Newcastle vs Liverpool live: Rio Ngumoha slots home stoppage time winner for Reds

Here’s everything Howe had to say about the injury issues afflicting Newcastle tonight.

Leeds away is Newcastle’s next game – a very winnable one, on paper, but less so after tonight’s injuries?

Lots of Newcastle fans have taken to social media tonight to express their gratitude to – and admiration for – captain Bruno Guimaraes.

He worked incredibly hard tonight, scored the first goal to keep Newcastle in the game, and as Richard Jolly reported from the stadium, he wrote in his programme notes that his family are now Geordies.

The fans in question are, as you’d expect, contrasting Bruno’s attitude with that of Isak, who has refused to train and play amid his effort to leave the club.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall for Isak’s meetings with Newcastle higher-ups.

If he stays, what on Earth will the atmosphere inside the changing room be like?

And in the stands?

The youngest-ever goalscorer in Liverpool’s history:

Here’s more of what Howe had to say on Isak’s potential exit:

A good point from Thierry Henry?

Maybe Newcastle will have to dig in their heels even more than they already have, in regard to Isak.

Howe admitted that Joelinton and Tonali’s injuries looked “threatening” to the team, while Gordon is now out for three games due to that red card.

Howe said his team did a lot of things well but, “I think we’ll have to show that in a new way without Alex.”

He’s asked if he’s aware of Isak having met with the club, which happened today.

“I wasn’t aware of that, so obviously talks have been going on since Alex decided to not go on tour with us.

“I concentrate on coaching the team, so I’ve got no update for you.”

“We hope that we can bring players into the football club, especially in the forward positions, so we’ll continue right to the end [of the transfer window].”

Howe: “I thought there was no intent. People say it looked bad, I haven’t seen it back. I thought he tried to pull out at the end [...] As I said, I don’t think there was any intent from him.”

Howe: “A bruising game for us. I think so many different emotions, because really proud, really pleased, great energy, great intensity.

“Really proud of the following of the gameplan, and then the adapting [with 10 men]. To come away with nothing, injuries, suspensions and concussions – it’s a pretty bad day

“Sandro [Tonali]’s doesn’t look good, he was in quite a bit of pain. I don’t know the full extent of his or Joelinton’s injury, but the both look quite threatening to us.”
