Match Thread EFL Cup Palace (H) - Wed 19:45 29th October

[Farkmaster]

Remember when Klopp would actively try to lose these games but couldn't because we were too good?

 

[keniget]

So Crystal Palace can sub players off at the 60th min away at Anfield because they're cruising.

Embarrassing stuff.

Dunno if we were too good. I mean Everton were better than us in that game that Jones scored in.
It's about motivating the players.

 

[keniget]

The midfield is just totally vacant. There is *so* much space. Where are they?

 

[Modo]

Oh shit...Nallo

 

[SteveQ78]

Lucky... hope he is

Endo is shite, Macca unfit and nyoni is a kid.

Good thing the bench is strong

Yeah, they were too motivated to win when we weren't really trying to via team selection. That's too good.

 

[Donavan Ried]

The thing that always use to bug me With Darwin Nunez was that the great runs that he would make and how rarely he would have the ball played to him... I see the same thing with Chiesa

 

[mark1975]

Surprised Slot didn't take the opportunity there to haul off Chiesa for some 5yr old from Solihull.

 

[Fabio]

So, after the first goal our confidence just evaporated.
Slot destroying first team AND youth team confidence is impressive

 

[Farkmaster]

Surprised didn't take the opportunity there to haul off Chiesa for some 5yr old from Solihull.

Then he might have cause to play him from the bench on the weekend.

 

[keniget]

BBC Sport picked a great picture for their headline story. What do I do now?

 

[Modo]

We need a lucky break. A Wellity Lucky break

 

[Sculptorini]

Fans are leaving.... Dark days.

 

[Farkmaster]

It's going to be difficult to score without the ball and without getting a forward in the box, but I'm here for it.

 

[Farkmaster]

Fans are leaving.... Dark days.

Well, they paid full price for a friendly in the rain.

 

[Woland]

This is the most Everton game of football I've ever seen at Anfield.

 

[Farkmaster]

Chiesa has done more holdup play with ZERO support in this game than Salah has this entire season.

Oh god, that's true.

 

[SteveQ78]

what a night to be there eh

 

[rubans]

Endo has not been good enough even for the Coca Cola cup for 2yrs. I can’t believe the free passes he’s been getting at work.

 

[mark1975]

Chiesa has done more holdup play with ZERO support in this game than Salah has this entire season.

Chiesa has shown more man management skills tonight than Slot has shown since 1856

 

[Modo]

Endo has not been good enough for 2yrs. I can’t believe the free passes he’s been getting at work.

So why didn't we replace him in the summer?

 

[Sculptorini]

Palace are cruising... It's almost like they feel sorry for us.

 

[Modo]

Save us Lucky

 

[rubans]

So why didn't we replace him in the summer?

Was a key swap that was required but I assume we the data nerds felt he could do a job ? I don’t know what job though…

 

[SteveQ78]

1 shot on target

 

[Modo]

Was a key swap that was required but I assume we the data nerds felt he could do a job ? I don’t know what job though…

Especially when Slot clearly favours Endo

 

[Fabio]

1 shot on fucking target
