Paul Merson Left Stunned as Wolves Run Riot in FA Cup Rout
Paul Merson admitted his surprise after Wolverhampton Wanderers delivered a ruthless performance in the Emirates FA Cup, dismantling Shrewsbury Town 6–1 to cruise into the next round.
“Is this the same Wolves that we know?” Merson questioned, clearly taken aback by the intensity and flair on display from Gary O’Neil’s side ‍.

Facing an EFL League Two outfit, Wolves showed no mercy from the first whistle, playing with pace, confidence, and a cutting edge that overwhelmed Shrewsbury. The Premier League side dominated possession, created chance after chance, and turned the tie into a one-sided contest long before the final whistle.

The six-goal haul was a statement performance, highlighting Wolves’ attacking potential and depth, as several players seized their opportunity on the big stage. Despite Shrewsbury’s brief consolation goal, the gulf in quality was evident throughout the match.
For Merson and many watching, it was not just the scoreline that stood out, but the manner of the victory. Wolves looked sharp, hungry, and focused—qualities that will encourage their fans as the FA Cup journey continues.
