How are they supposed to complete with their limited resources?
:sulk:

[dazthegooner]

How are they supposed to complete with their limited resources?
:sulk:

Maybe they can go to a footballing equivalent of a 'food bank' :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Alisson to stop Almiron!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle 0-1 Liverpool, Nunez!

That was brilliant from him. VAR looking though.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Newcastle 0-1 Liverpool, Nunez!

That was brilliant from him. VAR looking though.

Goal stands

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Goal given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool, Gakpo!

Wow. Newcastle thinking about the cup final too much?

[HCZ_Reborn]

2-0 Gakpo

[HCZ_Reborn]

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool, Gakpo!

Wow. Newcastle thinking about the cup final too much?

Or maybe it’s the fact that Newcastle have been gash for ages. Were lucky not to lose to Bournemouth last week

Couldn’t beat Leeds, Palace or West Ham either….lucky not to lose to us as well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yellow for Fabinho.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pope will be off!

[dazthegooner]

Red for Pope. Just seen it again wtf was he doing? :yikes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Or maybe it’s the fact that Newcastle have been gash for ages. Were lucky not to lose to Bournemouth last week

Well there is that. Liverpool had only won two games fewer than Newcastle in the league since they lost at Anfield!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dubravka on, missed who went off for him. Well apart from Pope, technically.

[dazthegooner]

Seems Dubravka cannot okay next week as he's cup tied.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Well there is that. Liverpool had only won two games fewer than Newcastle in the league since they lost at Anfield!

Newcastle are a decent side and are clearly going to win a title within next five years (which is regrettable because of the dirty Saudi money)

But I do like the way they play at times, and Eddie Howe has done a fantastic job and for me should be the next England head coach.

Liverpool are in a transition phase, was up in Liverpool just under a week ago and was chatting to a cabbie who was saying that the replacement of ageing players should have started earlier. But he can’t complain because he still thinks it’s the best Liverpool side he remembers seeing (in his early thirties so probably doesn’t remember the Barnes, Rush and Aldridge team)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Alisson off Saint-Maximin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Almiron booked.

[Marc Overmars]

Barcodes don’t win anywhere near enough to finish in the top 4. Which is annoying because Spurs will probably sneak in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Burn heads on to the bar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 HT.

Newcastle did alright since Pope went off but the damage in this game has been done.

[Letters]

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool, Gakpo!

Wow. Newcastle thinking about the cup final too much?

I blame you for pointing out their hitherto excellent defensive record

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Quadruple substitution from Liverpool!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I blame you for pointing out their hitherto excellent defensive record

:lol:

I thought when Pope got sent off there was a chance we could come out of this weekend having conceded fewer overall than Newcastle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant save from Alisson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool, FT!

[Mac76]

Can't believe we're back on top

Pep :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man United: De Gea, Dalot, Shaw, Lindelof, Martinez, Fred, Sabitzer, Fernandes, Garnacho, Rashford, Weghorst.
Subs: Heaton, Malacia, Varane, Sancho, Pellistri, Wan-Bissaka, Elanga, McTominay, Mainoo.

Leicester City: Ward, Castagne, Kristiansen, Faes, Souttar, Mendy, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Barnes, Tete, Iheanacho.
Subs: Iversen, Tielemans, Vardy, Amartey, Daka, Pereira, Ndidi, Praet, Soumare.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Gea saved from Barnes.

Iheanacho takes himself wide in shooting.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a save from De Gea to deny Iheanacho.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 1-0 Leicester, Rashford.

Oh Leicester. :lol:

Been all over them.

[Marc Overmars]

I don’t remember the last time Rashford didn’t score. What a ridiculous run of form.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dalot. :haha:

What a miss.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Feels like that should be a red for Sabitzer.

[Letters]

I don’t remember the last time Rashford didn’t score. What a ridiculous run of form.

I’ve never rated him that highly but his form recently has been insane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Garnacho off, Sancho on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez header on to the bar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rashford shoots straight at Ward!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Rashford.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VAR reviews it, Rashford gets it. It's 2-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 Sancho.

Rodgers. :lol:

[GP]

Leicester are so bad

[Xhaka Can’t]

How bad are they?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 3-0 Leicester, FT.

[Letters]

Leicester are so bad

Alright, Jinxy McJinxerson :angry:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds should have had a pelanty in the first half.

West Ham are becoming masters at going down low and having the outfield players save it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Emerson Royal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forster saves from Bowen!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Son.

[Letters]

West Ham :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 2-0 West Ham, FT. They're back up to fourth.

[Letters]

West Ham :rolleyes:

:gp:

Utd are getting uncomfortably close :sick:

[HCZ_Reborn]

:gp:

Utd are getting uncomfortably close :sick:

5 points having played a game more is not that close

Next game is against Brentford and they are never an easy team to play

[Letters]

5 points having played a game more is not that close

Next game is against Brentford and they are never an easy team to play

It changes quickly though, or can do. We’ve played them twice of course, so we don’t have that 6 pointer to come. But after we beat them we were miles ahead, after our wobble it feels like they’re breathing down our neck a bit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5 points having played a game more is not that close

It's actually Liverpool away next for them.

And further to your overall point though, we play three times in the league before they play that one.

[Niall_Quinn]

:gp:

Utd are getting uncomfortably close :sick:

They'll finish 10 points clear of us. Make a note.

[Letters]

They'll finish 10 points clear of us. Make a note.

Will do. :tiphat:

[Mac76]

:lol:

[Letters]

Noted :tiphat:

[Mac76]

Noted :tiphat:

normally i'd tell you to stop kicking someone when they're down, but in this case I'll make an exception... :good:
