul, Hwang and Neto missed very presentable chances. If Raul or Hwang make it 2-0 we go on and win. For all of Arsenals endeavour, their first clear chance fell to Lacazette mid way through the second half. So I guess that's what Lage is implying.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Oh, and it's three poor performances our of four without Adama. For all those that think he offered nothing.

 

[BarryM]

I would rather Silva played and got minutes to improve.

He can't do any worse than Raul is currently but at least we would be nurturing a young prospect ... Raul is on his way out. Sad to see but he just isn't the same player and I'm sorry but sentiment has no place in our starting 11.

 

[RMNottm]

Traore would've ran at them and past them tonight.

It would've won us free-kicks and it would've increased our chances of winning that game as we wouldn't have been under intense pressure throughout.

Neto didn't do that.

So, I actually don't really care if he's quick or not, but he doesn't do that and we need someone to do that.

The ball gad to get to Neto

 

[Jay Jay de Wolf]

Yes I have for 60 years. Take your ill temper out on someone else .

As a 60 year Wolves fan myself I've had the same **** mate from that so called Wolves fan Just put him on ignore like I have

 

[Brightonwolf]

Gutted. But actually, we deserved nothing and got nothing. A few years ago we were playing Barnsley, maybe we need to adjust our expectations. The top 4 clubs are enormous - we're not.

Yet we’re competing with them and have been since coming up.

 

[steve vena]

I feel as sick as a dog. I won't sleep well tonight. We blew it.

 

[Stourport wolf]

I hate losing and especially in the 95th minute, but it is the moaning on here that does my head in, even when we win.

 

[bod101]

Enough traore chat please, this is the verdict.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Yes I have for 60 years. Take your ill temper out on someone else .

Yes I have for 60 years. Take your ill temper out on someone else .

Did you even see the chances we could have scored to go 2-0 up? Yes we sat deep, but we also attacked on the break. To listen to your twaddle you’d think we didn’t venture out of the half. So take your dumb comments and shove them.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

FWIW, I thought moutinho was our worst player tonight.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

WUM

Villa iirc? Or maybe that was between 80-90

 

[bod101]

As for the verdict. Decent first ten then an absolute embarrassment for the rest.

Awful diving and time wasting, terrible decision making and just lump it anywhere play. This is isn't the first time we've done this once ahead and I for one don't want to ever see it again. We are better than that, if we want to defend a lead keep the ball.

 

[Jefe]

But the refereeing decisions of Coady one on one and the Neto corner. Oh well.

Atkinson was constantly 25 yards off the play. I wish we had younger, fitter referees.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

**** off

Lovely! Have a Horlicks, go to bed and you'll feel a lot better in the morning.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Sorry, completely forgot that one!

Either way, conceding 3 in this manner ain’t great. Such fine margins.

 

[lostwolf]

We were playing Arsenal folks, that's Arsenal, one of the old proper big 3, the perennial Champions League qualifiers until a few years back. It was disappointing how much we sat back but we weren't that bad.

Remember Arsenal are a massive club and a side assembled for big money. Their attacks were superb, we were okay but you can't always defend a lead against a top-ish side. Get a grip some of yous, we were mostly solid but they broke us down with a couple of great moves.

[Andywolf74]

Gutted to lose in injury time but this isn’t the first time we’ve struggled to retain possession when seeing out a win or a draw. On the whole we’ve done really well to have 40 points by the end of February and what I’d most like to see between now and the end of the season is a few games where we’re good value for the points we get. Felt it a fair but under Nuno and certainly this season that we seem to ride our luck a bit too often.

 

[RMNottm]

Really really poor miss by hwang. Took far too long

When through Ramsdale’s legs! What more from that angle?

 

[WickedWolfie]

Lage got it badly wrong to the extent of ****ing up tonight sadly. The two man midfield was completely overrun. Donk should have been on no later than an hour into the game.

Arsenal were playing a very high defensive line and were bloody vulnerable to being run at with pace as Pod, RAN and Pedro demonstrated. Instead we hoofed it aimlessly to Raul who was frankly ****ing awful all game tonight - that miss which would have made it 2-0 when we were on top....

Raul should have gone off and either Hwang or Fabio played up top.

We're not going to do that without shaking up the middle of the park.

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

Watching the highlights back we gave up a lot more good chances than I realised. Could easily have been over well before the goal

 

[Big Saft Kid]

What have I said to you? The last time I commented on your post, it was supportive and now you write this crap?

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

When through Ramsdale’s legs! What more from that angle?

He delayed it far too long . Should have buried it !

 

[Coeur de Loup]

. I wish we had younger, fitter referees.

 

[lostwolf]

Wing backs who are good defensively and good going forward are a real rarity. It doesn’t translate to direct goals and assists, but Semedo is a class act. Immense again tonight. Really hope it isn’t serious.

He's a funny player. But clearly class. For me, he's good going forward but not amazing, but defensively you never worry... he'll stand his man up, he'll nip in and get the ball, he'll block the cross. I'm won over, going forward he's good, in defense he's ****ing solid. Hope his hammy is okay, worrying that he pulled up with a non-contact injury.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Really really poor miss by hwang. Took far too long

If that was barcelona, there would be 3 players on the line to tap his shot in.
We need a whole mentality change at this club if we want to start scoring more.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Well bully for you. Does that make you feel better?

We didn’t keep the ball well enough, but we still created three other excellent chances and as Arsenal created very little I do think we deserved at least a point.
It was said before the game that we have used the least amount of players in the league this season and yet are competing with the sinister six whose budgets way exceed ours.
The Cedric elbow on Hwang was missed and Semedo sadly looks like he will miss a number of games. White also went down when untouched with Coady through on goal so while I get your point it was not one way.

You simply have to go to a back 4 at some point otherwise this **** will keep happening
