Newcastle 1:0 Liverpool. In game & post game discussion.

The pace of our passing/movement is way off.

Can't blame Luis leaving for the complete collapse in our style of play. Will say though Balotelli's lack of movement would wind me right up as a manager.

Losing patience with Johnson and moreno to a lesser extent offer nothing going forward

This sub might be to barcodes advantage.

We're playing defensive slow paced keep ball football with one up front away from home. The idea here is to keep it tight and not bomb forward. We've been leaking goals alarmingly and I think this is the Gaffer adapting

I think the tactics are spot on so far

Agreed, I'm liking the change of formation between defense and attacking, but that left side looks a bit leaky when Moreno is bombing forward and the opposition counter. I feel Can being in Allens position would be better suited to having to cover LB.

We should have give the team that started / ended against swansea a second chance.

We need to pass accurately

can't work out our game plan, is it contain and wait for a breakaway or what?

Yep

Johnson gets turned over by anyone and everyone who plays against him!

Why should there be any difference between playing at home or away? Sure in the Champs League where away goals actually count. Not in the league you should be playing to attack the whole match. Would Chelsea or City be coming here to contain and hit on the break? No they would be going for the throat.

And to think there were god knows how many people on here who were begging for him to be the starting right back a few weeks ago

Wouldn't say today it's his lack of movement. More our midfield not being able to play the ball with a purposeful pace.

Two mid table sides playing out a boring 0-0 at the moment. Not a shot on target yet.

His movement is abysmal.

Our creativity has gone from the best in the league to somewhere far from it, the amount of chipped balls out to the right to Sterling seems like a tactic we're trying to employ but can't see us getting any joy.

Keeping Sterling so wide just isn't giving us anything in the middle, think we need a change.

Never s free kick

See if mig can command his box now

Coutinho and Sterling subpar so far

IF BR cant see that this is noth working  .we are in trouble  its getting week after week now .hewants to ssort this and pretty quick so fvkin slow in attack its painful Mario on his own defies fckin logic .

That Aarons fella looks a lot like Origi.... 

Back to zonal marking them !
Profound change in tactics, and does away with the wrestling

Gave up watching. Truly boring stuff here. We go out with the same XI and same formation week after week, knowing too well it has little effect.

Johnson saved the moment
