And scored.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Shocker.
Any other season I would say the way the games going, liverpool will concede a late equaliser. But dont see it.
Maybe. I dont think they were when they came in however. Which is what United were all about at the time.
I made a mistake and got the wrong Longstaff. However I’m not making up the Pogba bit. Go look at his thread and it’s full of “sell him and get Maddison”. This summer it was Longstaff
Firmino today is an actual god. People were praising Mane, yeah superb today but Bobby is something else.
The way our recruitment has been of late, it wouldn't surprise me.
Seriously, though, I thought if we did get Longstaff, it be more to replace Matic rather than Pogba.
Having watched him this season, although only a few games, he doesn't seem like the player we need. We need a pace setter. Someone who knows when to quicken up and slow down the game. Pogba, whilst having a good passing range, is too impatient for that. Our other midfielders haven't got the ability to do so.
Having watched Carrick in Kompany's testimonial, I'd happily have him back.
Will Liverpool ever not win a game of football again. Getting bored of it now.
Having Firmino in your team should be illegal.
Firmino's passing has been sublime tbf.
Where does that say he's better than Pogba, though?
Its time Firmino gets more recognition. Ridiculous player.
Do it again please.
For fock's sake...come back, Hodgson.
That was what I thought as well. I would have Carrick and Scholes back.
Stop punishing yourselves ,hoping for dippers to slip up.
As I posted, I just knew something like that would happen. Its typical! His overall play has been really poor, though.And scored.
The only team capable of beating Liverpool is City. If we don't, they're going unbeaten.
A goal doesn't change my opinion. If he's not scoring, hes a limited player.
Never thought that would happen, but it hurts that they look so good.
Newcastle had plenty of chances to equalize but inevitably failed to capitalize.
It's been a story of Liverpool's season to date, they look prone to conceding at any given moment but just as likely to score at the other end. They'll come unstuck eventually.
It's happened once before...
Here's hoping the fixture pile up will shaft them this season. They've had it pretty straightforward up until now. Plus their style of play is pretty energy-sapping.
Fecking hell people its Newcastle, what were you lot expecting?
They could have won the game had they taken their chances.
Hopefully they are peaking at the wrong time. With their top players playing so many minutes for the last year maybe they will hit a wall when winter starts to creep up.
I said 'if Liverpool keep this up and win PL and get to CL final. They will be one of the best british teams ever'
Arsenal invincibles, Mourinhos 1st Chelsea side, SAFs 99 and 08 squad along with Peps current side are all better than the current Liverpool.
3 CL finals in a row
PL champions
Unbeaten In over 2 or more years
Points record over 2 season.
Those stats would be crazy.
Can we not give Shaqiri or lallana minutes rather than Henderson.. at some point they’re going to be needed and are going to be coming in cold.
Yes we can
Don't think anyone really did
Firmino and Benzema today
We know how it works with Liverpool games. Irrespective of how they play or the opponents play, they'll score a jammy goal from a keeper error and find a way to win. I don't understand why United fans on here watch every Liverpool game in the hope and expectation they'll drop points.
Firmino
Brighton fielding four specialist centre-halfs against Burnley.... Dunk, Webster, Burns and Duffy all starting.
It's still September, it's a long season and there will be twists and turns. Far too early to make out predictions of record-point totals and going unbeaten. I remember the pundits were salivating over Chelsea after winning the double and they started their defence with 6-0 wins. Yet the wheels quickly came off, and Ancelotti was turfed out.
The only thing we're certain is City and Liverpool will be up there, but when you play 2-3 games a week, injuries pile up and need to rotate, you will be tested.
They obviously want to be the last game on MOTD.
Pools attackers really get the job done.
When was the last time Liverpool dropped points in the league?
One clean sheet in five games, four of which were against Norwich, Southampton, Burnley and Newcastle. Hardly suggests they're invulnerable.
Someone tell these linesmen there's VAR. Raising the flag for every tight call. That was clearly onside
Won the last 14.
Agree with commentators. Newcastle can go away with their heads held high. They've done reasonably well. Not only today, but in most games this season.
Ban all Liverpool fans ffs
