Krejčí Error Costs Wolves Again | Penalty Miss Adds to Defeat

The anger of the fans, the helplessness of the players and the poverty of the results, because of which Wolves are written in the history tables. They lost 2-0 at home to Brentford on Saturday and are the Premier League’s worst team over the Christmas period with just two points to their name. Ladislav Krejčí (26) also signed for the defeat with an error before the winning goal. After the second goal, the fans booed and shouted at the players that they were not worthy to wear the Wolverhampton shirt.

The English media does not spare the last team of the Premier League. To the address of Krejčí and spol. they report that the team is woeful after losing their tenth game in a row and crouching at the bottom of the table with two points. And there was no Christmas miracle on Saturday either, the first half was miserable from both teams.

After the break, the guests had already gained the upper hand. In the 63rd minute the ball fell behind the Wolves defense and Keane Lewis-Potter scored. “Unfortunately, it was Ladislav Krejčí who completely misjudged the ball and the whole situation in general. The rebound surprised him, it went behind him and probably no one told him at that speed that Lewis-Potter was lurking behind him.” the commentator of the CANAL+ Sport station reported sadly.

Wolves have now gone 21 Premier League games without a win, making them arguably the worst team in the club’s history. They also have the fewest points over the Christmas period. Sheffield United also had two points in the 2020/21 season, but only played fourteen games. Krejci et al. they have three more behind them.

The sullen mood continued after the second conceded goal, when the crowd shouted at the Wolves players that they were not worthy to wear the club’s shirt. The failure was subsequently crowned by a missed penalty.

The one by Jorgen Strand Larsen in the 86th minute was not played well and Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher disposed of it without difficulty. According to the media, this just shows how little self-confidence Wolves players have this season.

The fans also called on the Chinese owners of the club to sell it. The next two matches will again be challenging for Wolves, as they will face Liverpool at Anfield and Manchester United at Old Trafford.
