Spurs 1 King Gary's Wolves 2 - Verdict Thread

[Ned]

I thought we were going to get battered today, so happy to be proven wrong.

We were fantastic to a man today. Special mentions: Joao Gomes, Semedo, RAN and all 3 cb’s.

What a performance!!!!

 

[WolvesinBrum]

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

Brentford are kind of trying to do what we do. Spurs and Chelsea come on to us.

But yes, it's really frustrating!

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

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

You're kidding me, I felt 1-2 to us was a distinct possibility. They press very high and we are arguably the best counter-attacking team in the division with speed and skill.
My main doubt was the injury to Cunha.

 

[Hawkguy]

Outstanding game. So happy with the performance. We only got dominated for about... 10 minutes of gameplay to start the second half (and a couple for the first half) and then it was all us again. Wonderful performance.

Hwang's composure in front of the net definitely needs to be questioned at times, haha. But still a hard worker.

Sarabia and Neto were great.

Gomes unreal. That's my boy.

Dawson was great outside of the Spurs goal.

Semedo also very good.

Sa much better when we don't let him kick the ball as much haha

Wolves are like a box of chocolates, you just don't know what you're going to get.

First of all what a brilliant game of football.

We deserved to win that, think Gary got his tactics bang on.

Gomes will get the plaudits of course but so many candidates for MOTM, Semedo, Toti, Lemina.

We’re a proper, proper team.

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

He's the most overrated coach in the entire world. Anybody can wow and entertain if not interested in managing the entire pitch.

How do you rate this current side v Nuno's team Jade?

 

[old wittonian]

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.

You can only play what's in front of you.

 

[steve vena]

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.

Semedo was brilliant today .

Nuno had better players but this team is much better to watch.

Julian Lopetegui, I thank you for completely underrating the quality of this Wolves squad and standing aside for someone who can get the best out of them.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Okay, I'm sold. Give O'Neil a four year contract, a statue, and a box of Hwang's mum's cookies.

All things considered, with Cunha and the deflating defeat last week, that was our best result of the season. Joao Gomes IS Wolves. He just is. It was going to take something miraculous to replace the legend of Neves, and they're vastly different types of players, but in terms of cult status he is becoming the heartbeat behind Neto's panache and gloss.

I was an O'Neil detractor back in August, and never have I been more happy and humble to be so completely wrong. It's starting to look special again.

Stunning result.

Never, ever, ever free Joao Gomes.

 

[JOSWolf]

I am proud of this team. The football is excellent and all the players bust a gut. We also have some seriously talented players. Credit must go to ONeil and his coaches. What a job they are doing. The way they are playing has certainly given me a big lift during some pretty dark times in recent months. They are a joy to watch.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Some very upset potatoes

Some great reactions there, especially the Korean (assumed) lady after our second. Spurs fans must be absolutely dreading playing us now.

 

[Hawkguy]

What an idiot.

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

If Lopetegui was still here Ait-Nouri wouldn't be and for that I'm glad he ****ed off...

I bet that Korean girl is a bundle of fun.

Good to hear Mate, today was absolutely unbelievable.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

I agree. I didn't think I'd enjoy watching Wolves again so soon after Nuno but what GON is putting together now is really exciting. They are great going forward, compact at the back and have a togetherness which is really wonderful. Can't quite believe it!

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Brilliant

Interesting topic.

Who gets in this team from nuno’s assuming everyone is fit? The obvious choice is Neves but seeing what lemina and Gomes do and the dynamism they bring in this style I’m not so sure. I’d be interested to see everyone’s hybrid team.

Bang on

So right. It’s genuinely exciting watching us these days. Win or lose and it makes going to the games so much more enjoyable.

 

[astraltrader]

As I have long predicted Gomes and Lemina are a fantastic midfield engine for us.
The better the opposition the better we seem to play.
Today's brilliant victory will keep me mega chuffed for the next week.
COYW!!

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

I know I'm old but who are these people? Are they on the net filming themselves watching football? What are we meant to do - watch them , watching football? The ****ing world's gone ****ing bonkers! Who gives a **** what they think? Do we have Wolves fans doing the same thing? FFS.

 

[Urko]

Brilliant performance, this week the players followed the gameplan.

[WickedWolfie]

The GON detractors have gone very quiet. #ifcarlsbergdidpeteachers

I think most of them, just like me, long since repented....

 

[WickedWolfie]

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

Not being arsey but he's from a Portuguese not a Spanish speaking country.... His surname ends with "s" not "z"....

Agree the content.

 

[SA Wolf]

Semedo was brilliant today .

Brilliant is a bit OTT IMHO.

 

[WickedWolfie]

A fantastic team performance again some real stand outs Pedro Neto for the assist and obviously Joao Gomes for the goals but my god how good was Semedo?! Son didn't know what to do against him!

But Semedo is crap, lol...... When he has one bad game the same old rubbish will start again ......

I think they are basically YouTube personalities who do other content during the week, and then film themselves watching the match and chatting with others doing the same (kind of like the comms thread). Then they splice up the best bits for these videos, which serves as advertising for their channel more or less.

But yes, i find it pretty odd as well.

 

[Oldvic161]

Mr O’Neil must be loving his job at the minute, imagine how he’ll feel when he cracks the “playing defensive opponents at home” situation I said a few weeks ago to forget Europe, were a small squad, we won’t cope with injuries and suspensions, happy to be wrong again but let’s not build pressure “expecting” Europe

Much as I love Cunha, you can't not have Neto in there. I'd be tempted to go Saiss instead of Boly as well. But, otherwise, yes.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

One of the highlights for me was the defensive clearance header from Davies at the end.

 

[JadeWolf]

Much as I love Cunha, you can't not have Neto in there. I'd be tempted to go Saiss instead of Boly as well. But, otherwise, yes.

Neto and 19/20 Adama to bring off the bench.
