"The first half, we were not aggressive under pressure, especially the defenders. [Leeds] played with a lot of space. We were not applying pressure in the way we need to do it. We are trying to correct the mistakes, but they happen again. The second half was different. We didn't concede anything to them. We were not at the best level of defending in the first half. We created some chances to score in the second half, but it's not easy because they defended with a low block."
"I think we are in a really tough spot right now. I am really disappointed in all of us. Nobody wants to be in this situation, but nobody else can complain about it, only ourselves. We were 1-0 up and cannot give the goals away we did today. It kills us. It's about the mentality of the players, and we need to do better. Hopefully, we can do it because this league is too tough to be playing like this. We need to change our mentality now, it's going to be a long season."
Vitor Pereira is not worried about his future despite Wolves losing their first five Premier League matches and sitting bottom with zero points. Pereira signed a new three-year deal and expressed confidence in reversing the club's form. He identified a lack of aggression and insufficient pressure, particularly from defenders, as key first-half issues against Leeds, while noting improved defending and chances created after half-time. Jorgen Strand Larsen accepted responsibility with teammates, criticised the squad's mentality for conceding leads, and called for an immediate mentality change to cope with a long, difficult season.
