Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has defended Magpies midfielder Joe Willock after a fan questioned his recent performances in a Live Q&A for the Athletic.
Willock has been a key cog in Eddie Howe's well-oiled machine so far this season and has contributed two goals and two assists in 15 appearances to the Magpies cause - with both goals coming in their final two matches before the winter break - in what has been an excellent start to their Premier League campaign.
But some football fans aren't convinced by the youngster, including a fan of his former club Arsenal who put the question to Shearer that Willock was an 'unrefined player'.
