      Under the lights at Selhurst Park against a Palace side desperate for a good result right after we've had our confidence shattered by Madrid.

      Not looking forward to this.

      they will be allover us like a rash its probably the worst place to go to after last night.  Cut out the mistakes and bad passes and we have the quality but got to stop making fundamentally basic errors.

      Could end up any score between 0-0 and 5-5.
      0-0 being most unlikely.

      I think we need to keep the front three as they are. Nunez is starting to find his feet and salah is regularly scoring again. Jota and Bobby need to be eased in.

      Defence is a shambles so doesn’t matter who you pick really.
      Gomez makes too many unforced errors.
      Matip looks tired.
      VVD is playing like every game is a testimonial.

      Midfield I would just play the younger lads.
      Bajcetic jones Elliot.

      Henderson and Fabinho can’t keep any intensity for more than a half and ox and keita limp off every time the ball goes near them. Thiago is not the player we need right now.

      6 games in 18 days beginning Saturday. will need some rotation.

      James Milner is a must for this.

      Yeah. Although I would like to see a more youthful midfield going forward for the rest of the season.
      The senior players are playing like they have had 18 games in 6 days.

      Do you really think it's going to matter?

      Honestly...this is the exact opposite of a couple of years ago...then I didn't think it would matter who we put out there...we'd always win...now it doesn't matter who we put out there...I think we'll struggle.

      Even though Klopp has given up on Keita and who could blame him, ffs play him for 45 mins at least then bring on Hendo or Fabinho.
      When Keita plays we at least have a semi functioning midfield.

      The idea that Klopp is going to make some dramatic drastic changes is wrong. The players have to stand up to their responsibilities and it has to obviously start at Palace.

      We have 2 home games after that, Wolves and United. So yes the Real game was a disaster but the club, players and manager have to get a grip and do what they are handsomely paid to do...win football games.

      Haven't been to Selhurst Park in a while, think last time was fa or league cup I can't recall but we got beat 2-1 under Rafa, Stevie scored and everyone else looked sh*te. Not an easy place to go. I suppose at least now we have all our eggs in once basket it's sh*t or bust, no excuses, go for it.

      Not the easiest place in the league to go to and especially given the result last night.

      I'm at a bit of a loss of what we should do especially in midfield.

      I still think we've major issues there both in terms of form and formation/tactics.

      Maybe a sold 2 with one in front is the way forward as many of us have looked for this season?

      Yes, the freshness of the team will be one of the factors that will determine how well they perform on a given night.

      What worries me is the fallout from that Madrid game. As soon as Madrid equalised, the players shoulders dropped and the will to fight disappeared.

      I really worry about the confidence and the mental state of the players. So far, we thrived because of the mentality (“mentality monsters”). So what applies positively can also have a negative spin to it.

      We can’t even look to the squad to step up. Jürgen seems to have just given up on Keita, Ox et al. Why can’t we just give Nat his chance? After all, we played in the champions league because of his heroics the year before?

      No expansive football. Just solid defending and a series of 5 to 6 1-0 wins is the need of the hour.

      NB: Team no longer available

      Our midfield is awful. I would think twice to play Milner instead of Henderson. Can't be as bad.

      We need to be lifted. Hopefully, Gakpo and Darwin continue to lift us.

      YNWA, come on Reds.

      I’d be happy with that. What a shame we can’t mix keita with Milners strength.
