Newcastle at home - Rafa's return - 23/04/2016

[Jairzinho]

Load of shite. Midfield went missing in the second half and Mignolet needs fucking off yesterday.

[Arl arse]

2 points dropped. Shite.

[bonesman]

Sake.

[Ne Moe Imya]

Well, that is two points absolutely wadded up and thrown in the bin.

[3 Stacks]

Dreadful, dreadful result. Another game where Mignolet doesn't make a save and is at fault for a goal. You just can't progress as a team with such a liability.

[El Rojo]

Embarrassing and unedifying to see six of our players scuffling for chance to swap shirts with Colback.

[Special K]

Cunts

[magicrat]

Fuck off Mignolet I never want to see you again come the end of the season

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Disappointing second half performance. 

[Anubis]

Well that was a pisser. Klopp probably left those changes too late. We needed that double change at 2-1 when we were being overrun. It at least gave us the platform to shore up at the back and get back to attacking, but that was two points thrown away.

[smicer07]

Too many inexperienced players on the pitch in the end.

[an tha]

2 up at home to two of the bottom three and drop 4 points...no wonder we can't mount a proper challenge for the top 4 let alone the title.

 

Every time this shower start to look like they might have something about them they throw in a performance like this to remind us what they really are.

[Mathewbet1]

That was poo pig that was poo

[russ1979]

mingolet is shite and andrew marriner is a cunt

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Big Sam will be fewming. 

[Baltar]

Rubbish result, really poor to not win after leading by 2 goals. Disappointing. Especially since Newcastle weren't any good, just crap goals and another blunder from that useless 'keeper of ours.

[niallers]

That's 21points lost from winning positions! Frustrating

[lebron]

Wow, that was a pretty pathetic 2nd half. Starts up top, when Sturridge and Firmino can't be arsed to put more effort in than that, we're always going to struggle. Could argue that it starts from the back too of course, but we all know that Mignolet is piss poor, so not much you can do about that.

 

If Klopp doesn't make a new first team goalie his main priority, much of his good work will be undone.

[stringvest]

Mignolet and Firminio poor, and our subs were useless.  Fair play to Newcastle for going for it.  They were as good in the second half as they were poor in the first.  

 

Randall is not really worth a spot at the moment.  It was a poor second half performance by us all round.  Momentum lost before Thursday, which is really disappointing.  Still lots of work to do.  

[bonesman]

Did we miss Sakho d'you reckon ?

[Arl arse]

New spine needed.

[Ne Moe Imya]

People are talking about this like it was a Newcastle fightback, but it wasn't.  I'd be happy to give them and Rafa credit if they had really come and taken it to us that second half, but they were just as poor the second as they were the first.

 

Mignolet gifted them an opener, then the ref bottled a penalty call, then they got a lucky deflection.  Did they even have a half-dozen shots in the game?  They were terrible.

To be fair to Benitez, he's got them playing a lot better than they were earlier in the season.  That was a better performance than Everton could muster in the week.

[suzy]

Did we miss Sakho d'you reckon ?

 

That's what I was wondering

[Anubis]

The subs worked. Allen, good as he'd been in the first half, was completely outmuscled and overrun. The changes stopped them overrunning us, prevented any further chances for Newcastle, and allowed us to mount the attacks we hadn't been able to in the second half. We needed better balls in the final third.
