Post match: Liverpool v Newcastle (EPL 24/4/21 12.30pm)

8th works… i will take that gladly

Thiago was the best player on the pitch today, imo. I’m saying subbing him off was a mistake. When we had the three of Milner-Thiago-Gini Newcastle barely even touched the ball

That’s it I’m officially pissed off with this season, I have been shit, Klopp has been shit, our forwards have been worst than shit, there’s just no fun anymore when it’s sooo predictable. 10 shots a minute for 1/2 an hour, one lucky goal and then the opposition score 2 with one being dissallowed!!!

The 2 problems with scoring so early is the nerve shredding 87 minutes of inevitability of what ensues and yet another set of negative memories our team will be carrying around with them come August.

That was bullshit! Two scores in a few minutes,one disallowed, but the second in the net cleanly. Both our defenders out of place, no one in the middle to help out Allison! I’m just flabbergasted! Oh well, next game, next season, we’ll see what happens!

Still can’t believe Klopp didn’t do that.

Plus they scored in the two cramps added on time. Why did we kick the ball out for that second cramp? Ridiculous.

i agree…putting an unfit curtis was not the best decision to be fair

That’s why we need a clear out, bring in some fresh mentality. Some of this team is finished here, they are so far gone confidence wise I dont see them coming back.

What happened to the team that pressed on after one goal, and wanted 2,3,4 goals.

We seem to have lapsed into fear mode after taking the lead, sitting back and trying to protect it

After winning the Premier league?

Yup when Milner came on and Thiago was on they did nothing, not sure why Gini didn’t at least get some rest.

I can’t be arsed analysing it too much, when Mane attempts three touches on a tap in that’s all you need to know.

yep… team is due

What happened to the Klopp last 5 minutes CB substitute to plat 3 CB’s Rhys’s height would have helped

Yeah like what the fuck was this sub? Jones lost the ball which lead to their 2nd goal. Not blaming him but he was clearly not fit and rusty.

Concede late against Leeds, concede last second against Newcastle. Has Klopp ever heard of the term ‘game management’? He had a 3rd sub he could’ve used in the final minutes after the disallowed goal, just to stop the game and break up their momentum. Well fucking do it Jurgen, use every tactic just to run the clock down!! That’s FOUR points thrown away this week FFS! I’m so fucking angry.

yes, those don’t look good. But of course, sometimes stats mislead a little, as those were the ones who were pushing the play with final passes.

The eye test misplaced passes were more egregious from Jota, where the Barcodes could have capitalized from .

Plus we carved out more than enough chances to bury the game. Reminds me of the Suarez/Kenny first full season, when Suare hit the post/crossbar so many times it was amazing.

ahh well folks, onto the scum next week!!

We still need Mane for the counter to exploit them. A strong defensive midfield would have allow either Salah or Mane to get a counter in. Alas, our midfield trio are powder-puff in terms of physicality and mentality. Let’s look at the trio that ended that match just now.

We have a player whom the management do not think is worth the pay-rise, we have a 35 years old player physically struggling to hold the midfield together after Thiago went off and a 20 years old player who is not matured enough to do some game management.

Isn’t it any wonder we fucked up that match just now?
