I’d like to see the freekicks shared a bit more. Would love to see Tonali bang one in.

Hope you choke on those prediction points ?

Salah is a class act. Some great passes and fantastic movement throughout. Anybody would have difficulty keeping him in check.

Errrr, hope you had a nice bank holiday in the end! I was actually in Chester-le-Street and Durham City. The old place still looking good.

He seemed quite isolated at times yesterday. Couple of times he received the ball and there was nobody in black and white within 20 yards. Not a problem in itself, but risky when teams have targeted him for quick closing down. I like the fluidity Tonali’s roaming play brings, but I think they’re still learning to balance each other.

1 down. 9 to go. His performance was a real positive today.

I like this approach! My first positive thought about the match. Every team, even the great ones (not saying we are), lose games they should have won. We didn’t quite click, but still did enough to win; especially with the odds stacked in our favour. Well done to Liverpool who dug in, stuck together, and have top quality throughout the squad. Two great finishes make the difference not unlike last season’s defeat to them here. Maybe it’ll be a different story at Anfield, it’ll be on us to make it so.

Did you miss what he spent the summer doing? His stamina wasn’t why he was subbed.

He wasn’t gassed. He’s out run TAA. Deserved to be the winning scouser today.

I’m guessing 14 minutes. (until the ban).

I’m guessing Fazakerley… (no, not Derek.)

I think it was an error to do the ‘standard’ attacking substitutions. Gordon had TAA’s number, and Isak just needed more of the ball. Football is not a controlled experiment but Howe notices everything and will no doubt wonder whether he contributed to taking the wind out of our sails.

Happy birthday, man. Results are temporary, progression is continual. This time next year, we’ll be … ?

Two great finishes. Should have ‘Andy Carrolled’ him when I saw him in IKEA.

I don’t normally question substitutions but I wonder if simply swapping Miggy for Wilson (moving Isak out) would have been more beneficial. Both Gordon and Isak deserved to stay on.

Time yet… .

Ebb and flow. They’re in for a tortuous last twenty.

Well you’re a ray of sunshine. Thanks for that.

Massive conspiracy… mmm TAA could/should have walked.

Was about to say: I reckon Tonali needs to drop a bit closer to Bruno… but all words are now pointless ?‍♂️ bit like Liverpool I’m this game

We’ve been, on average, in Top Four form (points per game wise) since January 2022. Do you think we have a stronger or weaker squad since any particular point in that 20 month period?

Downstairs toilet ?

Now that’s more like it! Genuinely want all our incomers to see the best of the North East and feel at home.

We’re picking up that Manure cast off too?

Here’s hoping you have changed your mind by the end of the session.
