Colback inexplicably surviving another substitution. Can we please let Diame drop into CM more if we're bringing Perez on rather than carrying on with Colback ffs.

Just had a look as I remembered Atsu getting a good amount of games. It seems they sort of switched off between Ritchie, Gouffran and Atsu but Atsu was probably getting the least amount of games without bothering to look at more than 5-6 games. I agree he should be first choice over Gouffran mind, like Yedlin his pace is a real weapon for the side.

He basically was before he left for AFCoN wasn't he? He seemed to be getting more starts than Gouffran in the games leading up to it iirc.

Imagine how good we would be without Paul and Jack. I think we've given about one free kick away in our half if you exclude their 30. They must have a pass completion % of about 22 between them as well.

Aye that sounds like the term they use. Barca did it with Messi, we're doing it with Gouff, nee difference man.

"A case for handball against Colback" In what possible way? Where the fuck else could the bloke put his fucking arm man? If his arm wasn't there it would have hit his side anyway so it gave no advantage hitting his elbow.

Another foul from Jack, is that five now?

There was a moment before where the ball was coming high to Dummett, there was no one within 20 yards of him and he could have remained where he was and took it down on his chest. Instead he chose to attack the ball and almost mistimed it, barely catching it on the top of his head and flicking it right to a Wolves player. He just goes right into panic mode anytime the ball comes near him. I'd like to see what Lazaar can do given a run in the side, it was the same thing with Anita and Yedlin on the other side and Yedlin has been far better once he has had a proper run. I also agree that Atsu should be starter over Gouff.

It's probably a defensive move really, he's went with keeping Gouffrans graft on while adding the pace of Atsu rather than bringing on an out and out striker.

Sunderland are absolutely fucking shite like.

Agreed, some of his movement is really good tbh.

The Gouff?

Can't see him getting a game once Gayle is back after this performance tbh, as you say this has really confirmed (what is assumed to be) Rafa's argument.

I know you don't like him. I'm usually willing to give him a break since we have other rotters in the side but he's being a bit daft today.

We're mint tbh. We have a lad that randomly gifts the opposition free kicks in great areas and a full back that consistently passes the ball directly to opposition midfielders. The fact we have those utter liabilities playing somewhat consistently and still manage to win is staggering. I'll be happy if we grit this one out tbh, both sides are having a stinker today. We have looked brilliant at times recently but nowt seems to be clicking today and Shelvey is having an off day, maybe we'll click 2nd half the same way they switched off 2nd half the other week.

Aye from what I've seen of Trippier I agree, his pace is also a real asset. Surprising that Spurs let him go really as they really value pace in their team.

I'm glad Mitro got a goal but I'm disappointed in the way he acted that half. He didn't do anything particularly nasty, it was just all stupid. He looked at Batth before he flung his arm towards his neck area, while not a nasty elbow it allowed Batth to hoy himself down and start rolling about as if it was. He then took a look at the lad and pretty intentionally bumped him to stop him jumping for the header, again not nasty but it was unneeded and the ref had been leaning Wolves all game so he gave a soft yellow. Finally he flung a boot in a situation he had no realistic shot at getting the ball, nowt nasty imo but it was just a daft thing to do while on a yellow with a dodgy ref. He really has to improve this area of his game and quickly because it just costs him and us, especially now he has a reputation for it.

Aye he's fucking rapid. Thought Yedlin had a good half tbh, Ritchie was constantly cutting inside which didn't afford Yedlin much cover and they clearly were focusing their attacks down that flank as their better player is on that wing but they didn't get much change out of Yedlin. They did profit from fire crotch gifting them two free kicks from fuck all on that side though. Absolutely piss poor game, not a lot between the two sides except we took our chance. I hope it remains like this and Wolves feel massively aggrieved.

Lascelles offside, it's lucky for us this linesman is watching something else today.

Should play Jamaal number 10 role.

The commentator moaning that Wolves only had 10 men on, despite the fact he got hurt from committing a foul rather than being fouled so no injustice, and that Mitro is on the pitch.

:lol: Get in Mitro

Aye Price should have been booked there, can't see how that is any less of a foul than what Mitro was booked for.

:lol: The clip of that throw in man. The standard on display here man.

Did you guys ()know that Wolves player just turned 19? The commentator has mentioned it 3 fucking times
