# Fans on social media blast ‘terrible’ Jamaal Lascelles after Liverpool defeat

[Newcastle United suffered a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool](https://www.nufc.co.uk/matches/first-team/2021-22/liverpool-v-newcastle-united/) on Thursday evening and Jamaal Lascelles once again came under criticism for his performance, leading to fans on social media blasting him. He was given a player rating of 5/10 by [Chronicle Live](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-newcastle-player-ratings-defeat-22488881) too.

The 28-year-old was fortunate to keep his place at centre-back after his [below-par showing in the Magpies’ 4-0 defeat to Leicester City](https://readnewcastle.com/2021/12/13/fans-on-social-media-blast-poor-jamaal-lascelles-for-terrible-performance/), but he might be taken out of the spotlight for Sunday’s clash with Manchester City. Lascelles had a busy evening but failed to contain the Premier League title-chasers.

> Hayden isn’t good enough at this level. Ritchie isn’t. Schar & Lascelles aren’t PL pairing. These are 4 most obvious replacements needed in Jan. Also need ACM and a striker. It’s a hell of a lot to do, maybe too much but bring in Trippier & replace 4 above and they have a chance

[Against Liverpool](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1549707/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2021-2022-Liverpool-Newcastle-United), Lascelles played for 90 minutes, had 38 touches, won two aerial duels, completed 75% of his 24 passes, made one tackle, had three interceptions, made six clearances and blocked two shots.

The 28-year-old was beaten to the ball in the build-up to Liverpool’s second goal and couldn’t keep up with the Reds at Anfield. Ciaran Clark was on the bench on Thursday and might be given an opportunity if Howe doesn’t feel he can trust his club captain.

Lascelles has made [14 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jamaal-lascelles/leistungsdaten/spieler/183318) in all competitions this season, but will he make his 15th against Man City?
