Rafa Benitez has urged his Newcastle players to mute their televisions whenever pundits analyse the Magpies' performances, unless it's Alan Shearer.
Benitez's side have been on the end of some damning verdicts so far this season, having started the season disastrously.
They have only registered the single victory, a 1-0 win over Watford on Saturday. Top pundits across the country have claimed that Newcastle’s squad is not strong enough to stay up in the Premier League this season.
To help his squad avoid this, Benitez has ordered that his players mute their televisions when pundits speak about Newcastle.
