On the weekend, Wolves faced another defeat and Lee Naylor has raised concerns about a decision made by Gary O’Neil during the match against Liverpool.
Following six games, Wolves find themselves at the bottom of the Premier League table. Fans are worried about the team’s inconsistency in playing and inability to secure points from advantageous positions.
While it was anticipated to be a challenging start due to the fixtures, Wolves have been underwhelming given the potential they have displayed. Despite showing glimpses of quality football against Liverpool, their second-half strategy, especially in the final stages, was questionable.
Naylor has criticized O’Neil for substituting Jorgen Strand Larsen, suggesting that it was a mistake to take off the player who could have provided a physical presence up top. Instead, Wolves struggled to make an impact in the attacking third, and Hwang Hee-chan failed to make a significant contribution after coming on.
Former Wolves full-back Andy Thompson also questioned O’Neil’s decision to substitute Strand Larsen, noting that the player had been involved in the build-up to the equalizer. Overall, the substitution was deemed as strange and ultimately costly for Wolves in their pursuit of a positive result.
