Pereira later said of his first signing as Wolves manager: “I think he was consistent. To play on the left side without left foot is not easy, but he can play on the left and he played well. I think he realised today that the game never stops here. Fast free kicks, fast throw ins, fast when the goalkeeper starts to play – the ball doesn't stop.

"It never, never stops. It means the players don't have the time to recover and to breathe a bit. That's what we feel when we are looking at the game.

“I think he realised today the speed of the game. The game is every time fast. We need a team to be more comfortable with the ball, so the pace is our pace, not the pace that the opponent team wants, because this is a game without control. In my opinion, that's what happened a bit in the second half.”

On his own FA Cup debut, the manager smiled: “It’s fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. It’s like we’re in the Premier League. The pace of the game is the same. It's a physical game, technical game, they have very good players. This is English football.”
