Alan Shearer’s Hot Take on Liverpool’s Performance…
Alan Shearer was not too pleased as he watched Rio Ngumoha snatch victory for Liverpool with a last-minute goal against Newcastle. Despite two wins in the Premier League, Shearer found himself more annoyed than when someone accidentally microwaves a sandwich wrapped in foil. On his podcast, he criticized the Reds’ defense, mentioning Milos Kerkez’s struggles and the unsettling chaos on the field. While Liverpool snagged the win and showed resilience, it seems there’s no magic wand to fix their defensive woes just yet.
Reflecting on this chaotic encounter, Arne Slot remarked how the game felt oddly familiar, akin to a game of pinball trapped in an amusement park. Slot expressed how thriving in Newcastle’s electrifying atmosphere meant more than any comfortable victory. Although Liverpool’s set-piece defense could use a bit of TLC before hosting Arsenal, snagging six points like a kid hoarding candies is a promising start, even if they’ve been flying by the seat of their pants.
