Palace (a) match thread

[fidget]

Gerrard and Johnson are on the same wavelength - pity it's a **** one

[cream]

Absolute ****e.

[danperkins]

Lallana is the only one trying to make things happen going forward. Sterling & Coutinho have been ****e all season. The fact that we have to have Allen deep baby-sitting Gerrard means we are not getting numbers up to support the attackers.

It really is the same unbalanced dross we've been serving up all season. Horrible to watch.

[Slinky Skills]

We're ****ing ****, bored of watching us.

Slow as **** at the back, ponderous throughout.

Crap going forwards. Coutinho is the only player I know that does stepovers when he has no opposition player near him.

WTF is Mignolet doing, time wasting and slowing the game down. We're already slow as **** anyway.

Gerrard is **** and needs to be dropped as does Johnson the fat calved cunt.

[Rigadon]

I think we have shown a lot more purpose in our movement. There has been the odd individual mistake, but this is not a team brimming with confidence at the moment. We were never going to blitz Crystal Palace; It's more about points than performance.

Lallana makes a big difference in our play.

[Roboklopp]

Slightly less turd than before the break. Hardly amazing, but an improvement.

[badpiggy]

I don't understand Gerrard's role for us. He just looks like a man playing football.

[danperkins]

Would also like to see Lucas and Can - for Gerrard and Sterling?

Personally i'd love to see Lucas on for Stevie. get a dedicated DM in there so Allen or whomever is sitting beside him can actually break forward and play box to box. IMO Can & Lucas is our most balanced options for the way of play. Either one of Sterling & Coutinho (arguably our most talented players) could go off... they have been terrible all season.

The deterioration in this LFC side is frightening. Feel sorry for Lallana out there, been on his own so far.

[Jaymo]

When we have the ball on the left or in the middle, Manquillo is making some cracking runs down the right and is in acre's of space. But we're not giving it to him. Instead we go backwards and sideways.

[Tribute]

No knee jerk bollocks on Sterling - just observation that he's been terrible for months, but because Balotelli and the defence has been much worse, no-one dare talk about him. He simply isn't the player he was last season and that has **** all to do with his age...

agree. Confidence is very low - a win would be massive.

[ronanm]

Usual fare. Pity it's not pay related performance.

Conservative. Too scared of giving the ball away.

[danperkins]

Aw man we look devoid of any confidence. A win would be huge & another loss will be devastating. Rodgers is walking a tightrope with his team selection & setup.

[kop-al-74]

bolasie will skip through our defence with those gangly legs and gayle is sure to score for them.

is rodgers renting a house off johnson

All your fault they scored
