These Newcastle United fans slate Christian Atsu after his poor performance against Everton on Tuesday.
After Newcastle scored in the 93rd and 94th minute to steal a 2-2 draw against Everton and walk away with a point, these Magpies fans were fuming with Christian Atsu’s underwhelming performance on Tuesday.
Atsu finished the match with a WhoScored rating of 6/10, not the worst you’ll ever see but definitely not the standard these Newcastle fans will want to be seeing from him.
Here are some of the comments from the Newcastle fans on Twitter:
How’s that lad a professional footballer is baffling so much dead wood in the club

I’m not sure we have ever seen anything other than poor from him… he is a dreadful player.

This is absolutely dismal! As poor as we’ve been all season! Any danger the Longstaffs might wanna turn up in midfield! Don’t get me started on Atsu! He’s a disgrace #NUFC

Just start with 10

Needs to be sold. Championship player .. at best.

Is Atsu the worst player at Newcastle United?
Yes
No
So far this season, Christian Atsu has averaged a Whoscored rating of 6.32/10, so these Newcastle United fans should have expected a poor performance from the 28-year-old.
It’s rare he ever has a good show

Absolutely awful

Atsu should never wear a #nufc shirt ever again

What Do We Think?
With Atsu’s average WhoScored ratings showing that the winger has rarely had a good game this season, we aren’t sure what these Newcastle United fans were expecting to see from him. At least Atsu was passing well, completing 71% of his passes all game.
