Wolves 2-3 Everton: Fans React to a Depressing Premier League Start at Molineux
Opening day anticipation quickly faded at Molineux as Wolves fell short in a wild 3-2 loss to Everton. The mood matched the result: heavy, frustrated, and undeniably “miserable.” On Always Wolves Fan TV, wey didn’t mince words about the defeat.
Match Overview: An Unhappy Start
Wolves 2, Everton 3 felt like a summary of the day itself: hope followed by disappointment. The game opened with a painful stumble, saw brief moments of promise, but ended with supporters echoing a single theme.
Key Takeaways From Fans on Always Wolves Fan TV:
“Some of it was good and some of it was absolutely terrible, weren’t it?” — Sensational Stan
“I don’t feel very well at all” — Magic Moss
“Disappointed. Disappointed. Sad.” — Marvelous Mike
Fans tried to joke and lift each other’s spirits, but the disappointment was obvious. The team’s slow start, the loss, and early defensive slip-ups felt all too familiar, especially for regulars who have “seen this story before.”
What Happened on the Pitch? Breaking Down the Game
Lineup Challenges and Injury Issues
Wolves began slowly, hampered by injuries, with Hwang starting up top instead of the injured Strand Larsen.
Dave compared the team’s current makeup in a way fans everywhere could understand:
- Premier League-level midfield
- Championship-level attack
- League One-level defence
This mismatch showed up glaringly on the pitch.
Three Goals That Sealed the Loss
Wolves gifted Everton simple chances, and Everton took them. The panel walked through each goal with blunt honesty.
- First Goal: A routine cross, a back-post tap-in. The defence got caught flat and Wolves went down early.
- Second Goal: Wolves failed to clear their lines (again). The ball landed at Everton’s feet just a yard out, and they slotted it home. “Doherty would have smelled the danger,” Dave noted, “that cross never comes in if he’s there.”
- Third Goal: The killer blow. Agbadou, usually solid, made another costly mistake. His poor pass gifted Everton a break. He’d been reliable last year, a possible player of the season, but now fans worry he’s off his game.
Basic mistakes, a lack of organisation, and confusion in defence turned the afternoon sour.
Wolves Fight Back (For a While)
After going down, Wolves found a lifeline. Munetsi delivered a sharp cross, and Hwang finished for Wolves’ first. The stadium finally roared. For a few minutes, Wolves had momentum. But it didn’t last.
Praise for:
- Rodrigo Gomes: Tenacious, relentless, and always chasing the ball back.
- Sasa Kalajdzic: Every time he came off the bench, he caused chaos, particularly in the air. His presence gives Wolves a “different dimension” and a much-needed plan B.
Still, after each Wolves goal came another mistake at the back. The urgency was missing, direction unclear, and nobody seemed eager to take control.
HWang’s Effort Questioned
While Hwang scored, the panel didn’t shy away from criticism. They questioned his movement, strength, and overall impact.
“Just before he scored, I would’ve given him a lawn mower. At least he’d get some work out of it. He’s just not there.”
Panel’s Choices: Man of the Match and Player Ratings
Struggling to Find a Star
It says a lot about the game that fans couldn’t agree on a standout player. The usual “Leamore Windows Man of the Match” contest turned into a series of shrugs.
The consensus? Nobody really stood out. The panel made clear how difficult it was to highlight individual performances after such a frustrating match.
The Bigger Picture: Wolves’ Worrying Start
Everton’s Progress Shows the Contrast
The discussion often pivoted to Everton’s current path. They’ve built an impressive new stadium, welcomed David Moyes back, and have a hopeful fan base looking to the future.
Wolves, by contrast, feel stuck—struggling with identity, planning, and results.
“Everton… new stadium, hope, manager who brings belief. We’re still hoping.”
Manager Vitor Pereira is tasked with rebuilding from scratch, facing a team decimated by departures. The feeling is Wolves are searching for an identity while watching rivals move forward.
Growing Frustration and Club Tension
Supporters weren’t shy about expressing frustration, even in the stands. “Back the team or sell the club” rang around Molineux, echoing the feeling that ownership needs to commit or step aside. Patience with the club’s direction is running thin.
Still, there’s hope Pereira can mould a more cohesive side, given time and backing.
Stick Together, Always Wolves
Wolves will look to bounce back from this stumble. Until then, keep the faith and remember—Always Wolves.

This is what you get after years of disinterest from Fosun and a complete lack of ambition. They are happy with finishing 17th in the PL – no one else is! If you stand still you go backwards but we haven’t even stood still – we have actually made ourselves go backwards! Fosun need to go asap or we are doomed.
