Joelinton had one of his worst games for Newcastle United today.
Things went from bad to worse for big-money Newcastle United hitman Joelinton today.
Steve Bruce’s side drew 1-1 away to Rochdale in the third round of the FA Cup in a game where the big Brazilian struggled in a major way.
Prior to kickoff, the Newcastle striker had only managed to score once from 21 appearances across all competitions this season following a £40 million summer move.
It’s a disastrous return and one that he could – and should – have bettered today, but Joelinton passed up a number of goalscoring chances.
Not only that, but the travelling Magpies fans chanted ‘You’re not fit to wear the shirt’ at him this afternoon, largely because of his body language and lack of enthusiasm.
It’s been a horrendous six months in England for him so far and here’s how Newcastle supporters reacted to his display on Twitter today.
He is clearly low on confidence but it makes you wonder whether he’s good enough for English football to begin with.
Even low-on-confidence strikers could’ve put away the chances he missed today and it is starting to look extremely ominous.
