Kane does look out of form, but I distinctly remember reading in a football magazine circa early '96 that Shearer 'couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo' for England.
I think the worst bit was (if that's even possible), his answer to whether there was enough fight to stay up was: "well... there's a degree of togetherness". JFC, we're down.
He will continue to blame the players for some time, yet. He will only call out Bruce when either we are down, or he's been sacked.
Was a bit jarring to come across pictures of Shearer at Alex Bruce's wedding and realise that they're all mates.
It's probably a discussion for a different thread but surely the balance of power has now firmly swing towards players? With the short tenure of managers, unless you're managed by Pep or Klopp you know that they will eventually be sacked at some point and you will outlast them. Gone are the days of Ferguson.
