Wolves: Fans criticise by Brendan Rodgers’ comments following Leicester stalemate - Wolves

Loads of Wolves fans slammed Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers after described the hosts’ disallowed goal during their 0-0 draw at the Molineux as “brilliant”.

The Foxes’ boss believed that his side’s performance warranted a point on Friday despite the marginal technicality which ruled out Willy Boly’s header in the first half. Pedro Neto was believed to have been in an offside position as he came to play a short corner, which led to the Frenchman thinking he had given Nuno Espirito Santo’s team the lead.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Rodgers said that being the manager on the right side of the decisions is “brilliant”, and that there is always a chance when a goal is conceded because of VAR. As a result, supporters were fuming with Rodgers and made their feelings clear on social media. One fan described him as a clown, while another described his responses as “pathetic”.

Who's had a better season?

What a horrible summarising of what our game has become. No thanks, Brenda. Games gone.

It’s turning an emotive sport into a geometry exam, Brendan. If you think that’s brilliant then I imagine you didn’t have too many girlfriends growing up
