Class by Pereira. Pointing to where he wanted Robinson to go and picking him out.

If it’s a foul in regular play, then it’s a foul in the box. And Coady basically tripped Robinson twice.
Surprisingly it has been a cracking little game. Wolves are dire without Jimenez, it's been exemplified massively in his absence.
But it’s Coady...so that’s a pen in my books! Should have been red carded too
Clearly a very gifted, but also hardworking player. He’d be an excellent backup RW/AM for us when we sell James and Lingard.
God, I hate Wolves so much.
That's true yeah
This has the feeling of ending 4-4
Still like Neto. Coady off before he gives another penalty away.
I’d have Neto over any player there
Yes Mr Hoddle as he is not getting treatment, it could just be he has had a really bad game.
Neves was blocked out of competing for a header that ended up becoming an assist by a hand that was pushed in his face. Regardless of Neves's ability to carry on without medical attention, it is not allowed to hold off opponents by pushing them in the face so it should've been an obvious foul.
Not to mention that a 'simple trip' wasn't even a foul down the other end when Semedo's path was blocked just minutes before the second pen.
NB; I think both pens were correct calls sinc they were both straightforward fouls but I think Oliver's been inconsistent and should've disallowed the second WBA goal for a 'simple foul' too.
I think that's generous. Robinson threw himself to the ground expecting contact and got a tiny little touch when he was well and truly on his way down already.
You can see why VAR hasn't intervened, but we're definitely in a phase of football when attacking players are being rewarded for cheating.
Talking about Coady like he's prime Beckenbauer...
Barry Beckenbauer?
From what I saw, Bartley was jumping to head the ball while Neves was basically crouching. It would be as soft as the Maguire one if they disallowed it. I understand your complaint about consistency, but imo in isolation, those two were the right calls.
Class by Traore. Silva has to do better!
Neville and Carra have him in their team of the season
Think he is a kid who does not have the experience or physicality to replace Raul Jimenez.
When Saiss is streets ahead...
Neto is so good I hope we sign him.
Well, I suppose he was "jumping to head the ball", but you can't secure an unopposed header by pushing your challenger in the face to eliminate any possibility of being challenged for it. I'm not saying Bartley should've had a red card or anything, just that a push in the face is an obvious, non-dangerous foul, just like the penalties were.
Like I said in the edit after you quoted my post, the two penalties were reasonable calls as they were straightforward fouls, however Semedo was denied a free kick the other way for a hip check that was more obvious than the pen given the other way and obviously the laws of the game don't allow for pushing an opponent in the face to prevent them from challenging for the ball.
The fact that the latter two weren't given as free kicks whereas the penalties were given (with the higher bar for pens) makes me think that Wolves have a right to be aggrieved with Oliver, especially as the 2-2 and 3-2 calls obviously swing the game in one team's favour.
Disclaimer: I don't support any of the teams but I'll gladly take any chance to call Michael Oliver a twat.
Cutrone should score
Or at least hit the target
Or at least hit the target
Fabio Silva booked for diving.
Salah would be proud.
Disgusting really
12 attempt to four. Wolves have not had one on target.
It was. Desperate.
Someone's been watching Pogba videos.
It was so bad especially with VAR around
At least do it with some contact which might get by VAR

The Big Sam effect
Bit rich coming from you. Two biggest divers in the league are at Liverpool
Why does Nuno look so sad ?
Selling Doherty ( not that he was that good, but fit well in the system, selling Jota ( a big loss) and losing Jimenez is really biting Wolves hard. Great win for WBA.
Massive win for West Brom.
That's lovely
that would be a nice run of play for our game tomorrow - winning with two pens 
1 win away from safety, not sure they will need 34 points this season.
Hope not! Another shit side playing shit football
