Newcastle United supporters have launched fierce criticism at one of the team’s regular starters, calling for the club to “release him immediately” and accusing him of “stealing a living” with his current performances. The article collates a series of angry fan reactions posted on social media and fan forums in the wake of a particularly poor display, highlighting growing frustration with the player’s form, attitude and contribution to the side.

According to the piece, many fans argue that the under-fire starter is no longer at Premier League standard and is being carried by his teammates. They point to a pattern of errors, lack of intensity, and repeated failures in key moments as reasons why he should be dropped or moved on as soon as possible. Some supporters suggest that younger or fringe players would offer more effort and value, while others claim the only reason he remains in the XI is a lack of depth or misplaced loyalty from the manager.

The article emphasises that this backlash is not an isolated incident but part of a wider discontent over recent results and performances, with this particular player becoming a focal point for fans’ anger. Multiple quotes are included that label him a liability, insist his time at the club is up, and demand decisive action in the next transfer window.

While the tone throughout is highly critical, the piece frames the reaction as representative of a sizeable section of the fanbase rather than a few isolated voices. It underlines how quickly opinion has turned, contrasting current hostility with the more positive or forgiving views that may have existed in previous seasons. The overall message is that patience appears to have run out, and a significant number of Newcastle supporters now see the player’s departure as necessary for the team to move forward.
