Everton verdict

[loppers86]

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.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

What an outstanding performance.

You're literally talking every player an 8/10 at least I reckon. One of the best displays since we returned to the Premier League, which says a lot.

 

[clivewolves]

Best performance of the season so far for me because it was so controlled. I expected more from Everton but we controlled them easily. Everyone played their part. It's nice to watch a Wolves game with absolutely nothing to worry about for a good amount of time.

Man of the Match is a tough one as everyone did their job but I'll go for Sarabia. It could have been one of many though.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Absolutely magnificent. Best all round performance since we beat Arsenal at home under Nuno. Comfortable throughout and probably deserved to win by more. Looked absolutely electric going forward and some breathtaking football at times.

Everyone excellent but Cunha MoM, closely followed by Doyle. Thought he and Gomes may get overrun in midfield but they both ran the show. Hugely impressive for such young footballers.

An almost flawless display where everything came together. Huge, huge credit to O’Neil and the coaching staff. Looked a genuinely good Premier League side today.

What a week to be a Wolves fan.

 

[VancouverWolf]

BLISS.

a long, long time time since Wolves made me feel this way

 

[Clifton Wolf]

3-0 could easily have been 6!

GON has done a fantastic job and made it fun to watch Wolves again!

 

[marrs-guitar]

Totally bossed them from start to finish.

Whereas winning by 3 goals during the week was about clinically using huge errors from the opponent, today was just a solid reward for total domination. We really could and should have scored 5.

A fantastic end to a calendar year that started in a very jeopardous position and despite the typical Wolves rollercoaster ride has ended in a good place.

 

[Wolf 82]

I'm so happy with this performance, that instead of saying anything, I'm just going to post a picture of me on TV instead to give you all a good laugh.

Which one are you?

 

[Muscat]

Everton haven't been demolished like that much this season either, they've largely been very competitive.

They're a very solid side. Probably played into our hands a bit playing a back 3 but still, wow, what a performance.

 

[SeaWolf]

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.

 

[Jamwolf]

5-1 would have been a fairer reflection of a really good game.
GON has been a miracle worker.

 

[Hawkguy]

Which one are you?

The dog, lol

 

[Ned]

We would be 6th if it wasn’t for VAR!!!!!

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

3 ****ing 0 with 2 disallowed what a day. What a Xmas period. Probably just 7 pts tops from another year at the too table.

And some Pickford saves.

 

[JadeWolf]

Loved that! Battered them second half, better team first half as well. Gazball is here to stay!

 

[Parkfieldswolf]

What a great Christmas period. Well done GON and team.

 

[Redhillwolf]

About as complete a performance as we could wish for! They did it for Super Mario today and boy did they do it for him! Gutted Hwang and Neto’s goals were ruled out because they would have been the icing on the cake but god how good to see Neto back on the pitch! Hardly any sloppy passes and movement up top was incredible! One very happy Wolf!!!

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

A complete performance, really pleasing on the eye and effective in both boxes. Excellent stuff.

Enjoyed pretty much every minute of that. And we were pleasing on the eye. Fluid movement all over the pitch. Comfortable on the ball. It's been a long time since we had such a dominant and comfortable 90 minutes as that (forgetting Brentford 3 days ago!). Should have won that by about 5 or 6 goals. With the bottom 3 all losing there is no fear of relegation this season which considering how things were in Aug/Sep is quite amazing.

 

[Darvo]

I haven’t been able to attend a single game over the holiday period due to family illnesses. Luckily, I managed to watch most of this match...

We were unbelievably good. Some of our tippy tappy passing moves were an absolute joy to behold. Can’t quite get over what I’ve just watched. Very, very impressive.

Take a bow Mr GON and team. Superb.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

We absolutely took them to the cleaners. Could and should have scored more but fantastic defensively, in midfield and attack. I loved the fact that we kept on attacking after every goal and there was no hanging onto a lead or shutting the game down. We took the **** of good old Everton and their asterisk. We have not had as good a Christmas as that in years. 11 points ahead of Nuno's Forest as it stands and 28 points ahead of Lopetegui's backside on the chair while he looks for a better team to manage. UP THE GARY!

[hollo]

Semedo man of the match for me. Looked a 27 million pound player! First to everything and always looking to break.

Tommy Doyle was quality and we should take up the 4 million option. Always available for a pass. Made the correct decisions and hustled. The conductor.

I fact they all had good games. Notable mention to joao Gomes too who won lots of tackles. Brilliant!

 

[Bradstonian]

9 carat gold and black.

 

[Monketron]

Take nothing away from an OUTSTANDING performance by Wolves but I don't think I've seen a team have a more anonymous midfield than Everton did today. Did little to protect their back 3 and nothing going forward either.

 

[Bahama Wolf]

Silky skills, one touch passing, intelligent runs, razor sharp finishing.. and the Bournemouth fans accused GON of playing four football?? We honestly have a future England Manager at the helm.. can we have a nice FA Cup run please Gary!! COYW!!

 

[Wignall 3-0]

Great result and performance. Hope J Gomes is ok. Only 6 days before the FA Cup game. But the lads need a couple of days off. Beat Brentford then off to the sun for a training camp and R&R. Well deserved.

 

[TheStalePolice]

Felt relaxed watching the whole game,. When did that last happen?

Cunha -a class above everyone else on the pitch. but superb performances from Doyle, Gomes, Dawson and Kilman too.

 

[Don Corleone]

Watched the second half on TV as couldn’t be there today unfortunately.
Well played Wolves, could have been more than three. Deserved the win.
28pts reached….lets push on in 24. A couple of additions in attack and for me GK will help no end.
Well done G’ON.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

We would be 6th if it wasn’t for VAR!!!!!

Just seen the table - we are 3 pts off a European spot?! I can't quite believe it. Is this really happening?

Anyone got a link to the Everton forum handy

What a week to be a Wolves fan.

This! Icing on the cake would have been Neto's goal, but that's just me being a greedy pig.

 

[Rhoswolf]

Can't remember a better performance, some stunning one touch football. Every player a10/10 and 11 for GoN. Great way to finish the year and happy New Year to all.

 

[Fifty Niner]

Thought this was class from a proper football fan on the Everton forum. Sometimes you have admit you were well beaten on the day, something one particular Everton fan really struggled with!:

cannot stand Wolves btw, tiny tiny tiny club with as many footballing honours as me. had an opportunity today to unite with our fans and kick off at the PL for the treatment we have both received (them less so). What do they do after 10 minutes? Start signing “same old scousers always cheating”.

I’m fairly sure we’ll still be in this league in ten years time but for that serial lower league outfit i’m not so certain

Talking utter crap you idiot. Founding members of the league, arguably formed European Cup, were the best team pretty much anywhere in the 50's, won the FA Cup 4 times, League Cup twice, League title 3 times and yet you show them so much disrespect.

So what if they sang a song... I remember going to Mol. when they were on their slide down and we most certainly gave them some stick. Now we have just been soundly beaten and this is what you come up with. Accept defeat with grace.


Somehow Gary has got us scoring 7 goals in two games, four of those away from home for this first time in the PL I believe? Great to see us comfortably win another game without having to fret the final 10 minutes.

 

[mcwolf]

O’Neil out

surely you mean P.E. teacher out

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

What a fine afternoon’s viewing that was.

Bossed them from start to finish, it should have been 6 or 7 (not least with 2 offside goals) and we were just so comfortable in everything we did.

Great to see our two centre half’s get on the scorers list and that second goal was seriously good play.

Nice to get Clean Sheet Number 3 of the season too and Sa made a couple of very big stops to make sure of it.

Happy New Year everyone and with us only 5 points from 6th: does anyone fancy a Continental?

Up The Wolves and forever be at peace Mario’s father.

 

[Eastern Wolf]

3 goals, one off the post, two "goals" ruled offside, a clean sheet and the return of Neto.
Brilliant performance from the back to the front. Everyone played well with some exquisite first time passing.
My only gripe is that we didn't score more. We should have.
Wow - more of the same please Wolves!

 

[Asthmatic Wolf]

There was some naughty, naughty football on display at the Mol today. Love it.

 

[Super NES]

Superb performance.

Looked assured at the back apart from a 5 / 10 spell when they initially brought Gomes on. Semedo and RAN both did brilliant in their roles today, being an outlet at all times.

Doyle came in and did a great job - kept it simple when needed, put his foot on the ball to control the tempo and also played some great switch balls out. Started the move for the 2nd with his pass to Sarabia.

But the most pleasing aspect was the front 3. So many times in the past we have been bullied by the likes of Keane, Tarkowski etc. but today we really gave as good as we got. Aggressive but with a purpose - very impressed by all 3.

Special shout to Traore who looked great when he came on, along with Neto of course. Him scoring at the end would have been the icing on the cake.

Well done to GON, his staff and the players today but also for the last week. 3 games in 6 days resulting in 9 points - not even the most optimistic of us would have predicated that.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

O’Neil out

Out on the **** to celebrate?

 

[WolvesAndCows]

The fans deserve to see the team let off the leash after a few years of dullness.

Long may it continue

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Doyle ran the show, but everyone really played well. It was like clock work. Tempo really good again. So happy UP ZE WOLVES
