A lot of Newcastle United fans have reacted to Allan Saint-Maximin’s latest tweet after he watched his side salvage a draw at Goodison Park.
Steve Bruce decided to leave Saint-Maximin on Tyneside as he has just come back from a hamstring injury.
Was Bruce right to rest Saint-Maximin?
Yes, no point risking another injury
No, should have played him
After the match, he posted a GIF summing up his joy at what his teammates did, and these Toon fans loved it.

What do we think?
Bruce confirmed that the Frenchman should be available to play against Oxford United in the FA Cup, and though the Toon did not lose, it was another game that they have not won without Saint-Maximin.
However, the comeback from Newcastle was genuinely incredible as Florian Lejeune scored two goals in the space of a minute to ensure that the Toon left Merseyside with a point.
The Toffees dominated throughout, but the Magpies showed great determination and resilience (Steve Bruce interview) to snatch a point at the death.
They will now hope Saint-Maximin is fit so they can start to win matches again.
