Ally McCoist says Callum Wilson would have been furious with £39m Newcastle man yesterday

Newcastle United forward Callum Wilson won’t be too♓꧂ pleased with new signing Harvey Barnes after their dramatic defeat to Liverpool.

Speaking on , Ally McCoist was reflecting💯 on a brilliant match at St. James’🥃 Park.

Few fans would have seen Liverpool coming from a goal down with ten men in𓃲 the final minutes to earn three points.

Darwin Nunez was the uওnlikely hero for the visitors,🏅 powering two pinpoint finishes past Nick Pope.

Newcastle🐟 will feel they should hav♋e been out of sight by then but weren’t clinical or incisive enough when they had possession.

However, Callum Wilson will feel Harvey Barnes should have laid a chance on for him that would have doubled Newca🗹stle’s lead.

Instead, the winger went for goal himself and couldn’t find the b൲ack of the net.

The hosts were made to pay and will wonder how after dispatching Ast🅷on Villa on the opening day so easily, they’ve✃ not added to their points tally since.

Wilson has every right to be upset with Newcastle signing Barnes

Speaking about the missed chance in the second half, : “Ohܫ he’s got to man, if you’re Callum Wilson you’ll be livid.

“He’s absolutely well within his rights to be𝓰 livid. I mean I like Harvey Barnes but he’s just got to take a touch and whip it♓ in behind the defenders for Wilson to come onto it.

Andy Townse🐼nd : “It doesn’t have to be a great ball that, just stick it in front of him and ask him, ‘Go on Callum, walk onto it,🍬 hit it in.’

“So they did have their mom൲ents to maybe do it but look fair play to Liverpo💜ol it’s not easy when you’re down to ten men.”

Harvey Barnes has yet to start for Newcastle since joining from Leicester, although Alan Shearer has joked tha🌟t Eddie Howe is saving him for the Champions League.

Anthonyౠ Gordon was incredible yesterday and it’s hard to see Barnes breaking into the side ahead of him any💧 time soon.

Wils꧂on and every Newcastle fan in the ground will have wished Barnes had squared that ball given the way the match ultimately finished.

The England international is battling to get back into the starting line-up with Alexander Isa🌳k his favoured forward right now.

Missing out on that chance i▨s unlikely to have done him any favours even if it was completely out of his control.
