*** City vs Wolves *** official match thread

[iwasthere2012]

Don't know if it gets a serious mention in here but Kevin Friend needs to be put down! All sorts of bad decisions and no decisions but the 2 occasions where they ended with 1 on 1's with Bravo after Mangala was fouled were scandalous. The first wasn't so obvious but the 2nd was such a blatany foul I was amazed he said play on.

Overall a poor performance by us. Zinchenko can play clearly but from an attacking point on view he seemed to seriously lack confidence or does he just lack quality? Probably better than Sane defensively when asked to defend but so limited in making things happen when in decent positions.

Yaya was functional but so clearly not the Yaya we know and love. Gundo pretty good but I fear the groin injury he seemed to have picked up willl be a problem. Aguero just had one of those nights. Could have scored a few but never looked like he would score tonight for me.

Delighted to get through this one.

with all due respect that You, Sir, have earned through long years in the hearts and souls of any decent Blue, particularly those living farther than 100 miles off Carrington.... I must say I find extremely selective the choice of the adjective "serious", there.
Please take it as the greatest of the many compliments I have expressed to You, throughout eight years.
It comes, in fact, from someone who have earned a fat living, over almost three decades, exclusively by careful use of selected words.

PROVIDING THAT IS THE PARIAH THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPRESSED REMARKS TO KEVIN KUND... IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN SERIOUS!

all I can add is that, I should need to take a long breath before dealing seriously, once and forever, with the issue of half a dozen of lifeless, never grown, bitter, sociopaths.
I will surely start by consulting Bob privately, seeking for advice and leadership: most surely the creator of the greatest City place on earth, deserves the utmost respect since the way I use to judge people is by the quality of what they have produced.

ever since so adamant is that, if someone is convinced that I will retire, for the fourth time, for the sake of avoiding a meltdown on this beloved place.... those someone are seriously deluded.

I shall not allow a clique of disturbed few bullies, to establish their ultimative power to arbitrarily decide who is Blue enough to be accepted!
This time, THE FOURTH, the Pariah will not be bullied off.
Yet again, I have rarely started anything, never for free, but I tend to see off anything and anyone which has started something against me.

Such deluded bunch have untill the end of my peak season to grow adult and respectful enough: by new year I'll have all the time totally focused on the most convincing reaction to their bullishness.
Barring, of course, a civilizing intervention of the Leadership.

????? Are those words in the right order?

Made me laugh.

Early days I know, but I am still to be convinced Bernado is the real deal, and going to be the natural successor to David Silva, he just seems to be one of those players that looks for the nice easy passes all the time.

that's the main thing for me and the reason ive slagged him off in match threads. he doesnt look to have the speed of thought required for our 1-touch pass and move stuff. not to mention, wtf happened to that amazing close control/dribbling we thought we were buying?? loses possession a lot. maybe he will grow into the role and make me look bad. hope so.

Don't think he'd ever make the absolute first XI unless people are injured. But, a little bit like Gundogan, he's one of those people that can potentially run through and unlock defences, either by himself or by a quick one-two. We are building up a few players like that whereas once upon a time it was only Nasri - who was obviously a bit hit and miss!

I wouldn’t write him off so quickly.
The lad works very hard off the ball unlike Nasri.
He is undoubtedly skilful but he wouldn’t be the first to have s slow start in the PL.

For reference look how shit Bravo was last season and yet he pulled one out of the bag for us last night.

I guess food must be really cheap in Italy.

I'll try to spare my busy schedule this moment in year and arrange a documented comparison of our respective contribution to the Commonwealth of United Kingdom, only I'd suggest.

Despite all Your efforts to show otherwise, I stay confident of being a humble enough cunt and shall never will to embarass a Person who admire that much, as it would result by an overall comparison of our global taxpaying.

please advance suggested date and fair place to attend.

Media and those 2 fucking spastic commentators were jisming themselves for us to lose last night - the commentators box would have looked like a firework went off in a tin of white paint had wolves won .

Well we won - no matter how , we won .

and please, also don't forget to stress the point of how much more comfortably we had won IF that little despicable farce of human being, Kevin Kund, had simply enforced to most blatant offences to the football rules!

yesterday it was kinda like gettin the time machine, back to the disgraceful officiating of the league home game vs dippers. the milner unsanctioned pulling down on the goal line and all that bent crap.

clueless at time? maybe, but everyone should be aware now of how much application Pep's system requires.
they were an almost all new shift of personnel, playing together the first time, PLUS Yaya's retired legs and the mongol.
what some people expected???

[South Stand Balti]

Wonder how many injuries that earned us.

Onwards and upwards. Sat will be a repeat so Jesus better have his shooting boots on.

Well Gundo definitely picked up an injury and I'm pretty sure Danilo was suffering with some sort of strain. I usually want us to stay in all the comps but given our lack of cover at the back and for Fern, I'm not sure now.

[Sideshow Bob]

gundogan said he was fine.

[South Stand Balti]

gundogan said he was fine.

Did he say that today? Pep said he had a problem and they would do tests to see if it is serious, but he said that last night?

[Justified logic]

Apropos nothing, the Telegraph in their team listing had him as Gundongen, a name that only seems to appear in the fantasy signings of red-top team fans.

"After the Wolves win, Gundogan turned to Instagram to post an update. Gundogan initially failed to discuss his health after the game. But after users quizzed him about how he’s feeling, Gundogan told his followers: “I’m well thanks. It’s only been a long game.”

Thank goodness for ESPN3 here replaying games online as I was able to watch the entire thing last night as my usual source didn't have it.

I'm not going to read too much into it as we made so many changes, and Wolves also deserve credit for their own performance with some wild last ditch defending that kept us from scoring, and taking advantage of our weakened, backup defence which is a much bigger step down compared to the rest of our squad.

Mangala deserves criticism, sorry, although I can maybe recall a few good things he did, but the mistakes were more of the same issue we've seen time and again, reminding us as to why he is, unfortunately, not at our level.

Nice to see Bravo do the Willy thing for us again and perhaps raise his confidence level which I am gathering could use a boost.

I thought Sterling was very good and seemed to ooze confidence. Gundogan also impressed, but Zinchenko stood out otherwise as a possible option for us at left wing back with some nice movement, touches and crosses.

[Dimples]

Pep is improving players and also changing roles for some, for ex, Sterling, Delph, Brown and Stones.

I would give Bernardo a season working with Pep before making a call on how good he may be.

Hey man,
dont forget to ask uncle pariah when it comes to games recording. rarely run short.

So they are now saying we made one too many subs in extra time and wolves are looking for the tie to be replayed. Arsenal the same Norwich.
Hopefully nothing will come of it, the 4 match officials all allowed it and wolves were not aware of any problem till Norwich brought it up against Arsenal

Only Scumbag gutter press are trying to make something out of nothing, just trying to get clicks. Articles like this should get them banned from the club press conferences for being downright ignorant of rules.

agree - stupid fuckers

[dazby]

Didn't watch the game. What was the issue with not scoring? Was the supply bad? Did Jesus and Kun have shockers?

as WW said above, mate
here's a perfect post to help You out and have a just laugh at the pathetic spin of it.

And now some turgid headlines about being kicked out of the Caribou Cup for putting two subs out in extra time according to the Express http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football ... -Wolves-CC and the Sun https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football ... titutions/ - although it seems that (a) the rules don't say you are only allowed one additional sub in extra time excluding any other subs you haven't yet made; and (b) there are a host of other clubs in earlier rounds who subbed more than one player during extra time without punishment
