[PL] Crystal Palace (A): Post Match

[Fosterbloke]

The Sky Q music sounds like it was sung by Richard Cheese.

Very, very, very pleased with the win. I agree that we played much better when down to 10 men. I'm pleased for Benteke too because it hasn't really worked out for him yet. I just hope this will give him some confidence.

I've got to add that I would seriously consider dropping Henderson for Allen. Listen, I know he's struggled this season with his injuries but there's no excuse for constantly looking to play the ball backwards and sideways. The top class players know where they're going to play the ball before they even receive it. I think Henderson is limited and should only be a squad player next season.

His awareness is awful

Big win this:

No code has to be inserted here.

Not really, Man Utd will win and its as you were.

[redmike65]

First time we've come back from behind to win?

No that's the 6th game in all comps this season I think.

[RedReet]

Ah! Schoolboy error. Flanagan not in the Europa squad?

I doubt he'd have been fit enough to handle 3 games in 8 days anyway.

[RichC]

Delaney's knee catches Benteke's trailing foot so there is contact. Delaney shouldn't have gone to ground to create a situation where a decision had to be made. I'd be raging if it was given against us, but players are told to go down when they feel contact. I'll take it.

We seemed to take heart from our performance against Manchester City but Crystal Palace did well to absorb that early pressure. Our midfield is still to samey and the quicker Moreno is converted to a left winger, the better for my heart. Still positives to take from that, no more so than the character showed when going down to ten men.

**** you very much, Pardew.

I wonder if we saw a bit of the future today with Phil playing in midfield with Bobby F and someone else (Reus) playing behind a striker.

[Maxiedge]

No that's the 6th game in all comps this season I think.

In the league, not including Norwich...they don't count

Oh yeah, Chelsea away

[Rigadon]

I doubt he'd have been fit enough to handle 3 games in 8 days anyway.

Shame. He's done very well since returning from injury.

[RedReet]

First time we've come back from behind to win?

With 10 men it's the first time in the PL for us.

**** stat from LFC TV.

[RedAndWhite]

It was a massive win

First time we've come back from behind to win?

No that's the 6th game in all comps this season I think.

Chelsea was the first under Klopp was it not?

His awareness is awful

[redmike65]

Been saying for a while that Coutinho should be the No 8, certainly preferable to him on the left flank but I'd be playing two strikers for what I have in mind.

[Yozza]

'We've been robbed'

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew: "I feel like we've been robbed a little bit but again maybe we shot ourselves in the foot a bit. When we went down to 10 men maybe we should have pushed on a little bit."

[RichC]

Klopp seems to favour one up top and has been talking a fair bit about needing wingers, seems the logical move as he's got real vision and our midfield is very one dimensional at the moment

[Chris]

Hendo is really not offering anything to this team, him being captain is not ideal.

Very, very, very pleased with the win. I agree that we played much better when down to 10 men. I'm pleased for Benteke too because it hasn't really worked out for him yet. I just hope this will give him some confidence.

I've got to add that I would seriously consider dropping Henderson for Allen. Listen, I know he's struggled this season with his injuries but there's no excuse for constantly looking to play the ball backwards and sideways. It frustrates the hell out of me. The top class players know where they're going to play the ball before they even receive it. I think Henderson is limited and should only be a squad player next season.

Agreed, he's doing my head in at the moment, I know he's still meant to be carrying an injury but little things are annoying like not being able to turn and get going all in one move, it's more like touch, turn, look, pass, so slow. And the chipped balls when Firmino and that are begging for it to feet are annoying. I think Klopp will sign a CM in the summer and it'll be to partner Can not Hendo.
