On Saturday evening, Arsenal will be visiting Wolves for a Premier League match. Matt Doherty has cautioned the Gunners that his team possesses the ability to create an unexpected outcome.
Matt Doherty, the Wolves star player, has given a serious caution to Arsenal before their upcoming Premier League match.
As the Gunners prepare to face off against Wolves at Molineux, seeking a boost in their Premier League championship dreams following an unsatisfactory defeat to Aston Villa, caution has been advised by Doherty for Mikel Arteta's team.
The Champions League loss to Bayern Munich piled on added pressure onto Arsenal and with two defeats suffered out of five past visits made to Molineux Stadium indicates that another strenuous match looms ahead.
Doherty observed that the upcoming game was a significant one, as their opponents still had much at stake.
Although uncertain of their previous record at Molineux stadium, he was confident they had never breezed through it effortlessly.
He anticipated yet another challenging match for them; after all, Wolves were known to claim victories against formidable foes.
According to the Mirror, despite Wolves having seemingly little at stake in this season's matches, the team's 32-year-old defender refutes any insinuation that they've lost their drive.
He points out that they have already triumphed over Chelsea twice thus far and taken victories against Man City and Spurs on two occasions each. This has been a recurring theme as long as he can recall - his team has always possessed such capabilities.
Although these other teams may be striving for the championship title, it will not come easily for them.
He expressed, "I believe it's a myth. I haven't witnessed anyone experiencing mental relief in actuality.
No club or management team would ever sanction that kind of conduct to my knowledge.
While the outcomes at season end may sway some people's opinions, this is never the case for us players.
We always play with specific objectives in mind such as achieving higher ranks for additional points and financial rewards."
To us, each point and league position holds significance. The return of their reliable striker pair from the start of the season has provided a boost to O'Neil's team.
During last week's 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest, Hee-Chan Hwang appeared briefly as a substitute.
Additionally, Matheus Cunha made his first start after recovering from a hamstring injury and scored an impressive solo goal that contributed to the brace earning them one point at the City Ground.
Doherty elaborated on the matter, revealing that several players had been sidelined due to injuries.
However, with some of them returning to action now, their positive impact is already evident. Despite having key contributors like Matheus absent for a period, Doherty believes they have managed to weather the storm decently well overall.
Last week, he scored a remarkable goal that I doubt any other player on the pitch could have achieved. Despite encountering three dead-ends, he navigated his way out and placed it perfectly into the top corner of the net.
I can't fathom his level of skill. Whether he's a true number nine or not, and even whether he desires to be one, is unknown to me. In my opinion, he prefers drifting back and actively participating in the game - I envision him more as an attacking midfielder or someone who flanks the main striker."
"I've had the privilege of playing alongside numerous talented teammates, and he certainly ranks among them."
