Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United meant their excellent home game in 2022 ended on Saturday lunch. But as for the bigger picture, nothing has changed.
The reality is that this defeat could have caused some concern at one point, but the hard work of Eddie Howe and his team means it will not push them to relegation. Hard work is ahead on the training ground and in the transfer market, but most people knew this before the clash with Liverpool.
And Howe was in the mood. Even after a good victory in Norwich last week, Howe did not get carried away.

After the game with Liverpool, he said: “We know there’s a lot of work to be done, but I think we’ve improved a lot from where we were, so I don’t think anyone would have a different view before the game.” match my opinion is the same.
“But I know the players did their best on a hot day today to try to get something out of the game and as I said, they were in it until the last shot.”
Newcastle has shown that they have made progress, but in an inconspicuous way
The Magpies were badly defeated the last time they faced one of the big boys at St. James Park in Manchester City, who came out and won 4-0 last December. This time Liverpool’s visit was different.
The Reds may have dominated possession and created 24 goal attempts. But it was Newcastle always in the match and Liverpool had to wait patiently for the last referee signal on a day when they were pressed hard.
True, United barely created a clear chance to score, but at the break, after taking the pressure, it would only take a moment of quality or even luck to force something.
The defining moment from Newcastle’s point of view was probably Alan Saint-Maximin’s ball for Chris Wood. The New Zealand international failed to beat the offside flag or Alison at the door of Liverpool.
Later, a goal was scored by Bruno Guimaraes, who received his shot, but hit it straight at his compatriot. No moment was standard for retro, but a tie in any of these episodes in the second half could leave Liverpool with too much to do in the final stages.
In any case, Newcastle have shown that they can at least step on the field and compete with a great team these days. Something that hasn’t always appeared in many Chronicle match reports in recent years.
Check Jürgen Klopp’s name for Joelinton
Jürgen Klopp has praised Joelinton’s praises before and thought the Brazilian’s presence in Newcastle’s top three was reminiscent of the £ 40 million Bundesliga days.
The German boss said that Joelinton was an interesting signing back in August 2019 and he checked it again after the 1-0 victory for his team at St. James Park. Joelinton’s role was more defensive, as he won seven balloons and several important fights.
After watching the videos of Newcastle’s victory in Norwich, when Joelinton played as number 9, Liverpool joined the Toon team with the former player of Hoffenheim in the width and Alan Saint-Maximin in the middle.
Klopp then said: “Obviously, Newcastle changed a bit, put Joelinton on the right side – the left side, our right – and kept the ball there [and] went for a second ball.
“We fought a lot, we tried to adapt to it, we did better when the ball was on the ground, we already had a really good game, I really liked how we played, how we put them [and] they were silent. “
