Crystal Palace v Liverpool Match Thread

Serious question. When all your opponents start to target the same player as the weak link in your defence, is it time to admit that player is a weak link.
 
Nah, it was a tame coming together with Karius trying to pull out and defenders were alongside Zaha.

Pen and yellow was the right decision.
Was it worse than Cech vs Baros? Looked about the same for me and that was a red imo.
 
Again,why is Milner on the left. His greatest strength is his crossing, wtf?!
 
Play him in midfield where he's better

Has anyone seen him play in midfield or is it just one of those things now?

I can’t imagine someone positionally naive excelling in midfield.

TAA needs time it would seem and putting him in midfield right now would be throwing him at the deep end even more so than now.

Youth level he dominated and it's his position.

I'd rather try him there where he's familiar, than training him in a new position.
 
And it's the rule now
Always should have been.

It's like an outfield player sliding ten yards then colliding with a player & just missing the ball cos they played it when he got there.

As long as the challenge isn't dangerous it's a genuine attempt to play the ball just mistimed.

This bellend pundit saying a keeper should just stay on his line. Get to fuck dickhead, that wasn't karius fault imo, I put that all on TAA.
 
It seems like we are missing a CAM this game, we need someone to bring the ball forward towards their defence to allow the front three to run in behind.
 
Two things stand out. Henderson plays some safe passes but his safe passes are giving palace time to close down and swarm in midfield.

Secondly, huge mismatch with TAA and Zaha. That's on Klopp, should have given extra instructions to Matip to cover TAA.

This is not to pick on TAA, he looks good going forward but defensively I worry about the next 70 minutes against Zaha

Just as I'm typing Henderson in acres of space to drive onwards, panics looks around and then does a safe sideways pass, opportunity lost!

We definitely need an intelligent ball juggling midfielder, ala Coutinho. ..
 
We don't look composed & patient like we have been against the bottom sides most of this season, we look overly anxious & desperate to score.

Really wish I'd have put my insurance bet on now.
