Are toon fans giving Christian Atsu an easy ride ?...Are the wide players the problem and our strikers taking the blame ?
While fans lay into the likes of Perez ? Joselu ?
Merino ? for instance is Atsu being let off lightly by fans ...he proved a huge hit in the championship and Benitez paid Chelsea Β£6.2m
But this season he has been found wanting along with winger Matt Ritchie ? ...Atsu has 2 goals and 1 assist in 25 games ...we need goals and along with Benitez we are pinning our hopes on a fit Slimani ..but are the strikers the real problem at nufc ...strikers are only as good as those around them ?....you need to create chances and you rely on your wingers...to provide them , players can be as fickle as some fans thats one reason iam not a great believer in Twitter..it can in my opinion destroy young players careers , but saying that iam a great believer that you the fans have a right to your own opinion and are free to voice it where ever you choose !
I will start with asking our fans where do you believe that Rafa Benitez needs to change things v Southampton, what formation for instance ? Should we play 4-4-2 at home and as the manager said we need to attack teams at home , is there certain player who you think the team is carrying ?
Give us your views ...?

Did Newcastle United really get a bargain in Christian Atsu?
