FURIOUS WOLVES FANS HAVE LOST IT WITH ONE PLAYER AFTER CONCEDING SHOCKING SECOND-HALF GOALS WHICH LEAD TO 1–4 DEFEAT VS MAN UNITED FC
Wolves supporters were left angered and disheartened on Monday evening after their side collapsed to a disappointing 1:4 defeat at Molineux against Manchester United a result triggered by a string of costly second-half mistakes. At the centre of the storm was midfielder Andre, who finished the night with another underperformance, drawing widespread criticism from fans across social media.
A STRONG FIRST HALF… THEN TOTAL COLLAPSE
Wolves entered the match with I hope of having positive performances, and their first-half showing reflected that. The home side pressed aggressively, kept possession well, and created two promising opportunities that forced sharp saves from the Manchester United goalkeeper.
Despite going behind early, Wolves recovered and equalised midway through the half with a well-worked move finished smartly at the back post. Momentum appeared to shift in their favour, and the Molineux crowd responded with renewed belief.
But the optimism evaporated almost immediately after the interval.
A sloppy turnover in midfield initiated by a loose touch from Andre sparked Manchester United’s second goal. The visitors’ counter-attack sliced through Wolves’ stretched structure, and within seconds the ball was in the back of the net. The goal restored United’s lead and completely destabilised the home side.
Five minutes later, another lapse in concentration allowed United to add a third. Wolves’ defensive line, slow to react and poorly positioned, failed to deal with a simple pass over the top. With confidence shattered, the hosts never recovered.
United’s fourth goal, arriving in the 78th minute, sealed a miserable night for Wolves and prompted a wave of early exits from frustrated supporters.
ANDRE UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT AFTER DIFFICULT NIGHT.
Andre has been a regular starter this season and has shown flashes of quality, but Monday’s performance will go down as one of his poorest in a Wolves shirt. His 5.5 rating the lowest of the match was a reflection of both individual errors and his struggle to cope with the tempo and physicality of United’s midfield.
BBC Sport analysis highlighted concerns about his distribution, noting that he lost possession more times than any other Wolves midfielder. His misjudged pass that led directly to United’s second goal became the turning point the moment that shifted the contest decisively in the visitors’ favour.
His defensive contribution also came under scrutiny. Several duels were lost in key areas, and his positioning during transitions left Wolves exposed repeatedly.
While no single player is responsible for a 1–4 defeat, Andre became the focal point of fan frustration due to how avoidable the errors appeared.
SUPPORTERS REACT: “HE SWITCHED OFF AND WE PAID FOR IT”
The Wolves fanbase did not hold back in post-match reaction across social media platforms. Many expressed disappointment not only with the result but with the nature of the goals conceded.
One supporter wrote:
“We were in this game until Andre switched off. That mistake killed us. After that, the whole team fell apart.”
Another posted:
“I’m tired of these sloppy errors. Premier League players cannot be gifting goals like this. We’re making life far too easy for teams.”
Some fans, however, urged caution, reminding others that individual players are often scapegoated after heavy defeats.
A more balanced comment read:
“Andre had a bad one, yes, but the whole team folded. Let’s not pretend this is on one guy. The reaction after the second goal was embarrassing from everyone.”
Still, the majority of online discussion centred around the need for Wolves to tighten midfield discipline and avoid gifting opponents momentum through careless mistakes.
TACTICAL QUESTIONS FOR EDWARDS ROB
Edwards Rob now have several issues to address ahead of their next league fixture. The midfield’s inability to handle United’s press, as well as the defensive unit’s collapse after the second goal, raises both tactical and psychological concerns.
The decision to keep Andre on the pitch after the error was questioned by some pundits, who felt an early substitution might have helped steady the rhythm of the team. However, others noted the lack of experienced midfield options on the bench.
The technical area appeared increasingly tense as United’s lead grew, with coaching staff urging players to remain compact and disciplined instructions that were not consistently followed.
BBC SPORT VERDICT
Wolves will see this defeat as a giant step backwards. For 45 minutes they were competitive, organised and threatening. But once the second-half mistakes crept in, the discipline, intensity and structure collapsed entirely.
Andre’s difficult evening will dominate discussion, but the reality is broader: Wolves must rediscover resilience and reduce the costly lapses that have undermined their campaign.
The response in the next match will speak volumes. A performance like this cannot be repeated and the fans have made that painfully clear.
