It\u2019s many of the fans too. <\/p>\n<p>The feelings of dissatisfaction with the squad and more importantly, a lack of investment in the squad, have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molineux.news\/news\/what-a-waste-fans-are-all-saying-the-same-thing-after-wolves-winless-pre-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">led Wolves fans down a pessimistic path<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>But a result is possible. The primary thing for Pereira to focus on is the unenviable task of stopping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molineux.news\/news\/one-very-worrying-statistic-for-wolves-and-vitor-pereira-as-man-city-prepare-for-molineux-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Erling Haaland, who has never failed to score on opening day<\/a>.
