Didn’t feel either of their penalties were pens. I don’t think Emerson does enough & while Mavro was clumsy, it’s not enough to warrant awarding the spot kick. Players make contact with players during a game. Both our goals were fine, IMO.
Not a lot of quality, two teams lacking confidence, 3 points but if we don’t build on it over the Xmas period we’ll be back to square one again.
We got three points but it was a poor game. Our performance wasn't convincing and we looked very vulnerable in defence. Still not convinced that Lopetegui can deliver and would like to see him replaced but this win might buy him another reprieve.
I do agree that our position in the League is not that bad. Our performances however are poor, and I just don't see improvement with the current manager. It just doesn't seem right.
I think we definitely had the rub of the green in this one. Our first goal should have been a goal kick, not a corner, and, on another day (or against another team perhaps) we could easily have conceded one if not two penalties. Also a possible foul by Mavropanos before Bowen's goal.
Our second could easily have not happened if the ref had blown for Mavrapanos climbing over the defender which I thought he would have done but was happy he didn’t.
3 points for Antonio 👍🏻⚒️⚒️ Decisions went our way tonight, that’s the way it goes… Happy for the win, especially for Antonio… As for J Lo, no way does this make me change my mind, he’s wrong for WHUFC IMO,,,,
It was only the result that mattered tonight but ultimately we were very lucky, if that match was refereed competently the result is different.
I was very impressed with Gary O'Neil as he spoke well and should be given more time. His team fought for everything and were much better than Leicester last week, they just lacked a little quality which is understandable when you see what he had to sell and what he has been able to buy. On that measure and to see two teams so closely matched tonight then he is doing a much better job that Lopetgui who had the opposite help in being able to spend big and sell only who he wanted, yet scraped home tonight due to huge help from the officials.

A bit of aggro on the pitch after the whistle.
Either way, huge 3 points
