Wolverscumton Wandering Brummie Twats (A match thread)

Shame about Yesterday. We were the better side but just cannot put people away. As for set pieces? Nightmare really. I think Sels should have caught that. Having said that, I think Danilo is starting to hit form and he is going to be important. Ribeiro looks like a talented youngster and unfortunately Origi is Origi and I wish he had just gone for goal. I think Sa would have saved it back into Wood's path. It is what it is. It is going to the Wire. Everton are rubbish but they do the one thing we have a tough time with and that is defend long balls into the box. Might have to employ the big boys against the Bin Dipping Sky Merchants.

I think with Taiwo we will win games as he is the chaos merchant that we need. Cunha is a very very good player and he is that player for them... Cunts.

We just have to turn the draws into the wins. Donny you are trolling. That is all you do. Try being happy watching some decent football. We are far from Shit but we are. young.

If we have Elanga raring to go next week I think we sucker punch Ever-gone and cheated the system. We certainly have it in our locker.

We just have to press the advantage when we are winning. We have dropped 51 points this season (most in the premier league), so I am wondering if Nuno (and Coops) have always suggested to the players to consolidate the lead and play with caution rather than push to kill the game off. In this league unless you are rather brilliant at defending (something that we are not), then it's a bad idea.

MGW was excellent yesterday. Reyna was boring. He had a fair few chances to shoot and didn't and yet we fashioned some good chances.

I would give Ribeiro a chance if we have a choice between and Divog who seems short of confidence.

Pivotal few weeks coming up and Poo-ton and Bumley need to stop picking up points.

We have it in us. Just got to do it. I think we can. Our football is way better than it used to be. We just need the rub of the green. Please bear in mind, Villa struggled for three years beating relegation on the final day twice and now they are top four. So if we make it, we can kick on with some astute moves in the summer assuming that we don't get dicked by stupid fucking rules.

Chicago: Still hanging on.

Don’t be silly. Of course we fucking haven’t.

They quoted this stat on television. Apparently we have been ahead in a lot of games and managed to not get over the line. I am going with what was said on the coverage over here. Not my own assumptions. You seem very quick to jump on everything i say without actually asking, "what's that from?".

Anyway I am Relaying this information, It was repeated a few times over the broadcast by different people. (Commentators and Pundits in the studio), Seems outlandish, but I suspect this is not pie in the sky.

Anyway as you were cnut chops.

Chicago: Easily persuaded.

Seriously, you think that if we’d held onto our leads, we’d be four points clear at the top of the league, even with our deduction? Common sense says that’s bollocks.

Our current figure is somewhere in the 20s. I suspect that 51 is over the last two seasons added together.

It is.

Maybe.... I suppose I should have prefaced my statement with "Apparently".

Just makes it even worse then doesn't it? Even with a new team every year we seem adept at cocking up an advantage. So coaching....

Chicago: Trying to avoid confusion.

I reckon we’ve given away about one hundred and twelfty pts just from the amount of times we’ve lost 3-2.

I'd be more concerned if they were good at attacking with long balls into our box.

My apologies, that is what I meant. They are good at chucking balls into the box and getting a head to them. We can't defend those for Nelly. It's hot here today and I am allergic to the sun and I have a very large garden, (don't like to brag), and have heat stroke mowing it.

Chicago: Clearly not a Proof reader.

I think they are first or second at scoring from set pieces. We’re the worst at defending them, by some distance. So, that’s bad.

I realise, I was just being annoyingly pedantic as is the Talkback way.

I'm going to Everton, more in hope than anticipation. I just can't see how we don't concede at least 2-3 from set pieces.

In my experience of watching football, it's really really really hard to give away a set piece around your box when you have possession of the football. Greater football minds than mine think it's a good idea to play as much of the game without the ball as possible though, apparently.

Pretty sure Yatesy would find a way

Of course you have to know how to play without the ball, and you have to know how to recover the ball. Every team has to do that. What we're talking about is the logic and wisdom of a specific strategy to play without the ball, in the belief that you're better off soaking up the pressure and then hitting on the counter.

Even Ali knew he could only get away with using the rope-a-dope once.
