Torino 2 - 3 Wolves (A Thread Title I thought I'd Never Use): The Verdict

[Boozad]

What a night. Not perfect but still fucking unbelievable.

Fire away.

 

[Pablowolf]

Great game, played fine (some better than others).

Traore looks like he's finally learned his role!

If I can get the sound of Michael Brown out of my head, I'll be happy.

 

[PuntsWolf]

You’d have taken it before the night. 3 away goals is massive. 1-3 and I’d see the tie as done, but we’ve still got to be big favourites.

They were much fresher and that showed at the end. They ain’t going to be fresher next week and they’ve got to travel and they won’t have home advantage, which certainly helped them a lot tonight.

They are right dirty bunch though. With us lot shouting at the ref I can’t see them ending the game with 11 (unless it’s Jon Moss).

Looking forward to Thursday already.

Great game. Loads of fun. It's fucking criminal that the vagaries of the draw mean that one of us or this damn decent Torino side are going to miss out.

 

[sycophantia]

What a great game of football, before hand thought it would be a tight, cagey game, I was hoping for 0-1 so got to be happy with 2-3, shame about the pen but its a good result against a top Italian side

Many positives from Traore, but screwed up big time for their first.

Cracking goal by Raul though.

Them and us would be comfortable amongst the pot 1 teams. 1 of us isn’t going to qualify and the other is likely to be pot 3 at best.

I take more issue with Vinagre not tracking the runner. I'd say he's more to blame than Traore there.

None the less, deserved win. Great result!

 

[Monstrum]

Great result, really shitty pen at the end, would ended it as a contest without it, theyre not going to win 3-0 away.
Traore played amazingly well until the fuck up for the first, but still great overall. Moutinho probably mom or maybe boly.
Vinagre was really poor, easily our worst defensive player and offered nothing going forward

 

[Boozad]

Many positives from Traore, but screwed up big time for their first.

Agreed, I was very impressed with him. He had Ansaldi on toast and his set up for Jota's goal was brilliant. Criminal to fuck around with the ball in that area though for their first, he should have let Vallejo get rid.

Thought everybody else played really well, Saiss had a few dodgy moments and Vinagre's balls up was pretty naive but on the whole we looked the far better side. Massive props for Raul for being composed enough to carry on and score a beauty though, great goal.

They don't need to. 2-0 would do it.

 

[Aikiwolf]

Really enjoyable game!

Thought Traore was the better of the two WBs, in fact I thought Vinagre had a really poor game. I was surprised it was Adama to come off instead of Vinagre.

Boly was superb, probably my motm.

Roll on next (Sunday and then) Thursday!

 

[Monstrum]

They don't need to. 2-0 would do it.

2-0 would do it now, would have needed 3-0 if we didnt concede that stupid penalty

 

[Premier Quality]

I take more issue with Vinagre not tracking the runner. I'd say he's more to blame than Traore there.

None the less, deserved win. Great result!

I share blame four ways there, it was a completely defendable goal - Traore gave it away, Vallejo defended poorly and let the cross in, Willy went to the striker and the ball went over him, and Vinagre wasn’t awake at the far post. Any one of them does better and it’s not a goal.

I didn’t see what happened with the second very clearly, it looked like Vinagre had it under control, did it bobble over his foot?

Traore was excellent - was it three of theirs booked for fouling him? Plus getting his head up and picking a pass for Jota - pretty much exactly what everyone’s been saying he can’t do, really pleased with his development so far this season.

Quite gutted it’s only a one goal win after that late goal, but 3-2 is a great first leg score line. Really proud of the lads tonight.

 

[Johnny75]

Enjoyed that. Thought we played well in patches but didn't take care of the ball enough as a whole. That's nitpicking though as it's a great result against a more than useful side.

Raul was outstanding all game as was Coady. He played like a true Italian Libero and stepped forward well when needed. I was impressed with Jesus too, thought his passing into midfield was superb.

 

[Jinky]

Vinagre showed tonight why Nuno doesn’t trust him to start in the Premier League just yet. Very naive defensively (and even though Traore pissed about with the ball and lost it) Vinny let his man run off him at the back post. The penalty was stupid too.

HOWEVER, no more negativity from me. Three goals away at Torino is an unbelievable effort from the boys. Moutinho is an Enigizer rabbit - just keeps going & going & going. Such a valuable player to us. Boly was massive. Jesus did alright tonight, apart from the silly booking. Says a lot that Jota didn’t have his best game but still got on the scoresheet - but says even more that Donk literally sprinted straight over to Adama. Was chuffed for him and summed up how close knit the squad is.

Moutinho MOTM, closely followed by Adama.

 

[Monstrum]

Yeah forgot to mention, coady was flawless today, completely made up for the manu game

Generally or just until Sunday?

 

[Parkins left foot]

If we had been offered this result beforehand we would have taken it gratefully.

At Molineux under the lights & a full house (which it will be) will not be easy to overturn that - & we will score so they need a minimum of 3 goals

We haven't often let that many in

Coming up for the Burnley game but that's now just a sideshow - my signature is looking prescient

 

[PuntsWolf]

Can’t see how both Donk and Moutinho are going to play Sunday. So much running two games in a row. Surely one of them is going to. Neves, Saiss, MGW is a bit “meh”
