Salah out on the edge of box,.not arsed while the kid is in the box. Come on you can be leaving a small child. in there in a defensive position. Send him to run from edge. We didn't deserve it and an ankle gives them the goal. The second slot took off konate we went to bit.
Some serious stinkers there. Slot needs to look at his midfield options seriously. Jones is just not good. That was an awful.dispaly today after coming on. Taking gravenberch out of midfield killed us.
There simply wasn’t another minute to be played so that’s bollox, but we were ****ing awful so whatever. About time we didn’t get away with playing ****
Well, we have been riding our luck all season and another poor performance today. We really need to sort ourselves out and fast
Not sure what we have signed in Frimpong either, his 2 appearances this week have been an absolute joke
On the bright side I have a lovely fillet steak for tea tonight. Slot was to blame for his initial team who were overrun first half.
I presume slot assumed gravenberch could pass it about at cb but moving him meant he had nobody to pass to as salah was awol, jones was useless and Szoboszlai miles up the Park.
With Wirtz and Frimpong we have signed two players who looked brilliant in the German league, but can't hack the Prem at this stage. They may get up to speed or may just Havertz it
Palace benefitted from luck today - first goal came from a corner that should have been a goal kick and second came a minute after the whistle should have been blown. That said, we were so disjointed and didn't play like a team. Very early days but the new signings haven't impressed at all .... except the one who didn't play because his behaviour in the last game wasn't very impressive .....
Luck? They should have had 4 or 5. Then settled and didn't push it and we lived on risk and desperation there. Leaving a tiny child in the box in a defensive situation says it all. Surely as a senior pro you.dont stand in tje d cos your name is mo. Not they he could do much but at least he might compete. Salah was really really poor today. Really poor. Gakpo not starting killed us with wirtz playing rw or whatever he felt like. Another woeful show. Sticking Szoboszlai rb and taking off bradley was poor. OK Bradley jumped out of 3 or 4 tackles but he did at least work mitchell. It all felt like moving square pegs about trying to find something. Back to basics please. Ekitike starting (stupid ****) Salah off on 60 and 45 if he wont run knowing he is off. Gakpo lw. Szobo 10 Keep wirtz and frimpong on the bench for 30min spells along with isak until they prove their are worth more. They'll all prob benefit from playing against tired players. Palace deserved the win but they did back off and tired second half. We were there for the taking at 1-0 and they failed to get the winner then.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot to Sky Sports: "Very difficult first half. They did really well and deserved to be 1-0 up, we were lucky it was only 1-0. "Second half it was the opposite. It took a while before we scored and we did with a few minutes left. But from a second set piece they won the game. "If you want to compete you need a very positive balance with set pieces and even more in this league. It was one of our biggest strengths last season, now we have conceded two against Newcastle and two here. But this league is more and more and more about set pieces." On Crystal Palace: "Their game style fits really well to their players, They have a low block with fast players on the break and a big man in Mateta. We had a lot of problems in the first half. The rest of time we had possession but very hard to beat that low block." On the winning goal: "It is never ideal when you concede in extra time of extra time. But there was a sub so half a minute extra was fair. I have to check when they exactly scored but we have to defend the throw-in better. "We take learnings from all the games we have played and we can take even more from a game like this."
You can analyse and micro analyse the game but just on the goals that were scored and are the only ones that count, they got two strokes of luck. They were the better team and could have and should have scored more as should we, Wirtz's miss etc
