ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[Steve0]

Didn't both those games come after the Europa league games?

Klopp has tended to pick strong teams in the EL and then plays the same teams on the sunday,it would be hard to maintain that intense pressing game twice in 72 hours.

The Palace game only had 4 outfield players who started the Rubin Kazan game.

Sure there's another valid excuse...tricky to rotate, can't cope with the money clubs etc. We know what they're like, don't we?

 

[helpimonfire]

Yep. They is crap

 

[Fearthainn]

I hope the Geordies finally wake up today

Someone place a horse inside Mignolet's goal and it will be a hammering.

Not looking good for the rest of the league, they are so dominant in the AUL that all fans of other teams have to bow to every one of our kopite overlords if we pass them on the street.

Only Flash Gordon can save us all now

Gordon's ALIVE ??

Newcastle are poor right now, the rs will score another hatful

Most injuries in the league too.

It'd be a poor result for a team going for the Europa places to fail to win there, never mind "title contenders" (LOL).

Former Liverpool midfielder Igor Biscan has been found guilty of attacking a taxi driver in his hometown of Zagreb, Croatia by butting him in the face.

They're going to run riot against Newcastle today I'm afraid.

When you have a look at that likely Liverpool starting line up without Coutinho (who is a cut above that dross) then you have to wonder how they're going to sustain any form that gets them these unlikely wins. They are the very embodiment of mediocrity. That defence especially is outrageously poor.

If that feller can mount a successful CL spot challenge with that lot (without adding significantly in January) then (biased decisions in their favour or not) he'll deserve the plaudits he gets.

FWIW, I see two or three very good performances since he went to Liverpool and a load of old tosh in the other games. I'm convinced that without some serious additions they'll have a lot of slumps, losing games hand over fist.

 

[TheOldLady]

If they win today aren't they only 4 points of the top

 

[mawders]

I think Newcastle might well end up getting a royal bum raping

Normally I'm all for that. Hope they go down. But theres got to be a scenario in which both teams lose somehow. And thats what Im hoping for..

 

[TheFinnFan]

Imagine...if Newcastle would win .....


...but I think cult is strong atm and will win 1-3

@OptaJoe: 6.9 - Liverpool have averaged 6.9km more & 84 sprints more per game under Jurgen Klopp than Brendan Rodgers in the PL this season. Duracell.

If Benteke and Sturridge can stay fit that pair of strikers might be enough to fire them to a European spot regardless of how poor their midfiend and defence are. That is a rather big if though.
