Newcastle United v Liverpool - Match Thread

[Fabio]

Every touch in the final third is heavy. Every pass into the final third is overhit

 

[Squiggles]

Not a terrible call

Only from Modo would that be an insult.

 

[MomoWASright]

Mané boss ball in and firmino’s header is saved.

 

[Red Mullet]

Darlow with another good save

 

[Atlas]

Bobby should have done better but another decent stop from the keeper.

 

[Shadey]

5/10 must try harder.

 

[Fabio]

Midfield once again is shite

Some AWFUL attempts at controlling a football from the front 3, and a strange aversion to fucking shooting

 

[Shay_K]

HT

 

[RedStar]

Great cross from Mané, tame header from Bobby, hes not switched on today

 

[ibromurph]

Phillips almost got closed down there. Would have been last man. Nice guy, but if he's struggling wish Wilson, God forbid he has to defend Martial and Rashford in a few weeks.

 

[Frogfish]

Jesus Christ. Absolutely horrible passing - Mane & TAA chief culprits but virtually everyone bar Fabs. Phillips has been lucky to get away with rash, diving in, challenges.

 

[Fabio]

Seriously. We'll be 3 points ahead of United with them having a game in hand if it stays like this(which I'm doubting it will now)

United are fucking shit

The fuck is this

 

[Whaddapie]

Wow. That was pitiful.

Other than that pass - and it was magnificent - it looks like Trent has forgotten how to play football. That midfield is stagnant. The boys up front are all just off. And Robbo's been in behind them with the right pass 4 or 5 times, we're just not seeing him.

This is brutal so far.

 

[Fabio]

Taki and thiago please for bobby and jones

 

[Frogfish]

We need to see Thiago and Shaq. on ASAP.

 

[Atlas]

Dutch Gini to come on for Jones?

Slight further forward and let Milner do the dirty work further back

 

[Frogfish]

Kudos to their keeper, two excellent saves from Mo and Bobby.

 

[RedStar]

Jones is totally anonymous, feels like hes hiding after he cost us the game against WBA. He needs to reset and play his own game or Klopp needs to hook him

 

[gkmacca]

Once again: release the Shaq!

 

[Fabio]

We need to see Thiago and Shaq. on ASAP.

Shaq or taki for me

Cunt had a good game v palace and we've rewarded him by completely ignoring him

 

[darkstarexodus]

Quite happy with my tenner on Newcastle to draw or win. Forgot to do it against West Brom, so I have to take responsibility there, lads.

You were conspicuous by your absence in the WBA match thread, btw.

 

[The Nomad]

Thiago for Jones for me.

 

[Fabio]

Shaq must have rubbed his balls on klopps toothbrush or something. Zero reason for him not to have more minutes

 

[Modo]

Yep, I don't get it. I bet Minamino, Ox and Gini will come on ahead of him.

 

[ibromurph]

I think Jones has actually picked up decent positions behind their midfield.

But Milner and Henderson (both playing well) don't have the risk-taking personality to pick a fizzed pass to him.

Thiago does.

 

[Halmeister]

I was getting bevvied.

 

[Atlas]

Also, need a couple of goals at least
Can't see us keeping a clean sheet

 

[FreshRed]

Mina is a good call for Jones, if we want more like for like. Maybe Thiago a little later for Milner or Hendo...

Also, okay if Shaq comes in. He can dribble, pick a pass and shoot from distance. He just can't defend.

Minamino against Longstaff and Hayden?

 

[Halmeister]

We have to be careful about using Thiago's 45 minutes for the next 6 months in this fixture
