Wolves fans have taken to Twitter to pile the praise on Max Kilman, following the youngster’s excellent performance in the 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

The 22-year-old was making just his second Premier League start of the campaign and his seventh start across all competitions, having also started three Europa League matches and two Carabao Cup games.

Kilman was unfortunate to be on the losing side against Jurgen Klopp’s men, as too were all of his Wolves teammates after Pedro Neto’s goal was ruled out when Jonny Otto was deemed to be offside by what seemed like a toenail.

Sadio Mane’s goal handed Liverpool a 1-0 victory, despite Kilman’s best efforts to keep the European champions out.

The Wolves No.49 won four aerial duels against the Reds, while also making four successful tackles, one interception, one block and four clearances.

Kilman also made 31 passes and registered one successful dribble, while certainly not looking out of place on a pitch containing some of the best players in the Premier League.

One fan said that Kilman was a “massive surprise” for Wolves against the Merseysiders, and also mentioned that the centre-back doesn’t look like a kid who came from playing non-league football.

This supporter – who owns an account named Wolves Fancast – said that amidst all the talk about VAR following the game, Kilman “deserves a mention” before stating that the youngster has risen to every challenge this season and also kept Mohamed Salah quiet all game, which is some achievement given the Egyptian’s qualities.

Two adjectives beginning with the letter ‘A’ were on show here, as this pair of Wolves supporters lauded Kilman through the use of the words “assured” and “awesome” – it’s hard to argue with those assessments given his commanding performance.

Elsewhere, this fan named Alex also said that Salah was kept quiet by Kilman, before going as far as saying that the match against Liverpool was the 22-year-old’s “best game for Wolves” – lofty praise indeed.

Lastly, Geoff simply stated that Kilman was “excellent” against Klopp’s side – it’s safe to say that the Wolves fringe man had a brilliant game at Anfield.
