Spurs 1 King Gary's Wolves 2 - Verdict Thread

[Black Country Wanderer]

If ever a team was more suited to us i have yet to see it
Wide open at the back and lightweight in the middle
We played it perfectly on the counter and tbh we should have had 4
Hwang and Bellegarde should have scored easily i think had Sarabia scored it was offside
Thank god they missed that last minute chance because we fully deserved that win

 

[dewolfman]

Some of our players are outstanding, top class shizzle on show today.

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

That’s was a full strength Spurs we just completed the double over. Could have been four again.

UTW

Errrrrr, not quite. Spurs rely on Porro and Udogie to make their system work. Dont want to take anything away from a brilliant Wolves performance but they missed those two today.

 

[SWest Wolf]

The best counter attacking team in the league?

We’re no much more than that, but when we break it’s devastating

I watched a stream, and the commentators were raving about our counterattack for our second….stating that it was top, top, top counterattacking football.

 

[loppers86]

Just who are these detractors? Can you put a few names on the thread?

many people were sceptical (me included). it’s not possible to still
be a detractor.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Was sure all week we’d lose today so this victory is even sweeter than normal.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Another season, another win at Spurs. Great stuff.

 

[WW1963]

Some very upset potatoes

 

[Skrilla]

Errrrrr, not quite. Spurs rely on Porro and Udogie to make their system work. Dont want to take anything away from a brilliant Wolves performance but they missed those two today.

Absolutely. We're also missing arguably our best player though!

 

[waltononthehillwolf]

Had a small bet on us to win - always confident...

 

[Surrey Wolf]

Outstanding stuff again

 

[SWest Wolf]

Oh, and I loved our fans with their Anthony Taylor song. I heard it loud and clear

 

[Olivergoldblack]

Classic counter attacking performance Gomez took his goals well had a great game. No one had a bad game. Front line and wingbacks all caused problems. Hwang not too many chances, but made a lot of good runs and played in others.
Dawson had a good game too, defense looks so much more solid when he has a good game

Well done all great result

Yeah hwang pretty quiet today. Everyone else superb

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Wonderful result

 

[Rhoswolf]

Fantastic team performance, how wrong was I about GON , as good or better than anything under Nuno.

 

[JamesWolves]

Errrrrr, not quite. Spurs rely on Porro and Udogie to make their system work. Dont want to take anything away from a brilliant Wolves performance but they missed those two today.

And thats their problem, Ange doesnt seem to know how to change said system to work in his favour when they're out

 

[SA Wolf]

1-2 flattered Spuds. We should have scored more. We were wasteful and some of our decision making was poor, but at the end of the day, we won, doing the double over Spuds to go with doubles over Everton and Chelsea.
Delighted for Joao and thought the back line was great. Semedo a little below his best of the last few matches, but he was up against Son for the most part. Hwang was rusty, Sarabia and Neto wasted some good chances, but the best midfielder player on the park by a country mile was Joao Gomes. Take a bow, son.
We never score from corners, but today got two.

 

[Minimalist]

Where did Doc play when he came on?

 

[Frank Lincoln]

I did predict a win, though I went for 3 - 1. My apologies.

Well played Wolves.

 

[Willywolf]

This is the Wolves way - underperform and lose to average or **** teams, but play brilliantly against teams that are expected to beat us.
Superb performance across the pitch today. MOTM obvious choice is Gomes, but Semedo and Ait Nouri deserve huge amounts of credit too.
Conceding so many only becomes an issue when we stop scoring.
We really need to follow this up with a dominant and professional victory over SUFC rather than be charitable as is normally the way with us.

 

[Incognito]

Didn't watch it but from reading the posts, sounds like a well deserved win. We get our home form back on the rails and there won't be anything to stop us marching all the way into Europe and, who knows, back to Wembley! Well done the old gold n black, erm red, army!

 

[Aurum Lupus]

Tottenham's new stadium is a very happy hunting ground for us. Had some brilliant away days there.

My Spurs mate messaged me at the end saying we're fast becoming their bogey team!

 

[Wolf in the Lions' Den]

Son is world class. Except when he’s playing Wolves.

We need more players like that rather than our usual reverse jinx!

 

[wallace]

Spurs style was made for GONs raiders with their high defensive tactic against our scorchingly quick forwards. Throughout the game our defenders crowded them out or blocked their moves along with Lamina and gomes piling in, joao even having the energy to score the goals.
Absolutely magnificent from them all.

 

[Dingle Chris]

Absolutely brilliant, feared the worst and should have know better,

 

[Jefe]

The GON detractors have gone very quiet. #ifcarlsbergdidpeteachers

This kind of thing is just divisive at this point.

 

[Middlesex Mixer]

I guess the large Korean contingent of supporters from both side would have felt a bit underwhelmed

 

[wolvesaywe]

What the infamous "Should Gary O'Neil be sacked" poll demonstrated was 98% of people on here know a hell of a lot less about football than they think they do

 

[The Clock]

Tbf and give him his due, Sarabia was no weak link today.
Well done to him. I thought it was his best game yet

 

[oldgolded]

The best counter attacking team in the league?

We’re no much more than that, but when we break it’s devastating

And imagine what we would be like if we had a top class striker.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

I don’t know whether it’s luck or judgment, I suspect a bit of both, but there is just something so fundamentally likeable running right the way through our team and management at the minute.

It’s like the perfect side we needed after the relative slog and stagnation of the last couple of years.

The acid test is now next week, win that and that table is going to look proper tasty.

Superb stuff.

 

[WolvesinBrum]

Absolutely fantastic all over the pitch. We had one lapse and got punished for it, but we are bloody lethal on the counter. Amazing performance and result. Top, top drawer stuff.

Was messaging a Spurs-supporting pal throughout. Sharing bits about our teams.

I said we are lethal on the break and we're really an awkward fixture for teams looking to dominate at home at the moment.

I think the Chelsea result was no reflection on Poch and today nothing to do with Spurs being Spursey about the top 4.

We're just brilliant on the counter.

I counted that Neto, Cunha and Hwang have only started together 6 times this season.

I really thought we'd struggle on the counter without Cunha as he seems to be the golden thread.

Fair play to Gary - he makes it work with who is available! Apart from Fabio and Sasa!

 

[Berkshire Wolf]

Unbelievable save from Sa from Kululeftfoot just outside the box at 1-1, huge moment, never looked like conceding after that and we were always gonna get chances on the counter

 

[mcwolf]

what a win from the team .. gomes gave an epic performance......P.S . Match Of The Day starts at 10.30 pm

 

[WolvesinBrum]

We are bang mid-table (10-5-10), almost probably going nowhere in the league but massively entertaining and just the most awkward opponent if you're looking to play on the front foot you could imagine.

We'll obviously lose to Bournmouth at home, beat Man City away, goalless v Forest etc etc.!

 

[dewolfman]

We’re too good at times,

And imagine what we would be like if we had a top class striker.

we do have one, channy.

 

[RosehillWolf]

I think Semedo was absolutely outstanding. As was Lemina. As was Neto. The two goals ensure Gomes was MOTM. The other monumental performance was by the manager. Tactics and subs bang on.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Beat Spurs three times on the trot for the first time in our entire history.

How TF do we pretty comfortably beat both Spurs and Chelsea away and lose at home to Brentford?

 

[steve vena]

Magnificent. X

When are we on. 5 minutes from the end.
