Many Newcastle United fans have slammed DeAndre Yedlin after his recent performance against Tottenham Hotspur.
The Magpies fell to a 3-1 loss to Spurs on Wednesday, with Harry Kane grabbing a brace for Jose Mourinho’s men. Heung-min Son had handed Spurs a lead, though the Magpies drew level through Matt Ritchie in the second half. Kane’s brace though, saw Newcastle lose their third game in a row.
After the game though, many Newcastle fans weren’t pleased with Yedlin. They took to Twitter and made their displeasure for the American’s performance very clear.
Yedlin is atrocious isn’t he?
Shocking footballer.#NUFC

Was Yedlin Newcastle's poorest player against Spurs?
Yes, he was poor
No, he wasn't that bad
If he wasn’t rapid he wouldn’t of even got a game his boys club.

Yedlin was terrible tonight. I think he’ll go in the next window. #NUFC

I wouldn’t give Yedlin a game in the juniors

The American had started the game at right-back for Steve Bruce’s men, who had lined up in a 5-3-2 shape. Yedlin was taken off in the second half of the tie, as Valentino Lazaro came on for him (as per WhoScored).
Many other Toon fans made their anger for Yedlin known and didn’t have positive words to say for him.
Tonight could also have been Yedlin’s last game for #NUFC. He joined us as a 23 year old speed demon with bags of potential to improve, and in all honesty, he’s still the same player he was in the Championship for us. RB upgrade needed in the summer with Manquillo as backup.

Yedlin is useless

Yedlin and Schar should never again wear the @NUFC shirt https://t.co/bQxGexE4Mn

Harsh scoreline but clinical forwards proved the difference. Thought Shelvey & Ritchie were brilliant, ASM usual menace but Yedlin was a disgrace! Clearly agreed move away from the club. Stuck on 43 points, stuck in 13th. At least we played with enjoyment and encouragement. #NUFC

I love #Yedlin he’s a #Yank like me but he’s been dreadful since PL return. Offers nothing going forward & a giant hole on defense! ????? So disappointed we played well in large spells but 3 goals conceded that shouldn’t have been. Lazaro should have started! We need takeover! #NUFC

Clearly, many Newcastle fans feel that Yedlin didn’t have a good game and some others feel that the American should be moved on by the club.
Per Whoscored, Yedlin picked up a rating of 6.3/10 in the game. His overall rating for the campaign stands at an underwhelming 6.33 and as a result, he is the sixth-worst performer this season for the Magpies.
Therefore, it is understandable why fans are fuming at Yedlin and it remains to be seen where his future lies. Fans can only hope that he comes up with better performances in what is left of the campaign.
