Newcastle United Fans Made Their Feelings Clear After Yoane Wissa’s Debut

Newcastle United supporters are never shy about expressing their passion, and Yoane Wissa’s Premier League debut against the Magpies was no exception. The Brentford forward, known for his energy and sharp movement in the final third, stepped onto the pitch with plenty of attention on him—but the reaction from the Newcastle faithful became one of the talking points of the match.

Wissa’s debut was anticipated due to his impressive performances in pre-season and his growing reputation as a dangerous attacker. However, St. James’ Park is one of the most intimidating grounds in English football, and the home fans made sure the Congolese international felt the atmosphere from the moment he touched the ball. Newcastle supporters greeted his early touches with jeers and chants, a typical psychological tactic used by the Toon Army to unsettle opposing debutants.

But the reaction wasn’t purely negative. Many Newcastle fans acknowledged Wissa’s confidence on the ball, especially when he attempted to take on defenders and push forward with pace. Even after a few heavy touches and missed link-ups—expected nerves for any debutant—the crowd could be heard reacting with a mixture of pressure and grudging respect.

As the game progressed, Wissa’s relentless running and physical presence began to stand out. Newcastle supporters, who value work rate and determination, recognized his effort. Social media buzz after the match captured this mixed sentiment: fans admitted he was a threat but were also quick to highlight the solid defensive work of their own players who kept him from making a decisive impact.

By full-time, it was clear that Wissa had made an impression—not only on Brentford supporters but also on the Newcastle fanbase. While the Toon Army tried to rattle him, they also acknowledged that he is a player who could become a problem for many Premier League defenses once he settles fully.

Newcastle fans made their feelings clear: Wissa is talented, dangerous, and definitely one to watch. And judging by his fearless debut, he won’t shy away from the intensity of English football anytime soon.
