Wolves’ 1-0 win over Manchester United has secured their safety from relegation, but fans have noticed a concerning trend. Jorgen Strand Larsen’s form seems to be impacted by Matheus Cunha’s presence in the team. For the first time in four games, Strand Larsen failed to score when Cunha returned to the starting lineup.
Wolves fans on social media expressed frustration, pointing out that Strand Larsen and Cunha’s playing styles don’t mesh well. Strand Larsen operates as a target man, holding up the ball and waiting for service, while Cunha prefers to dribble and create opportunities. This difference in approach may be why the team’s performances seem to improve when Cunha is absent.
The statistics support the fans’ observations. In the match against Manchester United, Strand Larsen had his lowest-rated performance in five games and failed to register a shot on target. Some fans noted that the team’s dynamics change significantly when Cunha is not on the pitch, with others performing better in his absence.
Some supporters believe that Cunha’s style clashes with Strand Larsen’s, and playing them together may not be the most effective approach. Fans are speculating that Strand Larsen’s form will return to its previous level once Cunha leaves the club in the summer, potentially restoring balance to the front line.
The situation highlights the challenges of team dynamics and player compatibility. Wolves manager Vitor Pereira may need to consider the best way to utilize his players to maximize their strengths and achieve the team’s goals.
