You have to realize he's talking about how "Klopp's Liverpool" has played on the road. Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool doesn't count, didn't you know?

Liverpool v West Brom (16:00 GMT)
I am convinced that if Philippe Coutinho had been fit to face Newcastle last weekend then Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp would have played a system with a false number nine at St James' Park, especially after getting so much success doing that elsewhere.
In the end, though, it was a non-performance and a defeat which was a bit of a reality check for the Reds after some really promising displays.
It showed how Klopp has to change his tactics if he picks Christian Benteke - you have to play to his strengths and put crosses in.
Liverpool have been finding things harder at home under Klopp - he has won three out of six games in all competitions at Anfield, all by a one-goal margin.
They have found it difficult to break down teams who come to Anfield to defend and you just know that West Brom will be well organised, although, on this occasion, I don't think it will be enough.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Mumford & Sons' prediction: 2-0
Tottenham v Newcastle (16:00 GMT)
You just don't know what you are going to get from this Newcastle team and it must drive Magpies boss Steve McClaren mad.
It worries me that they can put in a performance like they did to beat Liverpool, straight after being hammered at Crystal Palace.
McClaren said his players had "crawled off the field" after last weekend's game because of the effort they put in.
That is great, but it should be the same every game - and who knows whether they will turn up and compete in the same way at White Hart Lane.
I do think they are capable of getting something against Tottenham, though.
Some Spurs fans have been getting a bit excited about their title hopes but they are getting carried away a bit there.
WHAT ABOUT YOU AND LIVERPOOL YOU TWAT
Mauricio Pochettino's side have been unbeaten for 14 league games and have had some impressive wins, but they have also drawn a lot of matches.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Mumford & Sons' prediction: 3-1

It's his prediction for the Everton game that made me fall off my chair.........had I been sitting on one.
Could someone please paste it here for us all to guffaw at. Much obliged.

Norwich v Everton (12:45 GMT)
It is a long time since Everton lost - their last defeat came seven games ago, against Arsenal on 24 October.
In contrast, Norwich are on a poor run - they have only had one victory in their last 10 league games and seemed to go down without too much of a fight against Watford last week.
The Canaries' home form is already looking like it will be crucial if they are going to stay up and I think they realise that.
They showed in their last game at Carrow Road, a 1-1 draw with the Gunners, that they are up for the fight but it is games like this that they have to win if they are going to survive.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Mumford & Sons' prediction: 0-2

Newcastle were rubbish against Liverpool and if Liverpool had been half decent they could have won. If Spurs put on a good show they should have no problems.
Lawrenson is still living in the 1980s. Thankfully Liverpool have been in decline since then and hopefully it will continue.

Lawro is complete prick...his bi-polar/schizophrenic predictions do my nut in...Newcastle are poor, Spurs are in good form and at home. Prediction 1-1
In other ex-footballer predictions, the fat alchy over at Sky Sports has spoken...
Tottenham v Newcastle
It just shows how ruthless this league can be sometimes. Newcastle beat Liverpool and then have to go to White Hart Lane, against a Spurs side who have lost just once this season.
But I think Spurs are getting into that mould at the moment, they're maybe a tad tired, and they look to be going out with the attitude of making sure they don't lose the game before they go out to win the game.
Newcastle's result was phenomenal, but I do expect Spurs to win this, they are a good side with in-form players. They need to break down the brick wall here after two draws.
PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0

Newcastle beat at home a liverpool team missing hendo, can, sturridge, coutinho and sakho.. I don't think they're going to turn a corner with this result, I honestly think we will smash them and don't see the lawro thought process other than wanting us to drop points.

Lawrenson really has no credibility. His predictions are so obviously biased in favour of Lollerpuddle and against us and Everton it is a complete joke. It could be funny if it were written up in an amusing way but to try and pass it off as a genuine attempt at predicting results is a waste of space.

Just going to put a few stats from his predictions out there as I'm bored:
Spurs 8th after 15 games, 3 points behind West Brom.
Leicester 17th, 2 predicted wins from 15 games.
West Ham 19th, Everton 14th but Newcastle 10th.
Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool to have only lost one game between them almost half way through the season.
Finally, he predicts that Man City's 3-0 win against Swansea this weekend will be their 114th consecutive unbeaten game in the Premier League.

Liverpool v Liverpool (K.O. in my mind, every night) :
Liverpool have been in amazing form, particularly at home and I can't see them ever losing another match or even conceding a goal. Apart from when they lost to Palace, but that was just a ruse to not let anyone know just how good they were.
On the other hand though, Liverpool have been in amazing form, particularly away and only lost last time because Sir Alex probably bribed the linesman or some other conspiracy. Otherwise we (sorry they ) could have won 24-0. Easily. Doesn't matter though because they have the momentum and Klopp is the best manager ever and I can see them moving up the league and probably winning it easily.
I just can't call this.
Lawro's prediction : Liverpool to win 10-0.

He's predicting Newcastle to do well against us simply because they beat his beloved Liverpool last out and he still can't get his head around that. But basically its an absurd prediction. Of course Newcastle might draw against us- but its pretty unlikely based in form.
Merson's predictions are generally more sensible.
