Willock hasn't started a game for the Howe's side this season, but came on in the second half against Wolves and got the assist for Barnes' winner. Shearer feels Willock offers something different and now is the time to use him regularly.
Shearer highlighted Willock's versatility, noting, 'whether he plays in the front three, or as a midfielder left over three, then he's a real threat as well.' He believes Willock is a huge part of Newcastle's success this season due to his energy and ability to penetrate defenses.
With midfield competition at Newcastle being fierce, including players like Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton, Shearer suggested that a front three role might be Willock's best opportunity for regular playing time. His unique skill set adds a different dimension to the team.
