Newcastle United fans tear into Christian Atsu after Burnley defeat

Newcastle United fans have slammed the display of Christian Atsu in their slim defeat against Burnley on Saturday.

The Magpies saw their recent winning streak come to an end — losing 1-0 against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday.

Steve Bruce’s men failed to register one shot on target despite boasting of attackers such as Christian Atsu, Andy Carrol and Joelinton in the starting line-up.

But it was Atsu’s performance that was scrutinized by the Toon Army after they believed he failed to adequately replace star man Allan Saint-Maximin — who is facing a spell on the sidelines due to injury.

Fans offered little sympathy to the former Chelsea player on Twitter after the game, and it is hard to criticise anyone for being frustrated with him, as he continually fails to take any of the opportunities afforded to him.
