Newcastle - Liverpool Match Thread

[Mostar]

We're a **** show with mid-table mediocrity, we look to be headed nowhere else.

we've been average since Christmas. we look really disorganised and have done pretty much all season. tactically naieve. opposition dont really have a lot to worry about from us & that shows in recent results. no one fears us anymore. its depressing.

+ 1

Why do posters who look at a performance objectively, get accused of being happy with mid-table mediocrity?

Because emotion takes over from logic. Understandable really, in the middle of a game.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

We'll have a man sent off today, that I am sure of after watching the first half.

[Craig_H]

Sack Kenny and bring in Rafa tonmorow.

This season has been a disgrace, they are all cunts, useless cunts. ****ing Andy Carroll £35m for that bag of ****e, ****hole Downing can't even get in the team, Kenny is clueless absolutely clueless, not to mention he's old and doesn't have a clue about modern football, "buy British" what a ****ing idiot.

Sorry, April fools ha! Sad to think some actually feel this way...

I knew it straight away

[marcus50bucks]

all well and good having a strategy - ****ing useless if the players cant or wont implement it

I've said for a few weeks now I worry about our central midfield you can drive a bus through the holes Spearing leaves behind him

I love the way you counter everything and shift the blame away from the manager. So, it's all the players fault is it and everything the manager is trying to implement is spot on? Give me a break Lecter and call it as you see it!

[Lecter]

We're a **** show craig and only a blind man would have any other view. unless you're happy with mid-table mediocrity, we look to be headed nowhere else.

we've been average since Christmas. we look really disorganised and have done pretty much all season. tactically naieve. opposition dont really have a lot to worry about from us & that shows in recent results. no one fears us anymore. its depressing.

I dont think we've been disorganised all season, neither have we been tactically navie all season (last few weeks maybe)

Agree with the last sentence the opposition dont fear us they know we cant and wont take any opportunities we might create or they might give and they know full well we will give at least a goal away every game through mistakes

[Rocky Sullivan]

is this craig guy on a permanent wind up or is he genuinely an idiot?

poor first half, had some decent chances, carroll should have tested the keeper instead of looking for a peno, **** house move that.
can see us scoring but unfortunately can also see them scoring as well.

What's disgraceful then? Poor, average, disorganised, naive (that's how it's spelt BTW) etc.

Where's the disgrace?

all of the above, when brought together - which is the story of our season. thats the disgrace.

thanks for correcting my typo too o wise one.

[Eric Swindler]

The buy british policy has been a disaster. Fact is the players we bought arent good enough.

[Muddled]

We look like we're stuck between a 4-4-2 and a 4-3-3, mainly when Suarez doesn't drift wide left and Shelvey gets sucked infield towards the ball - it's leaving Enrique isolated.

I think Johnson today, would have had a field day against Guiterrez at a make-shift left back; Bellamy just looks a yard off the pace and Gerrard isn't sure where to go or who to cover.

[Exiled_red]

If we lose today it will be the second time this season that we would have lost 3 league games in a row. Sorry but that is absolutely appalling.

And we've not won three league games in a row all season either

[Eric Swindler]

Its not tactics, formations, set-up or anything of the sort. It's a lack of quality.

[npinn001]

Back to the drawing board? Why? When a consistent finisher would make such a difference?

If we identify a good couple of signings, and one of them is a proper finisher, we're a million times better.

That handball not given was an absolute disgrace.

That's decided the game thus far, he needs to give the pen and send the guy off. 1-0 up vs 10 men makes it entirely different. Atkinson makes a game-defining error.

You seem to be getting alot of stick today, and honestly im not giving you any...

What i mean is, we need to go out and buy a finisher. Thats clear. But after spending alot of money on Carroll, i dont think we can add to the strikeforce, we would probably need to replace him. Our midfield looks pretty weak.

When i talk to my mates, I cant even tell them what our style of play is. We just seem to be like kids on a park, run around create a bit, end the game. We are no longer a force.

[danperkins]

Ben Afra & Cisse have had stormers. Cabaye and Tiote have bossed the midfield & Perch has had on of a best games he's ever played.

[RedReet]

Carroll to score 2 in second half.
