Newcastle United striker Joelinton is still not off the mark for Steve Bruce’s side.
Joelinton was brought to Newcastle in a club record signing over the summer, but he is yet to get off the mark for Steve Bruce’s side.
Newcastle were beaten 3-1 by Norwich yesterday, and their performance was poor in the contest.
However, Joelinton should have scored after being handed a wonderful opportunity to head home from close range, which he put wide.
It summed up the Brazilian’s display, as very little went for him.
And Sutton said: “He’s been a little bit flat, a disappointing start for him in a Newcastle shirt. They haven’t done enough going forward.”
Newcastle’s only goal in the game came through Jonjo Shelvey, but it was nothing more than a consolation.
Newcastle were thoroughly outplayed by Norwich, and pressure is already building on Bruce to improve performances sooner rather than later.
