Alan Shearer

And you're playing two or three times a week.

Especially after a match.

You think you're fine, then you hit the stairs the next morning and your knees start negotiating early retirement.

And that's all well and good until you stop and think, who's actually in charge?

It's like letting someone loose with the keys, but not knowing what doors they can open or which ones they shouldn't.

Which means every agent has a clear identity, clear permissions and a clear line of accountability.

Can't do two shifts.

We know that.

He can't do two shifts.

Honestly, they were so... I mean, for the first goal, I don't know whether you saw it on Match of the Day last night.

Well, we highlighted all three goals and how they could and should have done better.

But I think particularly the first goal would give me most concern if I was a fan because...

I mean, Van Dijk absolutely should do better, should clear it.

I know he said a bit windy, but that's got nothing to do with it.

He should clear it.

And then he didn't do anything.

In fact, he tried to pull himself away from blocking the cross, which was really strange.

But then...

Gomez should have been further over to closer to Evan Nielsen.

I mean, and the two fullbacks in Kirkes and in Frimpong were just like, I was thinking, they were just non-existent.
