(The Guardian) 33 min Change for Liverpool, Gomez replacing Diaz. I don’t suppose Klopp had any other option there, there’s far too long left in the game for anything funky – though he needs a goal.

Lovely save from our keeper, keeping us in this game (The Guardian) 36 min OH MY DAYS WHAT A SAVE! Newcastle win a corner down the right, the ball is cleared just as far as Almiron on the edge, and he chests down beautifully before annihilating a volley brutally … which a flying Alisson shoves onto the bar and out! That is sensational behaviour.

(The Guardian) 37 min Alisson’s a funny one in that the majority of his big saves look like bad misses. Of course, his positioning and aura are also a huge part of that, and here he is again coming to punch out a cross, Newcastle recycling the ball and finding Almiron who swipes wide.
39 min Newcastle’s midfield are wiping the floor with Liverpool’s. It’s that simple.

(The Guardian) 40 min “You can blame the cruciate for many things,” reckons David Singleton, “but I don’t think you can blame it on that. Last I checked the cruciate ligament wasn’t in your brain and that was just stupid. Or perhaps frustration with having to play next to Alexander-Arnold.” It’s not as simple as that, I don’t think. For the entirety of his career, Van Dijk’s been able to rely on his power and pace, now he can’t. I’d be amazed if those losses haven’t affected his mentality – old him might’ve let Isak go assuming he’d have caught up and made the tackle or block – but I agree, the state of things around him won’t be helping.

(The Guardian) 42 min Newcastle knock it about, Liverpool chase.
45 min At last a bit of Liverpool, Mac Allister spinning away from Almiron and Guimaraes, who foul him. Free-kick Liverpool, 35 yards out, dead centre…
45+1 min …which Szboszlai larrups over the top.

(The Guardian) 45+2 min “I’m listening to radio commentators,” says Robert King, “incredulous at the sending off and VAR.He got the ball , is their opinion.” That doesn’t mean it’s not a red I’m afraid. Van Dijk did get the ball, but he had to boot Isak first. Well, that’s my reading anyway; I might be wrong, I often am.

(The Guardian) 45+2 min Tonali concedes a free-kick which Robertson swings towards the back post, Joelinton doing well to poke away from Gomez.
45+3 min The resultant corner comes to nothing, Tonali’s aggression enough to get the ball away and after battling through a challenge or two spins away from Szboszlai, deploys feet to works space down the line, and is happy enough when Gomez boots him to the ground.

(The Guardian) Half-time email: “Totally agree with your Van Dijk synopsis,” writes John Donnelly. “He used to have a large window of time to clear any danger because he had different ways to do it, and pace as back up. It isn’t just that he no longer has that pace as back up (or call it the Kyle Walker effect), he now has added pressure from the shorter window to make the right decision and fewer options to deal with any danger, which will ultimately lead to more mistakes and less confidence.” On top of which, he knows he’s got lesser quality around him.

(The Guardian) On Sky, Jamie Carragher chastises Van Dijk’s application in allowing Isak by him, and his rashness in tackling. He says we don’t know it was a goalscoring opportunity as we didn’t see Isak’s first touch, so Townsend points out that the reason for that is the foul itself. Carragher has no sensible retort to that because there isn’t one, but carries on arguing nevertheleess.
