Alan Shearer

Yeah, and then after that, I mean, the brilliance of Ekotike and Wurz, I thought, particularly Ekotike.

I mean, it hurts even more because Newcastle were in for him, obviously, as you know, in the summer.

But he chose to go to Liverpool, which I get, and that's fine.

But he was the difference.

His second goal was world-class.

The way... Good old-fashioned, like, toe poke, wasn't it?

When he went down on the left and then toe poked with his right foot into the corner.

What a striker.

You don't see many tall pokes around nowadays, do you?

You don't see them around that often, but his was a brilliant finish.

But then I was thinking, okay, second half, we can go at them again, but they never really got their second half and the best team won Liverpool, were the best team by a mile in the second half and deserved to take the three points.

And I think, I don't know, it sort of sums up where Newcastle are, that the manager chooses to leave

three forwards basically on the bench.

He left Vissar on the bench, left Valtamara on the bench.

Osula was on the bench.

I don't know what's that, 135, 140 million quids worth of talent.

And you go into it with a guy who hasn't scored for nearly 13 months in open play.

So it tells you where Newcastle are with their forwards at the minute.

What are you laughing at, Micah?

I can just see your shoulders giggling away there.
