"It's amazing": Journalist drops big Wolves claim involving Bruno Lage

Journalist Sami Mokbel reckons that it’s “amazing” Wolves are in the top half under Bruno Lage.

Wolves started badly under the Portuguese manager but have been one of the most consistent teams in the league of late and are now firmly in the conversation to qualify for Europe.

When they started the season with three straight Premier League defeats without scoring, it had the makings of a tough first campaign in English football for Lage.

But since collecting their first victory at Watford in mid-September, Wolves simply haven’t looked back.

In the last four months, only Crystal Palace, Manchester City and Liverpool have beaten the Midlands outfit, while 13 points from their last five matches has seen Lage’s side play themselves into potential European contention.

Following their FA Cup fourth round tie against Norwich on Saturday, Wolves host Arsenal before travelling to Tottenham four days later in what could be two crucial games in their hopes of gate-crashing the top-six.

Wolves’ campaign has been built upon a rock-solid defence which has conceded just 16 goals all season, bettered only behind leaders Manchester City.

Up the other end, they have score the third-fewest, although their 19 goals have earned them an impressive 34 points from 21 games, putting them in touching distance of the top four.

Given their lack of goals, Mokbel has been impressed with the job that Lage has done at Molineux.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “I think it’s amazing they are where they are in the table, without having scored many goals. They’re very solid at the back, led by Conor Coady.”
