Despite suffering a defeat to Liverpool, there were promising signs for Wolves in how they performed under Rob Edwards’ guidance.
While Wolves didn’t get the result, their display wasn’t their worst, with the team staying well structured at the back and largely comfortable for long stretches before Liverpool scored twice. Notably, Tolu Arokodare highlighted that the squad looked more cohesive following the loss — a point many fans had wanted to see after Edwards made several changes.
Slot was quick to praise the visitors’ resilience in the second half. Wolves found a response after going behind, with Santiago Bueno pulling one back and Wolves pushing forward looking for an equaliser. Their attacking threat, especially from aerial duels and wide areas, tested Liverpool more than Slot expected, and at times even made the Dutch manager uneasy about holding onto the win.
⏱️ Selection Questions Ahead of United Clash
Wolves’ new-found energy up front, particularly from Mateus Mane and Arokodare, may give Edwards fewer reasons to tinker with his starting XI for the next game against Manchester United. Meanwhile, Hwang Hee‑chan has had a tough time finding form this season, and dropping him could disrupt team balance, though some believe change is necessary.
With January’s transfer window on the horizon and reported interest from clubs like West Ham, Wolves might face decisions on prioritising long‑term contributors over big‑name selections as they aim to build consistency.
