Newcastle post game

[Rich]

Newcastle are a good side, full of good players and are a threat with Ben Arfa, Cisse, and Ba.

Us? Well we are pretty crap. Our defence has gone to **** with injuries. Midfield is a shambles, and we are toothless up front.

I wouldn't be disappointed to see ANY player leave in the summer - bar Lucas.

Still, had a lovely day with the family and football really isn't very important.

[Rocky Sullivan]

ye gerrard waved him off, looked odd.

Re: the pre match 'is Pardew a cunt debate'. He thinks the officials were right on all three decisions - Penalty, Offside, Red.

I guess that settles it then.

Good post Kris any idea how one travels to this parallel universe where we are top?

I wish I knew mate!

This will cheer you up - Game of Thrones starting again soon, and that means more gay blowjobs for you to listen to

[Craig_H]

OK, you're going on about what would have happened in the game IF the penalty had been scored and we had a man advantage.

Well lets look at another scenario. What IF we go behind next week. We'll still have hardly any invention, creativity, goalscoring threat. No substitution till 75 minutes when 2-0 down? Poor decisions and poor players cost us today.

IF the defending had been batter Newcaslt might not have taken the lead. IF Liverpool were better they could have equalised before the offside. IF the defending was better Newcastle might not have very nearly gone 2-0 up in the second minute of the second half.

All of these IF's did not happen. Crap officiating might have contributed to the deafeat but it doesnt excuse a crap performance from the team.

If they have no backbone to come back from being 1-0 down then they aint good enough and no amount of criticising refs will ever change that. EVER.

You're talking as though i'm going by 'ifs' on stuff out of nothing. There WAS a handball on the line. I'm not giving you 'ifs' based on pure speculation.

[Mostar]

People are going ape**** over why we've lost, and that's understandable bearing in mind our current form. I don't think Kenny should be immune from criticism, because this isn't a one off now mate. We've been dreadful for a long time.

The referee ****ed up. No doubt about it. But the top sides recover from something like that, bounce back from it and go on to win, so that mistake from the ref is consigned to the footnotes of the match review.

I agree with this completely

Kenny's post game comments


Kenny Daglish post match interview Newcastle 2-0 Liverpool - YouTube

An honest appraisal. Sounds very dejected - sad to see.

I was a bit shocked at Gerrard's reaction towards him as well. That was a bit odd to say the least

[Craig_H]

QPR 3 Liverpool 2 ..... and we were two up against 10 men with 13 mins to go...

Were we?

Who got sent off for QPR? Do remind me....

[Shanks]

Newcastle are a good side, full of good players and are a threat with Ben Arfa, Cisse, and Ba.

Us? Well we are pretty crap

Suarez, Bellamy, Maxi, Downing, Gerrard.
On their day, are a threat to any defence.

Great Managers know how to get the very best out of individuals.

[Craig_H]

Where they not better before and after his mistake?

We were feckin ****!!! Why not just face up to it Craig??

No they werent, we were the better side before their goal.

Hence why we'd created two or three chances and their goal was their first attempt on goal.

[ChesterDave]

But you are saying If it had happened we would have been much better off. We've been **** all season refs or not. We've been **** at penalties whether fairly awarded, unfairly awarded, or because we ****tily labour for 2 hours against a lower league opposition.

We can speculate ifs on real events, we can speculate hypothetical ifs. THere WAS a handball correct and we WERE **** regardless and managed to throw away a 2 goal lead agains a team in the relatation zone in 10 minutes. Why the hell you think a team already 8 points clear of us would fold up after going a goal down even with a man less. They would have still beat us because we are not good enough.

[Mostar]

Yup.

We need to go back to basics for me.

Play for the clean sheet, create a resolute foundation and see what we can nick from a moment of brilliance from Suarez or a set-piece; it's not gonna be pretty, but it would stop the losing streak.

My only concern with that, is the loss of Reina. I don't think the red is going to be rescinded and it's going to be a big test for Doni.

On that note If he gets at least 2 games suspension will this mean he'll be unavailable against Bitters in FA Cup game on April 14?

If that is the case it really will be some test for Doni..

[Havors]

No they werent, we were the better side before their goal.

Hence why we'd created two or three chances and their goal was their first attempt on goal.

Arent you getting tired of saying "we were the better side until..." ? I am.

[Mostar]

An honest appraisal. Sounds very dejected - sad to see.

I was a bit shocked at Gerrard's reaction towards him as well. That was a bit odd to say the least

I watched that 3 times and even though I can't distinguish what Stevie told him initially it seems to me that he was telling him towards the end to go off pitch (so he doesn't get booked) and not to worry.

Not sure that I see anything else.

[Lisburn Red]

Were we?

Who got sent off for QPR? Do remind me....

Ok I take the ten men issue back but what about being 2-0 up with 13 mins to go against a relegation threatened team in your parallel superfan universe ?
