Olympiakos (H) Slightly Dealyed Match Thread

[Parkins left foot]

We really didn’t.

Whether we deserved to or not - we did

That's all that matters

 

[Premier Quality]

Rui man of the match, he and var kept us in the competion. We really, really need to up our game on Tuesday

This absolutely.

Jota and Traore had stinkers, lets not mince words. They were awful.

Rui had his best game in a Wolves shirt. Saves , handling and kicking all good. Boly was immense . Podence looks the read deal.

That was one tight game. As for XG its going to be higher as we had a penalty and Jota fluffed a one on one but they had three very good efforts very well saved

 

[AndyWolves]

We really didn’t.

The stats say otherwise, they had lots of the ball but we created the better chances.

 

[prawnking]

Us deserving to win or not is irrelevant, its a match day thread, criticising a Wolves player constructively is fine, being worried in a very tense game is fine, praising Rui is fine, being ecstatic we won is fine, thinking we have a very big ask to get through the next game is fine

 

[Alan]

We really didn’t.

Weird, I could have sworn the scoreline said otherwise.

Weird, I could have sworn the scoreline said otherwise.

Don’t be a twat.

Wolves xG 2.28 Olympicaos xG 1.43

We deserved to win

Do you watch the game, or just check the stats at the end?

Yes, Jota has probably managed to fuck up 1.5 xG on his own, but the only reason he had the chances is because we were right under the cosh.

 

[Alan]

Don’t be a twat.

Just pointing out the facts. Rui made the saves he needed to, they missed the other chances, etc etc.

Football isn't a game that rewards the undeserving. You take the chances you get, or you don't.

That’s total bollocks

That’s total bollocks

What, you don't think they left gaps whilst chasing and equaliser late in a knockout game?

I don’t a yank to tell me about football, thanks.

I did watch the game and could see they dominated for a spell of about 20 minutes in the second half and Patricio made some good saves but saves you expect a decent keeper to make.

At this level you aren't going to not have teams dominate possession against you for periods but we did well and organised our selves to limit the effectiveness of the opposition - what Nuno has been doing since he got here.

Losing Jonny was a big blow and swung the game somewhat as we were exposed down our left and Doc wasn't great either but we stuck to task and made it difficult to fashion clear cut openings.

I thought we fashioned a number of clear cut chances ourselves (Boly & Jota) and we're more likely to score from those than anything Olympicaos created

But that's just my view

I watched the game, we created the better chances. We deserved to go through. We will also need to play better to beat Sevilla

 

[The Bear]

Time to close this amongst the arguing the toss.

Off to the verdict thread with you all.
