Elsewhere, Rayan Ait-Nouri, who additionally might have performed his remaining sport for Wolves, struggled all through. Not solely did he give the ball away for Brentford’s opener, the defender additionally misplaced the ball 9 occasions earlier than being subbed off within the sixty fifth minute.
The worst performer, nonetheless, was Goncalo Guedes, and it’s virtually sure that the Portuguese ahead will probably be on his manner out of Molineux this summer season.
Why Wolves should promote Goncalo Guedes this summer season
Guedes was deployed as a lone centre-forward in opposition to Brentford, however did not make an impression within the remaining third.
The previous Valencia man lasted simply 65 minutes. Throughout his time on the pitch, he registered two pictures off beam, succeeded with three of his six dribble makes an attempt and accomplished solely 20 passes.
There was a second that left the supervisor “livid” within the phrases of Previous Gold reporter Liam Eager, when Munetsi reduce the ball again however the Portuguese made a multitude of the prospect and despatched it huge.
Throughout his 29 league matches this season, Guedes scored simply twice whereas grabbing 4 assists and if Pereira is aiming to take the membership into the highest half of the Premier League desk subsequent season, he shouldn’t be the primary attacking possibility, notably when Cunha departs.
He is lacked a lot pizazz within the remaining third, notably recording a aim conversion proportion of simply 7%, whereas he averaged 0.5 key passes per sport, created two huge probabilities and averaged simply 0.3 pictures on the right track per sport within the prime flight.
These are hardly the statistics of a participant who could make a distinction for the membership within the remaining third subsequent season, and this should guarantee his departure within the coming months.
Dubbed as “lightning fast” by European soccer professional Andy Brassell upon his arrival at Molineux, it is honest to say that he did not dwell as much as his large £27.5m switch charge.
With two years left on his present contract on the membership, now’s the right time for Pereira to money in on him when the switch window opens.
It’s unlikely he can recoup the close to £30m that was spent on him, however any respectable charge would bolster the membership’s switch kitty, little doubt about that.
With Cunha departing too, Pereira should herald one other attacker or two.
