Match Thread EPL Crystal Palace (A) - Saturday 27th 3pm

[Modo]

I think we been talking about different players 🙂
I was on about Mo, were you on about Kerkez?

No, Bradley.

 

[Number21]

Under Klopp we would come out 2nd half a different side the vast vast majority of the time.

I don't feel it happens as much under Slot.

 

[zoboroboz]

Kerkez hasn't had much to do.

Because Mateta is preying on Konate, hence everything is going down over that area and nearer to Bradley. Konate is having one of his games where he comes up against a big strong pacy striker and has total ball shrinkage.

It's even more frustrating to me that Kerkez has had not much defending to do, because when he's had the ball in attack, he's done exactly the same... nothing. No enterprising forward runs, no crosses, just pauses, checks inside and passes horizontally or backwards. A lot like later day Glen Johnson and Nathaniel Clyne.

 

[Markeh]

Kerkez hasn't had much to do.

he had the ball there in a wide position post corner with players in the box and is too scared to play it in, he earlier has isak demanding the pass and again too scared. he’s a passenger, at least bradley is accepting some attacking responsibility.

 

[MomoWASright]

Bradley has probably more touches in the final third than Mo.

 

[Pesam]

I don’t rate Curtis Jones but I’d bring him on for MacAllister who has been shocking.

 

[Modo]

I've been one of Wirtz's biggest critics here but I can't be that harsh today because he can't really do anything today. Yeah he's been wank, but I can't expect miracles. Palace are defending with 10 players.

 

[peterhague]

Kerkez has been SHIT on the ball.

There are inside passes TAA and Robbo make in their sleep. He's punting it up the line, to no one, and isn't brave enough to make the pass inside.

I'm quite worried he and Frimpong just don't have the class to play for Liverpool.

 

[rubans]

No, Bradley.

Oh yeah, He got better as half went on. Kerkez does need to do more though if he is a FB at LFC, seems a mismatch at moment.

 

[KopRed]

The wingers should take the risk, try to dribble someone, do something, at least we have a fullback behind.

Not the fullbacks.

They have 9 men behind the ball.

 

[MomoWASright]

I've been one of Wirtz's biggest critics here but I can't be that harsh today because he can't really do anything today. Yeah he's been wank, but I can't expect miracles. Palace are defending with 10 players.

He was bought for an extortionate amount to help in games just like this!!!!

 

[peterhague]

I'm so close to throwing the towel on wirtz. He's just not involved at any stage.

He's giving prime Lucas energy

Lol every time I watch him I just think fucking hell can you even imagine what Brendan would be saying about him.

As long as no goals come from his side, me and Kerkez are good. Whatever good he manages to create in attack is a bonus in my book.

He's been gash at LW. He either needs to go off or moved back to the 10

 

[rurikbird]

Gakpo on for Bradley. @Modo was right.

 

[Modo]

He was bought for an extortionate amount to help in games just like this!!!!

Yeah, I can't really disagree with that, but factoring in that he's new to the league and all that, I can at least understand that it's difficult for him in a game like this.

 

[Fabio]

Gakpo on for Bradley.

More than fine with that

 

[Modo]

Gakpo on for Bradley. @Modo was right.

Told ya...

 

[Fabio]

Yeah, I can't really disagree with that, but factoring in that he's new to the league and all that, I can at least understand that it's difficult for him in a game like this.

Not to be a cunt, but it's crystal fucking palace

 

[KopRed]

Anyway I am convinced we will win 2-3.

Let's go!

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

Wirtz did something, the hope is back.

 

[Fabio]

Wirtz much more impressive on the middle immediately

 

[Fabio]

Wirtz wide has to be dead now. Fucking has to be

 

[Fabio]

Nearly fucking 2-0 again

 

[Fabio]

I just fucking can't with this team

 

[MomoWASright]

Wirtz much more impressive on the middle immediately

I really liked that part where he kicked it straight to their player.

 

[Fabio]

I really liked that part where he kicked it straight to their player.

But he actually KICKED it at someone, rather than falling down under minimal pressure

We're in Dreamland

 

[binomial]

Gakpo is pants

 

[Fabio]

Has to be szob as first choice right back for a bit. Bradley and frimmers haven't been good.

I'd be tempted to give frimmers a run again, but Bradley should be 3rd choice for the moment

 

[Fabio]

Getting a bit more joy

That was fucking woeful from gakpo though
