Newcastle United suffered a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool on Thursday, but there were a number of players who put in a good performance at Anfield. Ryan Fraser was one of them and vindicated Eddie Howe’s decision to start him, resulting in fans on social media showering him in praise.
The 27-year-old has spent most of the season on the bench and as an unused substitute due to inconsistent form and fitness woes. Fraser had started only four Premier League games this season prior to the Liverpool clash but may keep his place when Manchester City come to St James’ Park on Sunday.

Against Liverpool, Fraser played for 86 minutes, had 27 touches, completed 53.3% of his 15 passes, whipped in two crosses, made one tackle, had three interceptions, made one clearance, gave away one foul and won two freekicks.
The Scotland international, who’s scored four goals with seven assists in 22 games for his country, has made 13 appearances in all competitions, notching one assist. Fraser hasn’t had the best campaign, but he might get a run of games now after impressing on Merseyside. Fans certainly hope so.
