Didn´t manage to comment on the CP game until now.
Had to deal with my disappointment by the result...
To my mind it was a classical draw, unfortunately decided by Mignolets mistake.
I wouldn´t like to blame him too much though for it´s his first one under Jürgen Klopp.
He might not be a world class keeper, but his performances were at least solid during the past weeks.
Nevertheless the management will look for other options soon I guess (maybe in Germany...?).
The LFC performance wasn´t as bad as many board members here have been jugding.
Again they needed about 15 minutes to really take part in the game.
After that the lads fighted themselves into the game, won more and more duels and achieved control of the opponent.
And they finally scored the well deserved equalizer end of first half, again by the blossoming Coutinho.
There weren´t as many chances as in the games before, but the speed was high and the will was there.
However, there was a lack in pass accuracy and after 60 to 70 minutes the power diminished, probably owing to the long road trip.
Chrystal Palace didn´t get many great chances though, except for the winning goal...
Really bitter the knee injury of this extremely strong Sakho, get well soon, please!
So how can we evaluate this game and this result?
I think one shouldn´t jugde from the mere result but rather from the development since JK took over.
The team defintively plays with more confidence, recovers easier from a deficit, shows some new tactical elements, creates more chances and shows more variability.
Thus I´m really optimistic about the upcoming games because the lads won´t lose their way under this manager.
And if some players start doubting JK will put them immediately back on track.
So let´s go to Sh..y and blast them away!
