Newcastle performed poorly in the new season and are currently ranked 14th in the Premier League. Newcastle legend and England star Alan Shearer commented on the current situation of his old club Newcastle in an interview.
Alan Shearer: "I think coaches always have to bear the pressure for results, but the work Eddie Howe has done at Newcastle and the results he has led the team to win the League Cup have accumulated a lot of 'credit' for him. In my opinion, Eddie Howe's teams have always been energetic, difficult to deal with, and did not give their opponents any space. But now, whether at home or away, this quality has disappeared. The most missing thing It's high-position pressing and energy."
"I have said before that although Walter Mader has good foot skills, he is a problem for Newcastle because he is not fast, can't press, and doesn't run behind. Look at what Isaac or Wilson do, but Walter Mader can't do it."
