Wolves Lessons at Palace: Penalties, Officials, and Armstrong’s Impact
ANDREW BENNETT SHARES HIS KEY TAKEAWAYS FOLLOWING WOLVES DEFEAT TO CRYSTAL PALACE
Penalties, Penalties, Penalties…
Taking a look at Tolu’s penalty record which was 4 missed in 9 before today’s missed penalty. When players such as Krejci 13/15 scored across his career and Adam Armstrong with a solid record in the Championship you must question how Arokodare is selected by Rob Edwards as the Wolves penalty taker, especially after his shocking take in this game.
Bellegarde and one of Andre / Gomes
As Bellegarde looks to find his fitness it is clear that Andre and Gomes performances have improved when they are not alongside one another. Two talented Brazilian internationals however with similar profiles, struggle to play together. Until the red card for Krejci Wolves midfield pair of Bellegarde and Andre put in a very professional away performance.
Officials again
Nothing new in English football but officials hit new lows. The first half saw Will Hughes commit two professional fouls receiving a booking for the first and a warning for the second, probably fair putting Hughes on a tightrope.
Switch to the second half and Krejci is booked twice in three minutes with the second absolutely horrific. Clearly the Czech defender didn’t think the ball had gone out of play and was clearing the ball up the pitch when he had it under control, a farce of a second yellow card offence which totally changes the dynamic for the Wolves and arguably cost any chance of a point for Wolves.
Looking forward to more Armstrong
Until he was withdrawn for Wolfe as Wolves had to sacrifice an offensive player due to the red card. Adam Armstrong was showing a very positive performance connecting the offensive players with the midfield offering a smooth connection between the different phases of play.
From my first Wolves match against Chelsea in 2003 I fell in love with the team and matchday experience. I work in digital marketing and have lived in Germany and Estonia over the past few years, this doesn’t stop me following Wolves and ensuring all my international friends become invested to the Wolf pack. I enjoy football, board games, a pint and travelling always excited to try new things. You will find me in the north bank on a matchday.
