Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [30th Aug - 1st Sept 2022]

[Calpol]

Fabinho in for Milner tonight but midfield still seems a weak link for Liverpool. The lad Elliot is doing ok as the more advanced player but Salah having another predictable night. Klopp doesn't look too happy, he's gonna need a fag at half time!

 

[Psycho Ned]

If it stays like this...5pts from a possible 15pts at the start of the season isnt good. When you consider that 1pt was the difference between winning the league and finishing 2nd last season, to be 10 pts behind the leaders after just 5 games, is a mountain to climb after just 1 month.

and City ain't stopping this season (unless Haalands leg falls off!) so 10 points behind is pretty much game over.

I've found some of Klopps comments with transfers interesting too, he hasn't as such called them out but stating he would have taken more risks etc, I think he is getting frustrated now.

Title's already gone, City won't drop as many points as they did last season, and top 4 could be a real test if things don't change soon. We can't defend for **** and our attack's so pedestrian it's easy for teams to just sit back and soak up the pressure.

 

[omnomnom]

Liverpool are so done

Lol so dramatic.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Newcastle doing absolute bits on teams this season, they’ve learned well from their owners.

 

[Bigpig]

I mean to be fair, he might not score in his next 3 games which would make him a 1 in 4 striker

He didn't score much last season but if you looked at all the games he was playing much deeper role.

He's all round play and stats are sweet.

Goals will come.

In all honesty he’s probably ****** off with the impossible task ahead of the club

 

[Robbo]

Isak having a bit of a wicked game at the moment but he's been a solitary man up front so far

 

[Kenai]

Alvarez looking to show he can do it too

 

[JamesH85]

Be surprised if we don't see7 from city!

 

[Kenai]

I've got KDB as captain and Haaland as vice. Really hoping KDB doesn't come on

Here he comes, unlucky

 

[antijoke]

Lol so dramatic.

Not really, in terms of us winning the league I think it’s pretty much nailed on correct. Seems to be cracks all over the pitch and VvD seems uneasy at the back so far

 

[Maundie]

Liverpool will be lucky to qualify for the Europa Conference at this rate, Klopp really does need to add some depth to the squad but he insists on relying on an aging injury prone midfield.

 

[JamesH85]

Alvarez looking to show he can do it too

Tbh he looks very pacey and a really good signing. Looks like a bargain as well

 

[el_dazza]

5-0 up and they're bringing KDB on

 

[the wopster]

Not a chance in hell we see this out, but it’s so refreshing as a Newcastle fan to actually have a go at the 2 top clubs in the country instead of just sitting back and waiting for the inevitable

 

[Purdy]

Any shot of a title was basically built on hoping Haaland misses over half of City's games
It was gone after the first game with our own injuries let alone how we've been since, if we get things together the remainder of the top 4 could be very interesting

 

[Gooner Leroy]

Here he comes, unlucky

Oh FFS.

I could see the battle for 2nd to 4th being considerably more interesting than the battle for the title this season. Which is a bit sad but it is what it is.
