Newcastle United supporters identify issue that cost Magpies in goalless draw with Leeds United

Supporters have criticised Newcastle United's wastefulness in the final third, after their goalless draw against Leeds United at St James' Park ended their six-match winning streak in the Premier League.

Illan Meslier was forced into a number of saves as a stubborn Leeds defence left Newcastle frustrated. Despite dropping points, Newcastle are still unbeaten in their last 14 games across all competitions.

The Magpies still boast a four-point lead over fifth place Tottenham Hotspur, who play host to Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.

Here is how Newcastle fans have been reacting to the draw against Leeds on social media...

@milessteven001 Leeds were really stubborn, but it was a lack of quality and composure in the final third which cost us today. Creating loads of chances means nothing if you can't take them, quite frankly. We'll have to splash the cash in the January window instead. I suppose!

@AngelNUFC Such a frustrating game, and only ourselves to blame for all the chances we missed. Trippier had an off day with almost every set piece going straight to the keeper.

@KaiSanderson Work on shooting next week please, thanks.

@nufckassie Disappointing.

@nufcfletch Disappointing but we stay unbeaten. Onto next week.

@jack_1898 Still unbeaten, 3rd in the league going into 2023, successful year lads.

@johnlew_ Another point. Another clean sheet. Not what we wanted but better than a loss. We'll take it. Onto the next.

@AGeordieOfToon Pretty frustrating match to watch and quite disappointing. Onto the next.

@TricksterOT Really wasteful from Longstaff, need improvements in January.

@davorrello Ref had no control of the game. Absolute shambles! Should've finished our chances.
