Alan Shearer is a Newcastle United legend, but he does not shy away from the brutal truth when it comes to his beloved club.Rafael Benitez’s side were always expected to have a difficult time of it in the Premier League following last season’s promotion from the Championship.So far, there have been positives and negatives from the Magpies’ first six matches and they currently reside ninth in the standings.It was a lacklustre start for Newcastle as they suffered back-to-back defeats in their opening two matches against Tottenham Hotspur and fellow promoted side Huddersfield Town.Benitez and his team managed to turn their fortunes around with wins over West Ham United, Swansea City and Stoke City, but their positive run ended on Sunday.Last season, Newcastle and Brighton battled it out for first place in the second tier, with the North-East outfit just edging it.At the weekend, though, it was Chris Hughton’s team who came out on top with a 1-0 win at the Amex Stadium.Shearer, who spent 10 years at Newcastle during his playing career, gave a frank assessment of the result on Twitter.
