3-4 imo, last minute winner with Rondon closing in tbh

 

[big mean bunny]

Rafa to break his former lover's hearts and inflict their first loss.

 

[SALTIRE]

Think there will be changes, with Moreno, Sturridge and Shaqiri coming in, and going 4-2-3-1 to blow up Rafa's bus. 2 - 0 the Reds.

 

[Benji]

Will be disappointed with anything less than a resounding win.

3-4 imo, last minute winner with Rondon closing in tbh

G.B, mate, do you really think that Liverpool will score three goals? Not even the mostly optimistic Salty predicts this

 

[Bilo]

It wouldn't be like us to fuck up just yet. We'll save it for when even the raisinest of us believe we'll win the league.

Sniper in the crowd for that penalty on Salah imo.

 

[Bilo]

And the way Salah puts his arm in the Newcastle player's hand was just unsportsmanlike.

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Dress it up how you like, he dived.

I agree, but it's still a pen.

 

[SALTIRE]

Haven't seen the game as was out at family. Sounds a comfortable affair though, so can't wait to see it on MOTD later.

I thought the match was a strange one as we didn't play particularly well ,Henderson in the second half didn't put a foot wrong ,which was in complete contrast to his first half showing
Mane and in particular Firmino's first touch was woeful and Salah was only marginally better.
& yet we still ran out comfortable winners albeit from not hitting the required standards we've shown in recent outings . Another victory & another clean sheet & another good atmosphere & another slot from Shaqiri & 7 points ahead of City & a perfectly valid reason to bask in the warm glow of Cities misfortune.

 

[Benji]

I have this to say about that penalty decision: HA!

 

[Redpelt]

I have this to say about that penalty decision: HA!

& we're finally getting our fair share of pens this season , strangely I omitted that from my glut of ampersands

 

[G.B]

Liverpool have been awarded more penalties than any other side since football was invented in 1992.

Robbed btw. If Salah doesn't cheat yet again we go on to win that comfortably imvho.

 

[Benji]

Some people have drawn parallels between Niasse's dive against Crystal Palace that got him a 2 game ban and Salah's dive against Newcastle that has been celebrated and endorsed by Liverpool fans.

 

[G.B]

"It's a well known fact that lightly touching someones arm causes their legs to immediately stop working." - Beelo mate via PM.

Great penalty though. That's the Puskas Award wrapped up nice and early.

 

[Bilo]

Guys I love you both but it was four to nil

 

[Redpelt]

If Salah stays on his feet Newcastle would have 'definitely' been inspired to leave their own half but as it transpired Salah falls down thus rendering Newcastle's quite evident aspirations to find an equalizer totally without foundation and obviously this turn of events invariably leads to Newcastle being content with conceding two more goals and walking away from Anfield in abject humiliation with the scoreboard reading 4-0.

 

[Benji]

We should disregard the rules because Newcastle would have lost anyway?

 

[Redpelt]

I'm torn betwixt indubitably or yup ?

 

[G.B]

Shameful scenes tbqfph. I will be most happy when we beat you to top 4 come May.
