Two very quick goals from Liverpool just before halftime as Wolves came out hunting for goal, which was gifted to them by Santiago Bueno, unfortunately for Wolves it wasn’t enough.
Losing is a reoccurring feeling to Wolves, as they sit bottom of the table with only two points so far this season.
Rob Edwards said, “We showed good character after going 2-0 down.”
“It was really frustrating to concede the second goal in the manner that we did. We just regained the ball, lost the duel, jumped out and opened up spaces for him to score a second. This place can go crazy, it can become like a washing machine with the noise, and you concede quickly.
“We managed to get in at half-time, reorganised, and actually then played very, very well in the second half. We showed a lot of character, bravery, good quality, we were aggressive – the team that I want us to be in the second half, and we can hopefully take a lot from that.
“That's what we needed to do. We challenged the lads to do. We adjusted one or two things tactically, and I thought that worked. Mane I thought was excellent throughout the game, so him moving inside then caused them a lot of problems, and we found him a lot in between the lines, and he was able to create. One or two adjustments, and then the fact that we showed some character, belief and kept fighting and didn't go under, of course we have to take those things.
“*Liverpool*can force you back, like they did in the first half, but then we still need to be aggressive, and we still need to be able to keep the ball better and be braver. We did that in the second half, and we looked a the good team, but it's a results business, and it's another way we haven't got.
“We need to start the game as we finished on Tuesday. The fixtures aren't that kind, Anfield and Old Trafford within three days of each other. A lot of teams might be struggling with injuries, suspensions, people away at AFCON, whatever it might be.
“We'll have to look after the boys, wrap them up. We've lost another one from suspension now [Andre], so we'll see what team we're able to pick. But that feeling, that energy that we had in that second half, we need to take that into the beginning of the game on Tuesday.”
Attention will be turned as Wolves travel once to Old Trafford to play Manchester United on Tuesday night.
