Liverpool 4-3 Crystal Palace: In game and Post Match discussion

Hendo has been fine, take of you bias blinkers

He's been ok as a DM, but he needs more inventive clever forward passes

Let's go for the win in the second. Throw the sink. Get hendo out. Keita in the middle and put Shaq on at left for Keita.

Not a fan of Henderson, but if anyone should be taken off it is Keita,.. agree with Shaqiri coming on. Need something different

Nothing happening down our Left hand side. Robbo is a great overlapping full back but he is not a winger.Nobody there for him to work with. All bogged down over on the congested right.

Mane has done most of his damage from the Left but he is over in the crowded right hand side.

We are losing because Clint isn't OP.
Its your fault Clint 🙄

I'm too F***ing nervous. Just hope we win.

Keita looks like a 5th wheel on the car. He'd need to play deeper to get the ball and run downfield to create something like Ox did. But where he plays right now he's useless and looks useless.

Don't think we have been too bad, but we are sorely missing that playmaker. Shaqiri on 2nd half for Keita.

Totally agree. we have played well, just lacking a little something

Mane to the left where he should be and Keita through the middle because he's the one player we have who can run with the ball through that midfield. Free's up Robbo to make runs on the left and adds some sort of balance to this side.

Been a mess so far. Like Moss' performance.

I'm too f**king nervous. Just hope we win.

I'm nervous as hell.

Just someone explain why we have altered our team and put in Keita for Shaq. Made no sense!

Play the same 4-2-3-1 with Bobby behind Mo and do it from the second half!!

Yup

Bizzare how Milner's fault when it was matip's shocking positioning that played Zaha onside.

How is bizarre when Milner got skinned and allowed the pass across the box, if Moreno did it we would be saying why didn't he block it, why wasn't he there.

I understand people want to defend Klopps Clyne decision but to do that by excusing Milner for that goal is silly.

Think Keita needs to come off unfortunately and Shaqiri on.

We are really not playing that badly. One moment when they broke well and Milner was left 1 on 1 with Zaha. People are overreacting cos we are behind.

They are defending deep and are difficult to break down. But we've created 3 good chances ( and maybe should have had a pen). Virgil scores that header, which he should have, and we are all a lot happier.

We need to stay patient and not panic. Firmino is the player who is least effective so far, along with Mane. Keita was good for the first 20 mins, but is now trying to force it a bit, Keep patient, move the ball quickly and we will still create chances.

Main worry for me is them nicking another on the counter. We shouldn't over-commit at the start of the 2nd half. Take more risks as the half goes on if we need to.

The frustrated look Robertson gave Keita when he completely cocked up Robertson's attempt on the left side said everything about that half. Definitely struggling for confidence is Keita and seriously struggling to find a purpose in this team.

Needs a goal or two to settle him

Shaq for keita.
Still plenty of time.
CMON BOYS!!!

We need to target Sakho, I can’t see us getting much joy past Wan-Bissaka (what a player he is looking by the way), Sakho has shown glimpses in the first half that he’s a disaster waiting to happen. He’s the weak link in their defence.

I’m sure he’ll come good eventually but Keita looks well off the pace and hasn’t impressed me at all in the spells he had the season.

What really bothers me is that Keita looked quite well at the beginning of the season and regressed since then. That's a bad sign. But he's still young and you can see the potential, but boy do we need Ox back.

Because he’d have been offside if Matip wasn’t a yard behind everyone else!!!!

One things for sure...if we don't unlock these packed defences at Anfield then the problems will stack up. Klopp should be a bit more proactive during the match...get more bodies down the left.

Jon Moss has now got to that stage where he is so fu**ed by running around that he's having to stop the game for periods of 30 seconds.

Word of advice Mr Moss - go on a diet and f**king retire you sad pathetic f**k.

Really?  What's the point in this comment?  He's done a fine job thus far.  If anything, Mo is lucky not to have a yellow for his blatant dive.... 

It was stupid for so many players to go press at that bnb one time.  Hendo in particular abandoned his post and left us (and Milner) exposed. 

That said, we've still got it all to play for in the 2nd half.  Time to ratchet things up a notch. 

You cannot let Zaha have so much space and expect to get away with it.

That said, about 20 seconds earlier, Townsend arms the ball and for me, that's a penalty.

How long before their keeper gets a yellow for time wasting?

Need to go for it. Have to go for it. Should be interesting.

Early equaliser please reds.

Because he’d have been offside if Matip wasn’t a yard behind everyone else!!!!

That's very harsh imo. Zaha just kicked the ball and outrunned Milner then squared in.

Yeah man, I was fuming when we over did the press. Literally no need for that. Left us wanting in the middle.
