Post match: Liverpool v Newcastle (EPL 31/8/22 8pm)

I wish they’d have a roving mic like on Question Time to let us hear the repoters’ questions. As these videos go, you have to try and work out from what Jürgen says, what the question is. :nerd_face:

Hey Eddie Howe - what do you get when you allow your team to shithouse and waste time in a cunty attempt to scrounge a point at Anfield?

Fair play to those I’ve arrowed. But feck off yer little sod who I’ve crossed. If you go the game put yer feckin phone away. While that little dickhead was taking his photo to show his mates or put it on social media, I was ‘in the moment’.
FFS , I was at the St Ettiene game in 77. I don’t need an image that I took on a phone to remind me. Not just that game either. Just go the match and enjoy it FFS :rage::nerd_face:

The three points were magnificent. Needed them. The manner in which they came was brilliant as well. After putting up with barcode histrionics and gamesmanship all night, Bruno Mars stuck it to them at the death. Lovely!

Mo Salah hasn’t hit anything like top form yet, but he battled away. Great leap to keep it alive for Carvalho to lash it home.

Overall the team was disjointed. We don’t have enough legs in midfield and that is causing a lot of problems. The front three are too spread out as well.

There’s lots to work on, but that was a smashing three points, and in its own way, more satisfying than the nine goal win against Bournemouth.

We have a few starting to come back into the reckoning for training and playing. We still need a midfielder, but if we don’t get one tomorrow, so be it.

Harvey Elliott MOTM. Big future that lad. He took responsibility, saw a lot of the ball, passed well, dribbled well. Carvalho looks to have a big future too. Diaz was energetic and threatening all night too.

I’m not sure what the answer is to our midfield woes. Part of me wonders if we might try 4-2-3-1 given the attacking riches we have?

Anyway, slow start, but two wins on the spin and we are starting to move up. We need to build on it, starting with the derby. Can’t wait.

Newcastle fans engaged in some of the most incredible motivated reasoning ever seen.

“If they played all the stoppages the game would take 120 minutes.”

:joy:

Also, your goalkeeper burnt 2 1/2 minutes. Goal came at 2:08 on the added time.

They hated it because they got stung by their own tactics.

Yesterday Everton were the same but Mr England seemed to need to get home early blowing on 2 Min and 55 after Pickford had spent two goal kicks taking 45 seconds each.

I didn’t think Mr England did poorly last night and better than Mariner tonight however regarding time wasting he was well off the ball. Mariner was on it on that and thankfully.

It’s really stunning just how off referees can be (thankfully not tonight) in terms of the amount of time added on – if a team burns 2 1/2 minutes of the 5 and then FT is at 95:30, then the time wasters basically got away with 2 free minutes.

I get that they need to manage the game but the least they could do is try to be more precise. Given that these referees have “notebooks”, perhaps use them and write down extensive stoppages? Almost seems too logical.

Yup, every throw and corner and stuff I’d let that by but when it gets obvious I’d just say another 30 seconds on a goal kick or like Mariner obviously did tonight just stop the watch.

Most refs wear two watches. One runs continuously. The other is used to tally how much stoppage time needs to be added. The final whistle is blown when the continuously running clock reaches 45 + however much is on the stoppage clock.

Mariner had the balls to add on that much and showed time wasters up yours. Alot of referees would just conveniently blow their whistle on the dot or add a few seconds in patronizing.
