obelisk Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Wolves don't seem to be aware that modern "proper" hipster football requires them to get to the halfway line, stop and pass back in order to retain possession rather than to break quickly, fire in a quick cross and plonk the ball in the opponent's net. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingeletiss Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Man city had one of those shot thingies, from outside the area, and scored. Didn’t think you were allowed to do that with this possession based football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have had a penalty and a red card shown to Ayew yesterday for pulling Tall Paul's shirt for that length of time, but nothing. The ref couldn't get his red card out fast enough for Fraser doing the same thing but for a shorter time. As if that wasn't bad enough, bloody Ayew, who should have gone off, scores the winner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfield_General Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 (edited) Re Wolves - linesman gave it offside too even before the VAR told the ref to look at it. Ref overruled both to give it but even though he went to the screen he gave it so quickly I’m not even sure they showed him the bit beforehand where Silva backed into the keeper. I thought Wolves looked like they should have had a direct free kick on the edge of City’s box before City went up the other end to win the corners that led to the goal too.

Contact with the keeper happened before the header. Bit of a grey area this one. I can see why it was given, I can also see why it could have been reversed.

I can see why it was given, I can also see why it could have been reversed. Yeah, only a second or two beforehand though, and by backing in and making him shove him off him he was giving the keeper something other to deal with rather than just focusing on the cross that was about to come in. Not clear cut by any means, but you have to wonder whether that would have stood if it was the other way around with a Wolves player backing into Ederson then ducking out of the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was out the way by the time the header came in but he has to be interfering with play and was offside when he did it. If he hadn’t touched the keeper I would agree with letting it go. Prepared to bet a LOT of money that if the roles were reversed that goal would’ve been chalked off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in an offside position when the header was made, but the backing in had been done by then. My instinct would be to disallow it, but as I said earlier, I can see both sides of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 VAR is really brilliant isn't it. The tension it's added to the Liverpool v Chelsea game is wonderful. Also the celebration when the goal was awarded at Molyneux was incredible. Anyone who doesn't like VAR isn't a true TV subscription paying soccerball fan.

Sunglasses Ron Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 1 hour ago, SW5 SAINT said: Anyway, we’re off the bottom…..! I see a lot of people suggesting that we might "beat" Derby's record low points tally of 11. I wonder what the chances are of us doing it, but Wolves doing even worse? I guess it will ultimately come down to the head-to-heads though, if either do the double then the other could be in major trouble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had a pretty tricky (compared to us) set of opening fixtures, and I genuinely believe they will get themselves out of the bottom three before too long - playing us will help in that respect! In no way are they as bad as we are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Saturday 9th November may be the date he is looking for, They have had a tough start and one of my work colleagues who played for their academy when younger and follows them says they're playing OK and scoring goals so he's not concerned yet. But we'll have TP and Archer starting and will give them a shock on 9th November.

Dark Munster Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 5 hours ago, John Boy Saint said: No score yet - but Villa in the Champions League are once again very easy on the eye. They won 2-0 and are top of their CL group. Emery is a superb manager. When we and Villa were struggling near the bottom a couple of years ago they hired him, and Rasmus the self-professed genius hired Mad Nate. I'm not saying we would've been able to attract Emery, but what a contrast in the way both clubs have been run since then. 🙁 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
