MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Wolves have lost just one of six home Premier League matches against Everton, winning twice and drawing three times.
Wolves were 3-0 victors in last season's corresponding fixture.
The Toffees are in danger of losing successive league matches against Wolves for the first time since 1979.
Everton have not won at Molineux since a 3-0 victory in April 2011.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves' total of 22 points after 17 matches is their lowest under Nuno Espirito Santo in a top-flight season.
They are winless in their last four league games, both drawing and losing twice. It's their longest sequence since a seven-match run between May and September 2019.
They have won just once in seven league games since since Raul Jimenez's injury at the end of November, drawing twice and losing four.
They are without a clean sheet in 10 league matches, with only bottom club Sheffield United on a longer run.
Excluding own goals, an English player has not scored for Wolves in 91 league matches, dating back to January 2019.
Adama Traore scored in the FA Cup on Friday but has failed to score or provide an assist in any of his last 24 league appearances.
Everton
Victory would see Everton become the seventh club to win 400 Premier League matches.
The Toffees have won five of their eight away leagues fixtures, as many as their final total in both 2019-20 and 2018-19.
They are looking record three successive away wins, each with a clean sheet, for the first time since December 2008.
Carlo Ancelotti's side have let in just four goals in their last seven Premier League fixtures.
Richarlison has scored four Premier League goals in four appearances against Wolves.
James Rodriguez is yet to score or provide an assist in a Premier League away match.

I doubt we will spend his window. I think with us falling foul of FFP last season and with the current Covid situation, the purse strings have tightened until at least the summer.

I think it is silly to say don't criticise. That would mean we could only ever have discussion if you have something positive to say. So for example; all your criticisms of Semedo earlier in the season should never have been said etc.
Everyone supports the team when we are playing. It is unfair to suggest otherwise. Just some people have different opinions on how the game went or how we are progressing; which should be welcomed rather than moaned about.
Personally, I think Nuno has recognised a lot of similar weaknesses to our game that I have. Hence the change of formation (which i was ridiculed for suggesting) and his talk about evolving. I have repeatedly said that I would be happy for a mid-table finish this season if we saw development of our playing style and youth players which sets us up for next season with a few additions. I am probably more patient than a lot of fans with managers and am less likely to flip from an extreme of full support to wanting them out; as seen with the likes of McCarthy and Jackett.
I'm not going to stop giving my honest opinion on each game just because some fans only want to hear a friendly opinion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not suggesting that we cannot watch a game and give honest opinions- good or bad- about the performance. I am simply pizzed off with reading constant criticism of Nuno (not just on here) when I think he needs support, probably now more than ever.
Negativity is like a cancer, it eats into you and spreads. You can call me a happy clapper if you want to, hell you can call me whatever you want, but as long as Nuno Espirito Santo is Wolves manager he will have my full support. Maybe that is because I am old enough to remember past managers who didn't deserve that.

Nobody doubts you give your honest opinion tam. And as I have said we know, because you’ve said, you think the Wolves team under Nuno is boring, negative and in recent games the players have been passive and gone through the motions. I think cinci said recently he’s been bored watching Wolves for 18 months now. And he reminds us regularly he thinks we are a negative team.
Those are your balanced and honest opinions and that’s fine. And there are others on different forums that share those views. Just as I guess it’s fine for me not to share those views and to know that others don’t share them either. Forums are for sharing different views

We are negative and boring, that isn't up for debate.

And before people jump on me, it's a fact we spend among the shortest times in the opposition third each season we have been in the prem.

Oh and let's not get started on Wolves first halves. Not scored in how many is it? Like 70% of them over three seasons now or something. Yeah we are not boring eh for feck sake

I won't call you anything. Nor will I criticise your opinion or tell you not to be positive or negative on anything.
You are entitled to think whatever you want.

It is fine for you not to share them, even if you still state so in a passive aggressive way. It's not fine for you to tell me what I think or what my opinions should mean. That is the road you go down every single time in an attempt to discredit different opinions and make you feel better about your own.
Someone might think you are compensating for something.

Great, keep enjoying the football both of you

Even game, one side without a striker trying to play on counter. Wolves with some promising players doing the same.
If we had a striker(DCL) then maybe the chance for Wolves to hit us on break would have been greater.
