OpinionLiverpool and Newcastle United comparisons are validLiverpool and Newcastle United with very different starts to the season. Obviously, the mood surrounding Liverpool and Newcastle United and their respective fanbases very different. Then the home side get somebody sent off and Liverpool win 1-0 with a penalty five minutes into added time. I found the media reaction quite incredible when covering these opening seven Liverpool matches, seven wins. Things like Newcastle United dominating Liverpool despite a man down, have simply been forgotten about.
