Newcastle may have stretched their winless away record to five matches, but it is unlikely they will care too much after a dramatic comeback earned them an unlikely point against Everton.

It was a repeat story for much of the match as a lack of attacking ambition led to just two shots on target and 45% possession, with Joelinton once again failing to impact the game.

The striker came close to scoring against Chelsea when he hit the bar with a header but he returned to his ineffectual ways with zero dribbles and zero key passes against the Toffees – failing to even muster a shot on target, as per WhoScored.

Many supporters have lost patience with the Brazilian and aimed criticism in his direction, but they’re right to do so as the 23-year-old consistently falls some way below the level required of him.

Rather poignantly, Newcastle’s comeback took place late on after the former Hoffenheim player departed the pitch.

That point hasn’t been lost on some fans. The Frenchman’s late double means Steve Bruce’s defenders have now scored 12 league goals between them this season, leading some to state they are better in attack than Joelinton.

There have been calls for the forward to be dropped due to him not providing enough, and when he is being outdone by defenders it is a very worrying sign, one which should lead Bruce to take action.

Newcastle still have over a week remaining in the transfer window but there are some vital things to consider when searching to improve upon certain players.
