Clinton Morrison has said on Sky Sports News (5:26pm, October 23, 2021) that Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin was frustrated against Crystal Palace today.
Newcastle played out a 1-1 draw with Palace away from home at Selhurst Park in the Premier League this afternoon.
Former Palace forward Morrison was following the match for the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News.
And he noted that Newcastle winger Saint-Maximin, 24, “looked really frustrated”.
Morrison said on Sky Sports News (5:26pm, October 23, 2021): “Saint-Maximin looked really frustrated.
“I really like him. I think he is a special player. He didn’t see much of the ball. He eventually came off.”
How did Allan Saint-Maximin play?
Saint-Maximin is arguably the best player at Newcastle and is a talisman for the team.
The Frenchman has been playing well for the Magpies this season.
However, against Palace in London today, the 24-year-old struggled to make a huge impact for the Magpies.
Newcastle did not have much of the ball, and that was down to their defensive set-up as well as Palace playing well.
The 24-year-old took one shot which was not on target, had a pass accuracy of 41.7%, won two headers, took 31 touches, and made one interception.
It was a disappointing performance from the winger, but we must remember that all players have bad games.
