It would be fair to say that a number of Newcastle United fans were not pleased with the performance of skipper Jamaal Lascelles in Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Liverpool.
Newcastle actually played very well for long stages of the clash with Jurgen Klopp’s side, but Divock Origi’s 86th-minute header secured all three points for the Reds.
Lascelles was certainly guilty of missing a few headers during the 90 minutes, and it was a tough night for the Magpies captain against the free-scoring title hopefuls.
It is generally thought that Lascelles is a player capable of excellence, but simply makes too many mistakes to be considered as a potential starter for England.
Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez must be seeing something positive from the 25-year-old on a daily basis to continue playing him.
But a number of the club’s fans hated what they saw from the central defender at St James’ Park on Saturday evening, and for the majority of the season.
