From the source

Buried in the weeds of yesterday’s shambolic performance against Everton was one of the more baffling decisions Matthias Jaissle has made so far during his time as Newcastle United manager.

In the 64th minute, as the Magpies searched for an equaliser, albeit in a decidedly subdued manner, the German took off Nico Gonzalez and brought on Sean Steur.

Now bringing on Steur isn’t the problem in that change. In fact, it adheres to some of the more piercing cries from the Geordie faithful who want the young Dutchman to get more minutes.
