Everton 0-1 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[The Bear]

Great result considering the first 30 mins. Fair play to the lineup for doing the business.

[Wilf Wolf]

Only received second hand updates. Donk my MOTM for his generous portions of Humble Pie!

 

[Nando]

Neves was ridiculous in the second half.

Good win and great response to those three dire performances. Still in with a shout.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Played well for 60 minutes and well worth the win.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Sa or Neves MOTM. Fabio did well when he came on. Trincao didn't.

 

[Jabbawolf]

2nd half we always seemed to have a man over - Sa just gets better and better.

Neves was swashbuckling, Jonny is Jonny, and a very neat goal.

Only negative is the rolling around.

 

[YoungWolf]

Superb second half performance. Managed that so well. Very impressive. Podence in that role can be really useful. Neves fantastic as said. Back three really good. Kilman needed that game out for sure. I forgot how much I love Jonny

 

[prawnking]

Honestly didn't expect three points once I saw the line-up, and then after a pretty turgid first half.

Much better second half, great pressing and snapping into tackles, deserved.

Last two games starting to make up for the previous three

 

[Freddeno]

very good second half and last 10 mins of the first, Neves MOTM with Sa close

 

[t3ch]

Honestly didn't expect three points once I saw the line-up, and then after a pretty turgid first half.

Not sure if it was the plan to settle into the game, but either way, fair play to the team really stepping it up after that opening dross

 

[Lycan]

Very professional performance sprinkled with a touch of magic from Rúben Neves who was the best player on the pitch by a country mile.

 

[Sniffer]

Jonny is as good as it gets for a full back/wing back. Everything looks so easy for him. When he came back last season when we were in a mini crisis, the team improved considerably with his presence. He’s fantastic. Him putting McGinn on his arse and setting us on the way to a winner at Villa park is my favourite Jonny moment.

 

[The Bear]

That's 13 games since we last drew. And we've had very few all season.

Neves keeping that suspension off his back too. Three more games for him to survive.

 

[Mel Evo]

Great result, excellent response to the three defeats and really looking forward to Friday night now, should be a big atmosphere.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

MASSIVE three points. Lovely stuff. Very happy. I'm off to laugh at the threads on Grand Old Team. They are going.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Awful for the first 25 minutes, then grew into the last 20 minutes of the half. Totally in control of the 2nd half, made especially comfortable getting the goal early. Neves was utterly magnificent again, Kilman back to his best after a couple of poorer performances, Coady and Moutinho also very good. Podence played well I thought. Jiminez not at his best. Donk worked hard but still just doesn't contribute enough for me.

Another good 3 points, hopefully follow it up with 3 more against a shambolic Leeds on Friday.

 

[White Wolf]

Took our time with a slow start but afterwards we started to play very well, good performance overall especially second-half. Managed the game after taking the lead, thought the forwards did a good job of holding the ball up and easing the pressure once we had the lead. Even a good cameo by Fabio. Neves excellent.

 

[Paul]

Sa or Neves MOTM. Fabio did well when he came on. Trincao didn't.

Yep only won a couple of free kicks in dangerous areas, no goals or assists in the 8 minutes or so he was on the pitch, absolutely scandalous !

 

[The Bion]

Yep scraped it a bit but 2nd half was much improved, even if we didn't create all that much - Podence had one of those games where he kept picking the wrong option which hampered us quite a lot

Neves was sublime when we stepped it up and he was at the heart of a lot of things. Moutinho was out there running around like he had found another 10 years, what a man. Kilman was really good on his return, happy for him as hopefully the rest is what he needed. And Jonny...I must admit I was worried he wouldn't be able to come back the same player but its like he never went away.

Other results haven't gone our way (aside from Spurs losing) but all we can do is the best we can and we'll see how it all shakes out.
