badly for the player and for Wolves since then<\/a>. Strand Larsen has scored just one Premier League goal and struggled with an Achilles injury.<\/p>\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0_JS385174278.jpg\")

OPINION<\/p>\n
The Black Country side sit rock bottom of the table without a win and just two points on the board, seemingly set for relegation to the Championship and in danger of beating Derby County’s record as the poorest Premier League side in history. They were hammered 4-1 at home to Manchester United on Monday night.<\/p>\n
The game saw Strand Larsen substituted after 69minutes with the move sarcastically applauded by many Wolves fans. The player then seemed ready to to have a confrontation with supporters from the dugout before being spoken to by manager Rob Edwards, who also had a word with the player at the final whistle.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just said: \u2018look, stay positive and don\u2019t react now\u2019,\u201d Edwards told a press conference. \u201cIt will hurt him. He\u2019s proud, he\u2019s one of the lads that was really speaking before the game, in the huddle, in the changing room and he\u2019s really passionate and spoke really well.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is trying. It wasn\u2019t that long ago, against Aston Villa, when I thought he was brilliant, he really was.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a difficult night tonight, So I just told him: \u2018it\u2019s difficult now I know that, but keep your head down\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wolves supporters took to social media afterwards, calling out the Norwegian for his attitude and workrate, with many saying he had downed tools since his move to Newcastle fell through.<\/p>\n
One posted: “Larsen\u2019s head was turned by Newcastle and now thinks he\u2019s too good for the club.” Another wrote: “Clearly doesn’t want to be here. Hasn’t ever since Newcastle were interested in him.”<\/p>\n
“Strand Larsen\u2019s head is still 180 degrees turned after the Newcastle bids. Should not be on the pitch in a gold shirt,” was another message.<\/p>\n
It was a series of posts which echoed Newcastle legend Alan Shearer’s verdict on a player who could have been lining up in a black and white shirt this season.<\/p>\n
In a brutal takedown of the striker, Shearer said: \u201cNewcastle had a bid turned down for Strand Larsen. I\u2019ve not seen anything this season, and it might be unfair on him, I guess, but I\u2019ve not seen anything to suggest that that money would have been well spent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newcastle United tried to sign the Wolves striker in the summerJorgen Strand Larsen of Wolverhampton Wanderers looks at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306843,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,2806,2998,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-306842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-newcastle-united-fc","tag-newcastle-united-fc-transfer-news","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306842\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
