We prob get hammered, newcastle to get that magical 40 points and be safe from relegation. Thats how charitable we have become.

 

Really want to see Suso play here, but I'm sure we'll see Shelvey instead. At the very least I would prefer Sterling (he's fit and has traveled with the squad).

Downing - Suso - Coutinho
Sturridge​

Either way I hope Hendo steps up today.

 

Yeah, Rodgers should give the youngsters some chances now.

 

Indeed, but I reckon Suso is better than Shelvey anyway.

 

They can't really be compared, two totally different types of players. But yes, Suso has more talent, definitely.

 

True, but as it stands they are both vying for the same position and Rodgers gives Shelvey more chances at the moment which is strange imo.

 

Wigan leading against Spurs, that means Newcastle only 3 points from relegation. They'll be right up for this game.

 

Team v Newcastle: Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Carragher, Agger, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Downing, Coutinho, Sturridge. Borini returns from injury to take his place on the bench.

that's very good news.

 

ESPN do very decent coverage of their upcoming match.

They show the city, the activity outside the stadium, interviews with fans and they have a much brighter, more relaxed and less corporate feel to their broadcast.

 

The only downside is that wanker Jon Champion.

 

"Tactically and technically today is an even game".

Pardew chats some incredible shit.

 

I feel sorry for the kids yelling "Go on The Toon". They're in for one miserable existence.

 

I think we're in for another 6 months of shit refereeing decisions as the FA get their revenge for Liverpool critcising their persecution of Suarez.

 

Anyone got a decent stream?

 

TheClub you got my PM?

 

Yeah boss stream thanks :thumbsup:

 

Good start, Newcastle seem to be playing without a leftback.

 

Danny!!!

 

AGGGGGERRRRR.

 

yessssss AGGER scores early after 2 minutes..

come on u liverpool :heart:

 

Very impressive start for Liverpool and an excellent goal by Agger.

Superb control of his body.

 

YESSSS

 

Newcastle's defence all over the place. Henderson getting the boos: ex -Sunderland.

 

a good start for the game. seems to be exciting one.

 

Haidara is LB

Pardew is a loon. Going all defensive with his starting line-up. As if his side would keep a clean sheet

 

We need to slow the tempo down.

 

Travelling Kop singing the Suarez song with gusto. roud:

 

Sturridge called offside when he wasn't. :fero:
