(The Guardian) My guess is that Liverpool also look to target wide areas. I’m certain they’ll think Salah has the beating of Burn, while Trippier’s desire to attack offers Luis Diaz an opportunity. What might well decide the game, though, is the midfield battle: Joelinton, Tonali, Guimaraes v Endo, Mac Allister, Szboszlai. On the face of things, I fancy Newcastle, as they’re more familiar with each other and might also be better individuals, but Liverpool’s trio probably has more goals in it.

(The Guardian) 1 min Liverpool go back to Konate, who immediately whacks long to no one. But Liverpool win it back on halfway and Szboszlai wins a corner off Burn. Good start from the visitors.
2 min Alexander-Arnold clips to the edge of the six-yard box, where Matip, under the ball and under pressure, heads over.

(The Guardian) 3 min The clock on the top of the screen stopped and has now disappeared, so please excuse any slightly off timestamps as, well, I’ll be , er, making them up, with a little help from my press gantry stablemate Ste_Macca.
3 min Ah, it’s back. Alisson is well out of his goal, participating in the buildup while Gordon fills a space infield to prevent Alexander-Arnold inverting.

(the Guardian) 4 min Liverpool are pressing high, and it’s this new midfield that’s allowing them to. On which point, I should note that Gakpo is no longer in it, restored to centre-forward to allow Endo in.
5 min Gordon barges through the back of Alexander-Arnold who, on his back, tosses the ball away; he’s booked but Gordon isn’t, which makes sense in a sense, and no sense in another sense. Dissent needs sorting, but are we really saying the original offence was less serious than the reaction?

(The Guardian) 6 min Gordon nails Alexander-Arnold on the outside! And I really want to refrain from saying stuff like this, but it looks like the ref bottles handing out a second yellow card! Gordon was away, any other player and I’m sure it’s booking … but John Brooks says not!
8 min Looking again and trying to cut the ref some slack, maybe we could say it was just a foul and not every foul is a card. But Gordon was away, Alexander-Arnold made no attempt to make a fair challenge, and I’ve no idea how we justify the call – all the more so if the minor toss we saw earlier is a yellow.

(The Guardian) 10 min On the touchline, Joe Gomez is warming up; Klopp might feel he can’t simply hope Alexander-Arnold stay’s out of trouble for the remaining 1,593 minutes, especially given Gordon will target him and Barnes can take over when he’s tired.
12 min Guimaraes flicks the ball over his own head, eases away from Mac Allister … and wears the inevitable foul. Free-kick Newcastle, 45 yards out, almost dead centre.

(The Guardian) 14 min “Gordon is an annoying little brat,” says Joe Pearson, “and was obviously trying to buy the second yellow. He was not seriously impeded. If that had been in the box, Gordon would have been carded for simulation. (Yes, I’m a Liverpool fan).” I don’t know about that; I think Alexander-Arnold pulled him down with a hand on the shoulder, and Gordon’s intention isn’t relevant because it’s still a foul. That’s my reading of things anyway, not dissimilar to those as regards the penalty Marcus Rashford won for Man United yesterday. (a/k/a it was a bullshit call they gave for the Red Devils yesterday)...
