Newcastle United suffered another defeat to Everton on Monday with Alan Shearer offering a brutal verdict on their performance

Alan Shearer has brutally claimed Newcastle United offered "nothing at all" in their Premier League defeat to Everton. Thierno Barry's strike just after half-time settled the contest in favour of the visitors to St. James' Park, with the Magpies managing just two shots on target, both of which came beyond the 75th minute.

Just a few days earlier, Newcastle were beaten and outplayed by David Moyes' side in the Carabao Cup. In front of the home supporters and under the lights, this was their chance to provide a response, but the Toffees were once again superior in all departments.

Matthias Jaissle and his players were booed off at half-time and at the final whistle, with Shearer later making his feelings clear on the display.

He wrote on X: "Well done Everton. Much better than Newcastle. Nothing at all from the Toon. Very very poor [angry face emoji]."

Everton's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall controlled much of the game while the likes of Harvey Barnes and Joe Willock struggled to get involved. Jacob Murphy, Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey were all thrown on by Jaissle, with the latter duo both going close late on.

The game ended disastrously for Ramsey, however, with two cautions in quick succession resulting in a red card which will see him suspended for the trip to Fulham.

Newcastle have won just two of their last seven games in all competitions and have regularly failed to create chances. A lack of creativity in midfield likely did not help matters with Nico Gonzalez and Joelinton starting as the pivot.

Jaissle seemingly defended his selection and suggested that the players did not adhere to his instructions despite a great week of training.

He said: "There is big frustration and disappointment. We could not transfer what we saw in the week, training in a high level. Since the start of the game, not much was seen. That is difficult to understand.

"We were not brave enough to break the line and play on the ground. We saw it in training, but there was almost nothing to see from these aspects in the game. In possession, this was not the level we wanted to see.

"We have a clear identity of how we want to play. To bring the opposition in stressful situations high in the pitch. We spoke about creating 1-on-1 situations. The plan was not to shoot the long balls."

When asked what the approach was after the first half was filled with long balls from the back, he said: "Yeah, you're right, that was the frustrating part. We played with a double-six today, we should support our centre-backs and also break the first line, like we had many, many occasions when we were in Everton.

“We couldn't bring them into the game, we were not brave enough, not courageous enough to break that line. We wanted to play on the ground as well, and then finding our patterns on the pitch.

“Like I said, we looked really good in the training session, but there was almost nothing to see from these aspects in the game."
