An electrical show at St James’ Park and one that might’ve received us three factors had it not been for a couple of unhealthy giveaways and a few emphatic ending from Mo Salah, who helped Liverpool depart Newcastle with a 3-3 draw.
Right here’s our marks out of 10 and feedback the morning after an entertaining evening on Tyneside:
Pope (7) – Crushed 3 times however made some vital saves to disclaim Macallister and Jones. Distribution was a bit higher! Picked out a couple of passes to full-backs and was fast to launch ball on counter.
Livramento (7) – Other than shedding the ball as soon as on the sting of his personal field, Tino carried out effectively in each assault and defence. Helps carry the ball ahead and did fairly effectively in opposition to Gakpo and Diaz. Not a lot got here down his facet.
Schar (7.5) – Confirmed nice willpower to not hand over on the ball for our third aim. Passing was wayward at occasions however defended effectively.
Burn (7.5) – Gained the whole lot within the air and made a couple of huge tackles to chop out Liverpool assaults. Typical whole-hearted efficiency and dealt with Nunez very effectively.
Corridor (6) – First half was good, the place he obtained tight to Salah, however was given a torrid time by the Egyptian and Alexander-Arnold within the second half. It was his poor go that turned over possession, immediately resulting in their first equaliser. Nonetheless did loads of good, however all three objectives coming down his facet.
Tonali (8.5) – All motion efficiency and barely put a foot improper however was caught out by Jones for the equaliser. Tracked the run however couldn’t hold with him. Does lots of the little issues that go unnoticed so effectively and regarded a category act in that No.6 function, snapping into tackles, shifting the ball ahead rapidly and barely shedding possession.
Guimaraes (8.5) – That’s extra prefer it. Two assists and a efficiency significantly better than we now have seen recently, with the Brazilian thriving in that right-sided no.8 function, which allowed him to be barely extra inventive as he slipped a couple of threaded balls behind Liverpool’s midfield; one being the go to Isak that led to Gordon’s aim. Plus, he FINALLY received the coin toss!
Joelinton (7) – Caught in possession a couple of occasions and performed a component in Liverpool’s second aim. Usually highly effective efficiency off the ball however may add a bit extra in possession.
Murphy (6) – Hit the submit and had an excellent probability within the second half that he couldn’t get on the right track after lobbing Kelleher. Loads of power and supplied an outlet, however was low cost in possession at occasions and lacked high quality in key moments.
Gordon (8) – Missed a golden alternative within the first half however obtained a a lot wanted aim within the second half. Was again at it on the left and regarded way more snug in his greatest place. Virtually obtained a superb help after slicing in from the left and pinging a go that put Murphy in behind. A lot, significantly better!
Isak (9) – An electrical show from the Swede. Taking part in in opposition to a excessive line brings him into the sport much more and we appear to be a special crew when he’s on kind. Took his aim brilliantly, linked up effectively all through and fed Gordon for his aim. Ought to’ve had a penalty however VAR ignored Quansah’s journey. Wants to remain match!
Subs:
Barnes (6) – Did his job effectively however hardly ever threatened in an attacking sense.
Wilson, Longstaff, Willock (N/A) – All got here on with only a few minutes to go.
