Has Allan Saint-Maximin just responded to ridiculous criticism on social media? 

Allan Saint-Maximin has responded to his critics and vowed to improve by posting a photo on Instagram with the caption - ‘People forget quickly, but I know what to do to restore their memory.'

Some bizarre criticism has come his way after two last-minute defeats against Everton and Chelsea, with some fans on social media feeling he didn't offer enough when coming on from the bench in both.

The Frenchman has only just returned from injury and is yet to start since picking up a knock in a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa last month - only making 20-minute cameos in the last two games. 

Some fans have taken to social media to vent their frustrations and, in many cases, Saint-Maximin has been something of a scapegoat, particularly for the underwhelming performance at Everton. 

Here's the post he shared on his Instagram page earlier today:

Those who questioned him in recent weeks - I've seen some even suggest we'd be better off selling him this summer - will soon be singing his name when he's back fully fit and firing at St James' Park.

While the 25-year-old lacks defensive qualities - no player is exempt from criticism - to suggest that he is the sole reason we’ve lost either game is ridiculous. 

This minority of fans would do well to remember that the winger has the most goal contributions (8) at the club and was one of the only bright sparks that helped keep the team alive under Steve Bruce.
