Wolverhampton Wanderers lost their eighth game of the season to Bournemouth at Molineux, and fans questioned goalkeeper Jose Sa’s starting role after the match.
Sa was taken to task for his poor performance in which he shifted the ball into his own net, gave two penalties and failed to save a shot which was labelled as a deflection from the corner, thereby furthering the calls for Sam Johnstone to take over. This means that the need to change goal is well founded based on the hired simple Liquid Sa’s past performance even though he is quite experienced and reliable in the past few games his performance has dipped.
Sa joined the Wolves team in 2021 and since then he has been an important part of this team but recent display brings the conclusion that there might be a change in the position of Johnstone as the first choice of goalkeeper. The establishment shows a lot of interest in Johnstone and his call time this season has been minimal, further meaning the club has benefited from his services and he is their long-term solution in goal.
Sa’s misdeeds, mostly awarding penalties and giving away pricey mistakes exacerbate his current weak disciplines and instability on the ground. With the current issue that Johnstone is facing in Wolves and the need of stability between the posts, may be it’s high time the wolves changed their fortunes in order to secure stability in the goal area in their bid to avoid the relegation.
