I honestly think that Pre-Lopetegui, five years on Wolves have regressed.
A starting XI circa 2017 of;
Ruddy
Boly
Coady
Bennett
Douglas
Neves
Saïss
Doherty
Jota
Bonatini
H. Costa
Is better than the 2022 versions of;
Sa
Semedo
Collins
Kilman
Jonny
Moutinho
Neves
Nunes
Podence
Jimenez
Adama
Midfield is the only area you'd say has improved in five years. Yes some players have suffered a loss in form from what they were but even that points to a problem with recruitment.
If I were a betting man, my money would be on the '17 team to beat the '22 team. Let's hope recruitment improves significantly under Lopetegui. It needs to.
