Do you like Rui Patricio's new moustache?Yes, it actually suits himNo, it's not great |
The Portuguese ‘keeper has been the Old Gold’s 11th-best performer in the Premier League so far this season, with a relatively solid 6.63/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
Over 29 appearances in the league this season, Patricio has kept eight clean sheets and conceded 34 goals (per Transfermarkt), however, supporters were not impressed with his latest appearance on social media.

What do we think?
While supporters were divided over the 32-year-old stopper’s latest facial feature, the message behind the tweet from the Old Gold was a sound one (per Wolves).
After a relatively solid eight clean sheets on the pitch in the Premier League so far this season (per Transfermarkt), it is likely supporters will not mind what is on Patricio’s face as long as he keeps the ball out of the net.
