Dave Edwards: Chelsea defeat was Wolves' worst performance under Vitor Pereira

I was really disappointed with the performance. Wolves just did not get going in the match. It is a difficult task to go to Chelsea and to try and get a result as they have such a talented squad. They had pressure on them as well with their recent form. 

I felt that the way Wolves play and the way they set up could have caused them problems, but unfortunately, it was the same old issues that led to them conceding goals. 

The manner in which Wolves went behind was so frustrating, and the reaction, ultimately, was not good enough.

They started the game slow and deep, and they were unable to get the ball forward at all. Chelsea got the lead. 

Again, the second phase of a set piece has been a big problem for them. The ball comes back in, and Tosin Adarabioyo finds himself in the box, on his own, with the Wolves backline not getting out quick enough. 

When the ball gets cleared, you have to work so hard to get out as quickly as possible to prevent those situations from happening. Failure to do that proved costly. 

They did get back into it at the end of the half. More because Chelsea dipped, they gave away opportunities, and Wolves got a lifeline before half-time. 

At 1-1, they are in the game despite not playing very well. 

But they give the ball away in midfield, and once the ball comes into the box, Rayan Ait-Nouri needs to sense that Marc Cucurella is the danger and go and impact that. 

Once they went 2-1 down, they really fell away. The third goal was comical again from defending set pieces. They will be so disappointed - it is 19 goals they have conceded from those situations now. 

Jose Sa gets caught underneath the ball, but there are three Chelsea players who all react, and Wolves are just on their heels. It is such a preventable one. 

Premier League football is ruthless, but the most disappointing thing is that Chelsea did not have to work hard enough for their victory. 

They have conceded three goals in the last three games, and it really brings home the situation they are in. 

They are still out of the bottom three, which when you consider the season as a whole, feels fairly miraculous. 

Wolves have got some daunting fixtures on the horizon with Arsenal at home and then Aston Villa at home before making the trip to Liverpool - and they are going to need to find a performance from somewhere. 

There are two things that need sorting, which will bring life back into this Wolves team. One is sorting out Matheus Cunha's contract. If they can do that, and he knows he is going to be at Molineux until the end of the season at the very least - it will help elevate performances. 

When there is uncertainty about your league position, it is not nice having this lingering over them. Getting that done will lift the team - I have no doubt. 

The other is signings. They need signings, and they need them desperately. I still think they need another centre-back, as they are just not defending their box well enough. 

And they need an extra midfielder as well. It is tough for Joao Gomes and Andre at the moment, who are having to go game after game.
