Newcastle icon and top Newcastle goalscorer Alan Shearer has criticized a couple of Newcastle players for their form and speed in the 3-1 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, Boxing Day. The players have to play themselves back into form and get their sharpness back, and they can do some of that with mini-matches in training. And Howe can even call on players he trusts, like Tino Lavramento and Emil Krafth to play in the back four – they have looked (very) good of late. But that’s what happens with a big club – just ask Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. How Will Newcastle Fare At Liverpool?
