Oh, Rio, Rio, dance across the Rio Grande.
A rich man’s Max Dowman. Liverpool have some track record of late winners against Newcastle when you think of the two 4-3’s in the 90’s and the 3-2 where Divock Origi headed a late winner in May 2019. Fabio Carvalho against Newcastle at Anfield in 2022 as well.
Liverpool have gone back at a rate of knots. That was daylight robbery. No RB, No LB and no midfield. H

Oh, Rio, Rio, dance across St. James’ Park.
It was a great finish. Most players would have gone for the obvious which was a blast to the near post. Some balls and composure for a 16 year old on his first game to place back across the goalkeeper. A goal which reminded me a bit of Messi’s last gasp winner at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid in March 2017.

I think they are open at the back. VVD is still a monster in the air but he looks very heavy legged. Elanga’s pace had them in all sorts of problems. If they play a team with an actual striker they could be in bother
A few posts drafted up that never saw the light of day

Only saw from 60th minute but the balance looks off. I would have moved Salah on in the summer, i called for it in the far right liverpool telegram group… but they’re settling in a few new players and haven’t fielded a settled team yet and it’s only 8 weeks on since Jota.
Konate needs to be fucked off pronto

You could have built a house in the space he found himself in
And still winning games. It’s remarkable really. The league winning team gutted.
They’ll have some game on their hands Sunday though
After Trent going, there was massive pressure to keep Salah.
Salah stats are a joke… another assist? But the trade off is youre playing with 10 men now with him.

The billion pound Gooners will be a bridge too far but 6/9 not a terrible start
Some lads will never learn. There’s a wonderful spirit left over from the Klopp era in terms of scoring late winners. Although I think Liverpool are way out in front in general when it comes to stoppage time winners in the Premier League era.
Those chances are in one way a nightmare for an attacking player. You have more than enough time to think about the situation. But you have to hit first time because if you take a touch you’ll be closed down and dispossessed. But yet everybody thinks you have oceans of time. If you miss, it’s a scarring sort of miss. Everybody will remember it. It’s the sort of chance a lot of players will miss because they think too much about it.
Salah is gonna be like Son at Spurs now. Kept on for merchandise and profile. He really looks off the top level pace . A lot to worry Liverpool tonight medium to long term . Great 3 points but that team ain’t taking PSG to penalties in white heat of champions league
How many assists has Trent provided for Salah over the years. They had a good understanding. Bradley is a huge downgrade.
The new lad up top might attract a bit of attention now and free up space for Salah.
But he is far from top of the list in terms of problems.
