Alan Shearer was filled with reward for Newcastle United after their demolition of Leicester Metropolis on Saturday afternoon.
Jacob Murphy’s brace and one other purpose for Alexander Isak was added to by Bruno Guimaraes in a cushty 4-0 victory over Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Foxes at St. James Park.
The Premier League’s file goalscorer went on to reiterate that Toon want to seek out consistency forward of the Carabao Cup quarter-final in opposition to Brentford.
Responding to Gary Lineker – an avid Leicester Metropolis followers – on the Relaxation Is Soccer Podcast, Shearer rubbed it in and defined why it was a much-improved efficiency:
“I’ve not seen such a one-sided recreation for a very long time! I used to be there, I had a few pints, and it was so one-sided from begin to end. 4-0 did you (Gary Lineker) a favour…it ought to’ve been seven or eight!
“The Toon have been proper again at it. I stated the earlier week concerning the lack of power, the shortage of urgent – all of these issues have been again,” he stated.
“Gordon was on that left facet and so they have been again to being a horrible workforce to play in opposition to. They performed actually, rather well. It was a very good all spherical efficiency. They should stick with it. They’ve received two essential video games [this week]”
Shearer rightly alludes to the large video games forward. If Newcastle can replicate the “one-sided” efficiency in opposition to the Bees on Wednesday the prospect of a semi-final awaits.
It begs the above query in a season tormented by inconsistencies. The momentum should construct from right here.
That degree of dominance, with 27 makes an attempt on purpose to Leicester’s 4, was a step in the correct route and the power ranges have been again as we swarmed throughout a poor Foxes facet who merely couldn’t get out.
The spectacular efficiency in opposition to Liverpool initially of the month preceded the ill-fated journey to Brentford, and this opportunity for redemption for the 4-2 defeat have to be capitalised on.
Let’s hope the Toon are ‘at it’ in opposition to tomorrow evening, with Brentford’s away kind (performed eight, misplaced seven, drawn one) handing us an enormous likelihood to e-book a spot within the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
