Match Day Thread Community Shield Crystal Palace v Liverpool

Good going forward
Poor at defending .and thats on whole team

Ekitike and Wirtz look to have an good understanding already

 

No Grav, no Endo, no shield in front of the back 4.

 

Salah getting pelters off tnt commentary team.

Midfield isnt good the forwards are doing it but theres zero control

Its.hardly rocket science when you find a failed winger and a 10 playing 8 and 6.

Macca.comes on for Jones and we control this.

 

Massive miss. Ekitike

Didn't look like he was every getting onside there or set.

Should be nodding that home and shurting off the minor bit of attention

 

And that could be the hat trick.

Blazed.

 

Thought Nunéz wasn’t playing….

 

This is where Isak comes into his own, he doesn’t miss many chances

 

And wirtz blazes one.

One way traffic so slot sticks two on.

Let's see if endo goes cb or cm.

We have utterly fades here.

 

So we haul off Ekitike and Jones.

So I presume we are changing shape to some form of 442 with szobo and wirtz up top like game one of preseason?

 

Endo cleaned put frimpong.

 

Palace has not been allowed to play their very physical game.

 

Think we may see a lot of teams copying the Palace tactic of aiming high balls at our FB's

oops 2-2

 

That’s been coming.

 

Gakpo playing for a foul in his own half and our lads are all asleep

 

One way traffic for 15-20 mins.
.very good first 15mins to the half but since then its literally been a procession to our goal.

 

First thing to do will be to haul salah off

He's a passenger.

 

amazed that wasn't a pen based on what was being given last season

 

Our defence is nothing to write home about. We need to do better.

 

Tierney on var.

Of course its a pen.

 

Sluggish is how I’d describe the second half. Midfield missing, forwards missing. We look completely disjointed.
