Newcastle Utd vs Liverpool (KO: 5:30pm) (Live on ESPN)

M5

Pardew bizarrely blames the loss on inexperience, a team full of bloody international players. For the pool fans this is the kind of drivel we have been watching and listening to all year. There is even a hashtag #pardewexcusebingo

You know you're bad when Henderson scores twice against you.

Compared to before,Newcastle look absolutely terrible.Gonna be a nervous last 4 games for them.

Has anyone else noticed how much better Liverpool play when they break at speed, as opposed to Rodger's preferred brand of possession football.

Henderson's a good player who's been dragged down by his fee which wasn't all that outlandish thinking about it. If he was signed in a different window to Downing then he'd be rated higher imo. Still very young.

You know someone doesn't have a clue about football when he says this.

TBH i think we'll find out how good liverpool are next week. Having watched several abject performances recently i figured this would be a rout even without Suarez. I really wouldnt read too much into it from a Liverpool perspective. We could and possibly should have shipped 4 last week and Sunderland wiped the floor with us the week before. On actual form (not points gained) we have to be the worst team in the league right now.

QPR? Reading?

I honestly think we've been worse.

I can't remember a game we won where we dominated and deserved the win.

It's performances like that that make me think there's a lot of potential in there, they lack a leadership at times I think which is more of a mentality thing that can only be gained at times. Only Gerrard and Suarez who can take games by the scruff of the neck. If Coutinho plays like that consistently and Henderson builds on his performances this season the number of difference makers is slowly rising and can only be good for them.

TBH we have made players of far less caliber than him look like world beaters in the last few games

Wow,I'm amazed that MOTD or Sky haven't signed you up for your football knowledge.
It is Henderson we're on about here isn't it?

I forgot,he's suddenly gone from "one of the worst players we ever signed" to the "bestest young midfielder in the country".
Make up your minds please.

Never rated him at Sunderland and he's still pretty much at that level,never going to kick on from the standard he's at.

No sign of Pardew for the interview, wonder if he'll complain about unwarranted criticism this week?

He's definitely done better this year than last (wouldn't have been hard).
He does have some good attributes in an excellent attitude, very good stamina/work ethic and still very young and doesn't seem to suffer injuries

I don't think he'll ever be a 'top top' (to use the Sky phrase) player unless he can increase his range of passing and pull off passes that 'unlock defences'.
However he might well become quite an important squad player.

My point entirely,decent squad player but never going to be top drawer.If he is to kick on I reckon he'll have to do it at a club who'll consistently challenge at the top of the league.

Only bad thing about Liverpool today is Rodgers suit.

Only won 6-0 when its should have been 38-0.

SACK HIM!

Hah, fans behind don't look too happy.

I'd still prefer Wigan&Villa to stay up so a good result.

In fairness - Nasri has been mostly pathetic for Man City, although I suspect he will be sold in the Summer.

Newcastle's attitude was awful alright.
Tiote at one stage summed it up, he had the ball going towards the half way line, either Couthinho or Henderson came from behind and outmuscled Tiote (he shouldn't be eased off the ball by someone like Couthinho), Liverpool player turns gives a pass and Liverpool score again. When Tiote lost it he didn't even make an effort to retrieve the ball or help out his defence following his mistake.

The number of goals conceded could be a help for other teams also fighting relegation
