Match Day Thread Newcastle Utd v Liverpool

How do we know the Russians aren't just showing their support for Zanj? We're interpreting the Z as being a fascist war symbol, but what if it's just Zanjinhos fanclub?

Well he never did like voronin.

Maybe the whole thing is a giant anti voronin move to please the giant baldy batard.

Andre Marriner has been confirmed as the referee for Newcastle United's penultimate home game of the season against Liverpool on Saturday (12:30pm kick-off).

 

Voronin is Ukranian

 

Think that’s the point… hate on Voronin to please Putin.

Actually, I did like Voronin. Just wasn't good enough unfortunately

 

LAWRO HAS GONE FOR AWAY WIN:

Newcastle v Liverpool (12:30 BST)
Villarreal did not really pose Liverpool too many problems in their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, but I'd expect Newcastle to be much more of a threat going forward.

They won't be gung-ho or anything like that, but the way they have kicked on in the past few weeks means they go into this game without being under any pressure whatsoever.

City have led the Premier League for 144 out of 145 days since 4 December. Their remaining league games are against Leeds (a), Newcastle (h), Wolves (a), West Ham (a) and Aston Villa (h). Liverpool must play Newcastle (a), Tottenham (h), Aston Villa (a), Southampton (a) and Wolves (h)
All of the Magpies' January signings have done well, especially Bruno Guimaraes, who looks the real deal, and they are getting results.

Eddie Howe made a few changes to freshen up his team for their win over Norwich last weekend, including playing Joelinton through the middle, and they all seemed to work.

After winning four games in a row, Newcastle will be full of confidence but, if that means they are even slightly more open than usual this weekend, that will suit Jurgen Klopp's side.

I'm sure Howe's plan will still be to make sure they are difficult to beat, but I don't think the home fans will settle for seeing them put 11 men behind the ball for 90 minutes and just play for a point.

The problem there is that Liverpool are at a different level to any of the sides Newcastle have just beaten - the Canaries, Crystal Palace, Leicester and Wolves.

Also, the way the Reds are playing makes me think they will get the result they need, no matter who is in their team. They are just in that zone.

Lawro's prediction: 0-2

Will's prediction: Newcastle are in good form but Liverpool should still take this one. 1-2

 

The Z is white....

 

If we do lose, we know to blame it on Zanjinho and his change of picture for no reason

 

We'll ****ing smash'em

 

It's going to be tough. Newcastle has won their last six at home Liverpool is a different proposition.

 

They don't have anything to play for but are in good form. Bit worried about this one.

 

Our record v bottom half sides is absolutely punishing.

If Newcastle don't press our cbs then we will dominate the game.

It's just about speed of play then. Last early kick off it took us 2 minutes to get the ball out of our own feet each time.

 

I'd rather they pressed the CBs

 

Meh.

What I dont get is how villareal didn't park the two banks of 4 and push the so called forwards onto our cbs. Even just shut the lanes and force us to back pass.

If sides surrender that half to us they lose every time.

We have 15wins and 1 mad draw v Brentford v the bottom half.

6 goals against and 3 came v Brentford away.

So thi k about that. 3 goals in 15 games conceded.

3 goals per game scored.

 

I only hope he does the right thing and bans himself if that happens.

 

Seeing as he doesn't ban anyone, I'm not sure he knows where the button is
