Joao Gomes is determined to help Wolves swing momentum back their way after a difficult start to the new Premier League season.
The Brazilian, once again an ever-present in the heart of Gary O’Neil’s midfield, has been as frustrated as anyone to see sections of good play from the Old Gold not continue for full 90 minutes, leading to no wins after five matches. On Saturday evening they host Liverpool at Molineux, and Gomes is fully focused on cutting out small errors which are proving costly at the moment, and producing a more complete team performance.
On a tough start to the season
“I think the results are bad, however I think we’re on the right track. I wouldn’t change anything, or do anything different to what I’m doing today. Sooner or later things will fall into place.
“We need to find a balance, as we're having 45 very good minutes and 45 bad minutes. We need to pay more attention to the details because one little mistake can ruin everything.”
On facing Liverpool
“It will be one of the most difficult games of the season. They are one of the best in the world at the moment, but we need to believe in ourselves. What we need to do is get out of our comfort zone a little bit, doing things different. It’s important to get the results and change our mentality overall.
“We need to get the results in a collective way, as a team. The team itself, as a whole, can be very good. We need to try to achieve better results, not individually, but as a team. I want to get my team out of the situation we’re in at the moment.”

On continuing his Brazilian aspirations
“I’m reaching all of my dreams and I hope to continue to do well. I hope I can make some changes and continue with Brazil. I’ve taken small steps, and I hope to become an excellent football player. I want to improve and not make as many mistakes and get on the right track.”
