Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has commented on a slightly concerning performance by the Magpies in their frustrating 2-2 draw with West Ham on Sunday.
Having enjoyed a famous win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in midweek, Newcastle weren’t quite at their best in their trip to the London Stadium.
Shearer feels Alexander Isak showed his frustration at one point, as things were going so badly for Newcastle.
“It was a really slow start in the first-half, they never got going at all,” Shearer said.
“There was no intensity, there was no support, no energy, no press.

“Everything that was about Newcastle’s game that was impressive, it includes all of those things, but it just didn’t happen.
“Just watch Isak’s reaction here, he is looking around, crying out for some help and, look, he’s saying is there any chance of some support up there.”

Lively, the Madrid derby between Altético and Real saw two teams go blow for blow on the lawn of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and this in every sense of the word. This is what earned Angel Correa an expulsion shortly after the hour mark (64th). The Argentinian who entered at the break was penalized for an elbow on Antonio Rüdiger. A decision by Jesus Gil Manzano confirmed by video arbitration, but who is really struggling to go to the Colchoneros side. After the meeting, the club’s twitter account notably published a photo of Angel Correa who, it seems, was the victim of scratches.
Decisive passer for José Maria Giménez, Antoine Griezmann was measured at the microphone of bein Sportsbut lamented the decision: “Red welded us together. We had to work for each other. But it’s a shame, I think the referee had control of the match and in the end he gets tricked by Militao. That’s how it is, it’s football.” If the Frenchman prefers above all to retain the positive, his teammate Stefan Savic unpinned at the microphone of DAZN : “we were angry because we couldn’t win at the end, we came here to look for victory. Today, it could not have been played on an equal basis again, I don’t know why, but it always happens.

Simeone and Oblak bang their fists on the table!
A posture in the face of arbitration also held by his coach Diego Simeone: “it could be yellow, but if you send off a player for this situation, there would be no more players on the field. In our case it becomes normal and it would be nice if we could all play the same […] the expulsion, can be interpreted with the vision of the referee who is close to the game and the movement of Correa, but there is also the VAR and we have the possibility of seeing that the contact does not have the necessary violence to knock a player down the field. We don’t know if he (the referee, editor’s note) was called up or not (by the VAR, editor’s note). Rudiger is tall, Correa is short…”

A two-speed arbitration, such is the posture of Atlético de Madrid, which considers that it has been wronged and not for the first time against Real Madrid. The Slovenian goalkeeper of the Matellasiers, Jan Oblak was also sharp in his words and sent a hell of a tackle: “In the last five derbies, we got a red card. Next time we may start directly with one less player. Strange things are happening lately.” Badly digesting this result, Atlético de Madrid can nevertheless be satisfied with a good production on this match and a positive dynamic of result. There is no doubt, however, that this may be a little light to cool particularly scalded spirits…
