Match Thread: Liverpool v Crystal Palace

[Kev0909]

We'd lose a lot of money on him if he was sold. He's damaged goods in a way. His reputation now preceeds him, I understand fans who want to highlight his positive elements ( which haven't been there for a few weeks now) but the top and bottom is you can't carry a forward who's costing the team and that's what he's done this last few weeks.
His profligacy has cost us massively.
He wasn't the only one squandering today but he's probably had the easiest chance to put away.

He's became a bit of a "meme"

Id like to see nunez under a different manager before I let him go. See if he is played differently or managed differently. But we do need a finisher up top. Jota can't stay fit, unfortunatly

I think this squad could benefit from a more technical manager & coaching staff to get the best out of the players we have

I don’t think they’ve done enough work with Nunez I think they’ve taken Diaz a long way backwards from when he was playing on the shoulder, moving Mac to RCM when he’s been best and all the other players are used to him being at No6 or LCM, what the FUCK is Szobo doing anywhere near our fucking corners & free kicks? No-one thinks he’s going to put one on a sixpence for a player not the players & not the fans it is VITAL ppl believe we have every chance of scoring & with Szobo on them NO-ONE fucking believes it & thinks we will

I bet once the pressure is off and we have no chance we start banging em in, including Nunez.

100% we aren’t good enough. If you’d have asked most fans at the start of the season whether a trophy and top 4 would be a success then most would probably say yes.

But I’ve got to say how poor our forwards have been this 2nd half of the season. We’ve got to have the worst shot conversion ratio in the top half of the league. Revamp needed next season

All well and good saying that but when you are in a position to win it with 7 games left it doesn’t matter about previous ambitions , mentally fragile squad I think , the pressure came on and they folded , time for a whole change of playing style and players

[Nineteenx]

I think a new manager could do much better with Nunez & Diaz than Klopp & his coaching staff have & get more from Robbo and Trent using them so the team benefits from their very best abilities

[BOBPAISLEYFAN]

Its very hard to understand how Nunez, Jota, Salah and Jones missed those gilt edged chances, If Palace had those chances against us, you can guarantee they would have scored probably 3 of the 4 chances.

Shocking misses tbf, but tbh defensively we are so easy to score against, opposing teams can just stroll past every defender and challenge, and just end up in our box unchallenged…we have been completely bullied all over the pitch today, again.

On good chances created, we could have won 4-2, but hey ho it is what its… we have just been found wanting..when it matters most…

Have a conversation with Klopp and call it the Mickey mouse cup. He'd probably flatten you or at the very least tell you to fuck off as support another team.

I would have a conversation with Klopp but when I met him last month. He looked tired & body language suggest he doesn’t want a conversation. The vibe I got was Take your Photo there’s your autograph not a problem now fuck off. Out of all the trophies we were going for, we only won the least desirable one. Do you think winning a handful of games in a cup competition a great season. No one should be happy with this.

Yep. I wouldn't be surprised.

[trueandred]

They really looked cooked all over the pitch. I'd definitely play the young strikers in the next few games as they can't do any worse. I think Aston Villa could sneak a point today, I'd rather City win it that those.

Its all about learning and we havent in years.. next season. dont press a team that plays with a flat back 5. with wide players pushed deep to protect their full backs. its not easy to break down. Just sit and have runners when they come out.
they defend in numbers and then spring when we over commit. just dont over commit.
