As Nuno said, must do better defensively. Never seen Boly so shaky but he will improve. Neves class. Jimenez excellent. #wwfc

Didn’t think I could love Neves anymore…. Well it’s possible. Absolutely tremendous today. Without him we would have lost. #wwfc

OPINION
Wolves fans are well aware of Neves’ talents after his breakthrough season in the Championship following a £16million move from Porto last summer, and now the rest of the Premier League is on alert. The Portuguese midfielder was in scintillating form against the Toffees and was one of the sole reasons why Wolves managed to secure a point on their return to the Premier League. Him maintaining that form will be key for Wolves if they want to remain in the Premier League this season, although they will be aiming much higher than that. A draw against Everton is a good place to start, with the Toffees set for a big season under new boss Marco Silva. Things will not get any easier for Wolves next week with a trip to Leicester on the cards, with the Foxes looking to bounce back from an opening day defeat against Manchester United.
