Gary O’Neil will have the chance to showcase a great player who was sadly unable to play against Bournemouth this coming weekend when Wolves return to action against Luton Town.
Under Gary O’Neil’s guidance, Wolves have advanced this season, but in recent weeks, things have fallen apart.
The Old Gold were poised to contend for the European spots, but O’Neil’s team is currently seven points behind seventh place due to a string of critical player injuries and poor performance.
Wednesday night’s loss to Bournemouth was Wolves’ most recent defeat in the Premier League, bringing their winless streak to six games, but it wasn’t without controversy.
Supporters were incensed by VAR once more when Hwang Hee-Chan’s goal for the hosts was disallowed because Matheus Cunha was judged to have elbowed Justin Kluivert during the build-up. The Brazilian hardly touched Kluivert.
Despite the fact that just one player shone out, O’Neil said that his team’s performance was the worst he has seen all season and refused to accept it as an excuse.
The way Matheus Cunha performed against Bournemouth
Injury kept Cunha out of the 2-0 loss against Arsenal, but he came off the bench to have a significant effect in the last 35 minutes against the Cherries.
The 24-year-old gave a team that appeared worn out and was having trouble keeping up with the calibre of play the visitors were putting on display some much-needed pace.
The aforementioned data depicts a striker who, in his little time on the pitch, proved to be a true nuisance by using his ball-carrying skills and enthusiasm to take the game to the opposition.
This weekend’s match against Luton will almost probably see Cunha start, but he’s not the only aggressive player who should get the start.
