Alan Shearer's message to Eddie Howe and Newcastle fans after Liverpool defeat - Video
Alan She insists there should be ‘no panic’ around Newcastle after we suffered a very late defeat to 10-man Liverpool despite going ahead early.
The BBC pundit admitted that the loss is hugely disappointing, accepting we’ve ‘got to finish them off’ from that position, but was keen to remind us that we've just lost to two ‘really good teams’ in Liverpool and Man City.
As Shearer says, it doesn't get much easier this weekend as we travel to Brighton. However, he's urged fans to stay calm and the players to pick themselves up, get back on the training pitch and put things right at the Amex on Saturday.
There's no getting away from the devastating nature of yesterday's defeat, but it's good to see our former number nine be the voice of reason on Match of the Day 2 last night, just when social media was full of rage, negativity and shock.
Watch the full clip here:
“There’s no panic. Disappointing, particularly the position that you are in.
“When you have a team on the ropes, like they had Liverpool. They have got to finish them off.
“They had the chances. But no panic, they have played two really good teams in Liverpool and Manchester City. They play another one next weekend against Brighton.
“So it is back to training tomorrow and then working towards next weekend. But no panic.”
