“Would still put it out for a throw-in” – Some NUFC fans mock 23 y/o following teammate’s post
Plenty of Newcastle United fans have mocked stuttering Magpies striker Joelinton, but not for a bad performance that you might expect.
His teammate Christian Atsu posted a picture of himself on Twitter and the Brazilian striker was included in the image, alongside several others.
The former Hoffenheim star was pictured leaning next to the door, which instantly got the St James’ Park faithful talking.
Is Joelinton getting unfairly treated by fans?
Nope, he doesn't deserve decent treatment
He's getting the right amount of criticism
We need to get behind him; not at him
Joelinton has had a wretched time on Tyneside so far and fans have been vocal in their disapproval of his performances, having scored just once in 29 Premier League appearances.
With this in mind, supporters were quick to poke fun at Joelinton and made their feelings clear on social media. One fan jokingly said that he “would still put it our for a throw-in”.
Joelinton would still put it out for a thrown in from that position
