Shearer’s Hilarious Kerkez Commentary Mishap…
Alan Shearer had a foot-in-mouth moment on Match of the Day when he blamed Milos Kerkez for a goal, despite the defender watching from the bench, cheering on like a couch potato hopeful. Liverpool triumphed over Bournemouth with a 4-2 win in their opener as Antoine Semenyo dazzled for the Cherries. The forward scored a brace, leveling the game at 2-2 before the Reds stormed back to win. Shearer placed the blame for Semenyo’s first goal on Kerkez, overlooking his swift escape to the sidelines minutes earlier.
Fellow pundits and viewers had a chuckle as Shearer confidently told Mark Chapman and Wayne Rooney how Kerkez was out of position, a bit like trying to find your keys in Antarctica. The MOTD graphic even highlighted Kerkez as the guilty party instead of Andy Robertson, his actual replacement. Social media exploded with reactions, with fans pointing out the hilarious mix-up that made Shearer’s analysis resemble a comedy show. One user joked about Shearer’s impeccable knack for spotting benched players’ errors, cementing his moment of glory on the punditry Hall of Fame blooper reel.
