Went to the game hoping to see the team play better than the last game. With a different shape, we’ll see how it works out.
Surprised with the starting XI, with a suitable number of changes, plus taking out the players who are not performing.
For the first quarter of the game, it has been a confidence builder. Plenty of the ball, and the press has not been too bad without any mistakes. We need to switch the play more to our wing backs to expose the Everton backline.
Good team play from the lads for the opening goal shows what we can do when we create chances. Larsen gets them in a huddle after they scored, saying, more of the same, please.
One thing of note: we have not sat back since we scored, and we must keep up the pressure. We can produce good movement on the ball and stop the Everton press toward our goal. So far, so good.
Second half starts, we looked nervous, and the ball retention was not as good as the first half. But we are still in control of the game as Everton try to up the ante by bringing on their big-name players to cause issues. So far, so good; nothing to worry about.
What can we say about the goal of the game? A sublime finish by Tolu to open his account for the club. We deserved this after a good period of play, limiting Everton to shots from distance as our defence kept them out. We need to keep this up if we are going to get out of the situation we are in at this moment.
This has been a morale-boosting win for our side, where we did everything right. This side showed belief it can sort out the problems we have. Keep the faith, people. Vitor deserves credit tonight for getting the intensity into the team, and this was with a back four.

A win that will give us confidence!
A well deserved win overall. First half we dominated them, Munetsi with a nice goal.
Second half they put us under pressure but we dealt well with it and saw it through.
Tolu with a lovely finish.
A battling performance from Wolves, a back 4 could actually work for us.

Krejci organised that backline. What a player.
