Liverpool were actually dominant throughout the game and they deserved to win. The amount of goals Newcastle is conceding recently is setting up a bad record for the team especially in away matches. The goalie deserves a very applaud for his excellent performance yesterday otherwise Newcastle would have conceded more than five goals or even more. The players need to work on their ball control and retention as well because the way they lose control of the ball cheaply and giving erroneous passes is getting too much. It's time for Newcastle to upgrade if they truly have the ambitions to be a regular top four and ready to win trophies.
Nevertheless, Newcastle showed a good fighting spirit yesterday at Anfield but the odds was not on their side and the officiating ruined everything in the end. Despite playing defensively, Liverpool were too strong to withstand and they force their way to penetrate in and maintain the lead on the table. It's a great and stylish way to begin the new year.
Newcastle put up a good fight at Anfield yesterday in a bid to save their face from the number of losses they’ve had in the league. Yes the players are under pressure which is one reason why they’re aren’t balanced when with the ball. But Liverpool had the game under control and went home with all 3 points thereby boosting their lead up at the log.
Newcastle Goalie had a nice time out but his defense line couldn’t come to his rescue for him. Now they’ve got crazy work to do and get the team back in shape for this remaining half of the season else they’ll be without any European competition this season. Congratulations to Liverpool on beginning the year very safe on top the league’s log, with the way they're going if they maintain this form, their is a possibility of them winning the league title.
