Newcastle V Liverpool 1st April 2012 1.30 ko

Totally disagree mate, I want 10 wins from now until the end of the season!

I keep telling the kids i want dont get ! We will have to put in some good 90 minute performances to achieve that .

                       Pepe
Flanagan   Skrtel  Agger  Enrique                   
                     Spearo

Downing       Gerrard         Sterling
              Suarez        Carroll

I would go with this line up, for mainly 2 reasons.
1) we need to press them and attack and we will get rewards. With Stevie setting up the plays and Spearo covering he can go right with Sterling running behind the fullback, meaning Andy wont drift out wide (why the feck does he do that), and can go left for Suarez.
2)Having Downing/Carroll on different sides allows for knock downs as Andy should always be heading back post in my op.

I put Carroll in the team as its a "return" to his old club which means he might get a bit of a boot up the butt, but tbh, im tired of defending him,  he needs to score or pick up his game to start restoring faith, i'm getting very tired of him. Downing needs a good game too and needs to find some consistency.

Will be a high scoring game as history has shown just hope we win it. We need this for morale (players and supporters alike) before the trip to Wembley.

Can't see us winning this one unfortunately, so I'm going 2-0 Newcastle.

A sad state of our season when 18 people think Newcastle will beat us and only 29 think we'll win

Agreed, the lack of belief is pretty sad, but completely understandable given our recent form.

Although I don't honestly think Kenny will start Sterling, I really like the look of that lineup, if Agger is fit to start. Raheem should really start. We need his pace and trickery, his confidence is definitely higher than most others, and it'd be good for him and good for us. If he doesn't start, hopefully he'll come on by the 60th and hopefully Suso will be on the bench to come on as well.

True, but it's imperative we win now tomorrow as the blues overtake us in the table 

Came home from the pub thinking we played tonight. 24 hours premature. F**k sake.

Had this problem a few times. Sick of coming early.

Have you had consultations over it?

Ooooh matron!

generic 4-3 comment



It's hard to predict a win here

Carroll & Suarez up front for me. The rest of the team is fairly easy to pick. I would play Coates, not Carra tho. He hinders the team so much lately, the thing is is that Kenny won't drop him.

Dear highly paid LFC players and management:

• You are closer to Wigan in 19th than you are to Arsenal in 3rd
• If you lose, you will be 11 points back of 6th place Newcastle
• If you lose, you will be in 8th, a point behind THEM, and just one point ahead of 9th place Sunderland

Could you please discuss these items before the Newcastle match.  Much appreciated.

Signed,
Your Loving Yet Embarrassed And Frustrated Supporters

P.S. Andy, just this once, for your own sake, play like a 35M striker. Thank you.

Good post above^^

CMON redmen

Don't wanna jynx it but we do play better against sides above us than when we play against sides below us 

let's make the toon feel foolish!

Will be at work today, hope for a much improved performance and a decent result.

Best of luck to Kenny and the boys today. Lets get back to winning ways lads. April can be a good month for us

Y.N.W.A

I expect us to win today i don't give a sh*t what the papers say Newcastle are still a
very average side.
They are above us in the league & we don't have a problem playing sides above us.
Its the dross at the bottom of the table we strangely can't beat..
I also think a rest for Pepe may do the trick he's lost some concentration lately.

                              Doni
        Flanagan Skrtel Coates Enrique
       Bellemy Shelvey Gerrard Maxi
                     Suarez Carroll

Suso Sterling on the bench please Kenny.
               

This should be a good test today, but can we win it with each teams respective forms? I hate to be a pessimist but I don't think it's gonna happen

If they are an average side, then what are we? xD

Above average but performing below average.

NUFC Krul; Simpson, Williamson, Perch, Gutierrez (c); Guthrie, Tiote, Cabaye; Ben Arfa, Cisse, Ba

Knocking of work one hour early tonight  . Would have only got home for the last 30 minutes but now I get home just in time for KO. 

Come on you Reds, time to slap some Barcodes.

A very nervy 2-1 win for us. Kuyt and Suarez with the goals.
