Jones dropped deeper to macca's position so szob come on as the 10. Jones excelled when the 10 i felt. Moving him to deeper where his weaknesses comes more apparent is in no way shape or form a fair criticism for me.

I think we're controlling most games.
An offside goal (and he was 2 yds off today) isn't a goal, it's usually due to a good defensive line (as it was today) and shouldn't be used as a 'look at that' moment, to berate them with.
Jota was shite bar his goal. No surprise he fucked up yet again.
I didn't say we're boring to watch, I said 'this style of football at times'.
If offside goals in the first 10 minutes were few and far between, i'd agree. Yes it's a good line, but equally we shouldn't just be relying on VAR to get us out of some holes. It screams a lack of readiness to me.
Otherwise, fair
He wasn’t shit in the first half but all our players looked good as they were under no pressure. As soon as we came under pressure in the 2nd half Jones became invisible. Endo had more influence on the 2nd half than Jones and Endo only played about 7 minutes!
I think we would win every game for the rest of the season if we can sort out those spazzy 10 minute spells we have in our games.
Jota should be giving me 15 points in my (fuck your)fantasy team. Gakpo was sound. Virgil a rock, Ali is a boss made out of weetabix and fair play to Jaros coming in.
Good to see Slot grow some balls and take Salah off.

Jones is a no-trick pony. He’s not creative enough going forward and not strong enough defensively. Ok as a squad player but I will never understand fans who think he deserves an extended run in the team.
Let’s hope
Have to admit, Endo made his presence felt. Was very good when he came on. Will be sad if we do sell him at Christmas.
Yep Endo brought energy to our midfield and really helped us secure the 3 points. Major props to him.
Another big up for Endo. IMO his age and unspectacular style too often lead to him being denied credit which he's earned fair and square. Every successful side needs reliable squaddies and this guy is well good enough to fill that role for us for a while yet.
Endo is boss and should've come on much earlier.
That tackle is something we've missed for the last 9 games and he did it with his 2nd action in less than 5mins he was on the pitch.
They didn’t listen to Klopp they won’t listen to him.
Clear push in his back but Hooper wanted to afford Palace every opportunity to find a late equaliser, the fucking fat bald headed wanker.
Wait, in the press conference before the game he downplayed the problems Klopp had with lunch time kick offs.
Also, who's stopping Slot from making 4-5 subs every game. The man seems allergic to making more than 3.
Only 10 games Mr Slot, you're going to be in for many more surprises if you thought Mac was 1.......it's clear he's been overplayed, for both club and country. He's going to learn pretty quickly whether forced upon him or not, that squad rotation is a pretty big deal if you want to minimize the risk of injuries. It's common sense.
The only good thing about today was the 3 points. and the fact that slot grew a pair of balls and subbed Salah. other than that we were poor yet again and gained to injuries
I dont agree at all. First 60 mins were some of the best we’ve played this season. Dominant performance but couldnt get the second.
Rode our luck a few times the last 30 mins but overall we deserved the 3 points.
8-16 in shots, 3-8 in corners and 32-68% in posession. We deserved that win and I find it a bit weird to say we were poor.
Macca has already posted that he isnt injured, btw.

Perspective.
Palace away is a banana skin. We won. Didn't play great, but we won, and if Jota had had a good day it would have been very comfortable.
Southampton are the shittest team in the league. Arsenal went behind to them and took nearly an hour to score. At home.
City would have been comfortably beaten by Fulham, at home, if Adam Traore were not so shit. But he is. And their only striker didn't manage a single effort on goal after the 15th minute. If they'd had an option on the bench, he'd have been hooked for sure.
Yeah, we're grinding out results and have ridden our luck in moments. But our main rivals aren't exactly doing great either. I've seen a lot of very average play from Arsenal this season. And City are missing their most important player. Villa have had a good start but they can't rely on Duran to score a winner off the bench every game. Spurs are Spurs. Chelsea will turn on each other soon enough, and have potential charges hanging over them for financial irregularities.
There are tougher fixtures ahead. The games to date have been kind to Slot in bedding himself in, and things will be tougher after the international break. That was obvious as soon as the fixture calendar was released. But I feel like this team hasn't really got out of second gear yet, and, for the most part, neither have our rivals.

That’s all too sensible for a Saturday evening.

Seems like a calm character. Probably added a few millions to his value in those 20 minutes.
I'm an Endo fan since day 1, Jones doesn't seem to have to have evolved under Klopp and apart from the odd exceptional performance I still only consider him squad player to finish out a game and not as a game changer. Jaros was exceptional, for a lad to come in the circumstances, deal with the pressures and still perform at a top level he deserves a huge amount of respect.
Absolutely - in all honesty this away game is always a tricky one for us. I was surprised by how comfortable we were in that first half controlling that game. Then the period of the 2nd half comes and I was more than half expecting it from them, and they had some very good chances. I almost shat myself when Ali came off but that 3rd keeper of ours - he was brilliant when he came on - punching that ball out, and then comes Endo son the Samurai comes on to do the dirty shit at the end which was great.
