Lisandro Martinez doesn’t believe Wolves deserve to be bottom of the Premier League after Manchester United drew 1-1 with them. The result gave Rob Edwards his first point since his appointment at Molineux at the beginning of November.
Wolves are on course to go down as the worst team in Premier League history – Derby recorded just 11 points in 2007/08 – but they left Manchester with a result on Tuesday. Joshua Zirkzee scored thanks to a heavily deflected strike in the 27th minute, however, Wolves drew level on the stroke of half-time following a headed goal from defender Ladislav Krejci.
That goal was enough to ensure that the points were shared. Martinez spoke to Sky Sports after the final whistle, and he admitted that United cannot fail to win against such opponents at Old Trafford.
“Really disappointed,” said Martinez. “We can’t come here at home and draw this game. We have to win when we play at home. The opponent has to suffer and we didn’t get the three points.
“Very frustrating. The team gave everything. Just for a few moments, we conceded in the last moment of the first half, that can happen. We can deserve that, it’s our responsibility.
“We played well with the ball in the first half but then we dropped too much, couldn’t press their centre backs. They were comfortable with the ball and they started moving around and creating spaces.”
The defender added that he believes Wolves should not be bottom of the league. “Wolves don’t deserve the place they are, it’s a strong team. We respect them,” he said. “We have to take more risks. The lads are very disappointed, we expect better. We have to take it and go for the next one.”
United are sixth in the Premier League, sitting on 30 points after 19 games.
