Newcastle vs Liverpool 1-10-17 Match Thread

That's the myth we've been propagating for 20 years. Our teams ate always short of talent that's the problem. We are short in THE key are which is center mid, Rafa had the best center midfielders we've has since we last won the League plus our defenders can't defend. The transfer windows have failed us.

This is getting tiresome in always blaming the manager for the lack if tools that Liverpool provides. Our center mids ate no better than what Newcastle has and Lovren could never start for Newcastle.

Recruitment is a massive problem. I bored myself silly saying it all summer. It'll take a few years to turn this squad around, maybe more.

It all starts from the back really

Matip and lovren are not great passers of the ball. Henderson doesn’t look to run into space for the one-two once he’s passed it and winaldum is non existent.

There you have the spine of the team is poor. Compare Hyypia, After, Mascherano and Alonso to Matip, Lovren, Henderson and Winaldum and it's not even remotely close.

On current form .....LFC is a mid table team and will not get CL next season

I'm getting fed up watching us now to be honest. All a team needs is one chance against us and we conceed. It's so frustrating knowing we need at least 2 or 3 goals to win a game.

Yet again another utter failure of a transfer window and to spend £40m on the Ox feels like another panic buy from the club.

I'd rather have Johnny Evans and Ryan Shawcross at the back than the ****e we have at the club. Oh to have some average defenders.

Yes, but as fans we seem to talk around this problem for some reason.

But we don't have one.

I'd play Solanke as #1 striker (and i like Firmino). Sturridge would be sent to Palace on loan.

if we play Coutinho further forward we have to drop Mane or Salah and they can be effective. Plus we go back to last season when we couldn't break between the lines and just go sideways/backwards from midfield. No thanks to that.

We have a talent like coutinho and we will win **** all. What a waste.

I don't think we do. One of the mods blocked me from the summer thread for a bit. RichC probably who was positive all summer that Klopp had a great strategy and has barely posted since.

Lallana is the answer - just wait all you doubters.
