Topic: Half time: Liverpool 1-1 Crystal Palace

[scouseman]

Was it pre-match? Sly Sky editing it in after the goal?

i thought the same

[Trendisnotdestiny]

No.

He has been massively inconsistent throughout his career here, always a mistake in him and it's always a costly one.

Always means something.... like every time....   Lovren and Matip have not lost a prem game.  And I am not sure where you were against Dortmund 

[lessthanmatt]

Who gives a shit what Sakho is doing? I'm more concerned that the players we have on the pitch can't defend to save their lives and we've created fuck all in 45 minutes of football.

Is right. Are people watching a soap opera, where they'd rather discuss Sakho than the match? We're in a Top 4 race here versus the Mancs

[Kwaideng]

Jurgen has had Sakho sussed as a snide. i've never rated the big awkward shithouse but Lovren makes him look good.
Clyne has no confidence and looks weak defensively.

[Isaacsways]

what a shock... Our defence is utterly inept.. many of the reasons why this squad needs a vast overhaul

[tommy LFC]

Also, Benteke is a little bitch. What a pathetic dive!

[thekitkatshuffler]

Sakho burning bridges with that celebration?

Lol, we've already torched any bridges that existed.  Why would he show any loyalty to us when we've shown none to him?

Besides which, I'm not convinced it was after the goal.  Benteke was over on the other side of the pitch and didn't really celebrate himself.

[harleydanger]

Solid defensively but offers nearly nothing offensively. Milner isn't brilliant on the other side either, but it's not his natural position

Until we sort the CB's can't really expect much offensively out of the FB's

[acks]

Exactly, Matip seemed really slow to get back into position and Lovren is playing like he used to in his first season for us! Clyne was nowhere to be seen in defence or attack and Milner is just not a left back.

[AaronSingh25]

Sakho can fuck right off.

Few tweets are saying it was a pre match thing with Benteke.

Anyone confirm?

[jillcwhomever]

I think we lack intensity and desire. They need to be giving 100%. Palace will not just roll over for us.

We don't lack desire, there is no lack of effort, they were never going to make it easy for us though. Just need to get Bobby into the game more.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Lovren AGAIN....not good enough, was hoping Sakho wiuld return to replace him, tho he can clear off too.

Just stop... Clyne was late on Benteke as well.  Most goals require 5 mistakes.... Stop with the Lovren bashing.

[SwordInYourGut]

Shambolic from Lovren

[liverpool185]

One match doesn't change anything. He isn't good enough to be a starter for this club week in week out, pretty fucking obvious we need better than him.

[tommy LFC]

Was it pre-match? Sly Sky editing it in after the goal?

Really? Sneaky bastards!! I'll put my torch and pitch fork away.

[Dave D]

At this stage of the season it doesn't matter how we win. We just need to win. Fancy backheels and nutmegs can fucking waiting until next season.

As for Sakho, who's surprised. The lad is obviously not right in the head with all the shit he's done against this club.

[Crosby Nick]

This is why I'm happy to loan players out for ever more rather than sell them. Such an inevitable scorer.

Come on Reds,  big second half. How much do we want it?

[Lar Salty]

Lovren is an absolute joke of a defender. No idea how people are so content with him as a CB option. He's completely brainless.

[Sarge]

Its HT calm the fuck down and go watch the second half.

Btw Lovren is a very handsome man

[deFacto please, you bastards]

We've been playing too slow for the entire half. Would be brilliant if we finished the half with the lead. We weren't very good but their goal was undeserving.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Lol, we've already torched any bridges that existed.  Why would he show any loyalty to us when we've shown none to him?

Like Sakho did with the Gerrard slip pass?  Where was Mama then?

[RJ320]

Is Tony Adams secretly our defence coach?

[jillcwhomever]

Lol, we've already torched any bridges that existed.  Why would he show any loyalty to us when we've shown none to him?

What the hell are you on about?

[Upinsmoke]

Few tweets are saying it was a pre match thing with Benteke.

Anyone confirm?

I was thinking that. I can't see Benteke not celebrating infront of the Kop, only to walk over to Sakho and do that.

[Caligula?]

People talk about Lovren but all of Palace's play in our end has been coming from Milner's side. It's not been a lot mind you, but still.

[Johns_Barn]

We lacked the concentration, we had at the Hawthornes...

Its the difference between believing they were going to win, versus preparing to win.

I missed the fist half but this sounds about right.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Lovren is an absolute joke of a defender. No idea how people are so content with him as a CB option. He's completely brainless.

Troll

[Giono]

Fullback is more of a weakness for us that central defence. And yes, our fullbacks are that bad.

[telekon]

Lovren is an absolute joke of a defender. No idea how people are so content with him as a CB option. He's completely brainless.

That's a load of hyperbole.

[RK7]

Matip has to make more effort to cut the cross out as well, we just do not have defenders who snuff out danger consistently enough.

[Carra-ton]

If we don't make top 4, we can't blame anyone but ourselves. That defending is unpardonable.

[jillcwhomever]

At this stage of the season it doesn't matter how we win. We just need to win. Fancy backheels and nutmegs can fucking waiting until next season.

As for Sakho, who's surprised. The lad is obviously not right in the head with all the shit he's done against this club.

Is right the sooner  he's gone the better.

[Ste08]

Surprise, surprise Lovren is an accident waiting to happen.

Goodbye Sakho

[Skrtelonparole]

horrible defending for that goal... Fucks sake..
2nd half - we go again. Step it up reds!!

[mrantarctica]

Average first half. Milner has been productive buy Clyne very poor. Doesn't offer anything going forward but we tolerate this because we think he's dependable at the back. Then you see his tracking back and see that he's nowhere near Benteke and should at least be putting him off or making it difficult. Lovren also caught out of position there. Not sure how Cabaye got that side of him and got that cross in. A centre half should be doing much better.

Quiet first half from a lot of players. They need to step up the tempo 100% Can't always rely on Phil to dig us out of trouble.

[Motty]

Sakho can fucking do one the c*nt.

[sminp]

Don't get the Sakho hate, he's a Palace player right now.

Can't be missing sitters like Can's, could've been 2-0 but now because of piss poor defending its 1-1 😞

[tommy LFC]

Is Tony Adams secretly our defence coach?

No, he's Granada manager mate.

[lessthanmatt]

We don't lack desire, there is no lack of effort, they were never going to make it easy for us though. Just need to get Bobby into the game more.

When we scored we should have tightened up in defence. They have to come at us while they're losing and that opens the door for more goals. Now we've gifted them the ability to go back into the super strict defence that we barely scratched. I think we'll need another moment of magic from someone

[Dougle]

What a brilliant goal from Coutinho! Nice of Benteke not to celebrate his goal too.

This will be completely ignored, but it is only half time, we're the better side and they didn't deserve to equalise.

We are at home, playing into the kop, we need to win. Let's go.
