Alan Shearer

They were actually on the edge of the box still when the ball went in the back of the net, despite the ball going over the top.

I mean, it was just...

It was staggering, really, how much was wrong with that first goal.

And, I mean, it wasn't just defensively.

I thought they were really poor in forward positions as well.

You probably saw as well, they're highlighted where they just didn't seem to want to shoot and have a poppet goal, which is most unlike Mo Salah, where he went through and tried to pass it rather than take a touch.

Burnley, Leeds, was it Sunderland as well, I think maybe.

Yeah, it was.

Yeah, I mean, those are obviously games that they should be winning.

It seems very flat.

It seems very open, lack of spark, lack of energy.

I guess like a lot of teams, it's the same with Newcastle.

A great credit to Bournemouth, by the way, I thought, to be 2-0 and then to peg back to 2-0 and then go and get the winner, basically, with the last touch of the game.

Yeah, I don't care who you've been to or who you've played or how many changes you made.

You still have to be right at set pieces.

And the way Liverpool defend, there's no way you can excuse that for tiredness or anything.

They're just all over the place and they're miles off it defensively.

By the way, Aston Villa played in Turkey on Thursday evening and come to Newcastle and were outstanding.

Great energy.

I know he made a couple of changes, but...
