Match Day Thread Toon v Crying Bindippers

It's a different game for Newcastle now because they're not familiar with having to break sides down, but Liverpool should be a better game for sure because they'll come to win.

 

And we haven't lost a game with Botman...

Tbf if you take the best player out of any team there is a big effect, so that theory can be levelled at most teams - ie Liverpool's title defence went to **** without VVD, imagine Spurs without Kane, Arsenal without Partey, Man City without De Bruyne etc.

 

Sheff Wed, but league aye.

 

Wot, managed to poke the ball in when Pickford decided to run flying out to the left and give him an open goal? Hardly back to his golden days.

 

Generally he looked sharper than he has done, i thought anyway.

 

My main concern is Salah plays RW and our LB has been dreadful. Liverpool will just keep going right. My hope is we go with this 4-2-3-1 so we can get Gordon to drop in and help out. I sadly doubt Targett is ready, and would have as many concerns over Lewis or Dummett, so LB is a real concern.

I think 4-3-3 will be a bad move, and playing ASM and Burn will be a mistake.

 

He scored yesterday

 

Indeed, if it's Salah and TA-A vs Maxi and Burn, then we'll have a real problem.

 

Oh yea

 

Salah will absolutely rinse big Dan Burn but big Joe he won't get much change from

 

Liverpool don't look that great but neither do we. If Wilson is and plays alongside Isak, we have a chance. Along with Gordon, Asm and Miggy, we can do them damage. That being said, BDB terrifies me and would be the worst player on the pitch by some mile. He's looked like a competition winner recently

 

With jota and the others coming back from injury they'll be much better

 

They need to get up to speed though. I reckon our match might be their last bad one before they go on some mad winning run. They could very easily catch us if we aren't careful.

 

Very easily same with Chelsea or even Brighton who look very good and aren't really being considered

 

Chelsea look flummoxed and I do not see Brighton maintaining their form (like us they'll go off the boil)

Liverpool and Spurs will spoil the party in my opinion but 6th place would be phenomenal

 

No Wembley but rolling into central at 10:45 on Saturday..LET'S GOOO

 

I have a feeling we may lose this one chaps. Lots of pace on the counter for Liverpool, we're not scoring much.

 

Referee: Anthony Taylor. Assistants: Gary Beswick, Adam Nunn. Fourth official: Craig Pawson. VAR: Chris Kavanagh. Assistant VAR: Simon Long.

We will get f all from Taylor

It's funny the only time we get the most experienced refs this season Taylor and Marriner is when we play Liverpoo

We never get them when playing say
Fulham or Palace or Wolves

 

I don’t think presents count.

 

Anthony Taylor the manc ref… always **** for us as well so don’t worry.
