Crystal Palace (H) 24/6/20

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

There should not be any nerves, players or fans. Get it won we are the best team in the world. 

[JohnnyH]

Looking for 37 for the Kop?

[LFC 6 Times]

Allison, Trent, Gomez, Virgil, Robbo, Hendo, Wij, Keita, Salah, Firmino, mane. They’re a good side palace and the lack of fans is a leveller. But I fully expect us to be at a completely different level to last night. A 2-0 win for us.

Fabinho must play in this game.

[BeefStroganoff]

A squeaky bum win i reckon. one to zero

[Bruce Spanner]

Hodgson will have the advantage here being, as he is, experienced with a silent Anfield.

[Creator Supreme]

L 1 Firmino

Croydon Owls 4 Zaha, Ayew, Milovoijevic (pen obvs), Benteke (because the cunt only knows how to score against us)

Who is The Judge when they're at home?

We need to really go for it. Everton game and a fair few games before lockdown we've looked void of ideas in the final third. Take it wide pass it short, pass it back wide pass it short play it back to defence then for Trent to whip a ball straight to their keeper, regroup , repeat. 

 

Sometimes I feel we need a player who can just whack a shot from distance give them something to think about. Personally I think we need a real alternative to Bobby. Someone quick through the middle who can hit the target more often than not. Bobby is my favourite player but fuck me trying to hit the goal with anything other than a cheeky dink seems impossible for him. Why can't so many of our player kick a ball hard and on target. There's a real sense of struggling like mad to get a chance and then scuffing the shit out of it.

 

Maybe we just need Keita to sit forward a bit more apply pressure further up than just rotating the ball across the middle. Who knows aside from that were dominant everywhere else.

Bobby is my favourite player too but he pissed me off on Sunday when he didn't play Keita in.

Can give you 1,3,5,7,9 etc

Think it will be a tight game. A draw isn't the worst result as it gets us a bit closer to the title but we really should be winning this.

[Pete]

Twat them into next week.

My thoughts exactly. I was actually, 'like what?' the other day reading a few posts from people saying they are now nervous about the title! Just after we played one game and that was the derby! Another claimed we were now only 17 points ahead of city after their win last night! Cant they do maths?

 

Incredible when you think about it.

[Jairzinho]

Our home record has been a bit patchy this season though.

Its not as if winning every game is convincing form!

[Bjornebye]

Get these put to bed. Calm any nerves before they creep in. I can't see us winning at City given how they are playing and how we dd on Sunday so lets get this one boxed off knowing we only need a win to seal it. Give the owl a headache as well.

Jurgen says both Mo and Robbo trained as normal yesterday and will take part in training today. Milner and Matip are both definitely out of the Palace game.

[Vector Sigma]

Allison

TAA

Gomez

VVD

Robertson

Henderson

Wijnaldum

Keita

Salah

Firmino

Mane

 

Only question mark is whether Fabinho should play but IMO we need some guile, therefore it's Keita for me. Having Robertson back is essential to our balance too.

Fabinho will be vital to stop their counters with Zaha and Townsend who love to exploit the spaces left by our full backs. Palace are the team who've caused us the most problems under klopp at Anfield, and we've yet to keep a clean sheet under klopp at home against them.

You're probably right, Klopp will probably err on the side of caution, but I'd like to see us on the front foot.

 

Let Palace worry about negating our attacking threat and have faith that the best CB pairing in the league, and 2 excellent midfielders, can mop up any counter attacks.

They are always hard work for us at Anfield.

 

They have won on 3 of their last 5 visits

 

We have not beaten them by more than a single goal at Anfield since 2013 

 

Last 5 games at Anfield they have scored a total of 10 goals, can't think of another team in league who could boast that record.

 

All that said we have won last 2 - lets make it 3 tomorrow, please Redmen.

That's not true.   We did beat them one nil under klopp.  We've won the lasr six on the troty against them.   

 

The last time they got a result against us was over three years ago.  We had mignolet, lovren, lucas, can and Origi starting.    With a bench consisting of top talent like Brewster, Woodburn and Moreno. 

 

The fawning over this apparent bogey side is more than a bit daft.
