Liam Keen's Wolves player ratings v Sunderland following poor defeat
Liam Keen rates the Wolves players after their defeat to Sunderland.


Sam Johnstone
The defenders were more at fault for the goals than Johnstone, but the goalkeeper will still be disappointed with the manner of them.
Disappointed: 5
Matt Doherty
The experienced defender lost his marker for the opening goal, which ruined an otherwise solid enough performance where he tried to attack.
Lost marker: 5
Santi Bueno
Bueno was turned a few times and looked vulnerable when trying to recover, in his worst display of recent weeks.
Vulnerable: 5
Ladislav Krejci
The own goal was harsh on Krejci but summed Wolves up. The defender was devastated at the end of the match.
Own goal: 5
Hugo Bueno
Bueno was one of Wolves' better players and he combined well down the left, while also offering an attacking threat.
Attacking: 6
Andre
The midfielder worked hard to keep the ball for Wolves but he was essentially fighting alone and a losing battle.
Hard-worker: 6
Joao Gomes
For all of his quality, J.Gomes let his frustration get the better of him. Too many sloppy passes and some poor shots - with one big chance in particular - saw him struggle.
Poor: 5
Marshall Munetsi
Munetsi got into plenty of dangerous areas, put in some good crosses and worked tirelessly for a goal - but it is unfair to rely on him for creativity when it is not his strength.
Dangerous: 6
Rodrigo Gomes
R.Gomes was also one of Wolves' better performers, with some good link-up with H.Bueno, and he was a threat throughout.
Threatening: 6
Jhon Arias
Arias had some good moments in the game and is starting to look more comfortable in this league, but he has to do more to offer a threat.
Improving: 5
Jorgen Strand Larsen
The striker is clearly still struggling with his Achilles pain and he was a passenger for the majority of this game. Wolves miss his quality, although the service into him has also been poor.
Passenger: 4
Ki-Jana Hoever (for Doherty, 67), 5, Fer Lopez (for J.Gomes, 77), Jackson Tchatchoua (for R.Gomes, 77), Tolu Arokodare (for Arias, 77).
Subs not used: Sa, Agbadou, Toti, Mosquera, Wolfe.
