Newcastle United failed to win in the Premier League at the weekend.
Warren Barton has suggested on social networking site Twitter that Ayoze Perez is not good enough for Newcastle United.
The former Newcastle defender made the comment following the Magpies’ failure to win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in London.
Rafael Benitez’s side played out a 1-1 draw with the Eagles in the Premier League.
Perez started the match and played for 80 minutes, and the performance of the 24-year-old forward did not impress Barton.
Perez has been on the books of Newcastle since the summer of 2014 when he joined from Tenerife for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £1.5 million.
The Spaniard is a versatile player who can operate upfront and in the number 10 role, but the 24-year-old has lacked consistency.
The former Spain Under-21 international is a good player, and fans should have faith in him.
Newcastle are struggling at the moment and are just a point above the Premier League relegation zone.
