Is Mario Lenina now officially the scariest and angriest thing to ever run on a pitch?

[Kashmire Hawker]

Another really tidy performance tonight and no booking too.

 

[OLDGOLD]

I love Super Mario, he is the no nonsense **** housery master we have needed in midfield for years.

 

[WestChiltingtonwolf]

Very very good player. Some very strange fouls given against him in my opinion. He lets the rest of our midfield play.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Palinha no second yellow for exactly the same thing .

Farce

 

[djmikeydickens]

Great signing so far. Runs, tackles and keeps the ball well

 

[JOSWolf]

Looks a brilliant signing so far.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

The engine room. Every ship needs one!

 

[S G Wolves]

Got a great ovation at the end.

I thought he might be our most important signing in January. Makes a big difference to our midfield. Excellent so far.

 

[TheConcourse]

That run in the closing stages was outstanding. Doesn’t stop running!

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Should have had a go!

 

[Peszkywolf]

He's a lot better on the ball than I expected, or read about. Does a lot of what we brought Nunes in to do, turns, looks up and drives through midfield.
Thought he'd be past it tbh or sit on the bench.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

He's obviously been bought to replace Neves next season he was superb last night.

 

[Chriswwfc]

Class player but lucky he weren’t sent off yesterday for shaking his head at the ref.

Bunch of ****ing ****s.

 

[WalsallWolf]

He should have carried on with that run at the end.

I think he is naturally a much more forward thinking, technically minded player we give him credit for.

The Neves/Lemina conundrum of who sits deep and let's the other go forward, is a bit of a inconvenient problem imo.

 

[waveney wolf]

Beast??? He turned his back on the Fulham players shot In case the ball hit him ,, and the shot went in . .face up to it ,and stick a leg out.
That's not being a beast , it's being a Coady.
However, very good player , him and Dawson

 

[Wolf316]

Super Mario super signing!

 

[Beijing Wolf]

Signing Lemina has allowed Neves to push further forward which has improved us massively.

Very good signing.

 

[Matt]

His runs forward are really good too. Can take it past players with pace through the middle. Really like him. Great signing.

I was very concerned about the aggressive style of that run. Was expecting a red.

There he is, turning a positive in to a negative. Good old Waveney Wolf!

 

[Evthewolf]

He has the knack of being in the right position to challenge for the ball and he makes winning it look easy because he reads the game so well.

Something that has been a bugbear of mine for ages, is the amount of our players that give away needless fouls because they approach the tackle, all wrong. I appreciate it’s not every player’s forte but for the times it is actually beneficial, some of ours may as well not bother.

For me, Lemina is an imposing figure. He stands out and looks like an ideal candidate for the captaincy, if Neves does leave.

Absolutely love the way this guy goes about his business, Gives us some grit and fight that has been missing, for what seems like forever.

Nah...I'm stating a fact .
Did he turn his back on the ball and allow the shot past him or not???

Didn't you know Neves left last season

 

[reanswolf]

Fantastic player, reminds so much me of Donk, doing all the dirty stuff no one including the opposition notices, and marking space.

Does a few extra things barely worth mentioning too, like tackling the opposition, making passes, and surging forward with the ball.

Add Gomes next season and we will have some serious bite in midfield.

And the season before that.

Have to disagree a bit here Ryan's. I rated Donk more than many on here, but I never thought he did that much of the dirty stuff. A lot of running and jockeying maybe, but Mario is different gravy in terms of sticking his foot in.

 

[OLDGOLD]

And the season before that.

Twice.

 

[Beijing Wolf]

Add Gomes next season and we will have some serious bite in midfield.

Don’t forget we also have Bouba Traore coming back as well!

So nothing like Donk really..

 

[Woburn Wolf]

True but do not forget Gomes’ nickname “Pitbull”

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

If like to see Lemina Neves and Gomes together

 

[Wolf in the Lions' Den]

Funnily enough, it has...

No. Having seen Ted Lasso, my vote goes to Roy Kent.

 

[steve vena]

Way better than Donk.

 

[reanswolf]

Yes that's exactly what I meant really.

I really struggle with people having the strong opinion that he was good for us in the past year or two. Entitled to an opinion of course you are, and he was pretty good early on for us, but just what were people defending him in recent seasons actually watching? Baffles me to this day.

Lemina (at present) is everything Donk wasn't. I hope it continues because it is such an important position. He was superb at Fulham.

 

[Keith maniac]

I think that he might have shouted something at the ref as he was running back to the edge of our box, then the ref carded him as he came running over after the move broke down. The ref should have made it clear why he sent him off.

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

Nah...I'm stating a fact .
Did he turn his back on the ball and allow the shot past him or not???

To me it looks like he's wrongly anticipated a shot in the space he closed down, overrunning the attacker leaving a gap to curl one around his body.

Twisting his body towards the ball was a futile attempt at getting something on it, with no standing leg at the point of the shot, sticking a leg out isn't easy particularly when considering his direction of travel.

Sometimes you have to accept the opposition have scored a very good goal and maybe no one is at fault.
