Newcastle (A) - 06/12/15

[Anubis]

It's hardly revelatory is it, Lucas stinking the place and the team out? Milner hasn't had a decent game for weeks now, and Allen wasn't good either, but he was having to cover Lucas's arse as well as try and do something going forward. That midfield is nowhere near good enough to win a league, and Henderson's comeback isn't really going to change things - he's not really good enough either.

You go girl.

[Sydney Redman]

THe stats says it all. 10 attempts and 1 shot on goal !!!

[moof]

Lucas was absolutely piss poor, worst performance from him in quite some time.

[BCM]

Deserved win for Newcastle.  We looked like we played yesterday and today

[Anubis]

Lucas was absolutely piss poor, worst performance from him in quite some time.

Yes, it was.

[Mark M]

Newcastle wanted that more than we did. Firmino summed up our performance no urgency, and no quality.

[J-V]

Lovren our best player by a mile.  That's how shit the rest were.

[DirkDiggledinho]

We can only hope.  Maybe we can persuade some foolish English team with their coffers full of TV money to give us 20m or so.

 

But probably not until this summer at the very earliest.

 

It's baffling. Yes he is a better player than Andy Carroll but it was clear as day that we were making the same expensive mistake all over again. Bacca would have been a far better and much cheaper option.

 

Oh well. I think it has to be accepted that for the moment Klopp has to work with what he's got. Until he can bring in some really strong characters of his choosing the glaring weaknesses will remain.

[stringvest]

You go girl.

 

cheers nubby.  

[Red House]

Is it fair to say Newcastle defended well? I think it is.

 

We didn't put anywhere near enough pressure on their defense to find out.

[Dr. J]

When we beat a good team it's as much of a one-off as Newcastle beating us. The poison in the squad runs deep.

 

Our best hope was always the cups and the EL.

[Baltar]

We'll be better once Can, Hendo and Coutinho are back. Hopefully that'll be the next game. Benteke has to be benched, he was woeful.

[The Maca]

lets drop the forwards who scored 5 in our last match

knobhead tactics from klopp

worst midfield ever lucas and allen

[BCM]

and for those that thought we was going to  thrash everyone we played that should keep your feet on the ground.....shit happens bad day at the office onto the next game 

 

 

Well Said

 

Some fans getting far too carried away. Klopp is a world class manager, He's not a magician, He needs time to shape this squad before we find that consistency.

[andyj]

Perhaps they thought Klopp would stick with what worked well and not revert to what has proved to not work?

true but we cant win every game we will slip up along the way.......was it a game we should have won yes but it might just bring that huge expectation back to a real level  it has with me 

[old skool tom]

Klopp out!

How dare we not play scintillating and winning football twice in three days!

How dare the fans who stupidly believed we'd smash the barcodes be embarrassed like this!

 

Send the bastard back too Germany!!!!!!!!

[kemskem]

I think Klopp will have learned a thing or two about his players today. Not enough character, not enough balls and killer instinct displayed by some when they should have plenty of confidence. So not a total waste of time.

[Anubis]

On the plus side I'm just about to sit down to a Brough's Butchers game parcel, roasties and gravy. It'll certainly be more game than we were today.

[Russ Atmosphere]

This talk of titles can bollocks right off, look at those players.

[The Maca]

add milner to that and its championship level

[BCM]

 Allen wasn't good either, but he was having to cover Lucas's arse as well as try and do something going forward. 

 

 

Today though, every last one of them was shit to varying degrees.

I think he may have learned a bit about himself there too.

We just started poorly (spastic corner) and never once raised our game to deal with a shite Newcastle team as the grew in confidence.

 

That game today was all about hitting them fast and hard and he picked the players least equipped to do that. Whether Klopp thought being away from home it required a a more cautious approach I have no idea but playing two stoppers and leaving Benteke lumbering around on his own and isolated was wrong,  Origi should have been alongside and Lallana in instead of Firmino who did the square root of fuck all. That said Benteke missed a sitter, we had a goal disallowed and Skrtel gifted them a lead . We started that game with no players , other than the full backs and Ibe with any pace, Its not enough even against dog shit like Newcastle
