Gary O’Neil knew one thing Wolves couldn’t cope with against Everton – Vitor Pereira has been warned
Wolves will be hoping for a different result against Everton than the one that unfolded at Goodison Park earlier in the season.
The Old Gold last faced the Toffees in December, a fixture that turned out to be Gary O’Neil’s penultimate away game in charge of Wolves.
As Everton beat Wolves 4-0 at Goodison, it’s no surprise that O’Neil was dismissed weeks later, with great change happening at both clubs since the eventful clash.
Both O’Neil and Sean Dyche are gone, with Vitor Pereira and David Moyes now ready to go head-to-head in the return fixture at Molineux.
Gary O’Neil knew what Wolves got wrong against Everton
Wolves’ leadership was lacking against Everton, with the 4-0 defeat putting O’Neil’s future under immense pressure.
What’s concerning about the thrashing back in December is that the Toffees were nowhere near their best and now, the Merseyside giants are ticking under Moyes.
If there was one positive that came from Wolves’ heavy defeat at Goodison, it’s that O’Neil was able to warn Pereira about one thing that contributed to the humiliating loss.
O’Neil said his Wolves squad couldn’t cope with Everton, singling out the physicality of Dyche’s side as one thing his players couldn’t compete with.
