Match Day Thread Newcastle v Liverpool

Beni that should be 1-0

 

That was a better chance than it first appeared

 

Too predictable.

 

Our mid week 2nds team looked 10x better than this.

 

I'm nervous. We're dominant but don't look like scoring.

Benteke probably our best chance at scoring but positional awareness seems poor today. When he gets a chance he flubs it.

Hope we see Sturridge today or this could be points dropped.

 

Klopp yelling at Milner to close up...too slow

 

Milner struggling again.

 

Dreary match so far. Where is Sturridge ?

 

He's on the bench

 

Newcastle could take control of this game if they wanted. We aren't pressing at all.

 

Benteke makes Mario look like Suarez in terms of work rate.

 

No. Both require a more creative player near them to unlock their best.

 

That's ridiculous lol

 

Nope - just need to not start Benteke and bring in someone who can actually move around.

 

Ibe only player up for it so far.

 

Like, yeah, that was a handball by De Jong there, but Moreno's reaction was stupid. He actually turned away from the player and ball to appeal to the ref!
Jesus, when are players going to stop being morons and play til the whistle? Luckily De Jong made nothing from it.

 

They're similar players in style. The difference is Benteke occasionally scores goals and they're frequently spectacular when he does. Neither player gives much assistance elsewhere.

 

Playing like a different team. Stagnant midfield of Milner Allen and Lucas just kills it. Then benteke offers zero mobility

 

I feel a Newcastle goal coming.

 

And great. Now we've shown Newcastle an open door. Let's see if they can stumble through. Should be well ahead by now
