For FUCK SAKE will someone have a FUCKING SHOT. 

[niallers]

This has been a hard watch.

This is a cup final for Palace.  They didn't put half as much effort into their last few games.  Surprise surprise, Hodgson's bitterness never fades.  

Ably assisted by the ref who is letting Palace be too physical.  It's like they've all had a morning on the Red Bull. 

Will Hughes looks demented.

He was his usual pointless self in their recent losses to Bournemouth, Everton, Luton. 

Grim club. 

It’s always been the same for big clubs though. I don’t see that as an excuse at all.

It is an even tougher wank

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

We’ve looked clueless in the final third. Plus, Palace’s tactics have made it very difficult to play through them centrally. 
 

With that in mind, it seems counterproductive to play TAA in an already congested area when his crossing from wide could be a different option to unlock the Palace parked bus. 
 

Endo is being made to look like a crab, always going sideways. But look at how many times he gets it, looks forward and there’s absolutely no movement, so he has to go sideways or backwards. 
 

We should get both full backs hugging touchlines. And sacrifice a central midfielder by moving to a double pivot in midfield and move one into a number 10 position. Maybe take Endo off for Elliott? 
 

A scrappy performance in the final third particularly. And some shaky defending. 
 

Improvement needed. Increased tempo too. 

[Leyton388]

Chance to go top with a win and we put in a performance like that. 

[Anubis]

See - get down the sides and it actually created a chance.

[Creator Supreme]

We're just not a very good side. Most of our wins seem to come from luck or unbelievable bits of skill.

[Em City]

Stay wide Trent ffs

That's because he's strong and tough and only the best is good enough. 

[Elite]

I'd definitely get Harvey on for Gravenberch at halftime.

[Anubis]

Started well and tailed off quickly.

[johnsusername]

Fuck me, we are a boring football team.

[LFC 6 Times]

Woeful half, as bad as anything we’ve played this season. Only positive it’s stop level.

 

Gakpo, Jones and Elliot need to be brought on.

Been one of our best midfielders from the start of pre-season onwards.

Largely effective as a sub though. I'm not his biggest fan and I think he has stamina problems too.

[3 Stacks]

Dunno, I mean, wasn't it so obvious we're always a better team with Nunez and a "proper 6"? Wasn't that the thing?

[gkmacca]

It’s a cowardly way to play when you’re at home. Drives me crazy how it keeps being depicted as impressive. Hughes is basically just shoving every opponent over, with impunity.

[Tenfolder]

Wonder if Will Hughes will eventually get a card on his 8th or 9th foul? Anyway glad it's half time, Klopp needs to get in to this lot.

[Josef Svejk]

I honestly don't recall a game this season in which I'd say we played well.

[Reckoner]

I saw better football in the last days of Houllier.

No. We’re playing a boring team.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Zero ideas in how to break them down. Almost embarrassing that we're seemingly so easy to defend against.

[Captain Willard]

Have we ever had a player before with a surname beginning with a Q ? 

[magicrat]

Other than Ali's fantastic save that was 100% dogshit 

[liverpoolsno9]

Need changes here at HT coz that was shite. Gomez on, move Trent inside. Gravenberch off for Harvey or Jones. Seem to have to go a goal down before we show any urgency
