PODCAST: Newcastle 0 Liverpool 2 - Match Reaction

[tlw content]

Back to back wins and the top four is suddenly a realistic target again. Great goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo gave the Reds a dream start and although they failed to add further goals, despite the home side playing for over an hour with ten men, the three points keeps the momentum going following the derby win last week.

 

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown and Julian Richards to reflect on a weird game in which we saw both sides of this current Liverpool. The lads also look ahead to the huge clash with Real Madrid this Tuesday.

Enjoyed that. Totally agree about Milner and Ali and Jamie Redknapp! I was fuming at him.

Top, top “Michael Dawson broadcast exclusively for bats” analysis there, lads.

I’m hoping there was an element of ‘controlled victory w/o over-exertion’ in our second half performance, but I could well be kidding myself.

 

Even in our prime Euro / Title contending seasons before Covid, we had a habit of conceding late goals after demolishing the opposition.

Two clean sheets are pretty bloody good results.

I think that’s definitely what we were going for. We just weren’t that great at it. But that’s understandable - we’re in the middle of a mad season for everyone where pretty much everything prior to the derby (bar City and the 9-0 outlier) went wrong. Last week was a start that we’re need to build on.

I think if we were in the middle of a confident run we’d have gone for the kill but we’re not so (perhaps subconsciously) we played everything slowly and carefully which just allowed them control. 

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Another enjoyable episode. 
 

Cletus/Pope shout - Spot on.

 

Dave talking about Howe being a thick ignorant get - great minds Dave. 
 

Jules continuing to throw in nostalgic analogies every appearance is top draw commitment.

Not one mention of Bajčetić's role in the second goal, tut tut.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

In my defence, I make Jules look like the biggest sporting optimist in the world. I have been fully on board for the last 5 years. I have had my confidence dented significantly this season, and who wouldn't? 

 

Also, every time I hear about Darwin and finesse, I just think of this: 
 

"I suggest feather touch. You have entered POWER DRIVE."

The whole move for that second goal was just the sex.

I have nothing to add.

Mo may not be scoring many, but by christ he plays for the team.
