Mark Lawrenson said :
"Good luck to Alan Pardew. It's not his fault that he has
been appointed as Newcastle boss - it is them who look foolish for
sacking Chris Hughton.
Magpies supporters are not happy, yet again, which is hardly
a shock under the reign of owner Mike Ashley but they should back
Pardew. He has a problem because he has to start winning games
straight away to try to win those disaffected fans over.
But they are up against a Liverpool side who have improved
of late and, dare I say it, when Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard
and Jamie Carragher have been out, some of their other players have
stepped up and taken some responsibility.
For Liverpool fans, the best way to look at the Reds' away
form is very quickly - it's that bad - but I can see them getting a
point here. "
Prediction: 1-1
