Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Mario Lemina has urged his teammates to be more effective in possession against Leeds United. Despite managing 58 percent of the ball last weekend, Julen Lopetegui’s side had just seven shots to Newcastle United’s 19 and ultimately lost the game 2-1.
By contrast, one week earlier, Wolves created eight opportunities to Tottenham Hotspur’s 21, had 46 percent possession, but won 1-0. Defeat at St James’ Park left the Wanderers just three points above the relegation zone.
Lopetegui has excelled since his appointment in November, taking Wolves from 19th up to 13th. However, inconsistency continues to plague their season and a home clash against Leeds could be billed as a six-pointer.
