Crystal Palace (a) build up

[spud_gun]

Still looks like a good player. He'll never get rid of the clumsiness.

Yeah he looks boss. Him and big Virgil would have been a centre back pairing and a half

[RedReet]

I was a big fan of Sahko when here and I certainly wouldn't identify him as a weak link, but he was lucky to get away with a pen decision at the weekend and can be guilty of clumsy challenges, so I wouldn't be surprised if we were awarded a pen in this match (seeing as it's not at Anfield).

[Fredo]

Gomez looks good at CB.

Tell this to labour red.

Definite penalty. Tough game though. I wish we were a tad bit quicker with our passing, but maybe we're cautiously aware or their ability on the break.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Surely Sakho can't have any complaints? 2/3 attempts at the ball an his only contact was with Salah, its not huge contact but it definitely effects Salah's dribble.

We needed that though, game was getting really sloppy. These will cause teams problems, difficult to break down and always dangerous.

Keita was the best player in that half again. Sublime, and finally a player who threads through balls from deep.

[BobTheCharmer]

We look confident on the ball. Just guilty of over playing at times. Salah and Bobby have looked off the pace a little few poor touches when you least want it. But he did enough to earn the pen at the end. Just need to get a second now early doors.

There is an air of class or superiority about us away from home that I haven't seen in a long time. Bodes well.

Shame Firmino and Salah aren't at their paces yet, Mane and Keita looks right on it, when they're all firing, it'll be magic!

[Fuzzy]

I'm really liking Gomez at CB right now, if he keeps this up he deserves to hold his spot when Lovren returns. This game is missing Firmino and Salah of last season, hope they step it up in the second half and we blow these cunts away.

Yep, a continuation from last week really.

Still, the season is young. Very young and the signs are good.

Milner has never been on the losing side when he scores?

no. didnt fowler also have this hex on other teams.

[DeanoUK]

Clearly I’m biased, but I don’t get the controversy over the pen - looked clear to me live and every replay

[spud_gun]

Milner i can sorta understand given he's only scored 50 odd goals during his career.

Fowler on the other hand would be astounding.

[BobTheCharmer]

Anyone think Salah may not still be 100% after getting rushed back for world cup? Probably too early to tell.

Just a thought. Although he's still a danger so I'm not getting at him before anyone pipes up with that one.

Yeah possibly, nowhere near as sharp as he was last season, but early days.
