Wolves are on the brink of a crisis in the Premier League as Gary O’Neil struggles to steer them away from the relegation zone. With just one win in 20 games and rooted to the bottom, the pressure is mounting on O’Neil to find a solution quickly.
Despite various tactical changes and formations, including shifts between back four and back five, Wolves have failed to find consistency this season. Tony Cascarino has criticized O’Neil for his inability to settle on a preferred setup even after 10 games into the campaign.
As the team continues to leak goals while struggling to find the net, O’Neil’s job is increasingly at risk. However, Cascarino believes that captain Mario Lemina could be the key to turning their fortunes around, emphasizing the midfielder’s importance in shoring up the defense.
For Wolves to avoid the looming threat of relegation, O’Neil must urgently address the team’s defensive frailties and inspire a change in their current trajectory.
