    Crystal Palace 0-0 Wolves

    While there's been a goal at Anfield, it's been a quieter start at Selhurst Park. Fabio Silva hooking an effort high and wide after Palace failed to clear a corner is the best we've had so far.

    Former Everton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Brilliant finish. He just hung around the edge of the penalty area and the deliver in was pretty decent, an out-swinger.

    It just went through the entire pack and he picked up the flight of the ball superbly. Lovely half-volley and a great connection with it.

    It is a brilliant finish and great start from Liverpool. really, really sloppy start from Aston Villa.

    He [Emery] will be furious with his team. They have started so slow and so sloppy.

    Aton Villa have just ambled in possession. They have got themselves to blame for a really poor start.

    A first goal for the club!

    A dream start for Liverpool as a corner comes in from the right wing from Trent Alexander-Arnold, it finds its way to Dominik Szoboszlai and he drills it through a crowded penalty area and it flies into the net.

    It's an attractive game for an Aston Villa side who have recovered so well after that opening-day defeat at Newcastle.

    Steve: For once, Reds should make sure that Wataru Endo be given a chance to play with 10 team-mates.

    Anon: £200m - do the deal, enough cover to get us through easy Europa League group, then buy in January. Probably had best of Salah in any case.

    Anon: The problems with VAR could be easily fixed by bringing in a challenge system as in tennis and cricket. If a team thinks a decision is 100% wrong then they challenge it, simple. We need to stop scrutinizing every decision, no matter how close they are, that's not what it was for!

    Ali: Re: Dara, if we get rid of VAR there will be certain repercussions, like more gamesmanship and diving. Keep VAR, just improve it.

    Enso Gonzalez is on the bench for Wolves today

    Wolves manager Gary O'Neil says he is "delighted" with the signing of Enso Gonzalez.

    The 18-year-old, who plays as a winger or behind the striker, has moved to Molineux on a six-year deal from Paraguayan side Libertad.

    "He has a lot of talent, a lot of ability and a great work ethic. I've watched the footage of him and all the games I've watched he's always had a great desire to impact the game," O'Neil said.

    "There's a nice grit and determination about him, together with the obvious qualities he has with his left foot and how he's able to carry the ball. He's young, so there's plenty of room for progression as well.

    "He ticks all the boxes of a player you want to bring in, so I'm delighted to have him in the building."

    Despite his talent, O'Neil says the youngster needs some time to settle in at the Molineux.

    "He's very young, coming from South America, so there will be some adaptation time needed.

    "He's also had a long couple of days as well, so we'll need to bed him in and help him with the transition of living in a new place, with a new group, and getting used to a very different league to what he was playing in.

    "But I'm sure he can give us something this year and impact how productive we can be in the final third."

  12. 'Losing Nunes is a big blow for Wolves'published at 13:53 British Summer Time 3 September 2023

    I think when Gary O'Neil first went in, there was a lot of players leaving. Nunes is a big blow for him because he is a very talented player, someone who can control the ball, control midfield areas and O'Neil said he expected him to still be here and now he's gone.

    When you look at where they are they have had a decent enough start, could have easily got points against Manchester United and then they got that win against Everton. They've brought in Tommy Doyle, who has got great talent and that might just fill the void of Nunes.

    They're not miles away at this moment in time from where they were.

    I think Wolves fans would have been worried until they saw that first performance. I think their own performances have changed the perspective at Wolves because of the players and management and the way they have gone about their job so far. I think they've looked good but the worry is still there for the season.

    Amir: Salah should stay so he can get the Freedom of Liverpool. Worth more than £200m a year.

    Pricey: But when it's Kane, Spurs were holding him "hostage".

    Isaac: No chance, it’s not like FIFA where you can flog him for a fortune and sign Ronaldo’s regen for free who is 18 and is fast, why would you sell him when you can’t replace him with someone better.

    Anon: VAR - have a panel of ex-refs and former players instead of using current active refs. We already know the current refs are rubbish.

    Marc: VAR should be time limited. If you cannot tell in 3 or 4 replays in a minute then it's not obvious so leave with ref.
