Wolves Defender David Moller Wolfe Brands Latest Defeat ‘Embarrassing’ Before Man Utd Match
Wolverhampton Wanderers defender David Moller Wolfe described his team’s recent performance as “unacceptable” and “embarrassing” following a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. This loss was part of a troubling stretch under new head coach Rob Edwards, who has not yet secured any points or goals in his first three matches.
Wolves’ Struggles Continue
The team has not won a Premier League match since April, raising concerns about their current form. Moller Wolfe expressed his frustration, sharing, “It was such an important game for us—the players, the club, the fans—and then to show up like that in the first half was quite embarrassing.”
Poor Performance and Recent Changes
The latest defeat has put more pressure on the squad, which has seen a significant turnover in players. Important figures such as Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Nelson Semedo were replaced by new signings, many of whom lack Premier League experience. The recent transfer strategy has raised eyebrows among fans and analysts alike.
New Signings Overview
| Player | Previous Club | Transfer Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Tolu Arokodare | Genk | £23.4 million |
| Fer Lopez | Celta | £21.3 million |
| Jhon Arias | Fluminense | £15 million |
| David Moller Wolfe | AZ Alkmaar | £10 million |
| Jackson Tchatchoua | Hellas Verona | £10.8 million |
| Ladislav Krejci | Girona | Loan |
Moller Wolfe noted that the new signings need time to adjust, stating that individual performances cannot be solely critiqued. The defender acknowledged that the transition from the Dutch league to the Premier League is significant, leading to an adjustment period for newcomers.
Looking Ahead to Manchester United
As Wolves prepare for their upcoming clash against Manchester United, Moller Wolfe emphasized the importance of training and teamwork. He believes that under Edwards, training intensity has improved, and this will eventually translate into better on-field results.
He stated, “We have to show up with energy, passion, and play with our hearts. Then the quality will come.” With their current form under scrutiny, this mindset will be crucial for Wolves as they hope to turn their season around.
Fans will be eagerly watching as Wolves take on Manchester United on Monday, December 8, with the hope of breaking their recent streak of defeats.
