Anthony Gordon has hit out at Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer after they criticised his attitude during Newcastle's 1-1 draw against Barcelona on Tuesday. Rooney added: 'Eddie Howe said before the game he probably has 20 or 30 minutes in him. However, Gordon took issue with these comments and shed light on the situation, before accusing the pundits of spreading a false narrative. 'The team played great, but saying I didn't want to play in the biggest game of my career is absolute nonsense.' Don't get distracted, don't absorb it, don't take anything in - just focus on what you need to do.
