Post Match- Liverpool vs Newcastle

[El Jefecito]

they were the worst newcastle team i've ever seen. **** knows what their fans were on though.

pleased with the 3 points, still think riise and pennant are **** and b4 our lucky 1st goal we were hardly carving out one opportunity after another.

torres is clearly in a different league and i've not seen gerrard smile so much in ages

Yeah, Riise was back to his old ways. Hope Fabio is fit soon.

[El Jefecito]

Was watching the game again and liked the way Skrtel used his head to protetct himself as Owen pushed him into the hoardings. Well 'ard.

The old adage of only beating whats in front of you is never truer in games like this.

I thought it was going to be one of them games where we dont score in the first 20 minutes and rapidly run out of ideas against a 10 man defence.
The fluke saved us from that.
The second goal should be a contender for goal of the season - top class.
The third goal was exceptional too.

Good all round victory that was expected.
Riise and Pennant were shocking.
Skrtel is getting better by the week.

Nothing to add about Torres and Gerrard, they are top class players who take us to another level when on form, simple as that.

Thing is mid season we were playing teams worse then Newcastle, getting the lead and then playing the most woeful, dire football and letting the team back into the game. Newcastle was different. They didn't let up when they got the lead, nor when Torres and Gerrard were taken off. The team is showing a lot more steel than they were a month or so back.

[Harv]

Gerrard and Torres look awesome in this formation. They just click together, and teams cannot handle them.

Newcastle were complete ****e, but we did the job nicely.

Thought Xabi ran the show well, he is looking better and better

Lucas played some delightful little balls for our wide players, if they were both a tad quicker they would of been able to make the most of them. Lucas tired substantially at the end though, he looked knackered.

Skrtel is looking a great signing. Im very pleased to see that he never hoofs it unless he has too.

Riise is still crap IMO. Everytime the attack goes to him he stuffs it up. He had a nice shot though....probably cracked taylors rib with that one

Pennant and Yossi weren't bad, but we need better to become truely dominant.

That is all

[The Glove]

9 points off the top. 12 if Arsenal beat Wigan. Are we that far off finishing higher than 4th? I dont think so. 3rd is definately on. Maybe even higher.

[RedProf]

It's great to be on a good run of form and wins. We've had some rocky patches this season but it's all coming together now. With affairs getting sorted off the pitch and Rafa riding out the storm from thos who want rid, I can't wait for next season and the assault on the Prem. I truly believe we have a manager who can deliver everything to us........Europe and domestically. Too many people are quick to write off a manager who is still cutting his teeth in the Prem, still learning. I bet Rafa learns so much about his team and his methods/tactics this year and I bet he comes back better and wiser for it. I still can't believe some people won't accept this and want him gone. To those who do, do you still think he's lost the dressing room? Doesn't look like it to me.

I guess the decision to play the best players game in game out has provided stability and continuity, we really have a fantastic group of talented young players who will only get better and better overtime. Once we get top draw replacements for riise and pennant and another creative forward/attacking mid w're going to be hard to beat.

Lets take it a game at a time

[pezzzer]

Lets take it a game at a time

3rd is a realistic target i think, chelsea could be about to have a bad spell, gooners may **** it up with the kids not taking the presure that well.

we seem to of had our bad spell now and hopefully we will finish strongly.

id take 3rd and knocking mancs out in the semi's oh and winning the cl would be good too

[Joe King]

Ideal scenario would be the Scum won nothing, we win the CL and the gooners win the title.

That would be the best season ever besides if we were to win the title obviously

The goal was lucky, but we shouldve had a pen about 3 mins before.

I'd go along with that

I notice Arsenal are now on 66 and Utd on 64 with a game in hand. I so do hope Arsenal can just hold them off.

i reckon we have to beat manure at old trafford and the arse can go do the same if they are to win the title. manure have a lot easier run in than arsenal.

For once I have a positive feeling about us agains Utd at Old Trafford. Really think we can go there and win.

We're confident, they have keeper issues... for once I'm looking forward to playing them
