Liverpool v Palace (H) PL

[Slinky Skills]

Diaz is getting swarmed every time he's on the ball.

Ground as per usual like a library

[Charly]

Have to say that's classic us. Teams have worked out our press - keep just about everyone behind the ball, defend super tight and leather it up for a pacey forward. Whether or not they can keep it up all game is a different thing but we need a different midfield to unlock these kind of teams. Because they're all going to set up this way (apart from Utd hopefully, because they won't).

I agree 100%. We have a purely functional midfield. We need someonw other then Trent who can open up other teams. If Trent plays poorly we struggle to create

[Tribute]

No end product, rusty. Great at keeping possession first 30mins now we go behind again, we look rattled.

[Venton]

I still think we'll beat this lot, but overall teams have worked out how we play. Our midfield is all about passing and tackling, none of them are good at beating a man (let's see how Elliott does). Our best defenders have read their own press and the rest are injured too often. Klopp has his work cut out here.

Diaz hasn’t been good

Might be worth considering Carvalho at half time, if only for a message to him and the team.

To a point but we’ve had chances and we’ve missed….. teams can’t “expect” that. Phillips didn’t cover himself in glory which doesn’t help either - I think one of the other 3 would have done better

Phillips and Milner starting games in week 2 is a sorry state of affairs

[Charly]

Id ask why Nat is marking Saha...? Nat is ****ing awesome... but not the fastest.

Yes, interesting that he's been moving inside a lot rather than on the overlap. I wonder if Klopp is repositioning him?

[Kenneth]

Diaz has been very poor

I’m afraid he looks like a player with pretty much zero end product. A Colombian Pennant (okay, not quite like that but sort of).

None of our chances were great, they've had the two best ones by miles. I agree about Philips but this isn't just today.

I'm going to do a you here and be controversial - I think him and Tsimikas would work out better.

[Tribute]

Salah has given the ball away more than anyone this half… wasteful.

[Rich]

Palace letting Nat have the ball as long as he wants. He can’t use it and slows play down to a crawl.
