Fair play to Liverpool that and very deserved - against 10 men Newcastle have been labouring wank.
Taz is gonna be unbearable
DarWIN.
Fuck it. We won't get a trophy for not-first.
A victory for the common man against the middle Eastern oppressors
Darwin Fucking Núńez.
Two outstanding finishes there. He has to start the next game.
MBS on the ropes.
Depends what qualifies as a big team these days. We got a point against City last season but shipped two quick goals in that game. Took four points off United and Chelsea. Six off Spurs (lol) and a point off Arsenal.
That's not bad but games like today (and last season's draws) show we need to close those games out. Or, y'know, turn draws against the likes of Palace into 3 points.
Nunez top scorer this season. Calling it now.
I like him. I went to the Benfica game at Anfield last year and I liked the look of him. I think his problem is he's an instinctive striker, give him time to think and his deficiencies really do show up. He'd be excellent at a mid-table club with space to run in behind. He can run all day, he's strong and he can finish when he doesn't have time to think about it. To me he's like a better version of Djibril Cisse no technical ability whatsoever but he can be a useful player I just don't know if it can be a top striker at a club who wants to push towards the top of the league.
Duńez
However, there is no better version of Djibril Cisse.
Boys just save your eulogies and read out yours posts on page 18 at my funeral please.
We fucking looked a different class from the first min to the last in their own shit backgarden. That red card
The midfield upgrade is so ridiculous it's actually made me see not only the madness Klopp pulled by winning all that shit previously, not only VVD's levels in holding that shit together back then, but, and more importantly, Gomez/Matip/Quansah/Yahmum will be more than enough at CB, the spotlight was on them heavily due to the midfield's inability to keep possession but with those 2 fucks either side of Tsubasa, it's over lads and Pep knows it.
As a neutral watching that, it was Newcastle vs Newcastle out there. They had a great start but the hoodoo of not beating Liverpool in so long apparently took hold as they didn't really do luch after the red card. TAA was lucky not to get sent off, no complaint for the VVD one. I did think it seemed like Newcastle's final balls were a lot more wayward than usual, especially for a team that battered Villa a few weeks back.
Fair play to Liverpool for taking heart from the state of the game, I think Newcastle's triple sub was a mistake in terms of quality drop off and so it came to pass. I think any other 'Top 6' would have battered Liverpool out of the game by half time in those circumstances though, Klopp sent to the stands for crying etc etc.
Obviously a result to celebrate for Liverpool fans but I'd be worried half of their first choice defence got merked by Anthony Gordon if I was them.

Not sending off Alexander-Arnold was a two wrongs make a right situation, he shouldn't have been booked for being pushed over and then throwing the ball about 3 yards, but he should have been for blocking Gordon's run.
Van Dijk's was a weird one. I can understand why it is a red, but it seem such a nothing/soft decision. Another one of those ones that could easily not even be a foul elsewhere on the pitch [even if that would be wrong].
Liverpool have been pretty lucky to escape playing over 90 minutes of their last two games a man down after somewhat unfortunate decisions.
City would have taken them to the cleaners, but the rest of the 'top 6' [whoever they are] not so much.
I think it's all about circumstance. Isak's in on goal without that coming together. EDIT: Carragher's take on this is retarded. He doesn't know what a goalscoring opportunity is.

I saw 'Carra' saying it wasn't a goal-scoring opportunity because you can't say he would have been through on goal, which would seem to me to allow pretty much everything in that scenario from further than about eight yards out because what if he simply fell over on his next stride?
I remember during the World Cup in 2010, when Kim Jong Il ordered that the North Korea game with Portugal be edited so that they only lost 1-0, rather than the 7-0 hammering they actually had. I'm starting to wonder if Liverpool have somehow managed to have the stream for every Liverpool fan edited similarly, because you and 95% of your fan base are absolutely fucking mental otherwise.
They also claimed they won their group in 2014 (they hadn't even qualified):
The Spanish FA President's mother is on hunger strike in support of him.
They seen to forget the guy has a family and 3 daughters so this is a nice reminder.
Penalty.
No penalty. Providing crowd videos, something which VAR doesn't have, isn't helping your case.
Dammit. Next time.
It was a clear foul nonetheless and a red as a result of that. Not sure what your argument is there.
I think the confusion over the VVD red has come from it not being a horror tackle or elbow or something of that nature. It is an unlucky one that he just mistimes and kicks through the player a split second before the ball.
Further up the pitch it's a foul and probably not a yellow, but as it is, Isak is in the box having a shot, so any kind of foul is one stopping a goalscoring opportunity. Once VAR cleared up that he got player first, then the ref can only give a red card there.
I don't think anyone is confused. I just said it was weird as, at first glance there didn't look to be much to it and it looked like he got the ball. Subsequent analysis then validates what happened, but I don't think it is a stretch, or hyberbolic indulgence, to say it was slightly unfortunate and looked a little innocuous at first. Saying it wasn't a goalscoring opportunity is obviously playing a bit fast and loose with reality.
I've just seen the Carragher take on this and I think he is actually retarded. I'm not sure how else you explain stupidity on that level.
I've looked at it again and basically it's clear that although Isak is in possession in an advanced goalscoring no one gives a fuck you dirty little gammons because we're the best team in Europe and are going to win the title and that game demonstrated it and some of you called Nunez a flop and Klopp a has-been and your reflections agreeable and read page 18 and gahahahaha.
Meanwhile this Rubiales thing lurches into even more ridiculous territory with the threat of criminal prosecution now by the Spanish authorities.
The shark has well and truly been jumped on this one.
The Spanish FA escalating by threatening to pull out of UEFA is lol. Ritual suicides next.
If this leads to them giving the World Cup back.
We haven't had one for a while now, but I think it's time. Say the line Jimmy.
