Hello I'm Nathan Judah that is Mr Liam Keane and for the final time this season is our post-match
00:15
analysis video. Wolverhampton Wanderers won, Brentford won, they stopped the rot Liam they
00:22
were going into this game with three defeats in a row but thankfully they got a point today they
00:28
finished 16th in the table not what they wanted to do they start the day in 14th but overall it's
00:34
been a successful season from December. Yes yes in context it's been a successful season for Vitor
00:42
Pereira and for a lot of these players yeah Wolves were heading in one direction and that was down
00:47
they were hurting towards relegation Vitor's come in they made some additions in January and we're
00:54
in a position now where the final day of the season was relatively relaxed. Performance-wise
00:59
was mixed, much better the second half I felt, maybe still not as clinical or as good going forward as
01:06
they should have been in previous weeks but a fantastic goal against the equaliser and
01:11
Wolves are probably just about good value for a point really and I think you know phrasing it as
01:16
stopping the rot and it's quite important not ending the season with four straight defeats I think is
01:22
really key so hopefully they can take that into the summer and it's gonna be a big one. It's a huge
01:29
one for them look in terms of this game and we we were at Crystal Palace on Tuesday night and it was
01:33
awful on Tuesday night mistakes galore and it was a bad mistake really that led to to Brent for Brentford's
01:40
only goal of the game. Yeah and it was just before that there was a mistake as well I mean Totti had made an error
01:46
the end of Kevin Sharla had a shot and that was saved and Saad's got the ball in his hands rolls out
01:52
to Ignorey and just makes a complete hash of it exchanges a pass with Cunha, Cunha's pass back
01:58
into him isn't great but he does control it and he does then turn into trouble so for me it's more on Ignorey than it is Cunha
02:05
and oh that's Vitor going past now look waving at there we go he loves it get him on the pitch
02:15
Vitor come and do the video come and do the video now post match analysis we've just said you've done a great job
02:22
for a drink afterwards I look forward to it see you soon have a good holiday thanks Luis
02:35
oh both both red wine from Douro, Douro Valley beautiful
02:43
amazing the best we'll see you soon in preseason take care cheers guys good holiday
02:53
I don't know if that's all going to stay in is that all going to stay in I don't know
02:57
I'll have to see that was Vitor Herrera by the way if I do that in
03:04
we'll hopefully go to preseason if we get a sponsorship we'll see how it goes
03:10
yeah I mean with the goal with Ignorey yeah it's an error it's a mistake and then
03:16
Brentford get a tiny little bit of luck I mean this has a shot blocked it falls back to Norgard
03:20
and it's an easy pass into Mbuemo for a tap-in but it was frustrating really because I thought
03:26
Wolves had a decent of 10 minutes looked after the ball really well I thought Charles Gomez was excellent
03:30
today and had a really good start to the game and then as soon as the mistake started creeping
03:34
there was a couple as I say before the 8-0 situation and the goal a couple that crept in
03:38
which they have done as you mentioned with Palace and other games recently mistakes have crept into
03:41
their game and they never really recovered no the rest of the first half and they went one
03:47
down inside 20 minutes the rest of the half was wasted and they had to come out much better in the
03:50
second without being you know excellent I thought they were definitely better in that second half
03:55
definitely better but it needed some kind of a impetus some kind of yes moment of quality just to
03:59
get the stadium into life because it was quiet it was quiet all afternoon really
04:04
and my word I mean look it was very much a route one situation I do into Jorgen Strand Larsson look
04:11
only on the pitch for a matter of minutes shows how important he was I mean we're also playing with
04:14
10 at times sorry Gonzalo Geddes but but not you know with with Strand Larsson on the pitch it gives
04:20
them impetus it makes them look more threatening knocked down and my goodness I mean look the fans are
04:26
quite frustrated Marshall Minnets he's finishing this season and we know how good his work rate is
04:31
but if he's gonna have a hit the back of the net and do it in style in front of the south bank I
04:39
mean it was incredible look probably not goal of the season but I tell you what it would have made
04:44
the highlight reel 100% would have made the highlight reel um the same as what you just said
04:48
initially I've got to give some credit to to Larsson it's a brilliant flick on it yeah beautiful it's
04:54
very so well so effortlessly conceptually it's very simple to do that um but it's not easy in a
05:00
to to actually pull that off physically um great leap great flick on and that just sets it up perfectly for
05:06
Minetsi who by the way as we always say it never stops running constantly running makes runs attacking
05:12
runs and all of a sudden he's back on Wolves' six yard box defending um and he did that tirelessly again
05:17
today and he makes that brilliant run it just lands and sits perfectly for him and my god what a strike
05:23
oh my god I mean it's the dream strike yeah and I spoke to him I interviewed him downstairs afterwards and
05:28
um yeah yeah yeah yeah I said um Nathan said his best he said oh good who who's that guy and uh
05:35
and when he was talking about the moment he sort of he sort of struck it and he's like it's that
05:40
moment you know when you've hit it it's that it's clean beautiful you've caught it well you've caught
05:44
it really nicely beautiful goal brilliant finish and I love the celebrations as well and I'm pleased that
05:49
um that we'll talk about it more in the pod which we're going to record after the after this but
05:53
I'm really pleased with him personally and a player that's come into a little bit of
05:58
stick sometimes fairly sometimes I think unfairly yeah but look I mean when you look at I mean look
06:03
of course Agba do is the one who's going to hit the headlines for his transfer in January
06:07
but tell you what and Vitor said many times Marshall Minetzi what he's done since he's been here has been
06:13
incredible and really is his work rate is off the ball work but to get a goal like that and the final
06:20
strike here this season I think is very very important and we'll stand him in good stead going into into
06:24
next year look and then all of a sudden different game crowd comes alive there's a few half chances
06:29
Cuny's got a couple wasn't at the races day himself really um but Wolves could have won it in the end
06:33
but I think 1-1 was a fair result I think they would have taken that I know they dropped a couple of
06:37
places in the league but to to finish this season with a draw going into the summer I think is I think
06:43
we'll all take that really yeah I think just against a side that would go had chance of getting into
06:46
Europe by the way and a good side uh Brentford they really are I don't think Brentford actually
06:51
at their best today either by any means but um and that was frustrating with giving them that goal
06:55
and just giving them you Vitor spoke on Tuesday about giving gifts and that's exactly what Wolves did
06:59
but yeah look Wolves not not a side about their best it wasn't the the the best uh game to watch I don't
07:05
think however as you say Wolves get that that equaliser the corral comes alive the game comes alive and
07:11
Wolves were the better team they finished they finished the the team stronger um and were able
07:15
to give Tom King a little uh yes a little moment as well yeah fair play to him so um so yeah so I
07:22
think with with that you know the game uh in context and as a whole a point was probably about right
07:30
and it was important just not to to lose it I think to avoid defeat and go into the summer with the
07:34
fans having had that moment and Marshall Mletzi's goal and now you focus on making sure this team
07:40
cohesive unit of a team is competitive and stronger into next season because they they could do
07:46
something under Vitor but they've got to have the tools to do it they do absolutely and um
07:52
they're going to have to invest as well which is very very important look we're going to talk about
07:55
the scenes after full time I think a little bit more in depth in the podcast but you know the likes of
08:00
Mateus Cunni the likes Nelson Semedo it did seem like it was a farewell it did um I think Semedo was a bit
08:07
emotional out there um totes emotion yeah totes emotion um we're expecting Srabia to go uh with
08:13
with his contract being up Semedo obviously he's still got that decision to make but we've always
08:17
said all along that it's more likely he's going to go than not I mean to be really honest the main
08:21
reason he hasn't made that decision yet is because the offer from Wolves is too good it's so good and
08:26
very generously I'll take it I'll definitely take it he's got to at least consider it and then we've
08:30
Kunja um very sort of I think he was a little bit unsure about what to do he stuck around towards
08:37
the back end of the group yeah didn't wasn't really short to do then had a moment with the South Bank
08:41
and then Jao Gomez was trying to push him a bit further a bit closer had that moment where he was
08:46
like right okay thanks yeah it wasn't as euphoric as probably you would he would have had a couple of
08:51
months ago but look that's what's happened and that's you know part of Mateus Kunja's doing we all
08:55
know he's a world-class striker we all know that he will be moving on and you know good look to him
09:00
he's scored some important goals this season people haven't forgot that and there's a lot of
09:04
people there I think in the South Bank are wanting to say thank you and fair play we want to say thank
09:07
you thank you to you thank you to you guys for for watching all these videos this season because
