(The Guardian) 16 min It’s a messy start, but as I type, Guimaraes runs studs over the ball 25 yards out – he’s a lovely footballer – battles through two tackles, and when the ball squirts loose, a touch from Gordon allows Isak to set wide for Joelinton … whose shot is straight at Alisson.
17 min Newcastle look the more fluid outfit but Liverpool have ridiculous ability in attack and here they are now, Szboszlai flipping a switch out to Diaz who drives for the box, defenders backpeddling and doing just enough to close down prospective shooting lanes, the eventual effort a stabbed futsal-style toe-bunger that Pope shovels around the post.

(The Guardian) 18 min The resultant corner comes to nowt.
20 min This looks a lot like a team on the way up against one on the way down, the former pushing the pace but without the quality and composure to seize the moment and the latter waiting for that moment.

(The Guardian) 21 min “Yes but in fairness Rashford’s was as close to simulation as he gets, or some fans are willing to admit,” says Nina. “It was at least an exaggeration for me! (Telling that on MOTD they had to zoom for the merest of of thigh glances.) I’m neither a Newcastle nor Liverpool fan, just think it doesn’t help to make the point that simulation isn’t part of the game, as it has its clear benefits, it just didn’t work for Gordon this time!” Who’s making that point? Of course it helps, but if there’s a foul it’s irrelevant and in both cases I think we can see, precisely, that there was. Rashford knows if he goes on the outside the defender has a problem, but the defender’s thigh also caught him and how well MOTD analyse something isn’t relevant I don’t think.

(The Guardian) 23 min I thought this would be a frantic, fizzing game. So far, it isn’t, and I wonder whether that’s because at this point, Liverpool aren’t capable of engaging in one against Newcastle.
24 min Szboszlai into Gakpo, who finds Salah with Burn on the retreat, side-on to show him down the line. For all the good it does him, Salah cutting inside when it suits him only to curl a shot straight at Pope.

Can't believe it's 1nil Newcastle Wait, what? (The Guardian) GOAL! Newcastle United 1-0 Liverpool (25)Klopp should’ve taken Alexander-Arnold off! He’ll wish the ref had sent him off! Because this is all him, a pass sent back to him from Salah – if we’re being generous, not a friendly one – but that’s no excuse for letting it pass under his studs, a straight loss of concentration and nothing else. So Gordon seizes upon it, streaking away from Van Dijk, drawing Alisson – it’s a pretty good likeness too! – and slotting under Alisson’s under-carriage!

(The Guardian) RED CARD FOR VIRGIL VAN DIJK!28 min Goodness me! Again it’s Gordon, coming inside then sliding a ball in behind for Isak … and Van Dijk, caught out, kicks through him rashly, just outside the box! That’s clumsy at best, and I can’t see VAR overturning that.

(The Guardian) 30 min Van Dijk doesn’t want to go, but he’s going to have to, and his momentary refusal so to do isn’t going to do him or the game any good. Isak got down the near side of him – it’s also ball-side – and Van Dijk kicks through him en route to knocking the ball away. I hate to say it, but very few do a cruciate in their 30s and come back the same; he hasn’t, and is nowhere near the colossus he once was.

(The Guardian) 31 min Many aeons after the original offence, Schaer looks to clip the free-kick over the wall, 20 yards out, just left of the D … but hits it, and Tonali’s shot is then deflected wide for a corner that comes to nowt.
