Chancel Mbemba is once again proving that clearly he is by far Newcastle’s best and most reliable defender.

Scousers and Geordies were booming the Rafa La Bamba song on repeat…two days later and I can’t get the bloody thing out of my head.

Liverpool 2 Newcastle 2: Possible offsides called wrong, penalty claims, stray ‘elbows’ and even a phantom whistle.

Liverpool fans: ‘Great first half. Thought we could stroll it, Rafa had other ideas.’

Sixth game out of seven under Rafa Benitez where Newcastle conceded the first goal in opening half and left the manager shaking his head.

Andros Townsend: “In the past two or three weeks we have shown that in abundance…”

Martin Keown: “They (Newcastle) have got good players, who now believe that maybe they can get out of trouble.”

Jurgen Klopp on Newcastle: “Nobody understands why they are in the relegation zone….”

Dejan Lovren: “Everything is in your head. If you want to, you can score another two goals.”

Rafa Benitez: “They have shown confidence, character and passion…it’s a big step because we can keep believing and fighting.”
