I think Newcastle is better without Gordon, sincerely speaking after watching their match this season for 2 consecutive weeks, I cannot see what he is contributing to the squad and you can see from their play in his absence, they were more energized and manned up to Liverpool as against when they were depending on the weak Gordon up front. I think that red card was a blessing to them in that match and they almost neutralized Liverpool if not for the late goal that rendered their efforts futile in sharing the points with Liverpool. The manager should look into Gordon's performance or find a good replacement up front because that guy is stalling their attacking prowess.
Congratulations to Liverpool, they managed to steal all 3 points in the end.
This game was very interesting which I never expected to see. Despite Newcastle was defeated I was very impressed with your performance because with the current level of Liverpool i wasn't expecting them to score any goals after the red card was issued. Gordon's absence didn't affect them rather it's motivated them to play harder. I was disappointed at Liverpool for playing almost all the second half with 10 against 11 and they could not even hold them. Immediately I noticed the red card I give up for Newcastle which is why I was even shocked with their performance and that is why I was disappointed at Liverpool because I see that as an opportunity for them to win easy. At the end Liverpool struggle to win the match i think their coach will see a lot of mistakes he has make, maybe change in squad is what result into this.
