Newcastle United fans have been the saying same thing about William Osula after a 0-0 draw against Everton at Goodison Park.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United failed to break down Everton at Goodison Park with Anthony Gordon having his penalty saved by Jordan Pickford, which proved to be the best chance that the Magpies would have.

It was a frustrating draw for Newcastle fans with the clubs profligacy in front of goal proving to be an issue for the club.

With Alexander Isak missing from the Newcastle first team, questions have been asked of Howe about his decision to leave out William Osula from the team during the draw against Everton.

Newcastle created lots of key openings against Everton but struggled to test Pickford in the Everton goal.

Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali were pulling the strings in the midfield but the front line of the Geordie side could not test Pickford enough.

Writing on social media platform X, fans have been keen to air their thoughts about the decision from Howe.

"Most obvious substitution to make was to get William Osula on for that game, the amount of crosses in the box and runs in behind," one fan said.

Another fan claimed: "What was the point in signing Osula." Whilst a third said: "Show some faith in the kid."

"Osula should be banging on Eddie Howe's door to start," a disgruntled fan claimed. Another fan claimed that: "Newcastle would have won that game with Osula over Almiron."

A sixth fan perhaps made a rather harsh call on Osula's signing: "What was the point in signing Osula?"

Newcastle's problems in front of goal The Magpies created several openings, in the first half in particular, but could not put the ball in the back of the net.

Newcastle signed Osula from Sheffield United for PS8 million and while the Danish forward may well be raw, handing the young forward a substitute appearance may well have not been a risk and could have helped the club get over the line.

With Isak out injured with a foot problem, Howe may have to rethink his team thinking for when Newcastle return from the October international break.
