# Newcastle United: Fans slam Miguel Almiron for Southampton display

**Plenty of Everton fans have been slamming Miguel Almiron for his very poor display versus Southampton in the Premier League.**

The St. James’ Park faithful lost the game 2-0 thanks to goals from Che Adams early on in the first half and Stuart Armstrong late on in the second for the Saints, which saw Ralph Hasenhuttl’s team climb up to first place in the top flight.

It is safe to say that there were several poor performances from Steve Bruce’s side on the night, and a lot of NUFC supporters clearly thought that Almiron was one of them.

The Paraguay international was deemed the worst player on the pitch by [Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/southampton-newcastle-united/OV) with a measly 5.2 overall rating, as he failed to register a single shot on target, key pass or cross, while also losing possession of the ball no fewer than 12 times throughout the match.
