A game where Wolves in the first half looked poor, arguably the worst i've seen under Nuno, but putting it into perspective, there quite a few players on the pitch that don't see much game time at all. In truth, Wolves never kept hold of the ball long enough to build an attack. The back three of Batth, Hause and Miranda all looked shaky, all hesitated when in possession of the ball and their play was littered with mistakes.
Swansea's first goal does beg the question, why was Ayew allowed to waltz through so many players and score? if it was Messi scoring it the pundits would be drooling over it. Not one Wolves player wanted to take the responsibility to stop him.
Chances for Wolves in the half were limited, and a blocked Enobakhare effort was as good as it got. Going forward Wolves looked lost and even both Doherty and Douglas rarely ventured forward.
The second half was a massive improvement in my eyes, going forward Wolves looked a threat. Morgan Gibbs-White trying to make things happen around him. The introduction of both Bonatini and Jota lifted Wolves and our tempo of play. Rafa Mir looked like he was struggling in the conditions, but hopefully he has a lot to offer in the near future.
It was good to see Wolves get a goal back and Jota was a danger to Swansea's back line. The Swansea keeper could have done better with Jota's goal, but it's easy to say sat in the stands.
Two moments in the game that really changed the game, one close effort from Jota and then the winner for Swansea. Bony will be happy to get the winner, but from a Wolves perspective Hause's reaction time when the ball hit him and fell to Bony didn't look good. But it happens.
We may be out the cup, but at least Wolves can now concentrate on the league.
