We shouldn't be complacent. Southampton did draw against Arsenal last week. You have to say, if we come out the traps like against Spurs. The game could be over by half time. Right now, you can't see us not getting a couple of goals. Can Southampton score a couple?

I actually think Targett starts again and Isak and Murphy come back in but it's anyone's guess. Quite frankly we could play kermit the frog in a Newcastle shirt and he'd likely play a blinder, so fuck knows if it matters.

It's almost as if Dan Ashworth brought his Brighton list with him. Na, fair fucks, he's a good fit for them.

I genuinely can't believe how good he is. Does Henry know that somewhere in Sweden there is a lab full of his DNA?

That's why I said it. We've got a goal and assist machine.

Just seen the Spurs score. man this is getting better.

It's his body movement which is killer. Faints back and forth. Players buy it every time.

We have to learn that he plays in phases. He's going to just come alive from time to time. When he does, he's unstoppable.

Like to see Haaland do that.

Willock and Almiron poor. Been exactly what we all said... a fight rather than a game of football. I'd suggest that their players will get tired quicker than ours. You saw that their press got less as the half went on. I actually think Gordon might be perfect for this game.

I suspect Eddie thinks we are going to have a lot of the ball and Targett is more useful in this regard.

Bunch of tarts yous lot. We will dick these. We are playing arguably our strongest line up... bar Isak.

Really have a soft spot for Targett. He's a much better footballer than his face would suggest.... you know what I mean?

No different to West Ham. It worked then.

Aye Wilson is terrible

Isak, Murphy and Gordon from the bench. Great stuff.

Miggy is an arguably upgrade on Murphy. Targett is an arguable upgrade on Burn. Wilson is a slight downgrade on Isak but he's in great form.

The two best strikers in the league are Scandinavian.

Yeah I did but also gave us draws against Brighton, Arsenal and Chelsea. Which in reality, I think we will get a win in one of those games.

Yep, the Arsenal game is hugely winnable. They are shot to pieces. Let's give them some PTSD.

Thank fuck we have players like Tripper, Bruno and Isak, who not only don't seem to play with pressure but also having a calming influence on those around them. Just give Bruno the ball FFS.

4 top 10 sides and 2 relegation fighting sides. Wonder what odds you would get on Liverpool winning all.

How it ends:

I keep forgetting this is tonight. Keep having to remind myself. It's weird because I'm normally absolutely all over it. Think it's the Thursday thing.
