Dr. Gonzo Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 1 minute ago, The Palace Fan said: Some of the quick passing from us is very encouraging. You compare this to the way we used to play when Allardyce first arrived and it's world's apart. Hodgson might not be the right man to bring into a club to right the ship when a club has failed to match ambition... but he's fantastic at taking mid-table clubs and building them up. You look hard as fuck to beat and capable of playing some very nice stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMadLad Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 3 minutes ago, Stan said: it's very narrow at times and Palace getting players around those 2 very quickly. As soon as Salah comes inside he's taking up Firmino's space, because he doesn't move out the way. The quick passing is all well and good when it comes off but it's made even more difficult when 4 or 5 Palace players all crowd around. You're not quite Barcelona just yet Firmino is usually excellent at creating space, his movement is fantastic. That's what I mean by he's still a little off the pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted August 20, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted August 20, 2018 Wan-Bissaka is brilliant. Matching levels of Keita in this game now. Pacy, powerful and strong, good control, good passing, showed good composure just then before the cross. Didn't get on the bandwagon from the last game as it was only Fulham (no disrespect) and it was only one game. On the other hand, is Zaha playing? Alexander-Arnold is nullifying him very well.

Storts Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Same old Salah and Liverpool. He’s thrown himself to the floor and won himself a pen. Never in doubt that Oliver would give it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Honestly if that's enough for a player in modern football to go to ground then we might as well fold the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It was a foul but Salah sure made a meal of it... Palace can consider themselves a bit unlucky there.. Been a good contest between the sides... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Love to know what he's saying. Reckon he knows it's totally iffy. Looked to me that some Liverpool players were getting him away from the ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whopping TWO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMike Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Definite penalty that. We've been ok. A lot of the ball and not enough chances created though. The full backs need to improve second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Sakho takes two jabs at Salah there and he goes down after the second one. Definite pen. Harry 'Mr Honest' Kane would have stayed on his feet though eh @Storts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 20, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted August 20, 2018 It's a foul. It's also a dive. Penalty the right call for me even if it's soft. More because other penalties have been given for the same thing than because penalties should be given for that but that's the state of the sport now.

IgnisExcubitor Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Keita has Gerrard's industry and Alonso's ability to pick the 'right' pass. That pass could be long and extravagant or short and simple, but it's usually spot on. We have got ourselves some player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
