    <peacedove>Now Monday, we are yet to play on Saturday or Sunday. Because of Alex Alexander's saga this game has taken another dimension. Last season it finished a draw, Newcastle will like to put a dent on Liverpool's chance of retaining the title .Whoever is the referee has to be very strong here .It is going to be a difficult here,
    Referee is not yet appointed for this game.
    Game: Newcastle v Liverpool
    Date: 25th of August 2025

    This game will be spicy.

    It required a very strong ref as the atmosphere will be poisonous and kicking are likely.

    Someone could decide kicking lumps out of Ekitike will.make them a hero so if a ref offers no protection we need to be ready.

    As I said on the other thread this should be at worst 0-0

    However we cannot defend and if we give up the amount of set peice we did v Bournemouth there will be trouble.

    I want to see good clearances, not half arsed ****e that gives corners away

    I want to see pulling and dragging in the box. Schaar and burn should be wrapped up tight by the likes of szoboszlai and no way should midgets be allowed near them

    This is going to be a vitriolic **** house where we have to be ready to fight.

    They can continue the self harm all the like with isak. There's going to be nothing but fake stories all week about it.

    Will shock no one but I think a draw is our best hope here - with Arsenal up straight after I think we need a win - City could be 6clear after first three games

    big big game this

    Edit
    I was being optimistic
    Didn’t realise it was a Monday - don’t like MNF

    I've gone 0-1 dan burn header in the prediction

    If we get out of there with no suspensions or injuries I'll be happy.

    There's going to be monumental cheating and thuggery out of newcastle

    They are the best pressing unit in the league imo so I'm not expecting much.

    Individual quality got us 3 goals there last year and we'll probably need something similar to get anything.

    Also,I hope our 0-0 draw against them in January 2026 won't be too costly <laugh>

    They were also trash at anfield and we easily beat them 2-0


    The 3-3 was not very good for us.

    Their first was again a wide open back 2 with no real challenge backing off isak who hammered an unstoppable shot

    Their second was tripe defending by konate who let isak walk past him to get onside and then play it to Gordon. Zero real support and a bad shape.

    Of course gomez was rb and again he usually over runs a block so he never picked up Gordon either.

    Then kelleher let's and easy ball over his head and schaar did well to get it back in.

    Honestly its going to be down to central cover. (As in 6 stand in your ****ing position and dont wander off)

    Bournemouth left 3 up for the counter. You cannot leave it 3 v 3 if they are doing things like that. There should be platy of space to cut them open
