After 17 games, Wolverhampton stand with four points in the Premier League. Although Wolves have struggled since Nuno Santo left the club, this is the Championship level that sends the club out of the Premier League. Even last season’s top scorer, Jørgen Strand Larsen, has been a shadow of himself. With 1 goal, the Norwegian national team striker the supporters loved last season has felt the “scapegoat” treatment. A treatment that now needs to be processed.
Although couch experts and supporters expect overpaid football players to deliver like machines, players are and will remain human beings. Just look at last season’s top scorer Mo Salah, Liverpool’s superstar stands with only three more goals than Strand Larsen. This means little to Wolves supporters when everything is going straight south.

In the Premier League match against Brentford, Strand Larsen missed a penalty, Wolves lost 0-2 at Molineux. Then the Norwegian was met with a deafening bow concert from his own supporters. Now coach Rob Edwards confirms Strand Larsen took the treatment heavily.
“It’s difficult for him. A couple of his coaches and advisors have spoken to him. He has to work his way through this period. He works hard and has a good mentality,” the Wolves coach explained according to the club’s own website.

On Saturday, Liverpool awaits, then we guess Strand Larsen is ready to get revenge. We imagine that the Norwegian national team striker will score a gem like in the national team shirt against the world’s best goalkeeper, Donnarumma, on the Italian’s home ground in November.
Go Jørgen!
