In all fairness Coutinho was hit in the throat...hardly over acted as the commentary was hinting at.

Correct me if im wrong but wasnt Pardew given a rather longtermc ontract last season?
I recall thinking to myself how crazy it seemed at the time.

A long term contract filled to the brim with clauses.

Ashley can't be that stupid.

Oh, wait. :rolleyes:

klose

Nice to see johnson has remembered how to play football again too

Nuri Sahin

Had to pass that out to the right.

Its a 1 year rolling contract that runs for 8 years

Sturrigde shouldn't have even got a shot on goal . Newcastle have 2 DM's on the pitch .

Mr.Crinklewood

There are more gaps in the Newcastle back line than in a mega-store solely consisting of Gap stores.

Liverpool should really kill them today.

M5

And Jonas is picked ahead of HBA....

cadete

jonas! jonas! are your eyes painted on what was that

mike65

Liverpools application is excellent but I with a lot of pressing they will get heavy legged so a third goal is needed.

Moneymaker

What on earth has happened to Tiote this season? He's just regressed more and more. Looks completely lost.

This Newcastle performance might be one of the most tactically disorganised I've seen in years in a top league.

Newcastle fans certanly not helping their own team!

Mr.Crinklewood

Game has gone kinda crap.

Its been like this for months lads, pathetic tactics, baffling subs and picking players out of position when alternatives exist

Nuri Sahin

I've watched Sissoko at a rough guess, a dozen times properly for Toulouse and a few times for France. I don't think I've ever seen him play wide right in any of those games bar maybe the odd run here and there.

Has he been playing there for most of his Newcastle career so far?

cadete

need ben arfa and gouffran at half time and go for it

livinginkorea

Gerrard should have taken his time...lots of space for the shot there.

mike65

Lovely run for the throw in by Coutinho then a flip back into space for Gerrard. Proper player!

It is the ref and he has got nothing wrong so far

Apparenty its all three of them. No probs with the ref, the the linesmen have been a bit off. Espeiclly the one of the near side.

Performances like this all season have been cheered to the last minute, the tide has turned in the last couple of games. 3 sellouts rewarded by abysmal performances while our best players warm the bench

CORNERS

livinginkorea

More corners!

Moneymaker

This is very reminiscent of 2009. No one in black and white seems to care and are just accepting their fate.

Crazy decision playing him there, he's completely wasted.

...and Liverpool are either scoring early on and kicking all kinds of **** out of teams, or not scoring early on and getting a 0-0 draw.

Newcastle seem to hoof it a lot into Cisse

Par for the course with pardew, right wingers at left back, right backs at DB when alternatives exist

Sissoko started off like a house on fire as did goufran and haidara, 3/4 training sessions later sissoko cant control the ball and has lost the ability to pass the ball

M5

Lol, figures

cadete

that just sums our year up how did he miss

Nuri Sahin

It's harder to miss that than score..

M5

Lol at Carras expression after the miss

mike65

/comes out from behind the sofa!

SlickRic

how'd he miss?

shíte at the back, Pool.

Like a fish out of water

IvySlayer

LOL at Carraghers reaction, did he want him to score or something? :P

Amirani

That was the best spell of play from Newcastle thus far. Really should do better though.

Enrique is as strong as an ox

M5

good defending from enrique

M5

how the hell is there such a big gap between our defenders and our midfield considering we are playing TWO defensive midfielders?

mike65

A nibble?

Sturridge is eating that space up. He's doing really well linking up play.

****s sake Johnson.

There is 15-20 yards between them, thats not down to liverpool im afraid

ThunbergsAreGo

Well done Danny

mike65

The cards are racking up here.

Yakult

We are letting the game slip and inviting newcastle on to us. One goal and they are back in the game. Liverpool need to stay awake!

IvySlayer

Tiote is crazyyyyy

M5

Johnson should be walking

SlickRic

Johnson you fool.
