Newcastle United announced via their official Twitter account on Thursday that winger Jacob Murphy had been named as the club's Player of the Month for November, but Magpies fans were quick to question the decision.

The Tyneside outfit only took one point from the possible 12 available during the month as their slide down the Premier League table continued, but the month did see the 22-year-old get more first-team minutes following a struggle to get into the side earlier in the season.

The former Norwich City man had only played 90 top flight minutes across six appearances prior to November, but he made three starts and featured for 239 in the penultimate month of 2017, although he is still yet to score a goal or provide an assist.

Newcastle supporters took to social media to give their thoughts on the big announcement, and while one said the decision was "interesting", another simply said "are you deluded?"

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
