Crystal Palace v Liverpool Match Thread

Georgie sideways

 

[KopRed]

We have Gini, then Hendo whose first instinct is to not attack. And Milner takes about 10 touches to get the ball under control.

 

[hmmmmm1]

A Really sloppy start from us again in an early kick off. Some players have been absolutely dreadful. Need to step it up in the second half. Midfield is so one paced

 

[FoxForceFive]

HT.

I'm seriously pissed off.

Cos this was so predictable & for hoping for anything different. And cos I stupidly don't put money on Palace despite being convinced we could well fuck this up, at least I'd have had a silver lining to this cunt of a fucking cloud.

It's everything I feared so far.

I fucking HATE early kick offs & the fact Klopp hasn't learned to deal with them yet.

Love international weekends me

Let's see what klopp can squeeze out of them

 

[Fabio]

Bring on Oxo for milner

We've got enough water carriers, we need drive

Lallana for Gini if it didn't improve

 

[Dave G]

The problem here is Wijnaldum hasn't made one single forward pass in the whole 45 minutes. His instinct is to automatically turn backwards no matter where he is on the pitch with the ball and it is killing us going forward.

 

[Hansern]

Fucking hell, so sluggish and poor.
Not much luck i front of goal either.

Klopp needs to give them a bollocking at half time

I just said pretty much this (word for word) to my son.

We should bring anyone on for Wijnaldum cos the cunt wants nothing to do with this game at all.

Roy has hacked into Manu"s network and nicked Jose"s playbook.

He doesn't 9 times out of 10

What a frustrating game. No luck, no space, no invention, no energy and a no-brain keeper moment.

I hope Klopp changes it now and not at the 75 min mark.

To be fair, it wasn't a hard information to source.

Just go to any Liverpool forum.

I think he's made a career out of it the useless cunt.

Clinton Morrison: "It's been a great performance from Palace so far".

"Great performance"....

 

[Ryan]

The midfield 3 of Wijnaldum, Henderson, Milner are like watching The English Patient, 3 times.

Again, "great" doesn't mean "attractive"

They've stopped us in our tracks. Speculative efforts from distance they'd take all day every day

They've stopped us playing

It is a great defensive performance

 

[Hansern]

Clinton Morrison? Now thats got to be one of the worst pundits ever.

 

[Mystic]

Souness is spot on, it was a foul on Mane and should have been a penalty.

 

[Markeh]

The yellow card challenge from Benteke was as much of a foul as that challenge on Mane in there box

 

[KopRed]

Souness is spot on, it was a foul on Mane and should have been a penalty.

On 2nd look yes. Macarthur slid in, didn't get anywhere near the ball, and took Mane's standing leg.

 

[Markeh]

It's unwritten rules that differ for different parts of the pitch

I get your point but I didn't hear him mention 'defensive'.

Palace are at home and playing highly defensive, long ball football with little possession whatsoever.

They are defending well enough, but put 10 men behind the ball at home and you're likely to decrease your opponent scoring. There's nothing great about that.

 

[Portly]

For those watching the adverts on Sky Sports, the Liverpool team have started shaving their chest hair with Nivea products.

I suggest that this is at the root of the problem.

Yeah he didn't expand on it, but it has been a great performance this far

We'd be lauding our performance if we shut out Barca's attack while winning 1-0

I watched that with a girl in highschool that I was really into, and she sat on my lap the whole movie. Just as she was all vulnerable from the whole dead in a cave romance, and ready for some real disappointment, her dad came home early. It was the worst case of blue balls I've ever experienced. Because I didn't know what they were at that point, I became convinced I had testicular cancer for a day or so.

Decent book though.

I don't mind Mane cutting him because he doesn't seem to like taking on the fullback on the outside anyways - not on the left at least.

We've been trying, it's just the quality has been lacking.
