Liverpool v Newcastle Match Thread

I have to say, it's been a joy watching Oxlade running into space behind their midfield this game.

Mane!

 

[KopRed]

Mane!!! What a move!!

 

[Red Mullet]

Mane with the 2nd

Brilliant finish. Saw it coming - could tell it was inevitable as soon as the ball was into his path.

We have to get a second goal, we don't have that Mourinhoesque resolve to hold on to a 1-0 for 45 minutes... scratch that we just scored! Oh Mane Mane!!!!

Was just about to say Newcastle are pressing higher up the pitch and then we score. Get in

What a pass from Firmino, Mane smashes it in. Lovely finish

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Great goal

 

[hmmmmm1]

Great finish from mane

Agree. He runs with pace and power. Doesn't always make the right decision but scares the shit out of the defenders.

 

[Shay_K]

Now that's a goal

 

[KopRed]

Love the mimicking celebration from Mane.

 

[Mamma Mia]

I fucking love Bobby

Firmino has been much better this half, it's made a real difference to how fast we're playing the ball.

It's mad to think we thought Mane had a great season last year and "only" scored 13, and has been poor this year and scored 14 so far. Just Salah raising expectations?

Yeah, that's partly it, although Mane did have a poor spell, and it wasn't just about a lack of goals. He's certainly not been quite as fluent, still

Klopp was obv aware of it cos he mentioned training with him to get him playing central cutting in from the left & building his confidence doing it, & then said the other week "He's back" after the game.

His best work comes in the centre when he starts out wide, so assume it has been a learning process transferring that play from one side to the other having been shifted over.

Gayle going off.

I'm happy with that.

 

[Shadey]

Who we playing next anyone decent?

 

[manwithnoname]

Big Virg is having a good start to his life as the (current) Most Expensive Defender In The World

Could it be something to with Mane bring moved from his favoured right side? He prefers playing on the right, yet has scored more goals this season on the left than he did on his favoured right side. Hopefully next season when he gets to grip with playing on the left the rhythm that he enjoyed in his first season will return.

Away to the scum

 

[manwithnoname]

Kop applauding the Ashley chants then?

We're yet to see his impact on free kicks too, he can really ping them in the box but we've not given him the chance yet (presumably cos we don't trust the rest of the defence to cover yet if they break from it).

 

[KopRed]

Robbo looks injured. Fucking yank.

Away to the scum

Got a training match against Porto on Tuesday first.

Like to see Solanke and Ings get some minutes although we have to be careful. Porto might know they've been beaten but they will play for pride so it won't be easy as we expect.

Commentator saying Lallana is coming on soon.
