Kobbie Mainoo thanks Erik ten Hag for role in his development

“I just try and play my game,” continues Mainoo. “The fans are going to be there no matter what. And when we’re at home, I obviously try and use it as fuel.

“And when we’re away, I guess I kind of use that as fuel as well, because with them being against you, it kind of makes you want to win even more. So it can be used however you want it.”

Of course, we couldn’t speak to Kobbie without discussing his recent goals and, in particular, the dramatic added-time winner at Molineux.

He describes that as his favourite so far and admits the ‘calm down, calm down’ celebration came out of nowhere.
