To be fair to Allen, he isn't playing in proper position so I can forgive him for his performance. But the others have no excuse.

Well, the 3-5-2 did give control of the game to Liverpool, but at the cost of what little attacking threat they would normally possess. Since Chelsea have got the goal anyway I think it's only a matter of time until they go back to a 4-3-3 with Assaidi or Suso. Question for Rodgers is who to partner Agger at the back, both Wisdom and Carra have had some suspect moments in that first half.
they just need to add a few more Swansea and la liga rejects

Excellent job lads, well deserved 3 points based on the 2nd half performance alone. We could have been in trouble a few times if it weren't for Jaskeleinen and some smart defending from Reid & Tomkins, but in general Newcastle seem so toothless going forward - for the amount of times they got up the flank to send a cross into the box, you really would have expected them to score. Carroll was unlucky not to score himself, but the Toon keeper made a great last ditch save to keep them in it.
*edit, first win in 14 years at St. James Park! COME ON YOU IRONS!

One of the worst Newcastle matches I have ever seen
That compensation would be about one Andy Carroll.

trolololol Nolan trolling Newcastle
Our entire midfield is wank. How can a midfield with Gerrerd, Allen and Sahin have absolutely no creativity whatsoever? It's not just a one off either, been like this for a couple of games now.
The only opportunities we've had have come from Enrique and Johnson, who are thankfully both looking like the fullback pairing we had at the beginning of last season.
Centre back setup is wrong, there is no reason to drop Coates, even if he did make a mistake in Russia.
No more excuses after this game. We have to step it up.

Here's another:
We got rid of Nolan because we wanted to play a more fluid style of football.
We've played the most amount of longballs of any team in the PL this season.

It's the same position he has been playing all season, and he's scored what, 7 league goals. Problem lies with the service he's getting this match.
Won a corner for chelsea and blocked off ramires for liverpool
Juve?

Suso needs to come on on the right. Take Carragher off. Sterling to move on to the left.
He's talking about Sterling, you're talking about Suarez =P

It was the corner that resulted in the goal? Horrible.

Doing well on the bets so far.
Won on City coming from behind, Won on West Ham winning, won on United winning yesterday.
Just put a fiver on Mata to score.

Already finished lad.
Newcastle... dear. Remember when a few of us said they'd finish around 9th/10th and Kyoufu laughed at us all?
Come join the picnic blankets Kyoufu. It isn't too late.
Also I'll be home in 10 minutes, I want my arrival to cue a Lolerpool fight back
Suso's ineffective on the right. If we bring anyone on on the wing I want Assaidi, who can take his man on and down to the byline. Bring Suso on in the centre and watch him create.
Oh!

on paper i was happy with the formation but it's definitely too negative in practice
johnson is effectively our second striker (lol), so when he's not getting the ball we lose so much going forward

I'd prefer Assaidi on the wing (either, both Stirling and Assaidi are comfortable on both sides) and Suso in the middle for someone.
edit: see Arnie had the same suggestion.
They're just trying to teach Zeman a lesson: watch your back.
Thank you Lazio fans. You have imparted great knowledge on wise Zeman.
Lollll I really wanna get Roma 2012/13 DVD at the end of the season, it'll be entertaining as fuck.
