Some Wolverhampton Wanderers fans react to Conor Coady’s performance.
Some Wolverhampton Wanderers fans aren’t happy with Conor Coady.
Wolves hosted Everton in their Premier League curtain raiser at Molineux today.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side faced 10 men for most of the game after Phil Jagielka’s red card on 41 minutes for a lunge on Jota, but could only draw 2-2.
However, the visitors still led going into the final 10 minutes after a double from Richarlison, either side of Ruben Neves’s equaliser shortly after the centre-back’s dismissal.
And it’s Coady who is being criticised for being unable to prevent at least one of the goals.
The 25-year-old, a £2 million signing in 2015, played a big role in helping Wolves win promotion to the Premier League last season, but some fans of the West Midlands outfit reckon that the big time could be a bit too much for him.
Raul Jimenez bagged an 80th-minute winner to spare Wolves’ blushes and earn them a point, but the game threw up plenty of food for thought for Nuno.
It was a rude awakening into the quality needed to survive in the Premier League, let alone thrive, and no Wanderers fan or player will be taking anything for granted despite a brilliant transfer window during the summer.
