Match Thread: Liverpool v Newcastle

[Nineteenx]

I hate to say it but I think he's going to leave.
Wins the title ( likely anyway), top scorer, probably gets player of the year and high probability of Balon Dor. Absolutely bows out at the top as the best player in the world.
Couldn't better it from his perspective.
Hope I'm wrong obviously.

Hopefully stays at the club that made him to break some more records & win a few more trophies

Money isn’t everything Mo, Saudi is shite & you have more than enough money

Get those contracts sorted

[teesred]

I am boring myself i mention this so much , but thinking about it i don’t understand the situation around Chiesa, a few weeks ago he was showing real promise and having good cameos , he can’t even get on in the last 10 mins anymore , even when Nunez is shite and the manager is questioning his work rate .

Since the cup game both him and Eliott have been frozen out it seems.

going to be interesting summer, that's for sure.

It was brilliant to see

SloppySlai check for the pass in to him, something I always moaned about Mo
Mane & Bobby consistently failing to do, all 3 in a line in the six yard box far too often

Diaz perfectly pick Sloppy out

More of that please & further evolve & develop it

[fiordearg]

Very professional. Collectively excellent

[justme]

I hope we keep Diaz.. I rate him a lot

[Nineteenx]

Really nice to see the variation in our play, no longer overpassing making it easy for sides

And to see some really good switches & medium to long diagonals & through balls from all our mids, it’s pretty much the midfield with the array of skills I wanted them all to have or further develop under Jurgen

There lads can all get a lot better at those things too

Hard work is the key as ever, never think you’ve arrived never think you’ve reached your very best always be striving to evolve improve & pushing all the other lads to do the same & develop or reinvent yourself as you get older & slow down a little

I can’t lie, I was a bit worried about this game coming so soon after city and all the plaudits. But thankfully there’s no complacency with this squad.

Very assured performance to finish off 3 games in 7 days with a deserved win. It wasn’t always pretty to watch, (the weather didn’t help) but we have our swagger back. Funniest thing was Mo being so desperate to score… in that last ten minutes when the defence were passing it around for what seemed ages, he kept starting runs but the ball never came.

I cannot wait for it to be mathematically certain.

You've waited a long time to see it mate, enjoy every minute.

A perfect description of how I was feeling prior to this game and going forward. And it’s a good point - the rain and extreme slick surface did play its part. Think we score 4 or 5 but for it.

Konate was getting on my nerves at times - felt like he was scared of making a mistake or the opposite - being flippant… but the conditions didn’t help. If he could add Virgil’s football intellect to his game it would be quite a thing. On another day we could have been punished.

Much needed rest coming up - but still have to take care of business
