Wolves suffered another heavy defeat against Chelsea in their first outing without Vitor Pereira.
There’s honestly not much to say about the performance from Wolves.
It was flat. The game felt like a formality with no real doubt over which way it was going to go.
Wolves managed to keep a clean sheet in the first half — an achievement in its own right — but were run over in the second half, similar to the first half of their meeting in the Carabao Cup.
The highlight of the night, as sad as it is, was probably Pedro Neto getting a goal against his former club, and taking no liberties with the celebration.
Wolves fans not happy with Pedro Neto after Chelsea goal
Neto was actually a doubt to face Wolves, but he made it onto the team sheet to go up against his old side.
When Alejandro Garnacho darted down the wing on the counter, he found Neto with ease to help the ball home from a couple of yards out.
Nothing special about the goal, but the former Wolves star celebrated nonetheless, and fans weren’t too pleased.
One fan says: “Surprised with his celebration, I thought he would have held back a bit but he went proper OTT with it.”
Another fan agrees, remarking: “Pedro Neto is a weasel for that celebration by the way.”
But honestly, the anger at Neto was mostly just emotion. The majority of fans were more troubled by the wider problems they were seeing.
Like this fan: “Ahaahahahha, Pereira was the problem right?”
Or this dejected supporter: “What a club we have become under Fosun.”
To end on a more light-hearted not, well, sort of, here’s a fan who comes to a quick realisation. And not a happy one. They say: “Time for Vitor to g… oh.”
A really dull Premier League outing at Stamford Bridge.
Rob Edwards has his work cut out for him
Rob Edwards looks set to become Wolves’ next manager, and this display at Stamford Bridge doesn’t do much to reassure.
He needs to come in and change the way Wolves not only play, but approach games. It’s just not working.
After Middlesbrough’s decision to let Edwards negotiate, it’s a matter of time before he is announced.
But tonight’s performance shows that the problems at Wolves are much more than just the man in the technical area.
