We asked for your reaction after Saturday’s game at Anfield.
Here are some of your comments:
Liverpool fans
Matt: This is what happens when you stand still in the summer, assuming that after last season we were OK. We replaced a world-class player with a player with real potential, therefore weakening the team while our main rival bought the best striker. Other teams spent millions improving their team and surely the real threat of Newcastle was obvious.
Keith: They are exhausted and worn out after five years of being the team that presses their opponents into submission. They have the quality in most positions, they just need a good rest that hopefully the World Cup will bring.
