Newcastle Utd vs Liverpool - Premier League (20/21 - Game 16)

[McDermotX]

Fab carded. Poor choice from Robbo up the pitch.

Good yellow

I don't think we are trying to score the perfect goal, rather the forwards struggle against a well regimented defence that sits back and doesn't leave acres of space for the speed merchants to exploit. Even when they are playing well the forwards give the ball away a lot - they can't routinely beat players with pure skill one-on-one to draw other defenders and create space/chances for team mates so the ball ends up being shunted from side to side, often culminating with a hopeful ball hoisted into the box.

Our best strikers of the ball are playing at full back and centre back so are never going to get a chance to shoot. Our biggest threat at corners is injured and that leaves us a lot less dangerous

Fabinho booked

[Tribute]

Sloppy, yellow for Fabinho...

We look stale as well, certainly more stale than we've been used to. This team is capable of better than this and that is the frustrating part. Apart from a few very good results we've been generally off the boil since it became well obvious we were going to cruise to the title last year.

Anyway, it's a football internet forum, what do people expect when we're not playing well, incence and peppermints? It's either going to be you or Mrs Venton who's going to kop it and she's a lot more frightening than you shower.

What a start to the half. Pass pass back sideways and yellow card.

I thought you we’re going for ‘more positive’ this half?

[Kenneth]

That was a foul on Trent during their counter attack. On the back of a bull**** freekick for them in a dangerous position.

He definitely clipped his heel didn't he? What a load of bollocks. At least we got to see Joelinton completely missing his kick the dopey ****. Merry ****ing xmas.

Mane heads into the side netting

[McDermotX]

Header flashed wide by Mane

[Tribute]

Why do we insist on slowing down counter attacks by stopping, holding the ball up, then passing 30 yards backwards...

[Venton]

Ooh, that's a better delivery, just wide from Mane.

I never said that. Depends on the team. Football is supposed to be entertainment. Playing in empty stadiums is supposed to lift out spirits. Well this isn't doing that.
