8 Newcastle Players Who Should Be Embarrassed To Wear The Shirt
6. Papiss Cissé
A slightly harsh addition in some ways considering the fact Papiss Cissé 11 Premier League goals this campaign could keep Newcastle United in the division - but the striker has also accrued suspensions totalling 10 matches in all. First of all the Senegalese forward was given a three-match retrospective ban for elbowing Everton's Séamus Coleman in December, before he was then handed a seven-game suspension for allegedly spitting in the face of Manchester United's Jonny Evans. Neither of those actions can be tolerated as they bring disdain to the the Newcastle shirt - plus the nine games Cissé has missed to date through suspension have failed to bring a win for the Magpies. This could prove costly come the end of the season.
