Another clean sheet. Rode our luck a little bit first half but controlled it well after 25 minutes or do. Don't recall Ederson having much to do second half

Third place and we're in pole position for CL

Pleased eith the win. Wolves probably better team at least before our goal first half even though I thought we played well.

Second half shit and boring and was too busy on my phone it was that drab

Cunha hit the post in the second half but that was it. We managed the game pretty well in the end.

Another ugly win. 3 points is all that counts.

If Jamie Carragher thout Doku was our most dsngerous player, we have a long way to go. Doku is all fancy footwork tricks and pace. Fools himself 95% of the time and nothing comes of it. Not seen thr goal yet, but i doubt my opinion will change. Would have thought Grealish deserves some playing time.
Wolved should have been playing with 10. Horrendous tackle, i'd day deliberate, he had plenty of time and space to pull out of that follow through challenge. Silva will feel that tomorrow

Doku "if it was up to me id go every time - but I have to give the team more rest" is he saying nobody is getting on the end of it keeping up with him

We’ve done it all season, starting off slow and allowing our passing game to be interrupted by the high press. We give chances but then get a head of steam and play with more aggression and passion.

Probably down to the old legs getting up to speed (I know, I’ve been there), 4 older players trying to control a box in the middle. It’s fairly easy to play around.

Superb 3 points and we’ll take that. Personally thought Doku was MotM, Kev gets another emotional farewell.

Ps. Thought the ref was fucking awful. Gave them everything and fucked us over all game.

Pps. Best team in the land and all the world!

Pep asked can kev stay - he seemed fuming. Surprised city didn't brief not to ask.


Carragher doesn't even know we have a bell statue and Micah doesnt even correct him. Embracing.

Carragher seemed to ask did we have one and Richards says no, some ambassador for thee club. Richards is a useless prick on tv. Offers no analysis just a laugh that got old listening to very quickly.

What a frustrating game. Only the Croations played well out of the starting 11. Doku is so annoying- must have messed his final ball 15 times. There was nothing in the middle, their keeper didn't make a save but 3 points is all that matters and a bonus with Akanji and Rico off the bench who both did well

Neither keeper had anything to do. Only 1 save from wolves from the O'Reilly shot in the 1st half. Final third play was poor today, but 3 points is all we need it's about the results at this stage of the season.

Not a game to remember but 3 very important points.

For the Khusanov debate I thought both FB’s were wasteful today yet we kept another clean sheet. Who knows what to do. I do think giving him a few mins at the end wouldn’t kill us but at 1-0 what can ya do?

Gundo less effective than he’s been in a while.

Doku flattered to deceive yet got the assist.

Marmoush is being pushed wider and is less effective in my opinion.

CB’s did well. Kev got a goal he deserves.
Tracking back is overrated.

We won't see Nico OR again. Nunes allowed to fuck up every time and Josko allowed to give the ball to Forest for Gibbs White to hit the post but they don't get pulled. Pep couldn't wait to get him off - how about actually coaching the player, eh?

Happy with the 3 points probs undeserved, we definitely aren’t the entertainers anymore just awful watch, I feel sorry for the fans paying hundreds watching that. I don’t see how the £180 million spent in January has improved us at all really worrying the level of players we’re recruiting, instead of buying 5 for the future buy 2 for now imo.

Last few games it seems to me the oppo has gone hell for leather at us for half an hour then got knackered pressing us too much. Which is sort of how it used to work.

Mase - sorry but even the commentators said O'Reilly was taken off when he gave it away 3 times in a row, and afterwards we looked better on that side.

It's not rocket science, it's not vindictive, it's simply football. Some games it just doesn't work . He was off because his head had gone a bit. No matter how many times you post the same thing.

We've just beaten a team that's won 9 in a row, and we've won a few now

Carragher? We're now saying he's correct hahahaha. O'Reilly made two mistakes just before he was pulled. After the first one Pep turned around and told Akanji to get ready. When Nunes gave the ball away, got tackled, gave free kicks away, misplaced passes etc why was Pep not doing the same? The guy is mentally unstable sometimes - will never forget when Nacho missed that chance and Pep turned round waving ridiculously at the Directors box screaming "I told you"

You're one to talk about moaning. Any player that's under the age of 22 that plays and you don't stop moaning, waiting for the first mistake :lol:

Missed the game, but saw the highlights this morning.
If they are telling the story, then we looked as shite as usual.
