    Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on Match of the Day: "I think we deserved a point maybe but not more because we didn’t play well enough.

    "I like to play the dirty points too – it's no problem. If Alberto’s goal was given it was 1-1 then the game can change. Until then we didn’t play as well as we like to.

    "I have to watch the game again. We were not really in the game. We were not aggressive enough or close enough. There were good moments for pressing but we didn't do it.

    Asked about pundits talking up Liverpool's title credentials: "I’m sorry if someone is disappointed. Maybe someone is laughing at this. We’re not part of this discussion. I hope some people did something better on this Sunday than watching this game.

    "We have to react and learn. I'm sure the lads will do it."

    Tom Gardner: Those post-match comments from Klopp show how you lose with dignity. Classy guy. Mourinho would do well to take note.

    Belete Eshetea: One day you're a title contender, the next you've no chance to finish in the top four. Welcome to the Premier League Mr. Klopp

    Georginio Wijnaldum has now been involved in 56% of Newcastle's Premier League goals this season (9/16), only Watford's Odion Ighalo (65%) has scored or assisted a higher share of his team’s goals.

    Newcastle boss Steve McClaren on Sky Sports: "You have to work and you have to work really hard – crawl back into the dressing room. We have to maintain that. We grew into the game, you could see our lack of confidence at the start. But I thought we deserved to win.

    "The players care and there is desire – you saw that today. What we’ve been through they will learn from that.

    "We said at half-time, even the supporters are gradually growing into the game.

    "There’s always a plan, when you lose the plan goes wrong. We talked about the workrate, we kept compact and when you keep your discipline you get results.

    "We’ve come to this position about three times when you think the penny has dropped. And again you’d like to say this is the beginning. For 24 hours we will enjoy it and get back to work."

    Newcastle manager Steve McClaren on Match of the Day:"It's absolutely huge, absolutely massive. Once or twice we've taken ourselves to the brink of crisis and clawed our way back and that's what we've done today.

    "We worked hard, it is so tough to get a result in this league. We've crawled off the field, we've put in so much effort. That's what we need every week.

    "The harder you work the luckier you get. Everything evens itself out and it's about time we had some decisions."

    How often do Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea not score on the same weekend?

    Gary, Birmingham.

    It's a yes and no from me... Yes, the Premier League is the best for entertainment, drama and competition between all teams (except for THAT Derby team...), but is it the best for quality? No. Poor defending appears to be a Premier League epidemic and that is the biggest difference between the top Premier League teams and Europe's elite.

    Jurgen Klopp's charisma hasn't deserted him after a defeat. An engaging, entertaining set of interviews.

    Steve McClaren says he needs his players to 'crawl back' into the changing rooms at the end of games. That's how much effort he needs from them.

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "With the situation Newcastle are in and the situation we are in, you have to say they deserved the win. I couldn't see that we should have won, we were not good enough today. I don't know why. I have to see it again and know more about it but it was hard work. It should not be this hard. We could do better. We should play much more football, our pressing was not good. We were not compact - there was a lot of things we did not do well."

    On Moreno strike being ruled out for offside: "He [the linesman] would say that he should see it, it was pretty clear I think. Maybe we deserved a point, sometimes you need dirty points. But if one team deserved to win it was Newcastle. 

    "A few days ago we were were brilliant, today we were no good. That's the way it can go."

    Newcastle goalscorer Georginio Wijnaldum: “It’s a really big result because we’ve had a few poor weeks. We reacted well today. We played as a team. It was difficult for Liverpool to create chances. We learned from the last two weeks where the performance was not good.

    "When you play at home you want the fans behind you and you must give them something back.

    "Sometimes you need luck to score a goal. The first bit of luck was the ball staying at my feet. After that I shoot. He touched it - I still think it’s my goal because I’ve shot on goal.

    "It’s always important and good if you win games because it will give you confidence. We must know we won’t win games easily. We must fight like we did today."

    Mark Savile: Shame the linesman got Moreno's goal wrong but Liverpool were uninspiring. Shame since could have gained ground on top 4

    Kyle: Brilliant win from Newcastle and a deserved one to for the team performance though we were lucky with Moreno's goal

    Hassan: It's not a LFC policy to blame poor results because of injury or suspension, but to be honest we really miss Coutinho & Emre Can

    Strong upwards movement from Bournemouth and now Newcastle this weekend. Even Villa got a point.

    Georginio Wijnaldum is told that the first goal is an own goal.

    "I don't think so," he says.

    Not saying that Klopp has made a mistake. But Sturridge and Origi on the bench? He'll learn.

    Such a lifeless display from Liverpool. If this was Rodgers he would be being battered.

    They could do indeed Curtis.

    That win lifts Newcastle up one place in the table but importantly it is above rivals Sunderland.

    They have 13 points now, the same as Norwich and Bournemouth.

    James Riches: If nothing else, this puts to bed the ridiculous notion that one good win can turn an average team into 'title contenders'

    Curtis: Newcastle have a lot to be positive about, with favourable results next weekend, they could go above Chelsea.

    Wonderfully taken, that second clinching goal. And deserved too. Newcastle were poor in the first half but have offered more than a tired-looking Liverpool today.
