Match Thread: Liverpool v Newcastle

[bodacious benny]

Highly likely that there will be no ASM or Bruno G for this one, and of course Wilson already confirmed as out.

Trippier must be a doubt and if we are worried about his hamstring I'd keep him for Palace at the weekend.

Given the options we've got available I think we just accept a defeat and move on!

[Tsi]

Going for a optimistic draw 1-1

[Sanchino]

Line-up (with those mentioned being out) 3-4-3/5-3-2

Pope
Schar Botman Burn
Murphy Willock Joelinton Targett
Miggy Wood Fraser

Subs : Darlow, Dummet, Lascelles, Fernandez, Manquillo, Ritchie, Longstaff, Anderson, Munoz/Stephson*

*Is Isak cleared to play???

[Colly]

Ask a silly question, but is there any requirement for us or anyone else to reveal Isak's status publicly before the teamsheet comes out later? As in, it might have been approved already but Eddie's keeping it contained?

I presume a squad list (not team list) has to be submitted to the PL in advance of the fixture?

[Colly]

But is the PL then required to reveal that, other than to Liverpool (and potentially the other clubs)? I'm clutching at straws somewhat.

Isak's visa has come through!

[Valentino's fast feet]

Glad to see Isak starting, really which we had our strongest team avaliable for this though. Felt brave and fed up of dodgy streams, so gone a Liverpool pub watch it haha. Was gonna wear my Newcastle shirt, but not white that brave

[originallad]

I like our back four apart from Lascelles.

Issak starting. Which is exciting but also, what a match for him to start in! Deep end or what.

I think Fraser works best as an impact sub. Reckon he'll tire early.

Our midfield is weak without Bruno and ASM.

[seaside nipper]

Need a strong focussed mentality tonight obviously.
In particular I hope Longstaff and Willock rather than Pillock turns up and that both play a positive role here tonight.
ASM obv miss for our new striker to partner up …but Fraser can hopefully be positive …...
No sitting on tbe fence with me ….
This could be absolutely anything tonight

f***ing BT sports

Are amazon going to broadcast any games this year?

I think they've got some games in October before the world cup break

[overseasTOON]

Isak has had more than 5 touches so far but hasn't scored two goals yet. Waste of £60 million.

Everton at home in October.

[originallad]

Held our own so far. Bruno ans ASM in and I reckon we'd be on top you know.

[originallad]

Longstaff man ffs! Should have got rid for £50mil. To Manure as well.

[bodacious benny]

Pleased so far seen as half our first XI are out.

Imagine how good we’ll be when most players are fit!

Turn him into a world class CM like Joelinton
