Newcastle fans furious with ‘horrendous’ centre-forward Joselu
Joselu completed 90 minutes in the Boxing Day defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday – and some of the Newcastle United fans on Twitter annihilated him for the quality of his performance.
The Magpies were ripped apart by leaders Liverpool 4-0 at Anfield in the Premier League.
Dejan Lovren, Mohamed Salah, Xherdan Shaqiri and Fabinho all scored for the Merseyside giants in an emphatic result.

A selection of supporters on social media were particularly angry with Joselu following his performance in attack for Newcastle against Liverpool.
The 28-year-old centre-forward got a rare start in the team and was unable to make the most of his opportunity.
The Spanish striker missed a glorious chance when the score was goalless with a header, while he also blew another chance in front of goal in the second-half.
He’s struggled to carve out a career for himself at St James’ Park so far and yet again showed he is not the top-class striker the club needs.
Here are some of the Newcastle fans criticising Joselu after another poor showing:
Joselu playing for Newcastle United is a disgrace and embarrassment shows the absolute state of the club #nufc

I never ever want to see Joselu in a toon shirt ever again!! I’d rather see one of the kids given a chance. They can’t do any worse surely!! #NUFC

That was just so bad to watch! Liverpool are a great side but we had nothing. Joselu is a league one player. Horrendous #nufc

Fernandez and Schar should be first choice and Joselu should be nowhere near the first team #NUFC

Must be an absolute dream as a centre half to play against Joselu, what a joke man
