Topic: PL: Liverpool 4 vs Newcastle 0 - Lovren 12', Mo 48', Shaq 79', Fabinho 85'

We have just gone six points clear and your first thought is to attack other posters. Maybe it's that attitude that got the thread shut. I thought Lovren was excellent and scored a worldie. With that I am off in to town after watching the reds go 6 points clear. Enjoy your bitching

Have a good one mate.

Don't say anything daft on your social media 

[Funky_Gibbons]

Did you mean fewer? (Klopp whispers, don't call me that, yet)

I can’t get my head round what I was trying to say 

We’ve conceded 7 and the next best defence has 15 so let’s say the team with the next best defence has conceded more than twice as many goals as us.

[Wabaloolah]

Oh and goodbye to City's goal difference advantage

Except that wasn’t my first thought.

Strange I never even mentioned your name, feeling guilty?

[So… Howard Philips]

December has been glorious

Seven straight wins in all competitions no doubt instigated by Pickford's gift.

Once again, many thanks Jordan.

[Red Bird]

What the fuck is going on with City? Wheels are well and truly coming off.

Liverpool striding into the distance.

[LFC-Dan]

This is on!! Should ironically be more worried about Spurs with the 11 goals in 2 games. Can’t wait for Arsenal. libpool top of the league. YNWA.

That will do for me, hehe hehe!

[Caligula?]

Can't handle the pressure. They bottle it when they actually have decent competition.

[didi shamone]

That defence is fucking ridiculous.

[Ste08]

Its been an incredible 1st half of the season, long may it continue.

[Big Bamber]

Great to hear some of the greatest hits from the Kop. I love to hear We Are Liverpool belting out, one of my favourites.

Yes, reminds me (in a good way) about 13/14. Hope we keep singing it.

[rscanderlech]

Get in red men!

Are spurs the team we need to concentrate on now!?

We concentrate on Arsenal. Because they're the next opponent.

[Syntexity]

Brillian result that! Another solid performance and three important points! What a volley by Lovren 

Happy Fabinho got his first as well!

[Mr_Shane]

Its been an incredible 1st half of the season, long may it continue.

Get that same record in the second half of the season and we are champions. Its now an undeniable truth!!!! 

[martinsquirtle]

 

What a Christmas!

[GucciMane]

Fucking Love it. Wanted Sadio to score one towards the end but save one for Arsenal brother

[Wabaloolah]

They're watching us win every week, and they can't take the heat.

spot on, they've also been without Fernandinho who is crucial to their game. The only downside is Fabian Delph is banned now for our game, the dopey twat

[Shite Name]

4 goals, 3 points clean sheet, next.

[Pie Eyed]

We're really good at this. Well played team. As ever, lots of immense individual performances. Most importantly a great team job.

That backheel in the box from Henderson must have had yorkykopite purring. Lovely technique, with eyes in the back of his head

Henderson passing backwards again?  Pah.

 

[Cormack Snr]

Keep it going Red Men..

[Wabaloolah]

Everton were absolutely shocking and by all accounts do were Bournemouth, if they do the same to Wolves then maybe we'll see then but still think City will be our challengers for the title and Spurs will finish third

[simesy]

Yes, reminds me (in a good way) about 13/14. Hope we keep singing it.

Except our defence is far superior now.

[redk84]

Just sublime.

Everything about this moment right now... strolling past Newcastle without breaking a sweat, City cracking up and us now clear 6 points of the rest of the league.

Not been in this situation since....well i started supporting around 1990 and i cant remember many times we've been this far ahead by boxing day!

But still gotta make this count so not long until the next test which is Arsenal. We just gotta keep going

[lgvkarlos]

Get in red men!

Are spurs the team we need to concentrate on now!?

Said that last week and was told to give my head a wobble. 😁

[StanBull]

I think its Arsenal we play next!!!

So solid Red crew.
Steady, organised, kept going. So much to like 👍

WE SCORED FROM A FUCKING CORNER

[disgraced cake]

Another excellent win reds. Worried a little bit that we only went in 1-0 against probably the worst side at Anfield this year, but a 2nd goal was always all we needed, nice to add a couple more to sort the goal difference out.

Really impressed with Henderson again who's having a lovely run of form as of late, Wijnaldum was good too.

All about Arsenal now, they have a few decent players but we're a better side and there defence is probably the worst out of all the decent sides. Just win that and go for the result at City.

COME ON YOU FUCKIN REDS!!!

[IanZG]

WE SCORED FROM A FUCKING CORNER

We're the team that scores the most from set pieces. I also found that a strange stat, because we don't score a lot of "typical" set piece goals, i.e. a cross and a header, but we score a LOT from broken plays from set pieces, Lovren's goal is also from a corner, as were Salah's and VVD's against Wolves.

[۩ Imperator ۩]

He's our centre half
He's our number six
Watch him defend
He's as hard as bricks
He can bang one in
Every now and then
He's Dejan Lovren
Big Degsy Lovren.

[Mr_Shane]

That second half was relentless. Newcastle parked the bus and then had to go deeper and deeper and deeper. After the 60 minute mark, it was never going to be just two, and it was only a matter of time and how many.

We score from broken set pieces because ALL the set pieces are fucking broken.

[۩ Imperator ۩]

Anyway, I refuse to be miserable, because a) we scored from one and b) we're pissing the league

Apologies if already posted:
Jürgen Klopp on the cheer inside Anfield when news filtered through about Leicester's 2-1 win over Man City: "I thought it was for us. I thought 'that's nice,' but then I was told afterwards it was for a different result. Obviously nobody told our crowd that Tottenham won 5-0."

Y'know that's interesting in itself. No idea about stats as I'm not that sort of nerd but I can't help wondering if a) We are fitter than most teams and/or b) we rotate better?


We do seem to outlast most teams we play do we not?

[Dim Glas]

You get the prize for the most peculiarly whiney post of the day 

How many times do you see goals from corners in general, in every game, with every team, not many is the answer - save you looking that up.  Liverpool score more from them than a lot of other teams though.

They'll be talking about you on Sunday Supplement!

Beautiful

Fuck the lottery winners, hope Spurs finish ahead of them.
