Vs. Newcastle United (A): Match Thread

[DeanoUK]

Has balotelli got a touch apart from fouling Colback?

Aarons is a talent

Just then and I remember some good defensive work, not getting any service as usual. Borini should be up there with him.

newcastle play their version of sterling, aarons. fast lad.

Attacking threat is just non-existent. What's happened to us this season... we can handle losing Suarez if Sturridge is fit, but when he's out we look rudderless up front...

[Roboklopp]

Johnson too lazy to tackle so gives away a fk.

[Gazzla]

Just **** off Johnson

[danperkins]

Johnson is such a liability. Shocking defensive positioning.

Ameobi scary eyes.

I think fans are going to have to wait for our attacking flair to return. We are clearly struggling to integrate new players in to Rodgers' project and I think it's going to take time. As it stands, it looks like Rodgers is keen for us to get numbers behind the ball, not overly commit and be happy to win a game 1-0 instead of 5-3.

There has clearly been a lot of work on our defensive shape when we don't have possession.

[JohnDoe]

Glen Johnson can't defend. I have an idea, let's play him as a CB.

[Carras_Shin_Pads]

What's going on in the final third?

Johnson is such a liability. Shocking defensive positioning.

I just shout at the telly when he's in possession. Loses us possession and gives away cheap free kicks every single time he touches the ball..

[DeanoUK]

Yeah muddled, don't disagree.

[dizzycat]

Our best players simply do not have the ball enough

It's fair enough not to expect SAS genius, but we need to be offering better than championship standard.
