Alan Shearer blasts ‘PATHETIC’ Newcastle after his former club went 3-0 down before half time against Manchester City

Alan Shearer went to social media to express his frustrations during the Newcastle collision with Man City.

The side of Eddie Howe came in the collision in the Etihad to bounce back after a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Fulham in early February.

However, the magpies would soon come to the back foot at the Premier League champions house, with Pep Guardiola breaking the impasse after just 19 minutes.

After a poor Champions League that was shown in the midweek, the urban goalkeeper Ederson de Provider, with his long kick to find Omar Marmoush who lobed an attacking Martin Dubravka to place the hosts at the front.

The assist marked the sixth of the Brazilian in the Premier League, more than any other goalkeeper in the history of the competition.

Marmoush was again in the heart of the action, only a few minutes later, while the Egypt International cut in before he added a second goal to his count.

Savinho turned out to be a constant threat to the city during the first half and found Marmoush with a loss cross that tapped briefly to complete his hat trick only 14 minutes after opening the score.

During the half-time interval, Shearer focused on the performance of Newcastle, with a special focus on their defense.

He wrote on X: 'Reduced every challenge. A pathetic 45 minutes from Newcastle. '

The unfortunate defense of Newcastle held a large part of the second half before James McATee came off the bank to add a fourth goal and to get the misery on the side of Eddie Howe.
