I said that I wouldn’t judge the manager on this game and I stand by that. Get knocked out if the cup and then lose at Burnley... then it’s a different story.

Didn’t we beat Liverpool at home in 2005? So beating them would’ve been a clear omen that we are going down this season. Genius from Pellegrino.

Les Reed is to blame for not signing a defender. End.

We still have a decent goal difference, so let’s just park the bus and focus on a clean sheet for 45 minutes.

Yoshida should have played today.

It was tongue in cheek, I’m optimistic but not today sadly

We’ve been here before and ended up winning. If we can get an early goal in the second half, we’ll have a chance. I have a feeling though that we might capitulate.

Game over

We’d be winning if we had Lambert peeling away at the back post

Right we’re doing better now. Come on lads

Liverpool’s pressing is quite easy for them when a team like us passes it slowly

So much for my wish of us merely competing

Just shows how tight it is. One win and we're well up the league table. Not time to panic though. The games in March will decide our season.

Newcastle winning!

Correct team lineup, twice in a week now from MP. Is he OK? No Lovren and Lallana, what a shame. Looks like Klopp has decided neither has the bottle for it.

Howe doesn't like it outside of his comfort zone, he knows he'll never be sacked at Bournemouth. Not sure if he could deal with the extra pressure at another club.

Lovren clearance, rebounds off VVD's face straight into the back of the net.

King

Huddersfield only above us because they've played more games. That one I am 100% sure about, we will be above them after 38 matches. Bournemouth less sure about, depends on us beating them at home in April.

We won the last game! Is that not showing fight? Relax everyone.

Huddersfield will finish below us in the table, as will Bournemouth.

The clackers are back

Blew it? Really? I thought a draw was a fair result in that match really.

We didn’t really put up much of a fight up at Anfield, so the performance can’t really get any worse than that. I just hope we actually compete this time.

Disagree that it is more honest. Rugby players regularly cheat i.e. eye gouging and blood capsules. No worse than footballers who dive.
