The OMG what a day Southampton verdict thread

[George AlooGobi]

Cunha might be the target man we want in a year of working in the gym but he's miles off it physically at the moment, Costa and Traore really gave us an outlet and stopped the ball constantly coming back when hit up to them.

Cunha would look better playing off a number 9, I reckon

More effective when we're on the front foot, but not a player to hold it up and give defenders a battle when we're under defensive pressure

Doesn't look much like a goal scorer to me either. Might hit a beauty every now and then but I'd be surprised if he's any better than a 1 in 5 man - I'd love to be wrong about this

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

If you have a boss who’s a Wolves fan, today is the ideal time to ask for a raise….

I've already got one. Footballing Viagra.

 

[so-called fan]

He had an interview on Sky. He looks finished. You could see in his face when we scored our second that he knew he was gone.

Well, let's hope not. Although it shouldn't affect us either way, it would be best to be sure.

 

[Andywolf74]

Huge 3 points and what a composed finish from Gomes. 3 points home to Bournemouth next week and we will really be in a good position. Like all games, not taking anything for granted.
Thought Traore was a menace second half and thank goodness Matheus was subbed.
If Matheus doesn’t make an impression before the end of the season, I think we should get rid along with Guedes. Neither seem suited for the Prem. 3 from Neves, Lemina, Gomes and Bob Traore for me.

[Kashmire Hawker]

2 games and 2 goal contributions from Adama too. It may not what it was in 2019/2020, but it is vital!

 

[Rhoswolf]

That's for you Pete (Goof) hope you enjoyed mate.

 

[wolvesaywe]

Think a Saints fan nailed it with this and demonstrates how good JL really is. Makes the right calls at the right time

The second half was there for us, we needed to come out and stamp our feet all over that game. 10 men, pace in the attack and they had a few players on yellows. But the tactical changes Wolves made at HT totally baffled us, they stuck two in the middle and kept the width - having Traore out wide kept us occupied so we couldn't commit too high, so it was a bold move in that sense. We still had more bodies in the middle, but we just didn't seem to know how to counter those changes.

 

[paxrax]

Gomes.

In tears.

Just like me.

Brilliant

 

[manchesterwolf17]

As a fan, I'm back to having that feeling we had under Nuno where you never give up on a game no matter the circumstances against you.

We were 40/1 before the equalizer.

 

[dewolfman]

Aggressively running towards the referee - honestly.

Even though that idiot of an official is looking the other way while Lemina's "running" towards him

Seriously? Is this a new law? What s big pussy

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Unbelievable

 

[Bostin]

Who’s got a video of that Neves touch and pass. Outrageous.

 

[Fenrir_]

Why was lemina sent off, i still dont get it

Because the ref wanted us down to ten men

It's the most plausible reason you'll be able to come up with

 

[WolvTown]

Can't stop punching the air, wife thinks I've got brain damage!
Six months ago we all would have known this result after 30 minutes, now we humiliated LiVARpool and fought our way back in a very physical match.
Unbelievable result, great team effort, fighting spirit I haven't seen since beating Citeh!
Massive respect to our defence too, held out till halftime so we could reassess and make the changes.
COYW!!!

 

[VancouverWolf]

I know this will come across as a reaction to the second hand but I do think he is a better player than RAN

I dunno……I think they both have their on and off days.

 

[Hanbury_Wolf]

Unbelievable

You can see by the refs face that he's thinking wtf have I done as he's issuing the yellow

 

[Kcrusader]

Absolutely incredible victory and scenes in the away end. Reminds me when we beat Bristol City away with 10 men and Bennett scored in front of the away fans in the final minute! Being sober i thought I’d celebrate the goal differently, how wrong was I lol. Wolves, only Wolves. Come on me babbies!

 

[VancouverWolf]

Must admit, my heart dropped when I saw Costa coming on but he brought some spark up front.

 

[johnnybetchas]

Laughed at this quote from the Saints forum -

What the **** did he say at half time?

"Good half lads, great intensity and imagination. Do you mind playing like you've never kicked a ball before in the 2nd half and if you can defend like France in WWII that'd be grand."

Gonna use the Frog bit myself!

 

[Hanbury_Wolf]

Beat Bournemouth next week and we can breathe. Start to express ourselves. Look up and not down. Could easily be 2 points off villa in the race for top Midlands club

 

[Incognito]

Special mention to Diego Costa. What an impact he had.

Unbelievable

Gillet is usually a tidy ref from what I have seen but he was off it today and some of his decisions were bizarre.
Glad it didn’t cost us points

 

[Incognito]

What was Ward - Prowse doing with 2 short free kicks on edge of box. I was glad he did cos whilst he was stood over them I was ****ting it.

Obviously didn't want to win the game for his boss...

 

[Wolf 82]

We’ve had a small squad for years, but JL is showing what quality off the bench with a larger squad can do.

 

[Ned]

Special mention to Diego Costa. What an impact he had.

Yes!!! Was a pain in the ****, gave the defenders no easy clearances and the ball stopped coming back all the time. Held it up and laid off some lovely passes.

Made such a difference having a focal point at that stage.

 

[Nige100]

Obviously didn't want to win the game for his boss...

If it wasn’t an instruction it has a vibe of that. Bizarre but glad he did what he did.

It was really just the first half. Second half, he was better. It was really like he’d come into the game like a bear with a sore head, and took it out on some of our players.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Sa kept us in the game with that save…..think we all thought it was gonna be another for the Saints

 

[Ned]

It was really just the first half. Second half, he was better. It was really like he’d come into the game like a bear with a sore head, and took it out on some of our players.

It was really strange and awful in equal measures. He genuinely seemed determined to send Lemina off like he had some kind of grudge going in.

 

[Minimalist]

Don’t think we can even appeal a double yellow sending off can we?

Will it be a one match suspension?

 

[Ned]

Don’t think we can even appeal a double yellow sending off can we?

Will it be a one match suspension?

Yea 1 match.

Which, watching Bournemouth now, is a bit of a ******* actually. They’ve got a big, mobile midfield by the look of it.

 

[Incognito]

Took a little flutter at 1 0, for wolves to win at 20/1, that's next seasons ticket sorted .

****ing love you wolves

You Joao Gomez (beauty)!

 

[Wolf316]

As per last week, it was someone’s birthday and we win.

Today, it’s my birthday and we’ve won.

Who’s celebrating when we play Bournemouth?

It’s mine on Thursday if that’s any good?

 

[Supadavewolf]

Don’t think we can even appeal a double yellow sending off can we?

Correct, no appeal against yellow. And yes, 1 match ban.

 

[Bostin]

Yea 1 match.

If only we had a Brazilian tackling machine who’d just scored on his debut to bring in to replace him….

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Yea 1 match.

Ah, but we have Gomes

 

[Fenrir_]

Don’t think we can even appeal a double yellow sending off can we?

Only thing you can appeal for a yellow is mistaken identity I think, which arguably we've got a case in! Because it definitely wasn't Lemina who charged at the ref!

 

[rincewind]

Apparently Lemina was yellow carded for being the 3rd player running to the referee in an aggresive manner! Is that a law? No, me neither.

 

[Ginger Chimp]

It’s mine on Thursday if that’s any good?

I’d have to say not. No point annoying the gods.
