Wolves welcome league leaders Liverpool to Molineux for this evening's televised match
Nuno Espirito Santo will be hoping his team can maintain their fine form displayed in their recent run of three consecutive Premiership wins, and two home wins. However it will be a tough call against the team leading the chase who are yet to be beaten this season. Diogo Jota has been declared unfit for the game with a hamstring injury sustained against Bournemouth, which is a blow for the team considering his recent form, so Helder Costa may retain his place despite his poor form.
The game will be shown live on Sky TV, and board members are encouraged to express their opinions on here, as the Moderator will be watching the game in a Chester pub celebrating Christmas with a Liverpool fan, an Evertonian, a Manc, a Man City fan, a Leeds fan and three other interested observers!!
The excellent v Man City, Arsenal version or the v Huddersfield, Cardiff version.
I fancy us to put on a good showing personally. I too will be 'fueling' my viewing down the pub tonight together with 3-4 of the local Wolves fans down here in Ivybridge and hopefully not too many Liverpool supporters.
We huffed and puffed in front of goal and never seemed likely to blow the goal down, nevertheless we played well and plenty of positives. Oh to have a Mo Salah. This players class was the difference.
I hope we can take these positives into the match versus Fulham. I really don’t want to see us capitulate there!
Well played Wolves, we’ve come a long way .... and a measure of what I believe our capability is that I am disappointed about tonight, regardless of our effort and general play.
The midfield isn't the problem, the strikers are and would suggest we created as many chances as Liverpool if not more.. swap our strikers for their forwards and we win the game. Obviously that's what sets elite teams aside from the rest as they are able to afford players like Salah whose touch for the first goal was sublime - beyond anything our strikers are capable of. Jimenez held the ball up very well but I got the impression we could still be playing next week and not score. We need a clinical finisher to partner Jimenez ideally but whether we have the ambition to get one will remain to be seen.
I thought we were very unlucky to be behind at half time but second half Liverpool ran out worthy winners. Why Nuno keeps bringing Traore off I've no idea as we look half the team we did when we lost his pace upfront... neves looks utter sh1te these days and his obsession with shooting from 50 yards out is becoming tiresome.
