On the fans: "We want to build a connection. We have to try and find a way to energise the team and the players in difficult moments. We didn't win but when you are 2-0 down, it felt like it. The fans are well within their rights to be angry but during the game it will help the players if they have their backing."
On Tom Edozie: "Sometimes we have a feeling on the bench and Tom has done well in training. He took his moment, really special moment for him."

Wolves boss Rob Edwards, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Obviously, really pleased after going 2-0 down to a team like that to show the character and spirit and fight that we did. I'm really proud of the lads tonight and what they produced. Never gave up - that has got to be a given for us. We are showing a lot of fight and quality in the right moments. Going 2-0 down against them it could've been a really difficult night but it didn't."
On youngster Tom Edozie scoring on his debut: "Obviously, we have a shorter squad now and some of the younger players know this could be their opportunity. I was putting my arm round him when he was coming on and I said 'this could be your moment now, mate. Go and make it happen.' And he did, so really pleased for him."
On Huge Bueno's goal: "Yeah, it was a lovely finish. He's got a lovely left for, Hugo. As he opened out and shaped up, you sort of thought the angle's right for him here and it's nice to see that one nestle in the top corner and get us back in the game."

Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal manager Mikel Arteta, BBC Match of the Day: "Incredibly disappointed that we gave two points away. I think we need to fault ourselves and give credit to Wolves. But what we done in the second half was nowhere near our standards that we have to play in order to win a game in the Premier League.
"There are certain things, certain basics that today we are very far from our level, and when you don't perform you can get punished, and we got punished and we have to accept the hits because that can happen when you are on top.
"Certain basics we have to do we did them so poorly one after the other. And then you have no dominance, no control in the game."
On what he has to do to not let this season slip away: "Staying very close to them and reminding them how good they are."

"It's time for us to reflect on the last few performances and fix the issues immediately, so we can get back to winning games, go on a run and build momentum because we've lost that a bit right now.
"I just think we have to get back to our level. Do the basics right and we've got more than enough quality in this team to win games, especially in the games where we've been dropping points in recently. We need to fix that and that's all our focus is right now."

In the second half we did not perform in the way we should and the way we require to win a Premier League match. It is better not to judge it, we are all too emotional about it. You have to take the hit because we deserve it.
"It is very easy with emotion to say things that can damage the team. Everyone wants to do their best. Nobody questions that. Today we weren't at the level, at the races and at the standards that are required. And when you do that and you want to be at this level you have to take the hit. You have to go through tough periods. Today at the last minute, we paid the price. We have to do basic things much better than we have done."
"The enjoyment comes from moments of suffering as well. If you believe you can come into any game in the Premier League and you don't have to go through tough periods, that's not the reality."
On not making the most of being in dominant positions: "Depends. Against Leeds, it didn't happen. Today we need to accept it. We need to be critical of ourselves because in the second half it was not good enough. In the league, it is the reality that we have not been consistent over the last few months. You put the cups in between, that's a different story. When you don't perform at the standards required you have to accept that.
"Now, you have to stand up. When they have a moment of difficulty, and we feel really frustrated with ourselves, you have the perfect game against Spurs away to go and show how much you want it and show how good we are. That's it. Talk on the pitch."

Manchester City will punish you and now it's not even in Arsenal's hands. It is unbelievable what's happened.
At a glance
Bukayo Saka opens scoring for Arsenal to end 15-game goal drought
Defender Piero Hincapie adds a second with first goal for Gunners
But a Hugo Bueno strike is followed by Tom Edozie's 94th-minute effort - deflected in off Riccardo Calafiori - to level
Arsenal five points clear at top of Premier League, bottom club Wolves on 10 points
Leaders Arsenal blew a 2-0 lead in dramatic fashion to draw at rock-bottom Wolves and missed the chance to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Gunners defender Riccardo Calafiori turned in debutant Tom Edozie's shot in the fourth minute of added time for a late leveller after goalkeeper David Raya and centre-back Gabriel made a mess of clearing a high ball into the box.
Hugo Bueno had started Wolves' comeback with a stunning curling effort after Bukayo Saka - with his first goal in 15 games - and Piero Hincapie gave Arsenal what seemed a commanding lead.
The Gunners had control at Molineux as Bukayo Saka celebrated his new contract with the fifth-minute opener.
The England forward nodded in Declan Rice's cross - just a day after signing a fresh five-year deal at the Emirates - before Hincapie added a 56th-minute second with a smart finish from a Gabriel pass for his first goal for the club.
Yet after Saka - who ended a 15-game goal drought in all competitions - went off following treatment, Arsenal struggled under pressure as Hugo Bueno pulled a goal back with a stunning curler in the 61st minute.
Wolves pushed at the end and when Gabriel got in the way as Raya tried to clear a cross, 19-year-old Edozie - on for his senior debut as a substitute - slammed in a shot that struck Calafiori and went in off the post.
Arsenal were stunned, with tempers frayed at the end after Gabriel Jesus shoved over Yerson Mosquera, as their lead over Manchester City is five points, with Pep Guardiola's side having a game in hand.
It was a damaging night for Mikel Arteta's men in their quest for a first league title since 2004.
Yet they still remain in the hunt for a quadruple of trophies, also facing City in next month's Carabao Cup final, into the Champions League last 16 - having topped the league phase - and FA Cup fifth round.
But this result will once more spark doubts over Arsenal's staying power, having finished second in the past three successive seasons.
'Bottle word will be used' for Arsenal - is title 'in Man City's hands'?

Arsenal are still to travel to title rivals Manchester City in April
Wolves analysis: Strugglers going down fighting
Despite being adrift at the bottom and 17 points from safety, Wolves are still fighting and will still have a say in how this Premier League season finishes.
With an hour gone it was a very different scenario as Arsenal led 2-0 and looked on course to see out a comfortable victory.
But that is when Wolves relaxed and began to play, Hugo Bueno scoring the goal of the game with a cracking effort.
Edozie's dream leveller - the teenager's first appearance in senior football marked by a first goal even if Calafiori played his part - epitomised Wolves' spirit.
That is all they had left - and had to find - under Rob Edwards, with the salvage operation already bleak when he replaced Vitor Pereira in November.
They sensed an Arsenal collapse and scrapped their way to a point - something that was denied them at Emirates Stadium back in December when Mosquera's 90th-minute own goal gave the Gunners a 2-1 success.
This point will matter to boss Edwards, the players and the Molineux faithful.
It has been a fractured place for a long time during the first half of an unhappy season.
Unity has returned recently and refusing to give up against the leaders with a gutsy display will hearten Wolves as they prepare for life in the Championship and build for a Premier League return at the first attempt.
Arsenal analysis: Pressure mounts on Gunners yet again
Arsenal's lacklustre performance at Wolves has only served to increase the nerves of supporters who are hoping to see them end their title drought.
Despite leading through Saka's close-range header - his first goal since December - they lacked flow in attack.
Boss Arteta had again picked Saka in the number 10 role rather than the wing after an impressive performance in the FA Cup win over Wigan - and it looked as though that decision had the desired effect to get his side's frontline firing.
However, despite getting a second goal through Hincapie, Arsenal did not do enough, nor look comfortable enough to deny the battling hosts.
Substitute Calafiori only came on in the 93rd minute to bolster the backline, but within a minute his contribution was a decisive involvement in the Wolves equaliser.
This was meant to be a routine win against the league's bottom club - one Arsenal had beaten nine successive times since 2021 and scored against for a 37th time on the trot in all competitions.
Raya didn't have a save to make in the first half, but Arsenal did not dominate as they should and paid the price.
With games against London rivals Tottenham and Chelsea to follow, the Gunners find themselves under a cloud of uncertainty and whether their title dream will turn into another nightmare.
A trip to second-placed Manchester City will be one of their remaining 11 games and Arteta and his squad will have to finally show they can deal with the pressure in the title run-in.
What's next for these teams?
Rob Edwards takes his Wolves side to Crystal Palace on Sunday, 22 February (14:00 GMT), before hosting Aston Villa on Friday, 27 February (20:00 GMT).
The north London derby at Tottenham awaits Arsenal on Sunday, 22 February (16:30 GMT) and then Chelsea visit the Emirates on Sunday, 1 March (16:30 GMT).

Arsenal have won nine of their 11 Premier League away games against Wolves (L2), their highest win rate against any side they’ve faced 10+ times on the road (82%).
Arsenal have scored in each of their last 36 meetings with Wolves in all competitions. In competitive English football history, only Wrexham have had a longer scoring streak against an opponent (49 vs Darlington between 1929 and 1961).
Both of Arsenal’s goals in their 2-1 win against Wolves in the reverse fixture were own goals. Only three sides have benefitted from three own goals against an opponent in a single Premier League campaign – Charlton against Sunderland in 2002-03, Arsenal against Southampton in 2012-13 and Southampton against Sunderland in 2014-15.
Arsenal have won their last 14 Premier League matches against teams in the relegation zone by an aggregate score of 40-4. It’s the longest winning run against sides in the bottom three (or bottom four in 1994-95) in the competition’s history.
Arsenal have won all eight of their games played on a Wednesday in all competitions this season. The last time a Premier League team had a better 100% win rate on a specific day over the course of a season was Man City in 2020-21 (won 15/15 on Wednesdays).
Wolves have lost 16 of their 20 Premier League games against sides starting the day top of the table (W3 D1), beating Man Utd in January 2004 and February 2011, and Manchester City in September 2023. Those two wins against Man Utd came while they were bottom of the table, however.
Wolves have lost 10 of their 13 Premier League home games this season (W1 D2), with only Southampton last season reaching 10 home losses in fewer games (12). Wolves have only lost more home games in a single top-flight season twice before – 11 in 1964-65 and 13 in 2011-12.
Wolves have failed to score in more different Premier League games than any other side this season (14), while Arsenal have kept more clean sheets than anyone else (13).
Arsenal’s Noni Madueke – who has scored in his last two away league games – has scored more Premier League goals against Wolves than any other opponent, with his four goals against them accounting for 27% of his total in the competition (4/15).
