Palace match thread

It was more the fact they had one less defender.

Yeah both he and Henderson have started the season playing in a manner that would surprise nobody if they were hooked, but that lack of quality and depth in the centre gives us little choice.

Personally I would drop Firmino back into the AM/support striker role he played in at Hoffenheim and drop one from Henderson/Wijnaldum and stick a striker up front ahead of Mane/Firmino/Salah. We saw today when we dropped Firmino back and put a striker ahead of the three attacking players that we looked a lot more threatening. Might not work against the best in the league but against the bus parkers and supposed weaker teams an extra attacker beats having an extra passenger in the centre.

can we just sign Dann and stop all this fannying around.

yeah ok but I don't think they did

Do we only do post match threads if we lose?

Anyway, not a great performance, but the points at this stage are what counts. Get the job done against Hoffenheim, a result against Arsenal, then we'll be in a good position going into the International break and should have the new signings in by the time it's over. Hopefully Coutinho will still be here and over his back problem (wee ****er better not play for Brazil).

Excellent performance from Robertson. On another day, he'd have had a hat-trick of assists and a goal.

What a player Mane is. Him and Salah can easily reach 20 goals this season for us.

The look of a man that should be certified more like it.

I saw Klopp yelling out Dom , Dom as he wanted to applaud his effort & then that look he's Gold isn't he.
