As for a possession based side, Liverpool are not being very sublime with their buildup. And yet with simple means they create so many good chances.
Newcastle center backs are social distancing it looks.

Liverpool will win comfortably. No chance of a them dropping points. That's why they are champions elect already.

The movement of their front three and the two playmakers they have at full back make it look so easy.

Newcastles defensive effort at playing the offside trap was amateur at best in that first half they will eventually be caught out if they continue to defend in that manner.

Darlow with three saves, the best from Salah but was that effort going in without the save?

German Sky Sport pundits have a very relaxed uniform policy. Two guys in the studio, one wearing a hoodie and the other wearing a t-shirt and gilet. I'm so used to guys in expensive suits doing punditry :lol:.

Newcastle defense reminds a colander, actually. It’s good they haven’t conceded, but need more focus in defense

That's not as simple as it sounds though. If we could put Rashford into 1on1 like Liverpool do with Mane, he would also look much better.

BBC with the title "Reds can go 5 pts clear". How can it be 5 pts clear, when there is a game in hand

Just waiting for Castle to miss an header and the cameraman pans over to that big doofus Carrol on the bench like he was some kind of prolific striker who never missed one.

He would but Mane is stronger one v one than Rashford. But Rashford will get there. They cycle the ball to their strengths regardless of whether it is pretty football.

I wonder which far flung country Joelinton will end up playing in a couple of years time. Contenders include China, Turkey & Ukraine. Seen him a few times this season - he is absolutely rubbish!
