Supporters of Newcastle United have fumed after footage of goalkeeper Karl Darlow was shared by the Toon on social media.
On Tuesday night, Steve Bruce’s side crashed out of the Carabao Cup after a 1-0 defeat against Brentford in the quarter-final of the competition (per Transfermarkt).
During the defeat, Darlow played the entirety of the match between the sticks for the north-east club.
Following the game, the stopper spoke to the club’s media and interview footage of him was shared on Twitter by Newcastle (per Newcastle United).
He said: “We need to be coming to these sort of games and making sure we boss the game and come out with a victory and we should be in the semi-final but we’ve not done that tonight.”
Lots of Toon fans then flocked to this to air their frustrations after it was shared on Twitter.
So, what did these Newcastle fans have to say about the footage of Karl Darlow?

For his role in the defeat against the Bees, the goalkeeper was awarded a fairly average 6/10 performance rating by Chronicle Live, who claimed he ‘kept the score down in the end’.
Is Karl Darlow good enough for Newcastle United?
Yes, he's a good player
No, he's not that good
“I’ve supported Newcastle since the early 1980s. Last week I decided to stop watching them. Worst Manager we have ever had and we have had our fair share. Even when we scrape a win on 20% possession I end up feeling sorry for the opposition. Pathetic”

“That was nearly as embarrassing and pathetic as the performance.”
