Manchester City v Wolves comms thread.

[Perton Wolf]

This is all set up for a thumping City win as they need to close down goal difference with Arsenal. Soft penalties, red cards galore. Its fixed.

We've been ****. Gave them the second and third goal. City haven't even had to try. Legit complaints about the first one with the decision but the way we've setup is farcical. No idea what GON was thinking.

 

[Contrarian]

Why even bother with VAR? As soon as a City player falls over, we all know they will get the decision. VAR still a waste of time.

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

All I can hope for is someone to break haalands legs, then drop the nut on the ref when sent off.

 

[moseleyite]

Man City fans... oh yay we score again... zzzzzzzzz

Yeah, it must be so dull watching exciting, high-scoring, fast-paced football and winning loads of trophies. I'm pretty sure it doesn't become boring.

 

[RosehillWolf]

Defensively we haven’t been too bad but playing with zero attack and zero midfield just means more pressure.

 

[wolfslair]

I'm glad it wasn't but that was a red too, last defender preventing a clear goalscoring opportunity

If he made a slide tackle then he would likely have been sent off.

There is some stupid wording about the way the tackle is made or intent, then it falls into double jeopardy to save them from a red.

 

[WickedWolfie]

This has been a stinker from GON, we've been extremely open and played ourselves into trouble which has already cost us a goal.

This is City away....talk about beating yourselves. City haven't had to work particularly hard for any of their goals/opportunities. No disgrace to lose but we've beat ourselves this half.

He obviously found Lage's old playbook.... It worked so well for him, lol.....

 

[RutlandWolf]

I'd like to think if I was supporting such a dominant team every game... I'd be board stiff and lose interest.

Er...no.

 

[Skrilla]

Really poor today. So sloppy giving the ball away constantly in dangerous areas. I genuinely thought we'd play with a bit of freedom today and give them a run for their money, so it's a bit disappointing.

 

[Contrarian]

Can we acquire some players who can pass? We are going nowhere in this league while we remain abysmal at passing as this team are.

 

[maws]

Get Kilman off….. he’s jogging back as Haaland is sprinting, as captain that’s disgusting get him off now

 

[Fifty Niner]

Hopefully City ease up second half so it won’t be six, not that they’ve had to work too hard to be three up. A dodgy pen, giving the ball away and another legit pen.

 

[Willenhall wanderer]

Why play a back four away at Man City totally got it wrong today has Gary

 

[Wonder Boyo]

I'm glad it wasn't but that was a red too, last defender preventing a clear goalscoring opportunity

Not a red or a yellow (due to double jeopardy) as Semedo was trying to play the ball.

 

[RosehillWolf]

Why are they playing 6 mins extra when 4 added ?

 

[OLDGOLD]

That's me done for the afternoon. I don't mind the losing to a good side, it's the commentators tongues up City's **** I am fed up with

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

Man City away is such a **** game you just know what is going to happen everytime..

 

[Zakalwe]

City player just grabbed Hwang by both shoulders and threw him to the ground.

Play on, says Pawson.

 

[Saltyjim]

So VAR can over rule out a non penalty that was a penalty for them but not a non penalty given?

The “high bar” is adjustable.

 

[Willywolf]

Ref cannot wait to give city free kicks etc

 

[Fifty Niner]

Get Kilman off….. he’s jogging back as Haaland is sprinting, as captain that’s disgusting get him off now

Beach mode? Same during Lopetegui’s last few games although this is Citeh.

 

[Zakalwe]

That's me done for the afternoon. I don't mind the losing to a good side, it's the commentators tongues up City's **** I am fed up with

I have it on mute. The love-in on NBC in the US started in minute one. Now it's so much worse.

 

[Big Mack]

Ref playing extra extra time to see if City can get another

 

[SingleMalt]

This is all set up for a thumping City win as they need to close down goal difference with Arsenal. Soft penalties, red cards galore. Its fixed.

The big hole in that theory is that we’re quite simply ****e and don’t deserve anything other than a hiding here.

 

[Spellbinder]

HT 3-0

 

[WolvesAndCows]

What’s the iPad doing?

Overheating

 

[Contrarian]

More of a penalty than the first one.

But still probably not enough to have been given up the other end to a non-Sky 6 team.

 

[SA Wolf]

Hopefully City ease up second half so it won’t be six, not that they’ve had to work too hard to be three up. A dodgy pen, giving the ball away and another legit pen.

They won't ease up as their GD is worse than Arsenal's. They'll be looking for as many as possible.

 

[Timberwolf]

I feel bad for the travelling support. GON has **** his pants on this one and produced a disjointed, dysfunctional, disaster of a performance.
I’ve seen Luton, Forest, Bournemouth, ****, even Sheff Utd had a go.
Cowardice! Pure and simple.

 

[thommo1984]

Embarrassing performance, City or not.

Can’t understand GON’s thinking here.

 

[Matt]

We have been absolutely crap, as expected.

The first pen is a disgrace though, it’s just not right.

 

[moseleyite]

If he made a slide tackle then he would likely have been sent off.

There is some stupid wording about the way the tackle is made or intent, then it falls into double jeopardy to save them from a red.

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct

IFAB Laws of the Game

www.thefa.com

DENYING A GOAL OR AN OBVIOUS GOAL-SCORING OPPORTUNITY (DOGSO)

Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.), the offending player must be sent off.


As highlighted above

 

[RosehillWolf]

Blows his whistle now there’s no chance of city scoring. ****

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

We've given them all 3 goals, refereeing aside, we've been ****. This has been so, so naive.

What is the plan in playing out from the back??

Are they mad?

Insanity

 

[Kingswood Wolf]

When's the last game anyone thought 'Gary's nailed this'? Chelsea away?

 

[Kebab Warrior]

We’re now a fast transitions team who seemingly can’t win transitions. That’s a problem.

We also are the worst in the entire league for losing transitions near our own goal and conceding chances.

Add the two together and the Gaz love in may be short lived.

 

[North West Wanderer]

Amazed he didnt give that as a pen first time round. That's the issue with VAR. Why wasn't Semedo sent off?

We've been battered. ****ing awful

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Blows his whistle now there’s no chance of city scoring. ****

It’s so true you have to laugh. Insane

 

[Adrian_Monk]

If we can keep this under 4 it will be a very successful second half

 

[Fenrir_]

We have now conceded the most goals in a PL season under Fosun, one more and we've conceded more than we did in their first season in the Championship
