Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have fumed over a tweet which was shared by journalist, Tim Spiers.
On Monday, the Atheltic reporter shared Garth Crooks’ team of the week, which had Bruno Fernandes in it from the clash with Wolves (as per BBC), which fans could not believe (via Tim Spiers).

Pathetic, thing good ole Garth watch a different game, Fernandes excellent but Neves outshone him, no mention of Boly or Jimmy, both were superb as well.

Who had a better game out of the pair in the 0-0 draw at Old Trafford?Bruno Fernandes
Ruben Neves

For the game at Old Trafford, the Red Devils’ newest recruit earned himself a respectable 7/10 performance rating (as per Manchester Evening News).
However, many Wolves fans were furious that Crooks had overlook Ruben Neves, who put in a stellar display and was awarded a 9/10 for his performance (as per Express and Star).

How can attacking midfield player be in a team of the week without scoring or assisting? Oh I know, he had “heart” and showed “character” as if just walked out the pub and put on a red shirt. #backtosleep

Good old Garth talking nonsense again

What do we think?
This one does seem a little bizarre from Crooks when, judging from the average ratings, the Portuguese midfielder was not even the best-performing Portuguese midfielder on the pitch, let alone one of the best two in the Premier League last weekend.
So, Wolves fans are rightly disappointed that their 22-year-old middleman has not been given the praise he deserved for a strong outing.
