'Needs to go out on loan': Newcastle United fans issue verdict after Joelinton's latest performance

Newcastle United secured their spot in the third round of the Carabao Cup with a 1-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers last night but it was hardly a vintage performance.

On the plus side, Ryan Fraser became the third debutant in the space of just a few days to open his account for the Magpies but there are bad points too.

Among them is the performance of Joelinton, a player who has struggled to adapt to Premier League football and has been burdened by his lucrative price-tag.

It was another performance to forget for the Brazilian last night, with Steve Bruce's own admission being that it was a frustrating night for Newcastle's number nine.

While Bruce also stated that he believes Joelinton will work hard and eventually come out ok, fans on social media were not convinced.

Instead, they took to social media to express their concerns and many believe that it may be time to part ways with the striker or to send him on loan.
