Did Joao Gomes outshine Declan Rice in Wolves' defeat to Arsenal?
daniel.owen292d ago
Gomes is outstanding on his day. Just wish he had more of them!
james.rutherford292d ago
He was excellent against one of the most physical midfielders in the league. Fair play to him.
rosie.tudball292d ago
Without a doubt, there's a reason why Rice had his worst game in ages for Arsenal.
Was Joao Gomes' performance vs Arsenal his best of the season so far? 🤔
eoin293d ago
Leading by example for sure. Just need him to get back to the consistency of last season
tom.procter293d ago
Can't recall a better one from him. He was everywhere. Need to see this level from him as often as possible!
Wolves fans, what have you made of Yerson Mosquera's season so far?
daniel.owen292d ago
It's hard to tell really but he's one I haven't actively been screaming in frustration at...
tom.procter294d ago
He's had some good moments but has lacked consistency. There's a player with real potential there, but always worry he's gonna get sent off. Probably 5/10
scott.mason294d ago
Think he has been OK. Overall season performance would be a 5/10.

If Wolves had to start one at right wing-back, who actually deserves it: Doherty, Tchatchoua, or Hoever?
daniel.owen292d ago
Tchatchoua. He's still new to England. Give him a longer run
scott.mason294d ago
Doherty for the experience; The other two have failed to impress

tom.procter294d ago
Out of these three it would be Doherty, although not sure he has the legs to play as a wing-back regularly. We could really do with Rodrigo Gomes being fit again tbh

Wolves fans, was the 2-1 defeat to Arsenal the hardest loss to stomach so far this season? 🤔
daniel.owen292d ago
There's an argument to say, based on form and points tallies, it would have been the biggest shock in modern Premier League history
eoin292d ago
story of this season
rosie.tudball295d ago
We've been starved of that level of elation, only for it to become heartbreak minutes later. So painful.

Has Tolu Arokodare done enough to displace Jorgen Strand Larsen in the starting XI?
rosie.tudball295d ago
Without a doubt, he's got so much confidence, this side needs it. JSL is the complete opposite sadly.
♥ 1
tom.procter295d ago
Don't think there can be any arguments now. Not only should he start, but he should start ahead of JSL, not in a partnership with him

jordan.harris295d ago
that was such an underrated finish

Put yourself in Rob Edwards' shoes. How do you lift the Wolves players' spirits after losing in the manner they did vs Arsenal?
richard.bray200294d ago
Tell them you are leaving. That's sure to lift their spirits 😄
tom.procter295d ago
Think Rob just needs to highlight the positives to them and demand more of the same. We were genuinely unlucky. Couple of tweaks up top and if we can continue being organised like against Arsenal then I expect the results to come
scott.mason295d ago
Show them how teams in higher positions couldn't frustrate Arsenal as much as them, and that they can compete against anyone!
HOT TAKE 🔥: Hwang Hee-chan is an excellent option when used centrally for Wolves.
rosie.tudball295d ago
There's a reason they call him 'the bull', so strong. Just wish he was always like that 🤦♀️
tom.procter295d ago
Really like him in a two up top
PGMOL clarify the Bukayo Saka offside incident 🗣️
fstransformers294d ago
When was that law changed ? He was influencing play, the ball was his to run on to and that forced the clearance for the corner. At what point in the season will we have an offside given against us for an identical infringement ?
wslfixtures295d ago
Toti could have let the ball go through, then if Saka plays it he is offside or if it goes straight out of play it's a goal kick, easier said than done, because a defender will always play the ball. Rule needs looking at.
tom.procter295d ago
Such a frustrating one. Can't be flagged offside, but Toti can't exactly just let the ball come through to him
Little amount of minutes for Mateus Mane, but a big impact. Should he be one of the first names in the starting XI against Brentford now?
tom.procter295d ago
No doubt in my mind he should start vs Brentford. Seems to bring energy and impact every time he's called upon

scott.mason295d ago
He's so talented. Has that quality needed!

Despite defeat, there were plenty of positives to take away from that Wolves performance.
peter.lynch294d ago
Tough one to take that, but plenty of positives going forward!
rosie.tudball295d ago
Joao Gomes was better than any player on the pitch, Arsenal included!
mark.marston295d ago
They're clearly playing for Edwards!
Use one word to describe that performance, Wolves fans...😒

Gut-wrenching
Owen Hargreaves claims Wolves fans have a secret agenda against Jorgen Strand Larsen 😡
tom.procter295d ago
I feel so disappointed. The drop-off has been crazy!
Hwang Hee-chan had the best chance of the first half for either side. Should he have done better to score?
scott.mason295d ago
Think he ran out of steam. Done so well to carry the ball, but then the shot had no power. Too much distance to cover on the run.
How good was that defensive display from Wolves in the first half!
scott.mason295d ago
Arsenal look out of ideas. Could be something here...
Wolves’ starting XI vs Arsenal is IN 🐺🟠
scott.mason295d ago
Starting Hwang as a striker might be the only true gripe I have, but he is better there than out wide.
Jorgen Strand Larsen 'hurt' by jeers from the Wolves supporters 🗣️
brogan295d ago
I'm sure fans are even more 'hurt' by the results this season
johndavies17295d ago
Like Vitor, Edwards has the answers but for some reason won't take them, Larsen & Tolu up Top with Fer behind, why not push André further forward, I don't think he knows his full team.
josh.barker296d ago
I don't think it matters who starts to be honest, tonight could get ugly.
Who's brave enough to put a fiver on an away win tomorrow, I am.
No comments yet. Be the first.
Be more aggressive. We gotta create chances and show more aggression up top. We need to play counter-attacking, fast-paced football and actually trouble this untested Arsenal defence, with most of their stars injured.
scott.mason296d ago
Agreed. Could be a rare chance to surprise Arsenal and get something against them.
♥ 1
Agree with our predicted Wolves XI to face Arsenal?
brogan295d ago
Unfortunately don't think there are any changes that could change the outcome 😫
johndavies17296d ago
I think Edwards is like Vitor in that he doesn't know his best team.
johndavies17296d ago
If they are good enough put them in and that includes Mane.
Wolves fans, who should take Jean-Ricner Bellegarde's place in the starting XI?
scott.mason296d ago
Either Fer Lopez or Mateus Mane. No other options.
Have a hanky ready. 😂got to have a sence of humour to be a fan of wolves.

POV: You are Rob Edwards, and the one player you hope is not in Arsenal's starting XI on Saturday is ________.
daniel.owen296d ago
Got to be Rice. Take him out, and we might have a glimmer of a chance
scott.mason297d ago
Honestly, Declan Rice.
How many points can you see Wolves getting over their next five matches? 🤔
rohanindia2021294d ago
3 points
johndavies17296d ago
6 points.
daniel.owen296d ago
Those home games are actually winnable. Six points and that completely transforms our season immediately
Finish this sentence: When Wolves play Arsenal, the one thing Rob Edwards must do is ________.
gazplatt1964295d ago
Apologise for the way we played.
graham0074u296d ago

daniel.owen296d ago
Actually have a go! Wolves and United on the ropes at times on Monday
Wolves fans, should Fer Lopez be given a rare start for Wolves this weekend vs Arsenal? 🤔
callum_boyle296d ago
Options are limited and he was one of the few to come out of that Man United game with any sort of credit. Want to see players making an effort
daniel.owen296d ago
Honestly, why not? At this point, a wildcard could be exactly what we need. If anything else, just to give the fans a bit of excitement
cameron297d ago
Absolutely. Thought that he looked lively on Monday. Would be nice to see him get a run of games

The last time Wolves prevented Arsenal from scoring, 'Heart of Glass' by Blondie was the UK number 1, the Sony Walkman debuted that year, and punk fashion and disco glam were trendy.
tom.procter297d ago
Will be so tough to get anything there. I just hope we're competitive. I'll stick my neck out and say we snatch a point, 1-1!
scott.mason297d ago
Think that stat will continue to go on. Can only see one outcome unfortunately. Arsenal to win 3-1. Wolves to score and give fans something to cheer about!
Five players have played for both Wolves and Arsenal since the introduction of the Premier League.
josh.barker296d ago
Emi Martinez?
tom.procter297d ago
Think we had Pennant briefly on loan. The 03/04 signing is Luzhny I think
The players are the real problem at Wolves... Thoughts?🤔
scott.mason297d ago
He might be right. Not sure any manager could get a proper tune out of this squad right now.
If William Saliba is not fit, do you think Wolves could cause Arsenal some issues by going tall and strong up top?
cameron296d ago
I think the main problem is that our delivery into the box is quite simply, not good enough
tom.procter297d ago
Worth trying the Tolu and JSL partnership. If Saliba can't play their aerial threat could cause problems
Should Jhon Arias be dropped from the Wolves starting XI against Arsenal? 🤔
tom.procter297d ago
Arias just cannot start after that United display. Give me Fer or Mane pls Rob
scott.mason298d ago
With Arsenal having issues at CB, Hincapie and Timber are not the tallest or physically imposing players. I would bench Arias and go JSL and Tolu up top, and really use their strength and height to Wolves' advantage.

8 PM Premier League kick-offs are ridiculous when fans can’t even get home by train. Should late kick-offs be scrapped?
tom.procter297d ago
What an absolute joke
scott.mason297d ago
Terrible planning by the Premier League, all for the benefit of broadcasters. Wolves fans will be left rushing to make the few buses back to Wolverhampton, or risk having to stay in the capital for the night.

Wolves completed the league double over Arsenal in 2020/21, courtesy of a Joao Moutinho screamer 🔥
tom.procter297d ago
Happier times. Absolutely dreading what they could do to us this weekend
scott.mason298d ago
Not sure even the most optimistic of Wolves fans will have a positive prediction vs Arsenal 😅
