Our Mate Mark Lawrenson Gives His Verdict On Newcastle v Liverpool
Former Liverpool defender and ex-Newcastle United defensive coach Mark Lawrenson has predicted a 1-1 draw between two of his former employers.
Lawrenson tweeted some thoughts on Saturday’s game:
“The Magpies signed a lot of players in January but most of them have been very inconsistent.
“This Newcastle team still has a lot to prove as far as I’m concerned. Loic Remy has done extremely well since arriving from QPR but he was their only significant summer signing.
“Liverpool won 6-0 at St James’ Park in April but things will be a lot closer this time.
“For me they (Newcastle) badly needed more new faces in the summer to improve the balance in the dressing room and gee some of the others up. I am going to back Alan Pardew’s men to get a draw though.
“The Reds will be looking to pick up where they left off before the international break but they are away from home and a point will be a decent result.”
