Unfortunately that's not how the world works Kamara.
Might be a bug bare of yours but denying it doesn't change anything.
I'm amazed you haven't realised this

Kamara is right and then again, he's not. This is a head vs heart argument. The object of football is to put the ball in the net and whichever team is most successful in that respect gets the points. How they do it is irrelevant as long as it's within the rules of the game. Wolves scored with what some on here describe as a fluke – but it wasn't. They created everything that led up to that goal and played the final ball that ended up in the net. That's the head speaking.
The heart says that because we dominated possession, created better chances, and were the victims of a ball that could have gone anywhere but 'luckily' ended up in the net suggests we deserved to win.
It's no coincidence that those who lose tend to speak with the heart while winning supporters are generally happy to look at it logically (i.e. with the head), take the result and move on.
I haven't expressed myself very well here but I'm trying to say there are two ways of looking at this.

I still can't get my head around someone arguing that Klich was playing in midfield.
