Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool match thread

[Team of the (20)80s]

Putting Chris Richards at RW seemed like a flawless plan

 

[Plaistow Eagle]

This is much much better. Apart rom Timber sleeping for there goal we are in this game and if we play like this we will be fine going forwards. I shows what a bit of experience and strength at the back does.

We’re currently bottom..!!

 

[PalazioVecchio]

do we all now concur that Henderson is streets ahead of Benitez ?

 

[Spindle]

No one nil because Timber let his man run and have a free header form five yards out. If we could defend set pieces they don’t score

So if they are given extra chances then it's our fault?

It wasn't a free kick, we should've been attacking, that's better defence.

Yes but considering how we all thought this game would play out it’s better. I was pointing that out or do you not think this is a better performance?

We kick the ball out for liverpool but they didn't also what was lerma to do come invisible when the ball kicked past him

f***ing Allison

Alright, message us when you're done

Same old corrupt bollox

Nope, I stopped looking at the league when Spurs were bottom. It's a happy way to live.

Just sitting here in the Main Stand. Taking everything in.

We certainly played better - but Sunderland winning adds increased pressure to get something from this game

 

[JHB]

In open play we made chances but we simply cannot defend set pieces. They scored form one and should have had another just before the break. Net result even though they’ve not played well they are winning and will almost certainly score again. We are bottom of the table.

This season seems to be cursed. Even when we finally put in a halfway decent performance, luck isn't on our side—shots hitting the woodwork, narrow offsides, worldie of the opponent's keeper. Looks like it doesn't matter who we play (Fulham apart) , how we play, results are always the same.

Few takeaways from this half.

1. We have been unlucky
2. Shocking decision to give them a freekick
3. Arguably we deserve to be winning
4.,Mingueza, Disasi and Wharton have all played very well.
5. COYP

Yes it’s a better performance but too late - where has this been all season.

But still can’t defend set pieces.

We’re the better team right now, but still have the predictable WTF moment.

This is our best Premier League 11 right now IMO.

I’d be ecstatic with a point and some momentum coming out of this game.

 

[Badger11]

Hate to say it but VAR was correct with ruling out Larsen's goal. Larsen was ruled offside by lino and VAR showed he was, it wasn't clear of who got the last touch between Kamada and the Scouser. So the officials did not make a clear an obvious error.

Even so it grates.

Well played Palace best 45 minutes this season.

Please do not concede in the first 5 minutes if the second half.

We’lll see - Sage got 45 mins to save his job.

It was a soft free kick but once it is given our job is to defend. If Timber just runs with him then he doesn’t score. It’s not difficult and I am sure the players would say the same. If you lose concentration because you are upset at a decision that is just unprofessional.

It’s not like the ref gave them a dodgy penalty where it is then out of our hands.

We're the better team, we've had the best chances, and were it not for Alisson and sh*t refereeing, we'd be going in level with our heads up. The defence looks less nervous, the midfield is finding its passes, and JSL is holding the ball up. We probably could have defended their goal better, but FFS if you're complaining after that performance, then you're just desperate for a moan.

As a side note, how long did VAR look at that studs up challenge on Mitchell? Was it one or two seconds before deciding that they couldn't consider sending off a Liverpool player?
