Alan Shearer’s message to Eddie Howe
Shearer said on Premier League Productions: “If Howe didn’t already know then he does now that it’s going to take a mammoth effort in keeping this team in the Premier League.
“Those next two games, they are their season, because if they don’t take six points from them, then I struggle to think where they will get the points from.”
Newcastle in real relegation trouble
Now, we know that Newcastle have the richest club football owners in the world.
However, on the pitch, the team are really struggling.
Newcastle did play well on occasions in the second half against Arsenal.
