Pre Match - Newcastle (a) - PL - Sat 12:30

[Tinto]

Really should have got another goal or two but a good win

 

[Red Mullet]

Good result against an in form Newcastle.

 

[Red Bird]

Job done. Over to you pep

What, you mean there’s a match this evening?

 

[Judge Jules]

The kind of scrappy victory you have to chalk up to win things.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Good win, away from home against a form team.
I do fear our GD advantage will be gone by tonight.

 

[Red Bird]

Negotiated a tricky early kickoff as well.

Kudos.

This.

 

[The Nomad]

Diaz was absolutely immense today.

Milner put in a good display too.

Big 3 points.

 

[Red rose]

I love it but it’s also torture for me haha

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

7 wins to go (6 and a draw for us boring folk)

 

[Alan Hardaker]

Work rate was amazing today. Worries about the midfield didn't bother us, in fact I'd say that's the best midfield performance work rate wise all season. Milly, Keita and Hendo all 3 were fantastic today.

 

[rubans]

Naby, Gomez and Milner excellent today.
The others all good too.

 

[MomoWASright]

The moaning arses in here need to have a word with themselves.

The moaning arses in here need to have a word with themselves.

I will never

It's all part of the plan

 

[ibromurph]

Keita MOTM
Diaz close behind.
Gomez/Millie/Robbo third.

 

[Fabio]

Keita
Diaz
Gomez

 

[Frogfish]

Keita MOTM
Diaz close behind.
Gomez/Millie/Robbo third.

I think I'd go :

1. Keita
2. Milner
3. Gomez

But Diaz had a good game with less end product to those above. Robbo had a good game too as did Hendo.

 

[Shay_K]

Keita now in contention for starts from now on.

 

[ibromurph]

Most complete Keita performance I've seen.

Barring one bizarre shot when we had men over, everything he did today oozed class.

He looked like a black Thiago with his ball control and passing into space.

Let's hope he is coming into form at the right time for us.

 

[mom]

Keita is always has the ability and engine. A load of injuries scattered across his time with us has really held him back. Is he top drawer? No. But he’s much better than many would have you believe

 

[mark1975]

I don't think anyone ever doubted he is a good player. I don't think we got what we expected, there were alot of Stevie G type comparisons when he was joining. Klopp has been amazingly indulgent with him, when at times he didn't derserve it. Having him and Thiago fit has been a massive difference.

 

[The Nomad]

1. Diaz
2. Milner
3. Keita

Gomez and Robbo were good.

But you could probably make an argument for any of those 5.

 

[Farkmaster]

Keita is great in games where things are going our way. I'd like to see him have a bit more when they aren't.

 

[Stevesquash]

Keita is great in games where things are going our way. I'd like to see him have a bit more when they aren't.

Pretty difficult for him to do that presently as every game is going our way 😀

Bloody delighted with 3 points, big players rested, others stepping up well, TOP OF THE LEAGUE.

7 more wins pretty please...

 

[Buddha]

Keita is great in games where things are going our way. I'd like to see him have a bit more when they aren't.

He coolly scored the only goal in a tough and scrappy away game. Isn’t that what you’re after?

 

[Red rose]

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Looks like he may be leaving us ...

 

[MomoWASright]

I think he came off thinking he can’t do it anymore. I was listening to carragher about when he knew it was time. It just wasn’t the pace, but you can’t jump as high, hit the ball as hard and react as quick as you want. Once that doubt creeps in you are done at the top.

[Modo]

Or it was the aftermath of him getting smashed in the head with the ball.
Cause if this game proved anything, it is that he still got it. For 60-70 mins at least. Milner was alright.

Indeed. We wouldnt have scored had it not been for him winning the ball.
