Newcastle vs Liverpool: Match Thread

I don't think there is ever a situation in which I'd be tempted to bring Alberto to the pitch, but that's me.

No doubt you've made up your mind on him after seeing him play for 15 minutes

[Muddled]

I'd put Johnson left, Moses right and get Alberto central for Cissokho.

it'll be interesting to see what we do second half, with Newcastle down to 10 we don't need 3 centre backs.

[Reece]

I almost suggested giving Allen a go and moving Gerrard further forward.

But with them being the two worst players in the team and what-not wasnt sure it was a good idea.

Yeah that could work also. Wasn't Allen just saying he wanted to play more advanced?

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I'd leave it and see how we do because we've only had about 3/4 minutes against the 10 men, lets see how it pans out for 10 minutes at least in the 2nd half.

[Fosterbloke]

And we're back underway!

While I understand the rationale of switching to a back four to get more bodies in midfield, I'm a bit leery at the same time of changing and losing our shape. Rather just reinforce.

[Fosterbloke]

Great challenge from Cissokho and gets the goal kick too

wejust need cissokho and johnson to play a more offensive role, keep the 3 at the back for cover.

[Fosterbloke]

Good shot from Johnson

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Ooh, well played, Johnson.

[Exiled_red]

Johnson goes close

[Gibbo]

What a tackle Skrtel

[Exiled_red]

Newcastle fans wanting a second yellow for that

[JohnDoe]

Skrtel with a world class tackle.
