Wolves debrief: Munetsi energy, Jimenez needs support and Krejci boost | OneFootball

Cesar Peixoto’s unbeaten start ended as Wolves lost 4-2 to West Ham United at the London Stadium, where Divine Mukasa scored twice.

The hosts led 2-0 before Marshall Munetsi halved the deficit. Jarrod Bowen and Konstantinos Mavropanos made it 4-1, then a late consolation arrived when Jackson Tchatchoua’s run and cutback for Jordan James saw Mavropanos turn into his own net. According to ExpressAndStar.com, Ladislav Krejci was back on the bench after weeks of uncertainty.

Munetsi’s energy stood out, and he made a goal-line clearance to deny Max Kilman in the first half.

Tchatchoua, criticised since joining from Hellas Verona in 2025, made an early block to thwart Joel Piroe and offered thrust down the right. His driving run and cutback were among Wolves’ brighter moments.

Krejci’s inclusion followed three league omissions amid transfer noise, and he will be staying at the club. The Czechia captain has played only six minutes this season in the Carabao Cup and will bolster a defence that shipped four.

Raul Jimenez struck the bar but was below his usual level. At 35, delivering every three or four days is a demanding ask, so support up front remains vital.

Rodrigo Gomes hit a brace in Saturday’s 4-1 win over Stoke City, while Fer Lopez has three goals and two assists in all competitions. Adam Armstrong has two goals, though he was anonymous on Tuesday, and Wolves still look light at centre-forward despite adding Sean Neave on a season-long loan from Newcastle United.
