Big Geordie

Really good shift tonight, Sandro. More please!

He was unlucky, IMO - given he was running at full tilt and with the keeper closing him down too.

Some finish by Schar for the equalizer, mind. Brilliant.

Brilliant game against probably the best side in Europe at the moment. We battled and competed well - Isak looks back to his best - Gordon's goal will have done wonders for his confidence and Tonali was excellent in the middle. Thought the scousers had the run of the ball mind, but that's what you get when you are top of the league. Happy enough here.

Is Carragher due to do the match tonight? Will be a scouse love-in if so - we'll be just making up the numbers.

Think they will have too much for us tonight - 2-1 to them.

Blyth got a 2-2 draw at FCUM last night, although they had been 2-0 ahead shortly after half time. The club look doomed to another relegation - but I guess, there is still a club at least. Previous cunt of an owner has much to answer for.

Shearer got banned after being manhandled by Fabio Cannavaro - he should have known better, as should Bellamy. Italians and their dark arts.

Liverpool overpowered Man Citeh today - was only gonna be one winner from the off. It's annoying that Sky consider almost the title to be a forgone conclusion, mind! Lot of football still to be played.

Bang out of form and needs a spell on the bench, IMO.

As I said in the match thread, it was a Bruce-like performance and wouldn't have been tolerated had he still been in charge.

Howe - 'it hurts - game wasn't free flowing. Happy with our defending. Isak took a knock to the hip and had to come off. Feels like a defeat, but it's a point on the road and it could be important by the end of the season'.

I think we are coming towards the end game of the Howe era. Scoring goals has become a real problem - many of our bigger players are way out of form. He's under real pressure.

These 'performances' are becoming the norm and if they continue, Eddie will be getting his P45 next summer. Mid-table isn't good enough - and I feel bad for saying that.

You know if this performance was under Bruce, there would be hell on. Palace probs deserve their leveller. We've been garbage.

1-1

5mins injury time

A lot of out 'big' players off the boil in recent weeks........

Matteta misses a good chance Wilson on for Gordon Longstaff on for Willock

Burn off the line!

Ghehi OG

Gordon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Begs the question - why fetch Barnes on and not Osula or Wilson? Perplexing.

I've turned off my river. Radio Newcastle and FM24 it is.
