We can always pretend we had a miniscule chance of getting something from the game if Dean had stopped play when Hayden went down...but...yeah nah, we'd still lose comfortably 3-1 better than I feared before the match.

Holy shit

It's absolutely insane how these are able to have 4 players around whomever is carrying the ball for us at all times.

Taking a page out of the Norwegian cross country skiing team book I assume?

You should have stayed out longer.

Nice attempt at gifting Liverpool their 3rd goal there Lascelles. Stupid fucking push. Very lucky not to get a penalty against there.

Chelsea with 81% possession apparently. Everton playing 4 CB's with 20 year old Ellis Reco Simms (??????) alone up top.

It was worth trying him for the theoretical extra defensive cover he would bring to the midfield compared to having Willock in there.

Glad I'm watching through Norwegian broadcaster. I can feel my anger boiling just thinking about it. Wouldn't mind a cynical challenge that injures Salah just for the reaction.

Schar.

Don't think he was really thinking clear at all. You could see he was dizzy and was off balance. Was probably more and instinctive reaction more than anything.

It does make it easier...oh there it was

Would honestly prefer Clark at LB than Ritchie.

Ritchie

Liverpool players mannerism similar to on here. Seems to think being behind us is kind of comical and playing with fluidity & intensity like they know they'll bag at least 4 past us.

Fuck me if we weren't nervous to start with

lololololololololol

Christ, this will be awful to watch. Liverpool could have played a back 4 of U16's and still comfortably win. Them having Fabinho & VVD out doesn't matter a jot.

Newcastle XI (4-2-3-1): Dubravka - Manquillo, Schär, Lascelles, Lewis - Hayden, Shelvey - Fraser, Murphy, Saint-Maximin - Joelinton.

Exactly. How do you prepare against a team that won't even know themselves what they are going to do?

It would make a massive difference to the team to have similar type of cuntishness from someone in midfield and defence like Wilson has up top.

He was everything Saviola should have been.

Let's hope this one is better than the previous 31-year old we signed from them.
