The Wolves 3 Wet Shambles 0 Verdict Thread

[Deleted Cyber]

Jimenez at £30m in September looked too much, in November looked expensive, in December looked ok, at the end of January it looks a no brainer.

shut the internet! Post of the year. Quite right too

Play like that at the Goodison shit-heap and we will win.

oh please god can we! I have nevr seen us control a top flight game more than that. Even the Burnley game where we had 35 shots did have so complete a perfriomance from the team. Cyber dreamland.

 

[Lupo]

After a first half where we started slowly and our passing was somewhat wayward, we grew into the match becoming increasingly dominant against a side who offered absolutely nothing.

The attacking play was excellent in the second half, so much so that Nuno didn't bother with any substitutions until the game was won.

Star performances all over the pitch including the returning Doherty. Just Patricio who had virtually nothing to do all game.

Moutinho was once again imperious in midfield, Jonny was excellent as was Jota but special praise is reserved for Jimenez.

What a player he is! I love him to bits and he seems to be getting better and better. He ran abd chased everything, worked tirelessly, created things and 2 great goals as well particularly his second which I was expecting the excellent Fabianski to stop but no, our hero dinked it over him.

If we had converted more of our chances and got at least one of those penalties (should have), the score would have been much higher but happy with 3 and a clean sheet.

As for that referee, we've had some incompetent clowns down here this season but this one tops the lot, diabolical.

First game ive missed in ages and it sounds like we were at our very best, that midfield combination seems to be growing with each game and I wonder if the Donk doing all the messy stuff is helping Moutinho and Neves to play their natural game.

Bloody delighted, perhaps i should miss more games!!

And sign Raul please even without seeing this game hes awesome and exactly what we need.

 

[Del Woppio]

That was ridiculous. So dominant, so many dangerous attacks, chances, such control. The formation change has really improved us, and I'm delighted for nuno.

Watching it all back again this morning :icon_lol:

We are a bit good, aren't we?

Still buzzing.

Bloody hell, pass the razor blades! Feel quite sorry for the guy really, having to watch that capitulation. Chin up, mate: this was kind of how I was feeling after a couple of our less-than-sparkling performances earlier in the year. I'm loving Gazza the pundit – move over, Jermaine! :icon_lol:

Yes mate, agreed. 6 x games on the spin without a win and a few people were starting to question him. Getting Jota back (and fair play to him for turning his season around after his injury struggles) and tweaking the formation has worked wonders.

Dendoncker coming in to the midfield has made such a difference. He is allowing Moutinho and Neves to flourish where as before, they were both suffering and being overran. Nuno took a few games to get it right but he's got there in the end and now we look unplayable at times.

If we can beat Everton on Saturday, that will be three of our closest rivals (Everton, West Ham, Leicester) despatched in as many weeks. That would be some achievement.

Dendoncker coming in to the midfield has made such a difference.

His link up with Doc is brilliant. As soon as Doc has the ball he is running (in that odd little way he does) towards the penalty area, giving Doc an extra option. The run also drags someone out of midfield and gives Neves the space he needs.

Superb display - some awesome football against a West Ham team who simply couldn't deal with us, and didn't know where the next attack was coming from. It helped that West Ham were fucking dreadful and didn't look like they wanted to be there of course, but let's focus on the positives.

I love what Dendoncker brings to the side. Him, Neves and Moutinho is the best midfield I've ever seen here by a mile. I think that and Jota's return to form has made a world of difference and the chemistry between him and the magnificent Jimenez is a joy to watch.

We more than deserve to be where we are in the table - it's a great time to support the side and I'll say this again - I simply don't get nervous when watching us these days.

I love his running. He's deceptively quick, no idea how such an odd look results in someone even moving let alone sprinting.

I am moving that way!

On The Donk he is the white footballing Michael Johnson equivilent in how he runs

Yeah he runs as though his bootlaces are tied together.

Erm.... you get nervous for weeks before each game because of some bizarre voodoo curse or some such oddity.

I think you've a LONG way to go yet.

Yeah, little links are being formed all over the pitch. Donk/Doc, Jota/Raul, Neves/Moutinho/Donk, the back three... it's a pleasure to watch.

Donk is so much more than I thought, as well. He's really surprised me with how much he is willing to get forward - proper 'box to box'. He could have done a little bit better with his flick last night and he was really unlucky with the disallowed goal (it was probably just offside but he wasn't to know that), but the fact he is getting in to those positions in the first place is brilliant - we've waited for years. He also has no issue going down the channel in to the right which drags a midfielder out of position (as you say) and allows Doc to attack the space inside.

Nuno always talks about "if the RIGHT player comes along" etc - It's safe to say whoever recruited Donk did their research and knew exactly what we were going to get.

I'm fucking loving it.
