“[The players are] down as you’ll anticipate. For all of the laborious work that has gone into that, to then depart with laborious luck tales appears like an enormous blow after all. I used to be very important of them at Brentford. As we speak was a return to extra like what we should be.

The taker from Phil [Foden] and the header [by John Stones] have been magnificent.

@mitchdavis_1: Wasn’t offside however once more we will return to wolves vs West Ham final season and guess what they dissalowed the objective. That occurs within the metropolis field 100% they disallow it

@ColinPep1: Even worse than the choice was the decision a minute earlier once we ought to have had a free kick, which might probably have secured one level, possibly three. Sure the participant took the ball however it was from behind, not aspect on #wwfc #WOLMCI

@CarlJon49470078: Albion fan right here. If that’s on the different finish it’s given as offside all day lengthy. I can see that Silva is attempting to get out the way in which however he’s backing into Sa.

@GoldenPalace73: Overlook offside. That ought to have been disallowed for silva deliberately backing into sa when sa was simply taking his first step to return and clear the ball. He moved into says path. @FA_PGMOL unhealthy officiating

@kevtheman10: I’ve to say it’s gutting to lose to a final minute winner. What i don’t perceive is although, if Bernardo Silva is obstructing the keeper and in an offside place, why did V.A.R and ref give the objective? I actually thought Wolves deserved to get a minimum of a degree. #WWFC #WOLMCI

@JakeWStephens91: Powerful luck in opposition to 12 males, Pep’s brown envelope and the rigged PL

@JamesMcGirr07: That’s actually unfortunate to lose like that, the actual fact we held Metropolis for a lot of the sport and was main in opposition to them for 20 odd minutes is unbelievable, hopefully this will really begin one thing good for us

@JoeJones3387: Superb efficiency. Lads gave it their finest. Robbed as a result of you’ll be able to ram and barge again right into a keeper whereas a ball is mid air off nook so he can’t focus and set his toes and so on. interfering with play by the principles of the sport. However 115 Metropolis can’t get a nasty VAR can they

@Henzzaa: Rememeber once we scored a objective the very same final 12 months and it wasn’t given? Massive membership bias is so actual

@markwolves71: Refs favouring the highest golf equipment as at all times. Effectively pleased with my Membership nice performances everywhere in the park

@Laura02395618: It’s at all times extra gutting when it’s final minute can’t assist however really feel we actually are in danger now of happening this season or having one other battle on our arms on the backside of the desk as we fall additional behind and adrift ! Stable defensively at the moment however nonetheless with out factors

@powelly_wwfc: Overlook whether or not the profitable objective ought to have counted, Kavanagh was a shame at the moment.

Dishonest of the worst form.
