Dave Edwards: Another chastening weekend for Vitor Pereira’s Wolves

Wolves had taken the lead for the first time in a game this season. It was against a side that had been really struggling to score goals themselves and struggling for confidence after conceding late against Fulham the week before.

It was all set up for Wolves, which makes what happened after that goal even more alarming.

They became very, very passive. They dropped deep inside their own half and into their shape.

I do understand that at times in the Premier League that is something that you are going to have to do.

But when you are playing a newly promoted team and you have gone 1-0 up, that is when you need to raise the intensity and show why you are an established Premier League team and go for the kill.

Wolves just did not do that, and Leeds became more and more confident in possession of the football, and they were a lot more aggressive when they lost it as well.

The home side just could not get out, and it was the athleticism that Leeds had, which I believe was the most worrying thing from the game.

I feel the team just does not look dynamic. Leeds looked stronger, quicker and had more intent in what they were trying to do.

That was what undid Wolves - especially in the midfield areas. Their midfield three had far too much, with Joao Gomes in there to try and stop that happening, but away from Krejci, they just did not have any outlet.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Fer Lopez  both really struggled as the two number 10s. If Lopez is going to play in that role in this team you feel he is going to have to play as a number 10 in a midfield three.

If Wolves are going to play 3-4-3, then he can’t play on either of the sides at this moment in his development.

He gives you so much from an attacking perspective, but they cannot afford to carry anyone defensively, which is what they are doing with him.

I do think that Jose Sa could have done better with the second goal. Don’t get me wrong, it is a wonderful free-kick from Anton Stach.

He hit it so sweetly, but it is on his side, and I believe he should be stopping it. He should be doing better.

The third goal was calamitous from Wolves. Emmanuel Agbadou was a revelation last season when he arrived at the club, but he is so low on confidence at this moment in time.

In all three home games, he has made big mistakes in all of them.

A pass into midfield was cut out, and they were punished. They huffed and they puffed in the second half, but in a moment where Vitor Pereira is struggling to find his best XI, I feel that was the worst performance they have put in under him.

He needs to try to find that settled XI. If it is going to be 3-4-3, then Marshall Munetsi has to play because they need legs. They are not a good enough side to have lots of players to rely on creativity with.

He made a big difference when he came on, just from being aggressive with his runs and anticipating where the ball is going to be.

No one else can do the job that he does out of possession.
