Liam Keen's Wolves player ratings v Liverpool as record broken for winless start

Liam Keen rates the Wolves players on their performance following defeat to Liverpool.

Jose Sa

The goalkeeper was not at fault for either goal and did make some good saves, but still makes mistakes with his distribution.

Mixed afternoon: 5

Matt Doherty

The experienced defender struggled on the day, was not as good in possession and was caught out defensively a few times.

Struggled: 4

Yerson Mosquera

The defender had a better second and carried the ball out of defence well, despite his erratic behaviour.

Erratic: 5

Santi Bueno

Alongside his goal, S.Bueno had a good second half, was calmer in possession and did well defensively.

Goalscorer: 6

Ladislav Krejci

Krejci has struggled of late and did not cover himself in glory for the second goal, but was better after the break.

Better: 5

Hugo Bueno

Back in the side after injury and H.Bueno did poorly for the opening goal and struggled overall for any impact in the game.

Poor: 4

Andre

Andre was poor in the first half but much better on and off the ball in the second. He helped dictate the game.

Dictate: 6

Joao Gomes

J.Gomes was off the pace in the first 45 and played a part in the opening goal, but was far more on it in the second half.

Improved: 6

Mateus Mane

The young forward was given a chance and definitely took it with a positive, forward-thinking approach.

Chance: 6

Hwang Hee-chan

Hwang was too quiet when Wolves needed him to offer more in the first half. The set-up did not work and he was swiftly taken off.

Quiet: 4

Tolu Arokodare

The big forward put himself about and was a nuisance at times, even if sometimes he does lack quality. His header also led to the goal.

Strong: 5

Substitutes

Jackson Tchatchoua (for Doherty, 62), 5, David Moller Wolfe (for H.Bueno, 62), 5, Jorgen Strand Larsen (for Hwang, 62), 4, Jhon Arias (for Mosquera, 79).
