Match Thread Wolves v Leicester

[FOX Franks]

Nice to see Vardy on the bench supping a bovril though. Knew he’d be a football bovril-er

 

[Mystery benefactor]

Is Billy Shitpants playing?

 

[Graz]

This isn't going to be a pretty game is it?

Pretty much a flat back 5 from Wolves early on. Very, very deep.

I think having Nacho in this situation is actually good because he gives us more physical presence up front. Need the front 4 to link up very well to create something, because I think Wolves in this system will be very hard to break down

 

[FOX Franks]

oh look, we nearly conceded from a completely toothless corner. Sigh

Stringer is the world’s greatest football commentator. Did anyone else see Adama Traore’s biceps glistening? I didn’t, but because of Stringer I feel like I did.

Why the **** are you listening to that complete ****?

 

[glyn]

Brendan having “challenged Harvey Barnes to increase his numbers” and “football in the blood, his dad use to be a striker too” also hardy perennials these days for a City match commentary

 

[homer]

****ing hell, that’s shit from Evans

 

[popillius]

**** is Evans doing there?!

 

[Brown Nose]

I don't like this start at all. Wolves playing a very deep 5-4-1 and just want to stop us when we get into the final third. They back themselves on the break and with set pieces.

So far, we've shown no intelligence to upset them and are just passing it around in front of them - and losing it now and again so they can make those breaks.

This game is all about the first goal and, so far, I think Wolves look the likely ones to get it.

 

[popillius]

**** sake Nacho, shooting from there mate is mental.

 

[Graz]

Hamza has started well defensively. Staying calm and looks like he's just been told to keep things simple.

First goal is going to be massive here because they are defending very deep and are a solid side. We need to avoid any silly mistakes.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Why the **** are you listening to that complete ****?

Have you seen how much Sky Sports costs? They can **** right off.

 

[popillius]

Brilliant from Barnes and Maddison. So unlucky.

 

[Skitzo]

why did Madders stop then Perez was always going to look for the lay off

 

[Graz]

Good chance just before and then a couple of small signs that gaps can appear in this Wolves defence.

We're starting to make progress here I think...

 

[Graz]

But now they have a corner... Gulp.

Always a dodgy moment

 

[popillius]

We can't defend. We looked pretty sloppy at times against Fulham but we are a mess today.

 

[homer]

If I were them I’d just play for corners - we haven’t got a ****ing clue

 

[Miles Away]

Said it a few times, but what a player Neto is
