Newcastle vs Liverpool: Match Thread

[fowlen]

Thus far a really poor and laboured performance.
We look really tired and there is no fluidity to our game.
Perhaps a combination of tired legs and players returning from injury.
Maybe it's this 3 - 5 - 2 system we're playing - definitely not a fan of it

Hopefully we can lift the tempo in the second half!

Neither team were good but we were not awful.

Gerrard doesn't show enough passion or commitment for LFC like he does for England.

Go suck a big red one Arn. Hope your watching.

An undeserved lifeline that, we've been static and watching Newcastle run past us.

Moses looked good in the first 20 minutes but Sturridge and Suarez have been kept quiet apart from maybe 1 or 2 occasions but they are just so dangerous!

Lets see if we can push on now and put a couple past these because even with 10 men they have Cabaye, Remy and Ben Arfa who are all more than capable or hurting us on the counter.

Oh and I love the way Sakho just roles the ball into midfield.

We've played awful, and got gifted with a massive blunder by the opposition.

Right now Rodgers needs to ask himself if we need three CB's now. The answer is no. I'd bring Sterling on for Sakho because we are too disconnected from our front line and Moses is struggling in the middle. We have a golden opportunity to get three points from a tough away game, don't **** it up.

Our record in the 2nd half is awful this season so hopefully it changes today.

I don't think Moses is struggling but his desicion making has been terrible.

He scored but he's been as poor as anyone so I don't really get that comment.

we need johnson and cissoko to come inside 5-10 yards and take up some space to prevent them having it all. this should allow gerrard and henderson to come forward 10-15 yards and we can then dominate. this will link our CM with our front three.
at the moment it seems that sturridge and suarez are having to drop too deep to get the ball and the attacks are starting too deep. we then have to play through their beef and are struggling.

Newcastle created nothing, we had all teh better chances but missed with poor headers.

It was a **** match, they got a speculative goal, we got an unsurprising penalty against a dodgy defence and now we'll go on to win.

We've missed Lucas though, but luckily we won't pay for it.

Agree with the first bit but I think the system suits our players perfectly.

How much does Ginola love himself?

[SK]

we were solid, not that great going forwars but SAS dont need much to do their magic, we'll get a few goal second half, not doubt about it, they'll tire, tiote will get a red card and we'll win. happy days

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I don't think Moses is struggling but his desicion making has been terrible.

I think he suffered the same way Suarez and Sturridge did, trying to move the ball maybe too quickly when we finally do get the ball up to them. I though he looked lively in the first 15-20minutes and played a couple of really good balls to Sturridge.

ginola's hair is ****ed.

We're completely lacking in energy. Very jaded performance.
