St James Park Kick off Saturday 6th @ 19.45 Last home game of Rafa's current contract, so should be a noisey one. Rafa saying he's not interested in doing the Scouser's any favors although not sure we'll have much say in it, depends on how much of a CL hangover they have and how many they rest to try and overturn the loss midweek. Some good match facts on the beeb this week - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48075158 Team news - Newcastle's Ayoze Perez is fit despite suffering a bruised hip at Brighton, while Jamaal Lascelles returns after missing that game through illness. DeAndre Yedlin is absent with a groin problem, while Miguel Almiron, Florian Lejeune and Sean Longstaff remain out. Don't think we will get anything out of it and a point would be massive (more in terms of the title race than for us) so going for Jim's usual prediction of 3-1 but not to us. Picture because apparently they are appreciated.
That’s more like it. We’ve managed to raise the bar in quality from garbage (Chippy and Crone) to mediocre...
Going for us to score at some point during the game, not sure if it will be enough though and Salah to dive for a pen in the first half when a heavy raindrop hits him on the shoulder 1-1
They'll definitely get a penalty going by what happened at the Fulham and Cardiff games, taking into account who's missing I can see us losing by 3 or 4.
But on this thread we are talking about Newcastle beating Liverpool and not Sunderland losing to Southend.
