Liverpool vs Palace Match Thread

[Aidan O' Neill]

The second one.

Change the fucking record.

 

[Insignificance]

Robertson feels like a new signing

 

[doctor_mac]

I've counted 3, but agree passing has been poor. And, he has not had any defending to do yet. Too early to get too excited.

I had some streaming problems so may have missed some. Dat cross for Matip's bewildering miss was a doozie though.

 

[Modo]

Says something about Palace's approach that so many of our players have made negligible contributions and we've still had all the play.

Need a bit of creativity to open them up and get some clear chances.

They only need one decent set piece and they'll win.

 

[Shadey]

The bogey side is keeping us at bay so far.

 

[dmishra]

Robertson's crossing has been delicious. Milner and Matip have been decent.

Firmino, Sturridge and Mane have been largely meh.

The two-man sitting midfield offers better protection for midfield, but they both need to show more ambition in their passing.

 

[FoxForceFive]

They're shite. We've had so much possession we should have scored at least once but we've been a bit poor with it.

Good job they're so shite!

Robertson has done very well. Firmino has been poor & Henderson has been off the mark too, some of their passing has been utterly woeful.

 

[Modo]

Hate to say it but Gomez at Rb is not giving us much going forward. I kinda miss TAA. Especially when I saw that set piece hit the wall.

 

[Insignificance]

It is good to see De Boer refusing to just put all players in their own box... But somehow I don't think that strategy will win him many friends down there.

 

[gene hughes]

This is kind of annoying for some reason. I don't think they're trying hard enough.

 

[Shay_K]

I like Gini"s passing through midfield, Firmino looks unhappy out of position.

 

[mom]

They'll gas second half and we will grab an equaliser

 

[Dave G]

I'd settle for scoring in the 85th minute to only allow them 5 mins worth of chucking the ball forward at us.

 

[Insignificance]

I like Gini"s passing through midfield, Firmino looks unhappy out of position.

Not sure what you mean unhappy. But he keep his work rate high and has been involved going forward. And after his shit, he was the one following the Palace player on the counter forcing hun to shoot early. I think he solved the role ok .

 

[KopRed]

If Sturridge is going to play so deep away from goal, then he might as well play on the wings and let Firmino play in his favoured position because Firmino has proven time and again he is hopeless out wide.

 

[darkstarexodus]

They only need one decent set piece and they'll win.

This is always the concern. We are controlling without penetrating and we are always vulnerable.

 

[Mystic]

First half average positions, interesting.

 

[Halmeister]

Not watching. Sounds a bit shit.

 

[darkstarexodus]

If Sturridge is going to play so deep away from goal, then he might as well play on the wings and let Firmino play in his favoured position because Firmino has proven time and again he is hopeless out wide.

Totally this. We have three good attackers up front but aren't using them to their strengths. Mane has been very subdued too because Palace aren't giving him space in behind to run into.

 

[darkstarexodus]

First half average positions, interesting.

No width really. Surprised to see Sturridge's position that high.

 

[Modo]

Henderson has been really good today

 

[Shay_K]

Hendo Milly and Gini look good in the centre of the park.

 

[Cerberus]

Henderson has been really good today

Has someone hacked Modo's account?

 

[Modo]

Let Milner or Wijnaldum take it

 

[darkstarexodus]

Another good chance goes astray without testing Hennessey

 

[Red Mullet]

Oh Trent where art thou

 

[Modo]

Oh Trent where art thou

In the stands resting you know cause he's fucking 18 years old...needs to rest them old bones

 

[rurikbird]

First half average positions, interesting.

Milner and Wijnaldum switched sides after the first 15 mins or so, that's why it shows 7 and 5 almost in the same place. I'm pretty sure it's a 3-man midfield, @dmishra , it's just Milner is more adventurous than Wini.

 

[Kay Age El]

What a finish by Gini.. soooo close

 

[darkstarexodus]

Good strike that by Hendo, despite scuffing it a bit. Hennessey did well to spot it and get down.
