‘Phenomenal’, ‘Unplayable’ – some fans hail another Wolves man after 2-1 defeat
Ruben Neves came away with a lot of praise for his performance in Wolverhampton Wanderers’ 2-1 defeat to Liverpool, but Adama Traore was the standout man on Thursday.
The 23-year-old created numerous chances for his teammates, had opportunities to score himself, frequently took on his opposite marker and drew multiple fouls on the night.
Traore also made an assist for Raul Jimenez, whipping in a fantastic ball for the Mexican international to head home an equaliser.
Adama traore was phenomenal tonight. The games also showed how important Raul is to the side. Hes irreplaceable. Hopefully we put on a show at Old Trafford next week.#wwfc #WOLLIV

Nuno’s work with Adama Traore is there for all to see, but the man himself also credits Tony Pulis with a significant role in his development.
One thing is clear, Traore has listened to those who wanted to help him, and it’s paying off hugely #wwfc— Adam Summerton (@adamsummerton) January 23, 2020

The secret’s out Traore is special, unique, talent.
How can we hope to keep him, Jiménez, Neves et al, simples..@wolves keep Nuno at our club… within FFP rules give him the signings he wants, make him best paid manager. The value he puts on players makes him worth it #wwfc

Against Liverpool, the Spaniard played for 90 minutes, had 42 touches, won one aerial duel, completed 81.3% of his 16 passes, had two shots with 50% accuracy, created two chances, whipped in 10 crosses, made six successful dribbles, drew three fouls and made one assist.
Traore has made 35 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring and creating 15 goals. Wolves’ in-form wide-man has contributed a goal in four of his last eight Premier League outings (incl. Tottenham, Manchester City, Liverpool).
He’s enjoying his best-ever return in the top-flight and continues to link up well with Jimenez – the pair have combined for eight goals in the Premier League this season.
