Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters have shown their belief that Italian striker, Patrick Cutrone, will come good for the Old Gold.
The 21-year-old attacker has featured in 19 competitive fixtures for Nuno Espirito Santo so far this term but has only managed to find the back of the net on two occasions (per Transfermarkt).
After equaling his Wolves tally for the season in one game for Italy Under-21s over the weekend (per Sky Sports), Wolves fans showed their belief in him.
Patrick Cutrone scored goals for Italy U21s at the weekend.

Reminds me a lot of Traore last season. Gives 110% each game, bags of potential, but just hasn’t quite got the execution down yet. It will come, just as it did with Traore this season.

Of his nine Premier League games for the Old Gold this term, only three have come as a place in the starting XI and on no occasion has he seen out the full 90 minutes in the league (per Transfermarkt).
Cutrone’s latest Wolves appearance was a one-minute long cameo in the 2-1 victory over Aston Villa (per BBC), and some supporters felt he just needed more time on the pitch.
Never mind a mark out of 10 he should be given more of a chance in the team

6 out of 10 potential and work rate are there, but he’s not had the same service or time on the pitch as RJ.

Strikers can sometimes appear to do sod all in a game, and then suddenly pop up in the right place and score. It was like that in the U21 game where he didn’t get much service, but setup one and scored 2.
6.5/10 for me.— Howlin_Wolf (@HwlinWlf) November 19, 2019
What do we think?
It is doubtless, the 21-year-old needs more time on the pitch to acclimatise to life at Molineux before the Old Gold faithful should make any hard and fast assumptions about him.
Therefore, it is good to see that he is being given time to settle in and supporters still have a lot of optimism surrounding him.
