Loads of Newcastle fans have been reacting to the draw at Cardiff, and they’re really not happy with Ayoze Perez’s start to the season.
There were quite a lot of standout performers in Newcastle’s dramatic surge up the table last season.
Jonjo Shelvey and Mo Diame were superb in midfield, the combination of Jamaal Lascelles and Florian Lejeune was rock solid, and the loan signings of Kenedy and Martin Dubravka made a huge difference.
Perhaps the biggest improvement of all though was from Ayoze Perez, who ended the season with eight league goals and five assists,
The 25 year-old went from strength to strength after Christmas, finally adding the consistent end product to his massive potential.

However, his form has dropped off a cliff at the start of the new season, and fans are calling for new signing Yoshinori Muto to take his place against Chelsea this weekend.
Like Perez, Muto can play as the number ten just off the central striker, and many fans want to see Muto and Salomon Rondon replace Perez and Joselu.
