# Wolves: Steve Madeley criticises Goncalo Guedes

**Journalist [Steve Madeley](https://twitter.com/SteveMadeley78/status/1591573620417089538?s=20&t=2lGjaTLZ0DWbjsHA-BLo5Q) was critical of [Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) striker Goncalo Guedes for walking straight down the tunnel after the 2-0 defeat at home to Arsenal.**

### The Lowdown: Wolves beaten by Gunners

The final game before the Julen Lopetegui era at Molineux proved to be a disappointing one for Wolves, as they suffered a loss in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

Martin Odegaard scored twice for the league leaders to secure victory on the night, meaning Wolves sit [bottom](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) of the table going into Christmas.

Guedes tried his best in attack, having three shots in total, according to [*Sofascore*](https://www.sofascore.com/arsenal-wolverhampton/dsR), but one thing he did left a bad taste.

### The Latest: Madeley criticises Guedes

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/SteveMadeley78/status/1591573620417089538?s=20&t=2lGjaTLZ0DWbjsHA-BLo5Q) after the game, Madeley criticised the striker’s decision not to applaud the fans, walking down the tunnel instead:

> “Wonder whether Goncalo Guedes would be going to Qatar if he’d found this form a couple of weeks earlier. Finally looking like a player. Shame to see him dart straight down the tunnel again while his team-mates connected with fans post-match, but a very good night for him.”

### The Verdict: Not good enough

Every player is disappointed to lose a game, but it is a shame to see Guedes act differently to his teammates and not acknowledge the supporters, especially in the last game before the World Cup.

It is the kind of behaviour that can immediately lose admirers, and while it isn’t necessarily the worst thing a player can do, it is something that the 25-year-old needs to change.

Guedes’ performances have also left plenty to be desired overall, having [scored just once](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/247995/Show/Gon%C3%A7alo-Guedes) in 12 league appearances, and the hope is that he returns a more rounded player after Christmas.
