Andy Thompson has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with Pablo Sarabia since he joined Wolves.
The 31-year-old was given a start in the Carabao Cup against Ipswich Town on Tuesday night but failed to make an impact.
Sarabia had excelled in the previous round against Blackpool, assisting on four of Wolves’ five goals against the Tangerines.
Sarabia, on the other hand, has struggled to have an impact in Wolves games.
He arrived to a lot of fanfare.
He joined from Paris Saint-Germain for a cost of £4.4 million, which many thought was excellent business.
But Sarabia has only had a few solid games since his January arrival, and Thompson believes he should be playing more…
Thompson was a guest on the latest Wolves Weekly podcast.
He was a frustrated spectator when Wolves were defeated 3-2 by Ipswich, and he was dissatisfied with Sarabia’s contributions.
“I was disappointed again with Sarabia,” he said (Wolves Weekly). He had trouble getting into the game. When he arrived at the club, I had high hopes for him. I know we’re not playing well, and it’s not just him, but I expected him to give us a lot more.”
Sarabia’s recent poor form has pushed him to the periphery at Molineux.
He hasn’t started a Premier League game since the 3-2 loss to Crystal Palace just before the international break.
That was one of only two Premier League starts he’s made so far.
Sarabia falls short – he must step up
Sarabia has undoubtedly underwhelmed so far at Wolves.
Fans were rightly very excited when he signed and so far we haven’t seen his quality anywhere near enough.
It has been revealed recently that he is now the highest earner at Molineux.
He therefore needs to start stepping up for Wolves as an experienced player.
