Match Thread : Liverpool v Newcastle

[miller0863]

Back four, front three and Hendo were ok, the rest… weren’t.

[justme]

an okish result. but a result non the less.

[Insidious]

We won't see it now, but those are the important ones.

Same amount of points as a comfortable 5-0 win at Old Trafford. We were nowhere near our cohesive best there, but 3 points is 3 points is 3 points.

Not the best but another 3 points.

Trent motm just for the strike, otherwise Jota for me.

Well we’ve played another game with one decent midfielder out of the three. Loads of meh midfielders in our squad, nowhere near enough quality for Jurgen’s lofty ambitions

Yep, get me Tchouaméni on the phone, we desperately DESPERATELY need another CM who can play No6, No8 or controller, he is powerful, athleitc, aggressive, better with the ball than most of what we have and very fucking good in the press and counter press, we've go far too many midfielders who don't fit our system, Jones, Oxlade, Thiago, Elliott (got time though and an OK option at attacking RCM) Fab doesn't fit it that well because we need a midfielder alongside him, he's far FAR better in a 2 than a 3 and our team is far better in a 433

We had better get Tchouaméni in very early in January, we urgently need another very good midfielder suited to our system

Thiago your motm ?

[Crimson Dynasty]

At least the Bitters are not completely useless taking points from Chelsea, and Agent Rafa keeps chugging along.

[Nineteenx]

Up the bum job done, bumming well and truly administered, as ever all the focus on the next game, getting the win and another absolutely vital 3 points

If we are to win either of the games top 2 prizes this season FSG need to get their fucking finger and checkbook out in January and very fucking early in January, we've missed Gini all season, we need more midfielders who can play our system, we have far too many midfielders who are not suited to playing our system as we play at our very best

Thiago, ox and mane need to be worried about their future at the club.

Thiago, with all his quality doesn’t seem to be able to keep his head in the game.

Ox, all huff and puff with nothing to show.

Mane very poor performances for a while.

Going to add Matip to the list too. Not to go but to be 3rd choice. He looks very clumsy on the ball when defending, but turns into maradona going up the pitch.

Boring game till Trent decided to pick out a peach of a goal.

Saint Maximin shat on our back four. He’d be a good signing for us. Just needs to work on his end product. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for us, he got injured and gave us a bit of a breather.

One of the positives was seeing Keita back. Looked lovely before the injury and when he came on
