Frustrating, but that's what they set out for; trying to nick a win.

We didn't have enough to break them down but we're the better team.

The constant fouling, and trying to get McGinn was ridiculous, and lots of free-kicks that should have been given, weren't. Watkins went to ground a few times and in the middle of the park would have been given. Including the shove. Why VAR didn't pick it up is nuts.



The commentary on my feed , compared our penalty appeal to theirs with Neto one ,  not a chance 😳

I’d break the bank for Neto. Top player and would massively improve us in wide positions.

yep , way too  good for them

Yeah, he's an absolute menace

I think Neto is very good. 
But he was helped today by Pau’s lack of pace.

The boys put in a tough shift on Thursday so not losing today in a very good result coupled by getting straight back in it after  going a goal down. It will do for now.

True but it still feels like two points dropped than one gained.

We were due a draw, the champions lost there last week, we were the better team but just couldn't get things moving fluidly in the final third, it happens. No problem, on we go.

Probably one of the most ‘un’ Unai performances since he came to us.
It’s been a long time since I saw us slow to react to situations and give the ball away so sloppily.
Ollie seemed 2 seconds behind the play, Bouba kept holding the ball longer than necessary, Torres gave the ball away a lot.

It’s a good job Wolves are shit.

To be fair he regularly does that to many players.

Seems like Neto hit the gym over the summer. Lot fitter and stronger. At same time he isn't that particularly quick, that defending from Torres for the goal was embarrassing. Neto did same to Carlos not long after but Kamara did brilliantly to get back. Playing three centre backs with two of them incredibly slow on the turn isn't a great combination.

Many times we just seem to lob the ball in and hope, Wolverhampton remind me of the Albion many years ago, but happy generally overall with the point

How the hell was that not a penalty for the blatant push on Watkins, and why are we not going apeshit and demanding a VAR review?
