“Captain” – A lot of Newcastle United fans have responded to Jamaal Lascelles’ latest Twitter post and are backing him to lead the Toon to glory on Saturday.
Newcastle travel to Anfield in the early kick-off on Saturday – with an appalling record haven’t won since 1994.
Liverpool are also the only side with a 100% record in the league – so it will be a tough task for Steve Bruce’s men to take anything from the game.
Lascelles though appears confident about securing a result on Saturday, and a lot of the Toon’s fans are backing their captain.
See the best of the reaction below.

Believe in yourselves fella. They’re only human. Spurs showed you can do it. You’re one of the best CDs in the league. All you can do is give it your all, win lose or draw we’re behind you

These Toon fans trust Lascelles to lead them to, what would be, a shock win.
Mate, there’s only been 4 league games this season, surely you weren’t tired after that?

Other Newcastle supporters want to know why Lascelles needed a rest considering they are only four games into the season.
Overall, then it seems like a lot of Newcastle fans are confident the team can cause an upset, but Liverpool are a superb team and leaving Anfield with anything will be a tough ask.
