What a strike Traore. Wow.

Why was the ref mean mugging the camera like that?!

Anyone else getting aroused watching Man City have to play like we do under Bruce?

 

Looks nothing like us.

Sitting deep and can't get out of their half.

It's close enough. Stop ruining my fantasy.

Yes, and they both play long passes well too, and so we should use that when the short options are risky.

Like I said we have to mix it up.

Under Bruce we will never be able to play it out from the back as a staple with any consistency.

He won't be able to drill into the players the necessary positioning and movement required.

Shocking stuff from Sterling man. So bad

Sterling taking a penalty with De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Mahrez on the pitch ... oh my goodness.

Yes both he and Carroll have been way too isolated.

We have a decent number of strikers where we really should be using a pair up top, as we do not play well enough to just have one of them up there alone.

Even Saint-Maximin coming back and playing as a second striker would be very interesting as well.

Gayle must have lost his mind. Yes, that chance in the other game was on a plate!

I wish we could see Muto up there with Joelinton. I've always liked Muto in his cameos. He's quick and really sharp. Hasn't got near enough chances and it's weird.

Actually probably his best game since joining, looked half decent in a few spells in the game, particularly first half.

 

Agree, but noteably that was because we were playing the ball on the deck for most of the game yesterday. Unfortunately we gave away two goals trying to play the ball out so I expect we'll go back to long ball on Saturday.

I think we can find a balance. Try to play it out, but not be quite so tied to it.

Even using some of the long balls we have used previously, wouldn't have looked quite as bad yesterday because there was someone alongside Joelinton this time that could work with him up there.

I really hope we try the same system with Hayden and Shelvey in there for the Longstaffs, but also then find a balance playing it out from the back,

This guy has talent man, and the way things are going we are not going to get to enjoy it at all. Just such a massive shame.

Everyone feels we were too attacking yesterday, but IMO we should stick with that setup and really drill it into the players so it is more disciplined defensively.

It brought the best out of the big man. Set up Gayle beautifully early on and just a few moments later setup younger Longstaff for the goal.

He was getting to touch the ball more often early on with options around him and he was getting into it, but unfortunately the idiocy at the back ruined it all.

We have to find a way to keep people around him going forward. Really good things will come of it. The guy has some really interesting ability at his size.

This club is just so so frustrating.

Liverpool’s fullbacks are absolutely fantastic footballers. TAA is a superb player.

 

I give Klopp so much credit for allowing them to be who they are and indulge their attacking talent.

 

Under Pardew TAA would be on the bench behind someone like Dummett, because he is a "proper defender".

 

Their fitness is superhuman tbh. Up and down the pitch for 90+ minutes and always a threat.

Can we not get some of our lot on this stuff.

Absolutely. I've always admired full backs in general for the work they have to do up and down the pitch. These two take it to another level all together. They're both outrageous.

Oh my goodness ... make them stop already. This is abusive.

The calmness with which he then clipped that into the top corner at the end man. Just delicious.

Liverpool are so so nasty. Fantastic football.

Salah is so selfish man

Actually feel really bad for him that he didn't get the move to Man Utd in the summer.

His career will go down the toilet under Bruce.

I really appreciate the difference Atsu has made.

Joelinton back to questioning his existence up front. My goodness this is bleak ...

Making Fred look like an actual footballer. Disgusting

He's actually been decent for them lately.

And I wasn't previously a fan at all.

Man we stink. This has now turned into a warm down session for them. Goodness sake.

Away to Man U is almost away a completely rubbish defeat for Newcastle, no matter what the state of that team is. Last season, they were 2-0 up in the first ten minutes against a team in open mutiny against Jose and still managed to lose. We should just move on and judge them against Everton.

True. Man, that game last year was so annoying.

I hope we try today's setup with the regular midfielders against Everton. I fear he'll just bin it now though.

Oh well. It was nice seeing Joelinton being allowed to resemble a footballer for a bit today anyway.

Dubravka man
