4/10 Newcastle star is quickly becoming Jaissle’s own Woltemade

Football FanCast writer Dan Emery argues that Newcastle United midfielder Nico Gonzalez is becoming manager Matthias Jaissle's equivalent of Nick Woltemade. Following Newcastle's 1-1 draw against Fulham, where Jacob Murphy's opener was cancelled out by Rodrigo Muniz, Emery awarded the Spaniard a 4/10 rating after he failed to register a shot, key pass, or dribble in 61 minutes.

Emery highlights that the £52m signing from Manchester City lacks mobility and physicality, having lost 58% of his total duels in the Premier League this season. The writer compares Gonzalez's struggles to Woltemade, who was loaned to Juventus after just one season due to a similar inability to adapt to the league's physical demands.
