Why don't Nunez or Jota start more often? Gakpo is crap.
The bigger mystery is why they haven’t started Salah today. You’d have to imagine he’s off, I can’t even see him on the bench.

The last man rule doesn't apply like that. Last man means he's the last man between the player and the goal (without counting the keeper). By meaning the last man means there's no chance por another player to defend it, that's why the angle matter. It may be a player behind but if the angle is not right he will eventually catch him.

I don't know if I explained myself clear there haha
He was last man between player and goal? Nobody is getting around to cover, you might want to watch it again. He’s clean through with nobody around him

Tonali is so much faster than I thought he was. Would have been perfect for Utd.

Crazy that you seemingly understand the rule without understanding it at all. Who is covering that chance?

Tonali's covered a crazy amount of ground. Newcastle's midfield must be a nightmare to play against.

Cheap giveaway from him right before I posted this. :wenger:

Klopp’s face. He‘s doing the Compo meets Albert Steptoe impersonation, it’s so funny.

Tonali's given the ball away a couple of times the last few minutes. Wake up.

For a ground famed for its noise and intimidation, St James Park is very quiet today. I can hear the ball being passed about.

Last minute Liverpool equalizer would be nice. Need to knock the momentum out of these Ant & Deccers.
I'd be very happy if Newcastle replace Liverpool as a big 6 for years to come, so it's always a Liverpool loss no matter what

Apparently all Newcastle fans are hanging their heads in both shame and solidarity with Virgil van Dijk

I've seen a replay from another angle and it looks a clear chance there. From the first take it seemed it was much more wide.

I can see why it was given now, as I said I think is harsh but under the rules it's 100% a red card.

They are loud only when they need to protest refs decisions, same as Anfield.

Newcastle's recruitment team deserve so much credit. Gordon looks excellent. Never thought he looked like this level of talent at Everton

Maybe they just need a new chant to make some more noise.

Something like this might work.
