Newcastle vs Liverpool Post Match

[Sarb]

Well played Lucas. A fully fit Lucas holding in midfield will shore things up I believe. Onwards and upwards next season

[Reece]

Only an 8 for Phil? Harsh.

Stellar performance from Cabaye though.

Incidentally 84 for Shelvey seems a bit high.

I love how they just didn't bother to give Downing a rating

[Shaggy]

I like how they just couldn't be arsed giving Downing a rating

[Neil Young]

I didn't notice that. Misprint/typo surely.

[Lecter]

Great result and performance

Particularly pleased to see a high pressing line more prevailent than it has been

This is a must for me and has to be improved upon so that we see it week in week out

Thought Coutinho was great and credit to Henderson again another 2 goals and an assist to add to his already reasonable tally

[Lecter]

Pardew is an unintelligent ****wit - it wouldn't surprise me at all if the players are doubting him.

I really dont like Pardew, really really arrogant and it always seems as though its his own genius hes praising

Hes nailed on to be a future England manager though as he has all the qualifications

****, clueless and thinks hes great

[Maxiedge]

If we managed to iron out some really poor results (ones that spring to mind: West Ham (H), West Brom (H), Villa (H)), we'd still be in contention for 4th place.

We've been so inconsistant this season that we've got to take it with a pinch of salt but at times when the football clicks you can see where Rodgers is trying to get us as a team.

I'm really looking forward to see who we buy in the summer knowing full well they'll be the best players we could get to fit the system, not necessarily the 'best' players

That's without taking into consideration our opening 5 games.

We have a really good chance at challenging for the top 4 next season imo

Johnson was our worst player on sunday - 8 of 10 is ridiculous imo... I would have given him 5 or 6...

[Muddled]

Not like you to focus on a negative, Nick. :shrug:
