Klopp looked like he was going to fight the Newcastle bench after that first goal before the mist cleared and he restrained himself.

 

 

Brilliant. I think we all know what Klopp would have done if he could get away with it. 
I’m still flying today.

Love seeing Diaz giving it biftas for both goals there, especially the 2nd. 
 

He could quite easily have seen his arse getting hooked after 25 mins yesterday.

Diaz looks better every game. That mazy run and shot in the first half was mwah! Almost forgotten about in all the madness.

He reminds me of Mac from Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

He reminds me of Mikey Palmice, he has "fuck-face-itus"

I still can’t quite believe yesterday.

 

If we’d still have Hendo, Milner, Fabinho, Firmino etc it would a superb result.

 

The fact we were without Konate & VVD,  Szoboszlai, Mac Allister & Endo making at best, their 3rd appearance and Quansah playing 10/15 mins in the most difficult of circumstances… this type of result (and to an extent Bournemouth) makes Mentality Monsters 2. 

If we'd have had Hendo, Milner and Fabinho in side yesterday we'd have lost 3-0

That’s not the point I was making.

It was just a bit of levity

[Pete]

I hope they crash and burn in the Champions League losing every game 3

or 4 nil. Then we knock them out of the UEFA cup or whatever it’s called.   
 

I used to have a soft spot for Newcastle under Sir Kenny, Bobby and Keegan but they can fuck off now.

It's been a long time since I was in the midst of something like that so know exactly what you mean. 

Sheer joy. Nothing much comes close to it.

He shouldn’t have been booked for either. 

Yeh I know but this has been debated endlessly now. The second one he puts his arm across the player to try and keep pace . Minimal contact but we see yellows all the time for that and 100 percent Trent would have been booked if the arsehole referee not been trying to even the score in his own mind. 

[aws]

I think the ref might have thought that Trent was impeding him on a breakaway and refs usually give yellows for tactical fouls. Oh, hang on…. 

[kemskem]

At least Shearer pointed out the incompetence of Brooks for not giving the initial foul on Trent.

 

Watched BeIN sports until the end of the half-time analysis and Keys goes: I think there are better keepers than Alisson in the Premier League. McAteer asked who and Keys said Ederson and then started to make a case for Pickford and Ramsdale. It must be the worst punditry gig going being sandwiched between the bitterest cunts in the business.

Some proper girly screaming in there. Sounded like Carragher was taking the pictures.

As if brushing a player's shoulder is ever a bookable offence.

 

Shitrat should have been booked for his dive.

 

There is a massive difference between what I , and probably you, think is ever a bookable offence but we see it week in week out players getting booked for even the slightest attempt to impede a player trying to get past . The main issue with this , and there are many , is that refs are totally inconsistent in applying the rules and the current crop of tossers, the VAR generation,  are worse than the last .

Doesn't it make you feel good when you know that this result would be eating Hairy Hands from the inside out?  And the fact that he knows Alisson is a better goalie than all those he quoted but just can't accept it?  I love it.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

That Núñez first goal reminded me of one that Suarez scored away at Norwich. Think it was in the same game as his goal from near the halfway line. 
 

For both these goals the finish was inch perfect and needed to be otherwise if it’s a fraction off either way the keeper saves it or it hits the post at a different angle snd probably bounces back out into play. 
 

It was an absolutely sublime finish. 

[El Rojo]

What’s the Uruguayan for, ‘Don’t give me two chances.’ 

[Dicko]

Imagine filming yourself at the match.

The fucking vanity of the modern fan.

[Anubis]

2m:40s in. What’s Steve Bruce (right) doing in with our fans, celebrating Darwin’s second?

I just regret not watching the full-time analysis.

[Anubis]

Nunez out of nowhere. I’m crying laughing.
 

 

[Anubis]

Just for you, Tony.

“Through the man” makes it sound like he steamed in two footed from behind. He slightly clipped his foot before getting the ball. 

Agree that whilst it was very harsh there’s no way that is getting over turned.

Yep, and I think Virg's reaction was one of a man that not only intended to play the ball, but knows he DID get the ball, albeit a fraction after clipping Isak. 

 

Stiff, but you can see why it's given.
