Hard fought point gained. Lots and lots of poor play with a smattering of decent stuff. Watkins had an off day but for a couple of efforts. The international break is a blessing I think.

I’ve never seen so much shirt pulling in my life

Indeed and since when is a push in the back just as a player is about to shoot six yards out no longer a penalty?

Good save by the keeper but Konsa should be scoring at the end and Watkins should have hurried that header.

Probably fair.

We perked up a bit near the end after the red card but I don't really think we did enough to win that game.

First half was as cagey as you can get. End to end in the second suited them more really.

Shout out for the ref who clearly decided during the game pushing people in the back and pretty much taking the shirt off McGinn on a couple of occasions weren't fouls, that was a really good shout for a penalty but he was never going to give it after ignoring their claim.

When Luiz is below par we just don't function that well centrally. Annoying he got involved with silly dispute with Hwang and he lost concentration as a result. Shooting wildly from 40 yards after they'd just got down to 10 men was poor.

Take a point and move on. Other two games were draws and we're nicely on two points per game average so loads to look forward to over the next few months. A few sides around us will find it pretty tough to win at Molineux as they are improving a fair bit.

Very sloppy all round and the worse I’ve see Dougie play in a long time. Wolves made it hard and we couldn’t match their aggression. They are very good at breaking up play and good on the counter.

Neto is a quality player and the Korean guy is a right pain in the worst possible way.  Not a bad point away from home.

A point will do. They are crap, but they always somehow bring us down to their level, sorry #levels, when they play us. And Sa always looks like the best keeper in the world when we play them, too.

I have a feeling too that poor Zaniolo will never score a goal for us.

Smirker can take his share of the blame for the early pre-match thread.

I decided on a lasagne for tea. Nothing much else to say but a point is a point at this stage

Have to say aswell Pedro Neto is a top player for them.

He's everything really we expected Bailey to be for us.

Far far far too good for them. Would love that sort of game stretcher for us in final third.

Crap game, crap performance. Take the point and a much needed international break.

 Dragged us down to their level.
Foul count 19-9.
And only 1 red?

A very poor spectacle. As someone mentioned in the match thread Wolves look like prime Pulis-era Stoke. And it now seems shoving someone deliberately in the middle of the back with a hand to put them off balance as they shoot is now a legitimate tackle. Terrible referee. Again!

That shouldn't even go to the Stockley Park blind school to umm and ah about it. Any decent ref or linesman clocks that straight away.

I hope to be proven wrong but so far in a Villa shirt, Zaniolo has been all fart and no poo
