Live Match Discussion 2024/25

[Lycan]

I thought he was already halfway down and deliberately hung his leg back looking for contact personally.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Just watched it and looks like he treads on Mitoma. So no pen for me

 

[jd1981]

Just not enough contact for a penalty to be given, I can see the overall view point of not re-reffing games but I thinks it the right call.

 

[Jack Regan]

Bizarre substitution by Nuno taking off your second best penalty taker, two minutes before the game goes to penalties.

 

[Sniffer]

Cracking save by Sels on the blasted penalty.

 

[Kenny]

Nuno back at Wembley then.

Equal parts delighted for him and fucked off its happened.

 

[jd1981]

You know you’re having a great season when you win 3 shootouts on the spin. Verbruggen was crap on the penalties should’ve kept Yeates out at least.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nuno back at Wembley then.

Equal parts delighted for him and fucked off its happened.

Was getting pelters in the studio for the team he picked (although I get it here with them going for the CL, no excuse for what he did with us vs Southampton in 2021)

Hope he beats Villa in the semi-final

 

[Squeak]

It was a pen for me... no way he steps on the defender and no way he puts his leg out waiting for contact in the time it took. Happy for Nuno. Shame he has MGW still being a dick. Remarkable season for them indeed.

Preston Shirley!

I'm not a Nuno hater, I wouldn't have sacked him, but he chucked the cup in his final season with us for absolutely no reason and tonight his best keeper won him the game, whilst he didn't play ours in the semi who arguably would have made a difference. Call me indifferent

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Always think that's overplayed with Ruddy at Wembley.

The bigger error was taking Jota and to a lesser extent Neves off.

 

[jd1981]

I know it’s old ground but Nuno pulling up trees elsewhere just sticks more a knife into Fosun and the social media clowns who called for his head.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Fosun don't care as long as we're in the PL, and if and when we go down they can now claim it's so far removed from him going (will be minimum six years unless something incredibly strange happens in the next 7-8 weeks) that it's not a factor

Our idiots are just idiots, we've always had them, social media just amplifies them

 

[Squeak]

Easy to say that now but for all intents and purposes, Nuno was running out of steam as opposition coaches worked out how we played and then the steamroller that came along was covid and that took a lot out of him. Still love the man for what he did for our club and the people of Wolverhampton. And I'd be very happy if he came back one day.

Agree with the last sentence and also think he's not to blame for their first like some do, for the third he has to come out. At that stage penalties was best case scenario though

Old old old ground but a) we were 6th after 10 games when Raul got injured (only 4 points off the top of the league) and b) if you decide his race is run then that is your prerogative and I kind of get it to an extent, but the replacement was an absolute fucking disgrace and made us look completely unserious as a football club

Don’t think he ran out of steam or was worked out, doesn’t take coaches 3 seasons to negate your tactics.
He just needed a break, remember it was just over a month from the Seville game to the Sheff Utd game so virtually had no time to recover.
The fact no extenuating circumstances were taken into account is also baffling. The squad needed a freshen up far more than the coaching staff did.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Rui saves Deeneys pen.

Yep very old ground but if in May 2021 you put Nuno CV next to Lage’s and think yep I’ll go with the latter then I’m not sure it is you’re looking for.
