I for one would be demanding that it was chalked off by the VAR. It's not Liverpool's responsibility to keep time, that's up to the officials. The 5 minutes of added time was already too many for the half that was played, adding three more on tops was insult to injury. I'm not bothered by it though as I'm still super happy with the way we played with who we had available as well as a fantastic debut for Isak.

When you're actually interested in buying there's nothing to gain and plenty to lose by leaking any information early doors. Ashley era Newcastle they may have seen it as placating the supporters (despite it likely doing the opposite for many) but these days a deal that's wrapped up without the early knowledge of the media is where it's at. That's not to say that I'm expecting anyone, but if won't come as a big surprise if more business is done. As has been inferred it will just be moving the planned signings a little forward. I am hopeful that we can clear out some more bench warmers, though there's a school of thought that says they could be gaining in value as our club collectively improves. Somewhat optimistic.

Dear [insert club name], We have been tracking the progress of [insert player name] for some time now and would like to put forward an offer for 25m to begin negotiations for personal terms. In addition to the aformented sum supplementary bonuses of 5m would be on offer on a pro-rata basis for the next five seasons where champions league football is secured and where Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser each play in more than 25 games. Should you wish to accept this offer flash your lights three times, our representatives are waiting outside. Kind regards, Saud... PI.. Newcastle United PS - Our offer for [insert other player name] is still on the table.

A less than 4 days turn-around cost us our legs in the second half. Without that I have no doubt we could have sustained our efforts from the first half for longer.

Should never have been 5 minutes, but our lads can hold their heads high.

Oh fuck off, cunts.

Wonderful block from Burn

They're going to have to stretcher a few of ours off at the end here.

Where have they found 5 minutes in this half?

Willock's got no legs left.

Miggy was still sprinting out there.

As he neared the goal he was having PTSD flashbacks to the Fun88 challenge.

Klopp would be cantering up and down the sideline if that passage of play was reversed.

Great debut wor Al'.

Far out, so close, but what a wonderful finish!

I both don't want to and need to know how you do that to your pants.

You'll be doing your hip next, take it easy pop.

The best thing you can say about that shot is that his hair looks nice, Trent D'Arby.

Wonder whether Ferdinand thinks Isak has fit right in. Actually, no I don't.

Quality ball from Longstaff who noone on here has ever doubted for a moment.

Yes!!! You beauty!!!!! ISAK!!!!!!!

Liverpool foul us all game then Klopp carries on like... well, Klopp.... as though we've assaulted his mother after we compete for a 50/50.

I suppose we'll keep him.
