Wolves played great and absolutely deserved a result.

Liverpool scored a needed 2nd goal and absolutely deserved the win.

Early in the second half Did alisson take that Jimenez shot directly off the face? I never saw a great replay of it. If so he took that like a fricking boss, and then grabbed the ball a few seconds later.

It looked like it... he's such a difference maker...

Two of those flubs with Alisson in perfect position to stop a legit shot. But that doesn’t matter when it comes to imaginary goals, right?

Patricio made a brilliant save on firmino free in the box, and Salah has one blocked that he could've laid off for a tap in. The missed header early was an easy missed chance. Tired legs miscuing a pingaround in the box isn't nearly as easy as you're making it out to be

I never said we weren't, it's also okay to not let your butthurtedness force you to seek a false moral victory every time Liverpool pulls away late. The metrics unanimously favored Liverpool. Sure, they were close, thus we were fortunate. Nothing points to second best in that match though

You can pretend that Alisson wasn’t positioned perfectly for at least two of those imaginary “goals” if you want.

I can lead ya to water, etc. etc.

I would tell you to go look at xG for the match, in which Wolves were superior, but you guys love living in fantasy land.


1.8 to 1.6

One of the big ones for wolves is one i'm not sure I agree with since the ball is bouncing around the box and it's not an easy finish by any means

Speaks more to the difficulty of the shot then I'd say, one with a high xG value per the metrics.

Did I do that right? Is that how it works?

I mean Bobby 100% should've gotten a yellow for kicking the ball away, and blowing the final whistle early is just weird/wrong.

Not really sure how that's debatable.

Coady probably should've gotten one too for taking down Salah on the edge of the box in the 5th minute as the last defender. Sometimes refs frick up

Wolves gotta finish those chances. Game was there for the taking.

Raul still GOAT

Now need some fricking transfers. Dani Olmo I’m talking to you

Both teams missed some great chances. A draw would have been more than fair to both teams.
