Alan Shearer's Newcastle are staring relegation in the face after
a 3-0 mauling against Liverpool at Anfield.
And for the former England captain, in temporary charge of the Geordies,
there was even the humiliation of hearing the Kop chant: ''You should
have stayed on the telly'' and ''Alan Shearer, football genius.''
To his credit, Shearer saw the funny side, and strolled to the
touchline from the bench to applause from his tormentors.
But there was no funny side for his team, who were tormented by
a Liverpool side that kept their own title dreams alive and maintained
pressure on leaders Manchester United.
Liverpool scored in the first-half through Yossi Benayoun and Dirk
Kuyt, with substitute Lucas heading the third in the final minutes.
