England's legendary goalscorer Alan Shearer recently commented on the performances of Premier League stars such as Jacquesson, Ederson and Alisson in his personal column, and gave his views on Liverpool's title prospects and Newcastle's center forward problems.
On the goalkeeper position, Shearer said the Brazil national team manager faced a huge dilemma in choosing Alisson and Ederson. He praised Ederson as the best out-and-out goalkeeper in the Premier League, showing passing ability and footwork on many occasions to make a huge contribution to Manchester City. Meanwhile, Shearer also affirmed Alisson's strength as a world-class goalkeeper, believing that his absence would be a major blow to Liverpool.
Talking about Liverpool's title prospects, Shearer believes the Reds have been impressive this season but the next six to eight weeks will be the real test. He points out that the Reds have made an excellent start under Sloter and have made some changes and adjustments. Important matches next month will assess the Reds' true level and determine whether they can challenge Manchester City and Arsenal to win the Premier League title.
On Newcastle United's Jaksson, Shearer believes he is improving but still has a way to go. He praised Jaksson's ability and noted that he still has a lot to improve on to reach the next level. Shearer believes that Jaksson is aiming to score 20 Premier League goals this season and expects him to keep this up in the future.
Finally, Shearer spoke about Newcastle's Isaac and Wilson. He stated that both were close to returning this weekend, but their injuries have been frustrating for the club. Shearer emphasized Newcastle's need to sign a winger to fill the void in the pair's absence, as Gordon, despite his cameo as a winger, is not a proper winger. Shearer is hopeful that Isaac and Wilson can stay fit for as long as possible and contribute to Newcastle.
