Liverpool v Newcastle Match Thread

[KopRed]

Their keeper is taking ages with his kicks.

 

[gene hughes]

We are playing rather poorly.

 

[FoxForceFive]

What temp does it have to be for a Newcastle fan to keep his top on?

This is a trick question.

 

[Halmeister]

This is shit because I'm watching. Sorry folks.

 

[Shadey]

I think we need to invite Newcastle on to the ball more and give us more space on the counter.

 

[FoxForceFive]

We are playing rather poorly.

We're certainly not as quick as we have been, & Firmino is not at the races so far.

We need to start turning the ball over more quickly.

 

[manwithnoname]

Similar game so far to the last relegation-threatened team we lost to a few weeks ago, not allowing any space at all and surrounding Salah whenever he gets the ball

We aren't being allowed many forward options and passing has been sloppy.

 

[6TimesaRed]

This is depressingly shite..

Slow shite..

 

[FoxForceFive]

I think we need to invite Newcastle on to the ball more and give us more space on the counter.

Nah. The chances will come.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Can did well to win that, Firmino got the ball to Salah & he can't get room to shoot.

Firmino may have been better taking it himself in hindsight.

I had freebie invite to the citeh v Newcastle game in January and it was freeezing and they had there tops off.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Making too many silly mistakes

Need to be more impulsive rather than trying to find the perfect move

 

[Halmeister]

Salah took too long there

 

[manwithnoname]

Salah swallowed up by Newcastle bodies again. Newcastle working very hard

 

[hmmmmm1]

Salah Should have taken the shot

 

[Halmeister]

Modo will be happy so far

 

[Raz]

Newcastle doing a very decent job at keeping us quiet. As expected. Think if we can get a scrappy 1st they will open up. Prays.

 

[hmmmmm1]

When the front 3 is marked this tight, you need someone in the midfield to step up.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Newcastle won't be able to keep up this pace for very long. We'll destroy them in the second half.

 

[jan]

Get Salah off corners

 

[FoxForceFive]

Get Salah off corners

Despite our best chance coming from directly from a Salah corner?

Milner should not be on the bench

He has the passing ability to open Newcastle up.. our midfield is set up far too negatively.. More so with the ox deciding today is the game he is anonymous

 

[Shadey]

Lallana for ox after half time maybe.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Firmino is really costing us chances this match. That layoff was bread & butter for him usually.

 

[Mystic]

Super ball by Can.

 

[Raz]

Henderson hasnt done anything wrong but we look one dimensional. Rather have Milner in there.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fuck, if VVD had have flung himself at that he'd have knocked it in.

No one expected everyone else to miss it though.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Henderson hasnt done anything wrong but we look one dimensional. Rather have Milner in there.

Too predictable..
Our midfield is awful.. to the point we are now by passing midfield in attempt to get it to the front 3

 

[FoxForceFive]

Henderson hasnt done anything wrong but we look one dimensional. Rather have Milner in there.

Not a huge Henderson fan but imo this isn't a game for Milner.

He needs time & space to work in, this Newcastle side are making our midfield cover ground & work for every inch.

Milner will play all our cl matches & a select few league games where we can expect more space in the midfield for him to exploit.

 

[SummerOnions]

I'd have Wijaldum over Can tbh. Swear he's given it away 4 times already!
