  • Newcastle lucky not to lose by 10 goals

  • Salah the best player in the premier league? I can't think of anyone who comes close.

  • Wtf... Mo is the man of the match ... Always unfair with Salah

  • @whoscored tackles was more make it corect pleace

  • Salah will be a massive miss during Afcon, Nunez absolutely must find form or else the lead Liverpool have over City will turn into a 3-5 point deficit

  • @sarigginsUSA They have other attackers and Salah will only miss 4 EPL matches caps. If they had to rely on Nunez for goals they'd be screwed. He's been the worst finisher (underperformed xG) of the whole division since he arrived 18 months ago. It's not form for him, he just really sucks at finishing

  • Feel for Eddie Howe, now, Newcastle is been taken apart, he might lose his job......

  • @sethactive he should plan for the defense better if he want to keep his job.. now Newcastle like Leicester and Leeds united.. if not they will go down to Championship league

  • Yeah they won't win EPL with Nunez starting as 9. Even Werner wasn't this frustrating

  • @benj That Dude, Nunez, is a mid-level club striker, Westham utd kinda level

  • 1-0 final score

  • Likely under 2.5goals

  • @ak84 hahaha

  • Liverpool might get up to two goals in the Second half, if they can keep the same momentum, as this half

  • 2-1

  • BTTS and over 2.5 goals in the game.

  • @Marbella Nice Win -)

  • Newcastle=Man Utd, so 1-0 or 2-1, hard fought home win. Liverpool more options from the bench and better coach.

  • Salah has scored in 5 of his 6 EPL games against Newcastle at home.

  • @Marbella He scored -)

  • @Marbella he missed a penalty kick

  • Newcastle 8 defeats in 12 games.

  • 1-1
