Sam Johnstone was criticized for being “Embarrassing.”

After suffering a terrible 3-0 defeat at Fulham, the Wolves goalkeeper was unfazed by his side’s performance and was in danger of falling further down the Premier League.

“We need to do better because it’s not good enough.” The England international apologised to the fans, saying that we should be embarrassed and that they might not want to hear it.

“We must continue to do our best and keep going.” We need to turn things around quickly because we have some talented players.

Wolves are eight points clear of winning any of their first ten games, which is a rehash of last year’s start, with their 11th victory coming in the process.

They are the league’s worst defense, have only two points, and have lost eight of the ten games.

surviving in the Premier League despite the odds

When asked what went wrong at Fulham, Johnstone responded, “Pretty much everything; I’m being completely honest.

It’s challenging to come up with words. There are a lot of emotions [in the dressing room] and it’s very challenging.

After the final whistle, the Wolves supporters again barracked the players and resentfully attacked Pereira.

Following a Fulham break, Emmanuel Agbadou was sent off in the 36th minute for a comical Yerson Mosquera own goal, all of which matched the end of a side that was doomed for failure.

The Craven Cottage display undoubtedly sounded the alarm bells, as Pereira claimed on Friday that he did not believe the club was in crisis but rather that it was a “crisis of results.”

No Premier League team has won more than two games after ten games, and 14 of the previous 20 teams lost without winning in ten of those ten games during the top-flight season.

After drawing 2-2 with Crystal Palace on November 2nd, Wolves managed three in the previous season. Although Gary O’Neil replaced him with Pereira, the situation seems less promising this time around.

I don’t know how Wolves can survive, but I can say that last season, did you think it was possible for a club like Wolves to win six games in a row. Pereira remarked.

It’s challenging to win six games in a row, even for the big teams. My response is this.

Will Pereira, however, have the ability to reverse the situation?

I’m doing my best and working hard to support both my team and players. The club’s faith in our work is invincible, he continued.

We are trying everything, changing the system, changing the players, to help the team perform and get results, according to the statement from me and my staff.

With 15 minutes left, Wolves were defeated by Burnley’s team, who were happy to accept a point, and Wednesday’s 4-3 home loss to Chelsea at least had spirit and fight.

Pereira was disappointed by how bad things were during his tenure at Fulham because they made mistakes, including Santi Bueno’s error in Ryan Sessegnon’s opener.

The Portuguese, whose side last won against Leicester City on April 26, said, “It was the worst performance.”

My team didn’t perform as well as Fulham, in my opinion. Technically speaking, we weren’t there, albeit with some errors. We conceded the first goal by missing a lot of passes and movements.

Debriefing intended “to find the solutions”

A summit with Pereira and his players is expected to take place on Monday to discuss the events.

The manager avoids speaking too much after games because he fears his message will be lost or said inappropriately. In order to try to solve their problems, discussions will take place at their Compton training base.

Because we didn’t play at the level we should, Pereira said, “we need to have a conversation to understand what happened.”

“I enjoy listening to players and hearing what they thought on the field, both tactically, physically, and mentally. We are frustrated and it’s impossible to have a conversation in the dressing room, so I have to speak with them right away.

We will talk during the next training session, and I will try to understand what was lacking because we must play at a higher level. More levels exist than what was demonstrated.
