A frustrated Alan Shearer dropped the F-bomb when debating Newcastle\u2019s recent struggles with Gary Lineker.<\/p>\n

The Magpies have suffered two defeats on the bounce, losing 3-0 away at Everton before suffering a 4-1 drubbing against Tottenham on Sunday. It marks a huge downturn in form for Eddie Howe\u2019s side compared to the start of the season, having also endured a number of injuries.<\/p>\n

Various news outlets have pointed out that tiredness is the reason behind Newcastle\u2019s lacklustre performances, while pundit Chris Sutton also blamed \u201cjadedness\u201d in November. But Toon legend Shearer and fellow Match of the Day star Gary Lineker were in agreement in rubbishing those claims. <\/p>\n

Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Lineker said: \u201cOverall an excellent performance from Spurs against a, I suppose, jaded looking Newcastle. I don\u2019t quite buy that. Did you ever feel jaded in your day? You just get on with it, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Shearer replied: \u201cIn fairness to Eddie Howe and the players, I\u2019ve never heard one of them say that they\u2019re tired. But all I keep hearing is reporters and presenters and pundits saying how tired they must be. <\/p>\n

\u201cForgive me for thinking anything different but isn\u2019t it their f***ing job to play football? Isn\u2019t that what they get paid for?<\/p>\n

Do you agree with Alan Shearer? Let us know in the comments section.<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cCome on, Al,\u201d BBC colleague Micah Richards pleaded, before Shearer added: \u201cIt\u2019s a lack of options in the final twenty minutes for Newcastle – not a tiredness thing – and I\u2019ll never accept that players play too much football because they have the best sports science, best pitches and best physios.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to say: \u201cThe problem is that from the age of seven, for the last twenty years, all we\u2019ve ever heard is that \u2018you can\u2019t play more than three games a week – you\u2019re playing too much football\u2019. Do me a f***ing favour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lineker agreed, saying: \u201cAbsolutely, Alan. I\u2019ll say one thing, in the last 20 years, the two greatest footballers on this planet have hardly missed a football match.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Whatever the reason may be behind Newcastle\u2019s recent defeats, Howe will hope for a quick solution as they eye a decisive Champions League fixture against AC Milan on Wednesday. The north-east club need a victory at home, while hoping that Kylian Mbappe\u2019s PSG fall short against Dortmund, if they are to progress to the last-16.<\/p>\n

Their form has also seen them drift away from the top-four in the Premier League. Newcastle currently sit seventh in the table, seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.<\/p>\n
