Alan Shearer spoke about his concerns regarding Newcastle United’s current form and performance as he observed their play and results.
Alan Shearer said “It can’t have been an off day. They’re in the bottom half of the league, aren’t they? They haven’t been great. Against [Crystal] Palace, they didn’t have one effort on target all game. The goal they got was an own goal.”
Alan Shearer expressed his thoughts on what Newcastle United needs to do to improve and regain their previous high-energy and high-pressing style of play.
Alan Shearer said “It’s not great at Newcastle. Their next three games are huge because you know what happens. They have got Leicester at home at the weekend. They have got Brentford in the quarter-final at home. They have got Ipswich away so the next three games are huge. They have to get back to what Newcastle were 18 months, two years ago. Remember when we were talking about their energy and their high-pressing and all of that? It hasn’t happened enough this season and it feels as if it’s on the edge of being stale and that has to improve.”
