OPINION
It was a great game between Newcastle United and Liverpool on Saturday night, but one player who failed to cover himself in glory was Magpies centre-back Jamaal Lascelles. The 25-year-old had an absolute shocker in the heart of the Newcastle defence and it is no surprise at all to see so many fans on Twitter tearing the ex-Nottingham Forest ace to shreds. Lascelles has been quite underwhelming for Newcastle this season. He has made 33 appearances in all competitions but it’s hard to think of too many matches where he has really stood out. It makes you wonder if it has been down to the speculation that surrounded his future at St James’ Park last summer. Some Newcastle fans on Twitter are now calling for Lascelles to be offloaded in the upcoming summer transfer window. If the Tyneside club can make a lot of money from selling Lascelles then maybe cashing in on him would be a good idea. However it would need to be a massive offer for Rafa Benitez, or whoever is in charge, to accept it.

Lascelles has consistently been our worst player.
