He is supposedly England best striker, he is supposedly the only hope for Newcastle United but Alan Shearer's biggest problem is he is a complete waste of talent.

Yes he is England best striker and yes he is Newcastle's only hope for the future but Alan has to start scoring goals before he can take the next step. And why is it Alan Shearer can't score goals well its because of the lack of service he receives.

Any striker in the world from Ronaldo to Gateshead striker Keith Fletcher will not score goals if the service is there for them. And is the service there for big Al well the simple fact is NO. For instance Temuri Ketsbaia is not the best striking partner in the world is he. He never looks up and he just runs with the ball and on his mind is glory. Not for Newcastle but for himself. For example against Southampton when we got beat 4-2 Ketsbaia didn't realise the great conditions for supplying Alan with plenty of opportunities. The surface was very greasy and if Shearer just got the ball once and had low hard dig the chances are 85% of the time it would of gone in.

Also Alan has probably the best heading ability of any striker in the world along with Duncan Ferguson. Where do the crosses come from for anyone in the box to get onto well it is Peruvian Nolberto Solano. By the time Nobby looks up to cross the ball the opposition's defence has already realised Shearer or Ferguson has broken away and they are charged down.

What we need is another Ginola or a Darrenn Anderton who have good crosses and are going to assist goals. We have a new man now that is going to do that. Kieron Dyer is probably the best up and coming England player at the moment. He will supply ammunition as well as score them himself. In the early games of the season Dyer was sprinting and creating space for himself but Ketsbaia and Solano were not realising these great opportunities for a goal. The only time this happened was both at Southampton and against Sunderland. At Southampton his forward run resulted in him been fouled and Alan Shearer getting his only goal of the season from a spot kick. Against Sunderland young Robinson put the ball through for Dyer and he slotted it by Tommy Sorenson.

If Newcastle and Alan Shearer are going to score goals it will be the managers job to sort out the supply line and that is the job of the midfield especially the wings which Newcastle are currently lacking in. If Anderton is failing to agree terms at Spurs why not swoop in and get him. Alan Shearer would have a field day with his crosses not to mention Duncan Ferguson.

Some key players that Newcastle might be interested in are Anderton, Panzanaro (Juventus Youth), Ginola (shouldn't of left), Dominguez (Not a graham player) and Mark Overmars who is finding it hard to break into the Arsenal first team.
We also want a midfielder who is going to win the ball in midfield. We had one called David Batty who would anchor in midfield and was probably the biggest battler of them all. You need a player like this to get the ball off the opposition and actually get it to the supply line who then set up the strikers. This is how the system works. You want to central midfielders with stability and guts and two fast wingers with a deadly cross. Again this system is 100% proof. Look at Manchester United. Two great central midfielders of Roy Keane and Paul Scholes with Giggs and Beckham on the wing. How amny times have you seen Keane disposess the opposition from the ball and then send it wide to Giggs or Beckham who get in a deadly cross and you then see Cole or Yorke header the ball into the back of the net. Newcastle have completely missed on this and if nothing is done soon we will soon be kicking the bucket.
