# Luther Blissett: Raul Jimenez should go get himself another job

**Wolves looked like they were on their way to the FA Cup final after Raul Jimenez put Nuno Espirito Santo’s men 2-0 up against Watford in the semis, giving the Mexican good reason to bring out his Sin Cara mask in celebration.**

Gerard Deulofeu, however, had other ideas after his brace inspired the Hornets to a 3-2 comeback win to leave egg on Jimenez’s face.

And as well as Troy Deeney, it seems ex-Watford striker Luther Blissett was also left unimpressed with the 27-year-old’s celebration.

“Wearing masks and stuff like that – leave that to the supporters,” Blissett told [talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/fa-cup/524367/luther-blissett-slams-raul-jimenez-celebration-fa-cup/).

“You, as a player, score your goals and you celebrate with your team-mates and the supporters around you and that’s where it should start and end.

“If you want to be a cartoon character or whatever then go and get yourself another job!”

In hindsight, Jimenez’s decision to celebrate in the fashion he did now looks absolutely stupid.

But if anyone deserves a pass from a Wolves’ perspective after that FA Cup semi-final defeat, then it is Jimenez.

On the day, the Mexico international put in another impressive goalscoring performance in a season where he has easily been one of the best No.9s in the Premier League.

And with the direction the recently-promoted side are heading in under Nuno, there is no reason why Jimenez and his team-mates cannot go one step further next season.

Was the mask celebration a mistake? Perhaps. But it is one Wolves supporters will not care about too much if at all with the former Benfica man having barely put a foot wrong all campaign.
