The Wolverhampton Wanderers man was slated by some fans for playing too deep once again in the Molineux game.
A number of Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Ruben Neves’ performance in Thursday night’s 1-0 Europa League defeat to Braga at Molineux.
The 22-year-old, known for his long raking passes and skilfully linking attack and defence, put in another mediocre display in which he once again played too deep and got in Conor Coady’s way at times.
Admittedly, many Wolves players were simply not at their best on the night as Braga’s Ricardo Horta struck the only goal of the game, with 19 minutes remaining, ensuring that Nuno Espirito Santo’s charges fell to their third defeat in a row.
Here is what some Molineux faithful said on Twitter:
Patrick Cutrone and Leander Dendoncker both had chances to give Nuno Espirito Santo’s side the lead at Molineux before Horta finished off from Ryan Bennett’s error for his fifth goal in four appearances in this year’s competition.
In the closing stages, Matheus Magalhaes denied Neves from distance, while Raul Jimenez saw his near post header flash wide in the final minute of stoppage time to leave Wolves on zero points in Group K alongside Besiktas, who were beaten 4-2 by Slovan Bratislava in Thursday night’s other game.
