Klopp’s insistence of going in short is infuriating.

 

Yes. I love the guy but this is wearing very thin. Just call them out for fucking once.

[Bobby Hundreds]

He calls them out in a subtle way. Second highest earning club in the world and its "we cant do what other clubs do"... not every club is state owned and many, many outspend us. 

[El Rojo]

Klopp clearly doesn’t want to distract from the football or suggest that we’re weak in certain areas of the pitch. It doesn’t mean he’s not saying different in the background.

 

I loved Rafa, but the constant friction with the owners undoubtedly affected the football at times.
 

Control what you can control.

[Anubis]

Has Curtis Jones picked up an ankle injury.

[Kevin D]

I am feel.

If konate is out, tell trent he's not wandering anywhere and play his normal 433 position, or put matip and gomez in in a traditional back 4 and drop trent or play him as a standard midfielder.

 

[Grinch]

Konate simply shouldn’t be a first choice centre back.

[Razoray]

The game up there in February was a strange one. We had improved a little since the Wolves 3-0, and they probably had the League Cup final on their minds but we opened them up quite easily, early on, and Pope was sent off in the 22nd minute when we wrre already 2-0 up. We were sloppy for the rest of the game, but it was their first loss at home all season. 

 

There will be a few changes to the teams tomorrow. Konate was injured that day, and Gomez played, so depending on his fitness tomorrow, we'll make 4/5 changes. Bajcetic, Fabinho, Henderson, and Nunez will probably be replaced by Mac Allister, Endo, Szoboszlai, and Diaz.

The expectations are that the Newcastle changes will be Guimares and Tonali in midfield, and Gordon or Barnes on the left instead of Anderson, Longstaff and St. Maximin.

 They are stronger on paper, but so are we. It's a big test for the new midfield. City dominated the ball against them last week but only scored one. I think we may need two on Sunday to get a win.

I think we will play the inverted RB fomation and Gomez will slot in if Konate misses out. Matip could struggle against the pace of Isak and Gordon. Hopefully Gomez has one of the days where he concentrates for the 90 minutes. 

[LFC 6 Times]

I still think Matip’s better than Konate. Believe his demise has been greatly exaggerated. Reign Trent in and play a conventional back 4 we’ll be fine. Newcastle are massively overrated. 3-1 to us.

[Anubis]

And we have a winner. Let's fuck these Saudi-bummed cunts, Reds.

Hope we absolutely wipe the floor with these. Let's show them what it's actually like to be a victim.

I hope Pilko gets AIDS, the fucking inbred barcode cunt!

[bossy]

If all our really good and great players play well, we can win. But that’s a big IF. Just beat them any old way Red Men.

[aws]

Wouldn’t be at all surprised if Konate plays and this is just Jurgen having an indirect moan about the red card. 

[manwiththestick]

When did these become a club to fear? Yes they're better than they were under Ashley but for me they are still Newcastle and we should hold no fears in going there and getting a result.

 

Fucking Newcastle.

[Anubis]

Their fans appear to think they’ve permanently replaced us in the top four.

[3 Stacks]

If I was a Newcastle fan, I'd be bullish too. Present and future. Why wouldn't I be?

They almost certainly have.

 

We just need to make sure Arsenal and Man Utd don't do likewise.

We do play a traditional back 4.

[Red Shift]

We beat these home and away last season - only team to do so, if my memory serves me well. Don’t bother correcting me if it doesn’t. No Konate unfortunately, which drops my confidence of 3 points. 
 

Trent simply has to play, since Gomez is the realistic cover for Konate. However I’d glue him to the RB position - no walkabout under any circumstances and let zobo rip up the middle of the park. The guy is a real find and he’s going to be huge. Start Endo, freeing up Alexis to get forward too.
 

I think we can still win, but we’ll no keep a clean sheet.

[gkmacca]

We're playing a team owned by murderers. Amazing how quickly that's apparently become so banal that it's no longer really acknowledged. Personally, I don't forget it for a single second. I hate the bastards. And I hate the fact they're getting away with this.

We're gonna twat these Geordie lepers 

0-4

I think we need to stick to the old more rigid 4-3-3 if Konate is out. Wouldn't want to see Matip being asked to cover loads of ground and be oulled all over the shop as TAA pushes into midfield. Isak will have a field day in that scenario.

Agreed.  We needed Trent in that weird midfield role last season because we didn't have three competent and fit midfielders; now we do.

[TheHowieLama]

Meeerrderreeerrrs.
