Newcastle United fans on Twitter have been reflecting on Nabil Bentaleb’s time at the club so far.
This comes after Newcastle news Twitter account @ChronicleNUFC shared a post on their page that contained a link to an article that relayed comments made by Bentaleb to the official Newcastle club website on the return of the current Premier League season.
This Twitter post was then captioned with a question to the Newcastle fans asking what they have made of the midfielder’s time at the club so far.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Newcastle fans who were quick to share their thoughts on Bentaleb and how he has performed for the club during his time at St. James’ Park.
Here’s a sample of Newcastle fans responding to the post:

Lousy player

The 25-year-old, who is currently valued at £3.6 million according to Transfermarkt, signed to Newcastle on a loan deal from Bundesliga side FC Schalke in the previous January transfer window (per Transfermarkt).
Average

Awful atitude, Rude, Ignorant and a very average player at the minute.
He has something there though

Have you been impressed with Bentaleb so far?
Yes
No
Since then, the Algerian has made six appearances for Steve Bruce’s side, three in the Premier League and three in the FA Cup (per Transfermarkt).
Underwhelming.

Bentaleb’s performances in those three Premier League appearances have resulted in him being awarded a season rating of 6.68/10, making him the 13th highest-rated player in the Toon squad this season (per WhoScored).
Desperate stuff

Lacklustre

Now that this question has been put to these Newcastle fans, this opened the door for lots of fans to share their thoughts on Bentaleb.
However, there was one Newcastle fan responding to the post with a more balanced view on the midfielder.
Done ok in limited appearances, but I’m not going to dismiss him as much as I’m not going to get carried away with Matty either

It seems that the majority of these Newcastle fans have not been that impressed by Bentaleb during his time at the club.
Maybe Bentaleb can use the remaining Premier League games to put in some decent performances and try and get these Newcastle fans back on side and change their minds about himself.
