i thought this one would have been harsh to have been given also, seeing as he was clearly offside anyway. :nod

"Goal by Xabi Alonso (Liverpool) drilled right-footed (bottom-right of goal) from own half (35+ yards).Liverpool 2-0 Newcastle."

Am I right in thinking that's a bit of an understatement?

35+ yards....yea, I'd say they are just a bit off... :buttrock

Good result and best performance of the season so far. The team is starting to show signs of settling down and gelling together now. Kuyt is starting to look like a very good prospect indeed and there are signs of an understanding developing between him and bellamy. Bellamy looked ok tonight but his finishing was very poor and he really should've had one goal at least. The defence also looked alot more settled and the only real hearts in mouth moments came when the barcodes should've had a penalty in all honesty.
It was no surprise to see us performing better as Xabi performed alot better tonight. He was looking alot like his old self and his pass for Kuyt's goal was quality and the goal was out of this world.

More of this on satuday lads.

Good 3 points needed indeed, not a good performance and Spurs will trouble us more than the toon, I am happy we are the top half of the table, but something is just not right.

Yeah, it's called hitting the woodwork and missing sitters!

I agree that he does make himself available really well, as he makes good runs and works the channels all day. However he has a real lack of quality in his shooting. He lacks invention as well sometimes, he trys to just run past players and good defenders will just show him wide (e.g Chelsea) making him ineffective.

Having said hopefully he will improve, coz he certainly hasnt hidden even though he's not playing that well, he keeps working hard and making himself available for chances so well see.

Totally disagree best performance of the season was against Chelsea, we played better on sunday than we did tonight.
That was the problem Newcastle arnt Chelsea and teams that win the prem are up for every game not just the big ones.
We just have new players now who think big clubs only matter plus a few shell shocked ones.
