Match Thread: Liverpool v Crystal Palace

**Crimson Dynasty** · 15th August 2022, 10:05 PM

If we had finished our chances in the first frame, we would have put this game away by the half, regardless of any Zaha interventions.

It was our profligacy that cost us this game, not Nunez' sending off.
There's no guarantee that he would have even found the net for the remaining period had he still been on the field.

That wastefulness carried over to even after he was sent off with Mo and Trent wasting gilt-edged chances to pull out a win under adversity.

That's what cost us the game and is what the coaching staff really need to deal with in training above all else.

I believe it's all about lowering expectations

Transfer window has sucked, not for the first time

Maybe. There's 2 sides. The side that says FSG haven't put enough up to strengthen the squad and the side that says Klopp just won't compromise with his targets.
Not sure what I'd choose.

Gutsy performance in light of going down to 10. They all deserve credit for that.

But - 24 shots - only 4 on target.

Many of us expected dropped points when we saw the team sheet.

Nunez had two guilt edged chances today and fluffed his lines both times, Mo missed a hat trick of takeable chances .. but there’s nothing new in that.

24 attempts and only 4 on target is absolute garbage.

We didn't really have a clear chance bar Nunez hitting the post. Elliott was more a half chance and Mo's header would have been some goal if he'd scored. The one he put wide was another that was difficult to put away.

Neither of them connected.

It's not right, of course, but let's not act like that Oscar-Worthy performance and Olympic gold-medal winning dive by their defender merits all this hand-wringing.

The lad will learn a harsh lesson from this and hopefully get better when he returns.

In the meantime, I suggest he uses his time off with the ban to work on target-practice with his shots.

Shocking stat.
Makes you wonder what they do in training, we've been putting up stats like that for donkeys.
