Yoane Wissa's debut season at Newcastle was one to forget.
However, just under a year on since his £55m arrival at St James' Park, the DR Congo international is showing glimpses of the form that he displayed at Brentford.
On BBC Radio Newcastle, former Magpies defender John Anderson said Wissa was "phenomenal" in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
"He's a player who came in for a lot of criticism last season. He was thrown in at the deep end.
"Last season, he went away on international duty and picked up an injury and he never really recovered. It is a tough league when you have been out for so long."
Wissa was integral in Newcastle's build-up play against Liverpool and he created Joe Willock's goal that put the hosts 2-1 up.
"He was everywhere. For Willock's goal, what Wissa did in the middle of the park was brilliant. He left three red shirts floundering," added Anderson.
"Wissa was everything you wanted to see. We knew the type of player he was because we had seen it at Brentford.
"Hopefully, it's a sign of what's to come. If he can keep that up - scary."
