Newcastle vs Liverpool - Premier League (18/19 - Game 37)

[Saveloy]

I'm happy with it, the original kick off time on Sunday was just as I was about to be getting on a 12hr flight so I'm happy that I can watch it regardless of the time, I don't think I could have coped with not knowing the score until I landed.

Where do you fly to and fro Exiled? It's intriguing to know where you got banished to

And have you got your headphones sorted?

I only got exiled to Scotland, but am flying to California for work. I got the Sony WH-CH700N ones in the end, they arrived earlier today so have just been testing them.

Klopp on Keita

Jurgen Klopp has provided more details on Naby Keita's injury, after he was forced to come off during Liverpool's Champions League first leg loss to Barcelona on Wednesday.

"It was really unlucky. Bad news. High grade abductor injury. The tendon is ruptured. Will keep him out for at least 2 months. Bad news for us and for Guinea with the Africa Cup of Nations coming up. Not nice."


'Playing Newcastle is a tough one' - Klopp

Liverpool travel to St James' Park knowing they need to win to overhaul Manchester City at the top of the table, and keep the pressure on their title rivals, who play on Monday night.

And manager Jurgen Klopp is expecting a tricky tie in the North East.

He said: "They are in a very good moment. They have won quite a few games in recent weeks and are in a comfortable situation. They changed formation after they played us."


Barcelona hangover?

Jurgen Klopp has been asked if his players are suffering any after-effect from this bruising loss to Barcelona on Wednesday.

He said: "We never stay too long in the last game, we don't have time for it. We have to try to sort that on Tuesday, not now. The boys are completely on the Newcastle game."


'The boys are on fire! - Klopp

Jurgen Klopp is in VERY positive spirits for his press conference today.

He has lauded his Liverpool players and their form in recent weeks.

"The performances in recent weeks have been brilliant. Now we need to carry on like this," he said.

"The boys are completely on fire. When you're in the race, you don't get tired. We are ambitious like hell. All we can do is beat Newcastle and that's unbelievably difficult, what other teams do on Monday night isn't our problem."


Klopp on the return of The Ox and Wijnaldum's form

Jurgen Klopp says that is is "perfect" midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is back in full training following a long injury lay-off.

But he was coy when asked if the England player will feature for Liverpool on Saturday.

"We will see. For sure he will be in the squad and we will decide who starts." he said.

While Klopp also said that versatile player Georginio Wijnaldum needed time to adapt.

The German manager said: "He can play everywhere. When I told him he was surprised.

"He needed time to adapt to it but in the second half he was really good. We needed an offensive player there who is good at defending."

Shaq should be a starter in this one, his lack of game time is baffling.

Didn't he have some sort of injury a while back that was meant to be causing him problems? A muscle strain or tear?


Think he had to pull out of some international games this year too because of it

Can't wait to see how Rafa approaches this, but dropping points in this game is unthinkable.

Let’s hope they’re in summer holiday mode & don’t want to risk injury for time spent on the beach.

They're not according to Rafa

Did he wink when he said it?

Maybe Origi on the left if Bobby isn't ready

Would like to see an angry performance, not uncontrolled like them Spurs clowns, but a proper angry romp by 4 or 5 goals goals.
Could you imagine the atmosphere at Anfield against Barca if a result on Monday goes our way ?
