Gary O’Neil believes Wolves’ preparation in training was key to their hard-fought win over Manchester City.
A switch to a back five saw Wolves put in a spirited display full of defensive discipline and counter-attacking threat.“We worked hard on it for three days with the players and the game looked exactly as we’d prepped for, which is helpful,” O’Neil said.
“We had discipline, understanding and quality as well. It was a really impressive performance from the boys. “I was like ‘come on mate, we’ve done six minutes, we’re going to need 90 of this on Saturday, so keep your brain switched on’. Molineux was loud and hostile from the first whistle as the supporters jeered former player Matheus Nunes, who went on strike in late August to force through his £53million move to City.
“Rodri missing is a big plus. He makes that team tick a lot better and when he’s the pivot, it’s a lot more difficult to stop.
