Should have been a straight red really.

Bizarre that it wasn't, although keeping in tone with the rest of his decisions tonight. At least he's consistent.

Awful ball from Johnson

BorneTobyWilde

Yellow
No a deliberate act.
He thought about tackle, ball was there, his brain sent the signal to his legs ,and it was to late to abort.

I think Coutinho has been MOTM by a large margin.

Do Newcastle fans regret Pardew going when he did? Don't think they'd be this bad if he were still there.

Sissoko. What a coward.

Not a chance.

On a side issue the pitch looks a lot better tonight.

Pardew wasn't the problem, its the other muppet up top.

Think that tackle and subsequent walking off before the referee had even reached into his pocket sums up Newcastle since around January. Everyone to a man appears to have given up.

Doubt it pal. There's been talk of a clear out in the summer... How you can clear out a squad that has very little strength in depth is beyond me.

Tbh, I wouldn't be too upset if he did go. Goes missing all the time when we need him. I still think the right manager could sort his head out and get him close to his best but right now, I wouldn't want him anywhere near the team.

Nope and probably yes.

They wouldn't have been as bad but in fairness, they haven't even tried to replace him yet. Carver just there to tide things over until the summer as they had done enough to avoid relegation before Pardew even left.

Certainly worth waiting until Newcastle make a proper appointment to see how things go with that IMO.

HIs goal was great, the touch the movement the clever finish.
It had quality written all over it, like a piece of paper with the word ''quality '' written on it multiply times.

Absolutely, I think reckon they'd be in a better place with Pardew still there until the end of the season rather than Carver.

Three points badly needed

Slattsy

Looking forward to Krul waiting for Allen in the tunnel to admire his strike.

super_furry

Well three points against a poor team. Going to half to be a hell of a lot better at Wembley, Benteke would eat that defence alive.

That_Guy

It actually amazes me that there are worse teams in the league than Newcastle. Those teams below us are actually trying. We've just packed it in since January yet again.

That tackle from Sissoko was a disgrace. Worse than any bite imo. Could have snapped lucas' leg there.

Newcastle are terrible. 3 points in the bag though which is nice.

It was poorly timed and reckless but he actually tried to pull out of the challenge. Still fulling deserving of a yellow card though.

The Mig is now joint top with forster on 13 clean sheets for the Golden Gloves.

Well done to the pool, fully deserved the 3 points and probably a bigger scoreline. As per usual we will hear the moaning of Carver and the penalty incident that could have changed the game, bla bla bla trying to cover up his ineptitude. 5 game losing streak to continue at home to spurs. Time to stick the flip-flops back on.

Seriously, is there any other club in the top flight with a quieter crowd?

I can hear every word from the players.

There were some stages in the big Manchester derby yesterday were you could hear the players as well, but Sky seem to turn down the crowd microphones for fear of foul language.

Looks like smallest away support tonight and they were fantastic

No tackle is worse than a bite. Tackling is part of football, biting isn't. I don't know why you brought it up.

It's funny you said this after Suarez came out the other day and say his bites were Cheillini and Ivanovic's fault .....because he was provoked!

They plan to fix it next season , something to do with the weather has been abit mad this year and hasn't helped with the pitch at all.

To the people complaining about the atmosphere, is this your first time watching a Monday night game at Anfield? It is ALWAYS like this for these non-weekend games. Less ''regular'' fans, much more out of towners who dont get involved in the songs, the same tourists who would rather watch the match through their phones.

Its nothing new, believe me.

I think it's the opposite really. Weekend games have more out of towners as it's easier to travel for weekend games rather than having to take time off.

Not defending Suarez one bit here just used it as a comparison.

I play football and if a lad came in with a tackle like that, deliberately going in to to injure you, I would seriously see red mist.

Tackling is part of the game, doing what Sissoko did (imo) and going in to injure Lucas is not.

A few teeth marks vs a potentially snapped leg/ankle. Which would you prefer yourself?

Again, I dont want to debate biting as its mental but tackling like that gets my blood boiling. Absolute lowest of the low from any player (again assuming Sissoko went in to catch Lucas on purpose).

Sorry your night was ruined. Truly.

Gutted it wasn't 4-3. In fairness to Lovern he truly tried it get them back in it with the wild swing and waywardness of his head.

Ha, I can always appreciate a bad pun.

I was gutted when Toni Silva never lived up to the early hype he showed beside Sterling at youth level - was hoping for years of "Sterling Silva" jokes.

I didnt cop that maybe just lemon so.

Id love to see Sissoko in red instead, hes a great player.

Close enough...

I wonder how far down the ladder you would have to go to match Newcastle's level of attitude.

I'd say at the very least all the sides chasing playoffs would beat them on attitude and determination.

It would be a close game between Karl Oyston's Blackpool and Newcastle for lack of attitude.

It was a deplorable tackle but only he'll know if he did it on purpose. It's a difficult one to prove but it wouldn't surprise me if it was done out of frustration a la Gerrard on Herrera.

Straight red IMO.

Cowards challenge from Sissoko. Deplorable. Another one of our "leaders" shows his true colours. If Arsenal buy him, Wenger should be committed.
