Vitor Pereira and Nelson Semedo both spoke about Marshall Munetsi, after the midfielder scored his first goal for the club against Everton.
Wolves went six points clear of the relegation zone on Saturday, drawing 1-1 with the Toffees.
Wolves were without talisman Matheus Cunha, and as expected, there was a lack of cutting edge in the final third.
But it was still a decent performance considering, and Wolves were good on the ball at times.
Wolves showed good character to come from behind to score, after Jack Harrison had put Everton ahead at Molineux.
And it was Marshall Munetsi who equalised for Wolves, finishing off a great through ball from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, whom some Wolves fans think could be Cunha’s replacement.
After the game, Nelson Semedo dropped his verdict on the midfielder.

This was sixth appearance for Wolves and arguably, he has yet to play in his actual position.
MORE WOLVES STORIES
Munetsi is a box-to-box midfielder by trade.
But we have mostly seen him play every high up for far, often as a second striker.
Against Everton, he operated as an inside right forward, but often moved even more centrally with width coming from Semedo.
He got himself into a great position on the goal and finished well, and Semedo believes that goal had been coming for the Zimbabwe international.
He said on TNT Sports after the game: “Very important goal for us. And for himself as well to give him some confidence.
“I think he’s doing really well. Munetsi is doing really well. I think the goal, it’s something he deserves already. Congratulations to him, and I hope he keeps doing this work and scoring for us.”
Vitor Pereira insists Munetsi will score more goals ‘for sure’
It was good for Munetsi to open his account for Wolves having missed a number of chances prior.
So far, he’s made a decent start at Molineux. It can’t be easy for him to come to a new league and play in an alien position.
But at the very least, Munetsi has shown himself to be a handful, and that physicality is something Pereira values.
The Wolves boss was full of praise for Munetsi after yesterday’s game, agreeing with Semedo that he deserved his goal.
He said: “I think he deserves it because he’s a player that has this speed that I like in a player. He gives everything to try to help the team, and in the end, he scored the goal and he will score more goals, for sure.”
Hopefully, the injury Munetsi picked up against Everton will not prove to be too serious, and he will get the chance to build on his first strike.
