Sheffield United 2-2 Newcastle United - Player Ratings

9. Papiss Cisse - 6 (Replaced By Adam Armstrong After 80 Minutes)

A curling effort from the edge of the area after only 90 seconds cannoned off the far left-hand post of the Sheffield Utd goalframe, but that's about as good as it got for Papiss Cisse in south Yorkshire. Still determined to come deep to try and link up play, Cisse continued to be largely anonymous, just as he has been in the last couple of matches. Newcastle clearly feel Aleksandar Mitrovic will offer the Magpies a lot more of an all-round game going forward, and Cisse is not really doing enough at the moment to justify a starting place ahead of the Serbian (who could play in one of Newcastle's last two pre-season games).

Adam Armstrong - 5.5

Had very little time to make an impact after being brought on in the 80th minute - and he failed to do so.
