"Perhaps it is time for manager Eddie Howe to have a word with Woltemade that these things would not be accepted at the club. Players can hardly get away with such theatrics in the modern game. With the scrutiny these days on the players and how they act on the field plus the addition of VAR in the game now, players should act more responsibly on the pitch."
"I tell you what, naughty Nick Woltemade, Rob I tell you, he was out of order, Sutton said. But the winner of this week's simulation game, Josh King, the king of the divers for Fulham. He's a fine young player, but just stop it Josh. It doesn't matter who you are or where you play, we will call you out."
Nick Woltemade joined Newcastle United from the Bundesliga to replace Alexander Isak and scored on his Premier League debut. He has since failed to score again. A soft tumble in the box during the match against Bournemouth drew sharp criticism and raised questions about his conduct and how he wants to be remembered at St. James' Park. Calls emerged for manager Eddie Howe to address theatrical behaviour. Increased VAR scrutiny and fan expectations make responsible on-field conduct essential for Woltemade to win over supporters. Repeated theatrics would likely erode goodwill from supporters and undermine his long-term standing at the club.
