We did actually deal with set pieces really well first half, so really frustrating to throw all that away
His name is Rio and he dances in the box oh Rio Rio the toon were out of luck that lad is going to have the best song ever
Kerkez seems to have all the attributes to be a great LB bar a functioning brain. Remeniscent of Moreno.
he’ll be fine when the team is set up right. He’s great going forward, we knew what we were buying, now use him properly
We managed to come through this match playing like defence was something you see at the end of a garden...whilst avoiding injuries and having a 16yr old scoring on their debut. As for Newcastle...they appear to have some bad luck with injuries...
If we defend like this on Sunday, Arsenal is going to punish us. Certainly we need to sign another CB
I was thinking laye on tjst he got elbowed in the head and should drop but he bounced up like an automaton. There may not be even a pea in there
Well it was the only patient move we made against 10 men - we were actually more patient against 11 men pressing hard.
Read this morning, that for the winning goal, every Liverpool player bar one touched the ball in the build and finish. The one who didn't, Dom who made the goal.
We just didn't want to play at 2-0. We did that all last season even at 1-0 and then need to go rasie the game again. Someone said is this going to be a hiding at 2-0 early.second half but we have only hided one side last year, West ham. We stop playing and were really not trying so every free and throw was a chance. As for slot on about frees. Mate hang on, first half you were lobbed long throws too.
All we needed to do at 2-0 and a man up, is just keep the ball. The barcodes were dropping to the halfway line, we could have played it around the back all night if wanted. They would have gotten frustrated and either get another player sent off, or we'd find a space and score.
Basic facts are that we need to improve a lot. the negatives - the centre of our defence is soft. We do not look cohesive as a team at all yet (kind of expected), we do not look fit (not expected) and Salah looks completely off the pace. good bits - out shooting from outside of the box is great! Ekitike looks promising in front of goal (early days yet). Szlob has been magnificent. We haven’t played with our first choice midfield yet and Rio….oh Rio, Rio… oh and 6/6 points while not clicking yet air not even properly fit or with our first choice midfield and RB. I’ll take it. I'm sure I missed some things but its a decent start, regardless of performances.
BBC seem desperately keen on making newcastle a lfc rival. This has never been a rivalry. Newcastle won one trophy in a billion years. We happened to be in that final. There's been loads of transfers between thr clubs before isak. This is not like Chelsea (barely one) and certai ly not like utd and Everton. Even arsenal is not really a rivalry that really speaks to anyone.
it’s journalism the world over. It’s not restricted to football at all. If I could turn the clock back on anything, it would be 24h news coverage, where air time needs to be filled and column inches written and the social media platforms that facilitate global BS in seconds. Both are a blight to our society imo. Ffs i’m on a rant now
Ridiculous isn't it. Trying to use the whole Isak thing is hilarious - their player doesn't want to play for them anymore, we've offered them a lot of money to deal with the problem... Should be the very best of friends if anything
even so CF should be there - where was fatty ? BTW by that stage i was watching thru my fingers in between regularly turning away whilst moaning in full on MITO mode
