They had a brief moment in the second half where they could have scored and maybe at least gone on to draw. But a few minutes after Perch missed his header they came down the middle... Lost the ball and most of them just didn't even care enough to sprint back. They left the 2 at the back which Liverpool split with a pass and it was 3-0.
After that it seemed every attack Liverpool had, they just could not be arsed running back.
It's almost as if they're thinking "were going to lose against Liverpool and arsenal, so why bother, just concentrate on west ham and qpr'.
But I honestly can't see them even getting a point in the remaining games.
West ham will be well up for the game with Big Sam and Nolon out to prove a point. Not sure about Carroll.... He doesn't seem to hold a grudge against Newcastle and there's hints he'd be open to rejoining.
QPR could be relegated by their game. If they're going to get any points this is their best chance... But they're faster, more creative, have more attacking options and at home.
Arsenal.... It was like a flashback watching Liverpool, to the demolishing arsenal handed us at their ground. I expect the same stupid tactics will be used as was yesterday.
451 with cisse alone, despite not being good on his own.
Defend for 70mins and hope to nick something at the end.
It's been pardew's tactics for most of the season, especially in Europe.
