Shearer Says Toon/Liverpool Match Was 'X' Rated Viewing!
Alan Shearer: "They all hold a vital role. The experienced ones, some of them will have been in this position, some of them won't.
"But I am looking to everyone, not just the experienced players. Everyone has got a huge part to play, a massive role.
"But the spirits have been reasonable this week considering we haven't won a game under myself, and hopefully that will change rather soon.
"It (the 5-1 defeat to Liverpool in December) wasn't pleasant watching, to be honest, it was a bitterly disappointing game.
"Whether it was a turning point or not, I am not quite sure, but we certainly want to avoid anything like that again."
