They stayed sharp to for the full 90 against utd who were waiting like hawks for a mistake. So they have got the discipline to see it out if they can keep your attack quiet somehow. I think Newcastle's issue is they can't hit a cows arse with a barn door shaped banjo, the rest is not desperate. Not great but they seem to work well as a unit to stop others. At least Newcastle play that way out of necessity atm unlike utd who are percentage football peasants, christ it is a chore to watch that.Wouldn’t be surprised to see us run out of ideas against Newcastle and struggle.
They’ve only lost two games since the turn of the year if I remember correctly. Chelsea in the cup and Manchester City in the league. Although they have picked up a lot of draws.
On top of that there’s the whole Rafa returning to Anfield thing. So there’s that added spice.
If they frustrate you for 35mins and the first 15 of the second half they are very capable of nicking a draw. Big if though asking them to stop your no holds barred attacking. Either way i expect Newcastle to be under the cosh for the first 20mins especially. They must weather that storm if they hope for anything against you chaps.
