The Magpies come to Anfield with many shortcomings. Several main players were sidelined due to injuries, such as Trippier. Trying to get the best result against Liverpool on paper will definitely not work, but they can put up no less good resistance even though they have to admit defeat 4-2.
Liverpool won and the victory was not a big victory but an important victory to maintain their position in the standings table.
This victory made Liverpool ahead by 2 points from Manchester City, which I calculated from Manchester City's 20 matches even though currently they have only played 19 times.
A team experiencing a crisis will find it difficult to win against a team that is in the best form. Like Newcastle, when a storm of injuries occurs in their squad, it is difficult to explain what strategy is good for the coach to implement.
