Pereira was finally able to sell Wolves who had fewer touches than Johnstone
Wolverhampton Wanderers beat Bristol City in the third round FA Cupto advance to the next stage. Goals from Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rodrigo Gomes put Wolves 2-0 up, before Bristol City’s Scott Twine made it 2-1 by half-time.
Vitor Pereiraon the other hand, she had a smaller property (49%) of Bristol, who had 51% of the possession, but Wolves managed to create five ‘big chances’ while the Robins failed to manage any of their six shots in the game.
Along with the scorers, the debut appearance of the central defender Emmanuel Agbadou caught the eye, after he moved to the club from Reims for around £16.6m this week.
Agbadou’s debut performance
The 27-year-old made his debut for Wolves against Bristol, having he has already played 15 games this season in Francecontributing three clean sheets in 1343 minutes played.
The centre-back brings leadership along with his match-winning qualities, both on the ground and in the air.
In Wolves’ 2-1 win at Ashton Gate, Agbadou played the whole game, winning four of his five bouts on the groundone of his three aerial tackles, two interceptions, one tackle and four clearances in the game.
But as well as the good performances, there has been one Wolves man in particular who has come under scrutiny in recent weeks, and could find himself on the way out, after another poor performance, to be hooked after 75 minutes.
Wolves star whose time is up
Hwang Hee-chan went through his ups and downs at Wolves, made 111 appearances for the clubscoring 24 goals, seven assists and a total of 6,248 minutes played.
The 28-year-old has been on a hot streak of goals in Wolves colours, but that’s it scored two goals in 672 minutes so far this season.
And his performance against Bristol didn’t just help his case 32 touch control – which was even fewer than goalkeeper Sam Johnstone (50) in at-bats – while completing 75% of his passes correctly and losing possession seven times.

The 28-year-old has been linked with a move away in the January transfer window – amid interest from West Ham United – and this performance won’t have fans begging him to stay. Hwang didn’t make a single key pass in the game, both of his shots were off target and his only ‘big chance’ of the game was missed.
The forward clearly hasn’t given up, still winning three of his five tackles on the ground and making a tackle in the game, but the output and creativity weren’t the required standards, especially to earn more consistent minutes in the Premier League. forward.
When you consider the form of other attacking players at Wolves at the moment, such as Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen, you can definitely see why Hwang is now considered expendable, and a sale could allow Pereira to make his moves in the window.
