18 shots this halfā€¦ Most of any team in the PL this season

Mo has not recovered from the pen.

The attacking play and chances has been solid though. Nunez 3 missed on on ones the obvious problem plus of course the pen. Throw in a marginal offside, a post and a shit ref and this could end badly.

Trent was booked earlier this season for doing the exact same thing. Like a petulant child. We really should have the game sewn up but our finishing is so poor. Nunez and Mo have been utterly dreadful. The conditions are not great but itā€™s no excuse for be constantly offside and missing one on oneā€™s regularly.

Frustrating half, but weā€™re much better than them

The penalty was terrible. But Trent should have buried the rebound as well.

Nunez. Fuck me, heā€™s making it hard to defend him. Should have had two goals. You just canā€™t turn down chances like that.

Klopp needs to calm his lads down and tell them to ignore Taylor, who has lost control of this. He should have booked Joelinton for a professional foul, but bottled it when he played advantage. Diaz and Salah were both denied clear fouls.

Carragher now saying Diaz went down late. What the fuck are they on about?

The refereeing is exactly where the authorities want it to be.

Thatā€™s utter crap from Mike Dean, of course it was a foul and a yellow card.

I was wondering if Nunez knows how to chip?

Substitutions should be enough I reckon. If we donā€™t win this it will be a fucking shocker.

This is said in jest, but if selling Salah is the only way to get him off of penalties, then we need to answer the phone if the Saudis call for him again.

The Trent and Diaz yellow cards will now add to a game final tallyā€¦ Taylor wonā€™t want to push that number too farā€¦ loads more fouls coming second half not getting booked

Some of lazy passes and a bit too Hollywood, especially Szob and Trent - who need to get their heads sorted for the second halfā€¦

All said and done we should be able to get this done.

Terrible lack of composure infront of goal. Otherwise good performance.

Jota scores both of those Nunez chances.

Curtis Jones btw is my first midfielder on the team sheet at present. Levels above others currently in quality and form for me.

He is usually the best of the Manc ones, but I think he properly lost control of the last 15 there. Made a few bizarre decisions.

He has, so have Nunez and Szobo. Need Jota and MacA for this.

Lots of passes behind players. That track is heavy, and I have no doubt quite a few legs are as well.

Why stop at Jota? Most decent professional footballers can finish that one on one.

2.87xG for Liverpool vs 0.05xG for Newcastle. I canā€™t watch today as Iā€™m at work but we need to be more clinical. This game should already be over.
