Newcastle United vs LFC, Sunday 6th December, k-o 1600h

[RP]

Anyone going to this?

[Cobs]

Mig

 

Clyne Skrtel Lovren Moreno

 

Milner Lucas Hendo

 

Lallana Sturridge Coutinho (or Firmino if he's not fit)

 

Subs

Bogdan, Benteke and some others

[Stevie H]

think he might rest lallana this one and start ibe on the right. big pitch at newcastle, ibe's pace could be fun.

[Cunny]

I wouldn't be surprised if it is a completely different front 3.

Benteke, Firmino and Coutinho (if fit)

[Sion]

There's a worry of complacency here.

They're dead s*** and we've been dead good, but we've only won 1 in 5 of our last visits there.

Would be typical Newcastle to concede 8 goals in 2 games and then raise their game for us.

[David Hodgson]

Anyone going to this?

Me.

i think we could be helped by the fact that it's probably going to be half a new team. both physically obviously, and mentally. there's a big competition for places thing going on here too. and they've got serious problems defensively, manager hanging by a thread, if at all. i'm usually fairly cautious, but pretty hard to see anything but a liverpool win here.

[RP]

Me.

 

 

 

I'll be getting there about 12.30 Sunday, then staying over.

 

You know a preferred venue for pre (or even post) match drinking?

yep. if we score early we could run up a bundle here. they've got no backbone at all and mclaren looks like a deer in the headlights.

[McBain]

Attitude under previous managers might have been an issue, and still could be, in terms of over confidence or blase 'these are shyte, we just need to show up' thoughts. But I think we'll be fine

 

If Coutinho is fit I reckon we go the man city front three. But Ibe definitely deserves consideration

[Bigal]

Me.

 

and me

[Cisse]

I wouldn't be surprised if it is a completely different front 3.

Benteke, Firmino and Coutinho (if fit)

Very likely!!

[Barnesy_10]

I'd keep Coutinho on the bench and only bring him on if we can't break them down.

Only amongst fans I expect.

Or even better/worse, concede.

[smithdown]

 

 

Or even better/worse, concede.

Guardian stat on that is encouraging.

 

Since start of last season, 29 games went behind and lost 20 of them, since Klopp gone behind 5 and lost one.

[surf]

other teams score too soon

[Conrad]

Mig

 

Clyne Skrtel Lovren Moreno

 

Milner Lucas Hendo

 

Lallana Sturridge Coutinho (or Firmino if he's not fit)

 

I think he'll go with that side. Might start Firmino and have Sturridge off the bench

[The_Adder]

I'd keep Coutinho on the bench and only bring him on if we can't break them down.

 

But if he is fully fit you just start him right?

[JonnyBrad]

Barcodes forum seems to think they might lose by 10. No room for complacency though. If we score early they will fold but we need to get the job done.

[muleskinner]

Jurgen got McLaren sacked from Wolfsburg last time they played didn't he?

[Earl Hafler]

We were confident before that game they had a player sent off and we still couldn't win but we're a better team now. Would be a massive kick in the knackers if we lost.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

used to be that we'd town them there & it was the most fun game of the season.

 

Recently we can't buy a win hardly.

 

Let's revert to the days of the Owen hattrick

@TheAnfieldWrap

Klopp press pc :

 

- Coutinho unlikely for Sunday

- Sturridge fine

- wouldn't worry about being unchanged for Newcastle

- confident of win

[rednotdead]

Looks like no Coutinho according to Klopp in the presser
