Topic: MATCH PREVIEW - Newcastle v Liverpool - League, Sun 27 Aug @ 4:30pm

[Schmidt]

Good team. Jota might be a bit disappointed but he has a habit of taking a while to get going in games so you can see why Gakpo might start instead. Hopefully Endo adapts quickly, if he fits in well that improves 2-3 positions in the team as we're no longer playing people out of position.

[Caligula?]

Endo must have really impressed Klopp.

[Chakan]

Endo must have really impressed Klopp.

Or he's our only 6. But he's doing what he was brought in to do! Hope he has a fantastic game!

Go on Endo!!!

[naYoRHa2b]

Happy to see Gakpo in a more comfortable role. Hopefully Endo can provide the protection necessary. I do worry about Matip though.

[Caligula?]

Or he's our only 6. But he's doing what he was brought in to do! Hope he has a fantastic game!

Go on Endo!!!

He's our only 6 but if he wasn't ready then we still would have gone with the Gakpo experiment in midfield. Or Elliot.

[88_RED]

Endo them!

+100

[SerbianScouser]

Balance is there finally. Time to rock'n'roll.

[UntouchableLuis]

Good side and Nunez and Jota on the bench gives us good attacking options.

[Phineus]

I’d love to see us play this with 433, but I guess we’ll see how effective box midfield can be with a proper 6 in there.

Big test this, for system too.

[88_RED]

Endo must have really impressed Klopp.

Maybe we are desperate 

[rafathegaffa83]

Nunez should thrive on the bigger pitch at St. James Park if he comes on

Cant really expect miracles from our midfield when they dont know each other.  Just keep it tight, and pref no early goals against. Our goals against record in the first 20 mins must be un real over the past god knows how many months

[Clint Eastwood]

Go get them Endo.

[mullyred94]

?

scored there last season

[Wool]

Please don’t invert Trent this game.

[Syntexity]

One of the most difficult games of the season this. Physically a strong and bullying team, dirty and full of tricks. Refs seem to allow alot from them, unfortunately. They counter really well with their quick playersx which we seem to struggle with stopping these days as we are a bit open. We need to see our midfield and defence at their best, and we have to be clinical going forward. We have to be at our best today. Hopefully Endo can be the missing piece to protect the defence.

Come on Liverpool! YNWA!!!

[mullyred94]

Please don’t invert Trent this game.

He'll still do it even if he doesnt go into midfield.

Before the " inverted " role he was going more and more infield instead of overlapping.

[Lynndenberries]

Strongest lineup right now in my opinion. Big match for Endo and Matip.

[xbugawugax]

glad to see endo starting and gakpo up front finally where he can cause the most damage.

guess gomez role is now as an auxiliary rb and primarily cover for trent until hopefully bradley recovers. endo will probably be shielding for matip and trent and providing the legs as DM hopefully.

glad to see stefan on the bench.

and have a feeling that doak might do some damage if he plays.

[johnathank]

This is the lineup I was hoping for.

[Thepooloflife]

Please don’t invert Trent this game.

Yeah, Joel agrees.

[Eeyore]

Please don’t invert Trent this game.

This is a perfect game to invert Trent because Newcastle will press really high and with great intensity.

[DTRed]

This is the line-up many hoped for throughout the week. Gakpo for Jota so we actually have a forward to link up play and we'll also benefit from his ability to hold the ball up, which will be important as Newcastle are a strong and tall team.

Anyone saying we're desperate which is why Endo is starting regardless, there is no way he'd be playing if he hadn't showed his worth in training to justify the start. With 11 men I think we see the true Endo today - if he can win the ball and give it then it's something we've been missing.  I'm not sentimentally hoping for a 4-3 like the broadcasters always mention (it was years ago!)

Get through the first 20 minutes then I see a tight game - 2-1 to the Redmen!!

Come on!!!

Not sure I’d back Matip to be able to cover the space left behind..

[Barrow Shaun]

Collectively, cockneys have a very limited sense of humour.
They all thought “til death us do part” starring  Alf Garnett was a fly on the wall documentary about an East End Docker

Cheers. Raising my beer - made me laugh.

[wemmick]

Yes, Mac starting in the 8! I like our chances of winning a lot more now. We should have much higher quality possession with Gakpo, Dom, and Mac connecting the middle and final third.

[JRed]

Endo must have really impressed Klopp.

He’s the only option we have.
Let’s see what he’s made of.

[MULLENEDWINE]

Cmon lads let's twat these twats.

Honestly on paper we should have far too much for them. Only worry is that Isak prick, keep him quiet Virgil and we win easily.

Cmon the redmen, put out a statement now.

[ShrewKop]

Great to see Gakpo up top, and great to see Endo starting to free up Mac and Dom into more attacking minded positions.

Tough game, but confident we’ll get a good result here

[Keita Success]

Huge game this. Will show where we’re at now we have a more mobile 6.

Need a huge performance and a quick start.

Up the Redmen. 2-1 away win.

[Hazell]

Cmon lads let's twat these twats.

Echo this. Got a feeling we'll pump then 4-0.

It is.

City will probably stroll the League and there’s a lot of Teams fighting for other spots.

[Zlen]

1-1 imo
With a customary ref fuck up.

[Spanish Al]

Let’s twat these twats.

[deano2727]

Get the first goal and take it from there.

[Mighty_Red]

Better balanced side imo. Hope Endo has a good game. TAA will be to be more disciplined positionally.

We can win thos but a draw is not the end of the world.

COMON U REDMEN!!!

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Endo 4-1 to get booked.
