Liverpool v Newcastle United - match thread

[kop-al-74]

we will win this game.

They're spot on for me. What actual chances have we created for him? None whatsoever. Most of our crosses have either been low, or nowhere near him.

I'll acknowledge he needs to get in the 6 yard box more often, but we certainly arent playing to his strengths whatsoever. Outside of that, all he can do is try to link up the play and work hard - and he has done both.

for a period - he looked right up for it in the first 30 minutes but disappeared after that

Depressing half once again. Midfield doesn't exist. Only danger came from Agger's runs.

Carroll is so frustrating to watch. His first touch/pass is terrible. He's nowhere in the box.

He stands around the box waiting for the pass and then when he gets the ball he either mi****s the pass or loses the possession as he cannot shield the ball.

We need 2 subs. Gerrard for Adam and Kuyt/Maxi for Carroll.

this I agree with And the frightening thought about it is, If we are to miss Saurez for 8 games we need some one to step up with that bit of tempo , there was no pressure on the ball when their keeper or back 4 had it , we only start when we concede , I personally think Downing is threatening , Hendo, Spearing and Adam has done **** all so far , hence the words " So Far" here's to a much improved 2nd half

Sorry, should i assume you know better than Kenny then?

love this old chestnut, well done you're a parody of yourself.

Back to the game Mr H

He's been disappointment today.

He is so shaky on his feet especially in the box that even slightest nudge takes him out of balance.

Needs to surge in that ****in' 5 yard box and doesn't move until the play completely unfolds.

I hate see him so far out on the back post waiting to for "fluffy" crosses to come.

The way he plays today he won't score.

More like, the way we're creating no chances for him, he wont score.

Last time we came back from a 1-0 down to win 2-1 was new years day

[Mostar]

He should be warming up from the start of the 2nd half and come on by the hour mark

Aye. At least 30 minutes but I'd like to see him get little bit more as I'm afraid that without him we won't win this one.

So you do think your judgement should be taken over Kenny's then....

[Rabiosa]

What did they just say about Newcastle's dressing room?

[danperkins]

Ya have to love Bellamy positive and aggressive approach, takes the game by the balls!

[Rabiosa]

Fit girl in the Newcastle end

[Exiled_red]

That was nothing, you'd give a freekick at every corner if you give one for that

I would say it'll be a nice way to bookend the year but I'm not convinced we'll win.
