Newcastle’s cause for concern remains obvious as Fulham chant highlights opportunity missed

Sean McCormick argues that Newcastle United missed a major opportunity to claim three points in their draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Despite entering the match following four defeats in five games, Newcastle created superior chances but struggled to convert them, relying on a 25-yard goal from Jacob Murphy while Harvey Barnes and Lewis Hall were denied by Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

The writer highlights persistent concerns regarding Newcastle's blunt attack, specifically noting the low goal returns of Yoane Wissa, Will Osula, and £51m signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo. McCormick notes that Fulham supporters ironically chanted 'We've had a shot,' illustrating the hosts' own struggles and reinforcing his view that the result was two points dropped rather than one gained for Newcastle.
