It's international break, baby! But that won't stop Liam Keen & Nathan Judah chatting all things Wolverhampton Wanderers. Wolves are currently bottom of the Premier League, having failed to gain a single point in their opening two matches... What should Vítor Pereira do about this? Can Emmanuel Agbadou find his form again?

00:00So let's take a deep dive into what's really going on to start the season.
00:04And that is not a lot.
00:06Nilpois so far, played three.
00:08So what areas does Beto Pereira need to work on?
00:12What does he need to change?
00:13What does he need to get right?
00:15So we've got the defence, the midfield, the attack,
00:19probably the goalkeepers on the bench as well.
00:22But for this episode, we're going to concentrate on three areas
00:25or three topics.
00:26So the first of all, Liam, and we all know this because
00:29even though they haven't got any points,
00:32a lot of it is because of defensive mistakes,
00:36both individual and collectively.
00:38That is something they have got to sort out when they return.
00:42Without a doubt, you go through each of the games, all four of them,
00:45even the game in the Cup against West Ham, the Wolves did win.
00:48All four of those games have shown moments and lapses of concentration
00:54and mistakes and areas that Wolves can and should find a way to improve.
01:01Look, we've spoken a lot about Emmanuel Agnew.
01:03He's a player that was so good last year for Wolves that our standards
01:08and our expectations of him are so high that we expect him to come back
01:13and be the same player.
01:14He hasn't been so far, but that's one of the biggest disappointments for us.
01:19I think for both of us, if I can say that, that his form,
01:23his overall mistakes and errors, his contribution to the goals
01:26that Wolves have conceded have been really, really poor.
01:30But you've also got Tati Gomez, who's not been at his best
01:32at the start of the season.
01:34You've had a bit of movement on the right-hand side
01:36when Dock has come out in the last game against Everton
01:38and Santi Bueno has come in.
01:40There's a little bit of uncertainty as to who's going to play there.
01:42I know it's something we'll mention in a moment with the new signing,
01:45Lallis Afkrejci as well.
01:46So all of these things just make it a little bit uncertain
01:49with where Wolves are at.
01:51And Vitor has confidence that someone like Emmanuel Agnew will find his form.
01:56But without that spine that we've spoken about,
01:58Agnew is a big part of that.
01:59Without them performing well, this Wolves team is going to struggle.
02:02And of all of the goals I could talk about,
02:05on all of the games I could talk about, there's probably two areas.
02:08One would be the last game, Everton,
02:10how they conceded at the far post for those first two goals
02:14in a really poor fashion, I felt.
02:17And Agnew was at fault for the first one, or partly at fault at least.
02:20And the other one I wanted to mention was the West Ham game,
02:23albeit Wolves won that one.
02:25But the two goals they conceded on that occasion,
02:28and particularly actually the second one,
02:30the Lucas Paqueta goal for me,
02:32was a really disappointing one,
02:33where Wolves allowed a cross to come in too easily and too early.
02:37And Wolves, including Agnew, but the Wolves defence,
02:41lose their man and allow someone to ghost in.
02:43Someone who's not particularly great in the air,
02:45or you would have it as an outstanding attribute of his,
02:48and he ghosts in far too easily and scores.
02:50So for me, they're really big areas of concern
02:52that Vito has to get right over these next few weeks
02:55as Wolves try and get those first points on the board.
