“Alan Shearer Delivers SHOCKING ‘Horrible’ Verdict After Newcastle United DESTROY Leicester City
Alan Shearer has been highly critical of Newcastle United recently.
The club legend hasn’t held back in his criticism of Eddie Howe’s team, particularly after watching them struggle with consistency. Following a disappointing 4-2 defeat to Brentford, Newcastle had earlier drawn 1-1 with Liverpool. Bruno Guimaraes described the team as a “mess” after their second-half collapse at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Shearer questioned the players’ attitude, especially why they only seem to perform well at home against the top six teams. This was a valid point, and Newcastle responded positively on Saturday.
On paper, a win over Leicester City was expected, and Newcastle delivered with a dominant 4-0 victory. Alan Shearer spoke about his satisfaction with the team’s performance on The Rest Is Football podcast, noting that the energy, pressing, and aggressive play he had previously criticized were all back.
“They were back to being a horrible team to play against,” Shearer said. “They played really well. It was an excellent all-around performance. They need to keep it up with two important games ahead.”
The win was well-received by both Shearer and the fans at St James’ Park, who showed their appreciation for Howe’s team with cheers during stoppage time. This victory could give Newcastle the momentum they need as they face two crucial matches this week.
First, they will take on Brentford in the Carabao Cup quarter-final at home, aiming for a place in the semi-finals and looking to end their long trophy drought. After that, they face a challenging away fixture against Ipswich Town at Portman Road, a match they should be able to win if they’re serious about securing European qualification.
For Newcastle, these next two wins are critical in proving that they are back to their best.
