You cannot make the mistakes Wolves made against a City side who physically and technically are much stronger. I expected the defeat but 4-0 is not a fair reflection, and had we taken chances it would have been closer.

But a year later, when Pedro Neto departed, there was no player ready to fill the void, and the winger’s ability to give Wolves a wide, direct outlet has still not been replaced. And now, after the departure of Cunha and Ait-Nouri, they are relying on new faces to hit the ground running to fill the void. It is an unrealistic ask.
