Newcastle United v Liverpool (Match Thread)

[CCTV]

1-2 at half-time

Nervy as fuck at times tbh.
TAA playing very well

Not one of our more solid performances, look pretty vulnerable to the break.

The referee is a disgrace, that last challenge on Mo allowing Richie to rake down Mo’s achilles then run off with the ball is just terrible refereeing.

If Salah was Messi it would be a different issue.

Yet another person who is clearly seeing something that isn't there. How many times do I have to say it? Certain players/teams/leagues do not get treated differently to others. #Sarcasm.

2-1 HT....Think we'll need a 3rd maybe a 4th personally like.....

[RedNoodle]

Someone needs to show these idiotic commentators/pundits that under the rules of the game TAA was NOT lucky.

what does sturridge offer??
if shaq’s defensive capabilities are a liability then what is sturridge who can’t even press!

i hope he comes off for ox or shaq.

longer it stays 2-1 these toons could spoil our season tonight.

we just don’t look solid.

Thank fook it's not Gini at 9.

As for Shaqiri who knows what's going on there.
It's a mystery.

Salah's theatrics has led to referees not giving him much. The ways in which he goes down sometimes are barecelonaesque. Just go down naturally pal

Maybe he has to act because he gets nothing for nasty challenges? He was forced to go down against Cardiff. he was held onto like your aunty trying to kiss you when your was 3 years old. was like a minute. And the ref just stood their watching it. as for refs not paying attention to divers. Take that up with the referees that officiate Lionel Messi

Midfield looks a bit off it today, they're far sharper to our turnovers and breaking when they can.

If they were "Barcelonaesque" we would have probably had a few more free kicks, as well as possibly a penalty and Newcastle being down to ten men. The difference is that everyone is not treated equally.

Dunno what game you’re watching BK, Sturridge played well in that first half, created a couple of clear chances for team mates, superb back heel to Trent for the second goal and one superb 50 yard pass down the left flank to start an attack. Only a goal of his own missing from that 45.
