Attacking star must be axed: Three things learned about Newcastle from draw v Liverpool
Perez offers little and must be axed
It was a case of another start, another 90 minutes of very little from Ayoze Perez, and he will have fans wondering what he offers to the side.
He has just one assist to his name despite having started every league game this season, and his run continued against the Reds.
He is a willing runner but he failed to have any impact on or off the ball at St James’ Park, and with Mo Diame, who replaced the Spanish midfielder with minutes to play, breathing down his neck, he must be worried about his place in the starting XI.
In reality, he should have been axed a number of matches ago, and he did nothing to prove himself on Sunday.
In other Newcastle United news, a business tycoon worth a reported £30billion was in the crowd at St James’ Park on Sunday.
