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

Question...with the Mane scramble of the line, where Schar made the clearance, did the keeper tie up Mane's leg, preventing the tap-in?

I'd say no. Mane tried to run through him and wasn't getting to it.

[Fierce]

It's a match thread. The match was ****. We were ****ing ****. This is exactly the place to post frustrations. Get over yourself.

And there he is. Right on cue

[Buzzo]

Incredible scenes. Expected from the usual dickheads on here who spout bollocks when we don't play like Ajax 95; but good lord

I think the fact that we are going to have to battle for the title means that this is going to be more mentally taxing and require more emotional investment Last season was about as comfortable as it gets. We had it won by Christmas.

This year is going to be like 2 years ago. It’s going to be a battle.

We were a few bounces of the ball away from a good away win.

We could be clear, but, there isn’t a team we’d swap positions with.

[Fredo]

Its tepid horrible football. Against **** teams with **** managers.

Oh dear. Were you born when Hodgson managed us?

[S-RED]

Mane should have gone down, VAR would have had to make a decision then. The mancs would all have fallen over in unison ........

I think the slo-mo makes it look worse, when in reality it only last a half-second. Not sure Mane might have got to the ball first, if he crumpled then it'd be looked at.

Some anal VAR ****er would probably penalise us if it was the other way though. That I do know.

Yet you come on and post what? Nothing about the game in a match thread. Well played sir.

[Rich]

Frustrating- made enough chances to win it.

Thought Phillips limitations where exposed tonight.

It's a ****ing internet forum about football and if you think the tone here is out of order then don't you even thinking of looking on twitter. Man up.

100% but again.. No luck

I honestly feel like I've watched a different game half the time

Their keeper had an absolute worldy. Yes, we weren't amazing, but we weren't anything close to being as bad as you'd think reading this thread

We're top of the league ffs

Yeah, but we know what they are; how long before Hendo & fab are at the back with gini & thiago ahead of them?

Definitely. Williams looks a far better player.

[Mr Pink]

Guys, we’re top, please, let’s not make as if we’re in a slump. It’s going to be a bit harder than last year but we’re still the team to beat.

Take this kinda stupid post to the PL season thread- this thread is for discussing the Newcastle game... there are no positives right now...

Also, we are in a slump- we’ve dropped points to a handful of **** teams in the last few weeks

[Fredo]

I disagree that we were **** today. I thought we played well, especially second half. Should have scored at least 3 and that would have been a comfortable win. We’ve not been clinical enough and their goalkeeper played a great game.

We need to realise it’s not going to be a walk in the park but we’re still the team to beat. We’ll do a number on Southampton Monday and Thiago is back
