So has he been doing something he shouldn't have been doing?“Groin strain”
Premier League Festive Season (Gameweek 18-20)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Thanks to VAR offside and a penalty save Newcastle got to half time level and without conceding. Can they do that after 90 minutes like a patched up Man United team in poor form did recently in Anfield?
Liverpool fans calling corruption 
He has booked a player and had cheek to give a freekick against them.
Truly baffling how Gordon is not on the left here. He absolutely destroyed Hey Arnold in the reverse fixture.
Liverpool players are entitled
Simple plan but effective.
They play shite football kick and rush, chase down second balls, shoot all the time and hope it falls for Salah around the goal.
I said it in a match thread last week that Liverpool are not a tactically complex side. They basically hound oppo players to get the ball back, either play a through ball very quickly or switch side to immediately cross, else they just shoot from distance. As much as we like to talk about controlling games on the Caf, Klopp doesn’t seem to care about it
Any drop in fitness could be catastrophic for Liverpool I reckon
Why’s this guy calling him fecking Trent all the time. His surname is Arnold. Like he calls everyone else by his surname
It would be beyond heroic if they manage it, with so many injuries. No team in the world has had more injured players.
I'd definitely watch the Barcodetrix
Awful pen from Salah. Run up that hard and straight and keeper knows you can't open up your shot.
Annoying how Liverpool can waltz out at short notice and find a solid midfielder like Endo.
We spend all summer chasing shite like Amrabat.

Probably a bigger Xg differential than the fecking 7-0

You don't think there's a tiny chance that if we swapped the players around, Amrabat would look good for them and Endo shite for us?
Ah yes the most injuries in the history in the Premier League, did Howe consider starting tonight?
They've not had more than us? We've had 11 players out before. Their starting lineup is mostly intact at the moment.
I think it's just a purple patch. Plus he's very limited. Not exactly a Fabinho replacement.
Endo was a pannick buy after they spent all summer chasing Caicedo and Amrabat but missed out on them both.
That is exactly what would happen.
Yeah, I've watched them quite a few times, they really don't try to play intricate football, it's just fecking relentless, the pressure they put players under and forward balls that they will usually eventually get a break to fall their way.

Do they count both the penalty miss and the follow-up chance miss?
They can give over saying TAA’s cross was a shot , good grief, I know they all love him but seriously, he obviously tried to drill it across the goal mouth.
For such a pressing team they suffer very few muscular injuries.definately over past 7 years have had what seems an extremely low injury rate. Play same 11 fairly regularly. When you watch rest of football very few teams get that lucky. Always makes me very dubious re some form of doping. Would love to see distance figures for their players over past number of years
Gordon has to go to the left second half with TAA on a booking and lacks a brain whilst defending.
Gordon will be nowhere near England squad now. He’s been absolutely horrific for weeks.
I don’t think Endo has been that good to be honest. He has been a very reckless tackler and his passing is nothing to write home about.
The difference between him and Amrabat is that Endo doesn’t have to defend all by himself and actually has 9 players doing intense pressing around him
He looks knackered tonight but Gordon should be going to the Euros. Has elite balance, control and pace.
Not watching the match but this was surprising to see such high xG even if it's inflated by the pen
Trent is the best player to ever Grace the Premier league. Can do no wrong. That's why he is known by his first name by all of the commentators. Strangely his defensive deficiencies and laziness get ignored. Was def a cross though!
Darwin Nunez has been bad this game but I bet he gets the first goal
There were some rumors that Klopp has a lot of asthmatic players at Liverpool though
Salah scores.
Newcastle will lose by at least 4 in the end here.
Diaz is such a good player
Salah 1-0
Newcastle's collapse begins.
Seems pretty decent to me.
Dias is seriously good.
