Newcastle United picked up a 1-1 draw against fellow strugglers Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday, and Magpies fans weren't impressed with Matt Ritchie's performance on his return to the starting XI.

The Scotland international had only played 18 minutes across the Toon's previous two Premier League matches following a loss of form, but he came back into the XI in south London with Jacob Murphy on the substitutes' bench.

However, while he did well to cover DeAndre Yedlin defensively he struggled to make an impact in the final third for Rafa Benitez's men, who now lie just one point and two places above the relegation zone.

Newcastle supporters were quick to have their say on the 28-year-old's display via social media, and while one said "Has Ritchie done anything? Carrying too many players at the moment", another said "Ritchie truly awful again".
