"They are well aware of their mistakes and other people's mistakes.
Shearer Points The Finger At Ashley!
"They are well aware of their mistakes and other people's mistakes.
"I think they know what's been done right and what's been done wrong. Staying in this league will give them the chance to rectify that.
"The squad is unbalanced. You can't go into a season with one person in one position. At some time that player is going to get injured, as has happened with Jose Enrique at left-back.
"I knew the situation when I took the job, so I'm not complaining.
"We had meetings before I took it and we've had meetings over the past week about what we believe has gone right and what's gone wrong. They are definitely aware.
"They're new to football and they're going to make mistakes, but there have been some big mistakes.
"Whose fault is it? Everyone will have their own opinion on that. But it's important the same mistakes aren't made again."
