Wolves are still searching for their inaugural Premier League victory this season as they suffered a late defeat against Aston Villa.

Despite a promising start at Villa Park, Wolves were unable to maintain their momentum and ultimately succumbed to a late goal once again. Rayan Ait-Nouri and Mario Lemina were specifically called out for their roles in the loss against Aston Villa.

Journalist Liam Keen, speaking to Express and Star, feels that Wolves deserved at least a point from the match. He criticized the defensive lapses by Ait-Nouri and Lemina, attributing them to Villa’s victory.

The pattern of strong first halves followed by weaker second halves continues to plague Wolves this season, with defensive errors proving costly. The team’s inconsistency in performances has been a major concern, as they struggle to string together a complete 90-minute display in the Premier League campaign.

Gary O’Neil faces the challenge of addressing these issues and instilling confidence in his talented but struggling squad. Despite improvements in the team’s quality compared to the previous season, depth remains a significant issue that needs to be resolved.

Looking ahead, Wolves are set to face tougher challenges, requiring a shift in mentality and approach from O’Neil to turn their fortunes around.
