Brilliant performance for most of the half, rightly rewarded with a couple of good goals. Particularly pleased to see Ox among the goals again, he's stepped up nicely in the last few games.

We just need to make sure we keep our concentration, Palace wouldn't have had so much as a sniff for the entire half if we hadn't got a bit sloppy towards the end.

We’ve got to stop giving teams like this encouragement. Palace haven’t created anything yet two sloppy passes by Matip and Firmino have given them really big chances and keeps them interested.

Unusually casual from both Matip and Bobby gave them their best two chances. They haven't been a danger otherwise

Our own worse enemy at times

Jurgen will be going nuts as this could easily be 3 2 to them

DelTrotter · « **Reply #6 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:49:58 pm »

Incredible for 42mins, should be 4 or 5. HT at a good time though to remind them not to let standards slip, at least not until we've got 4 anyway! Robbo has gone god mode.

stockdam · « **Reply #7 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:01 pm »

Really good display and two great goals especially the 2nd. We just need to be careful at the back.

gemofabird · « **Reply #8 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:01 pm »

In control but need to watch being complacent

Brilliant first 35 minutes then took foot off the pedal. See a 4-0 win coming up

sminp · « **Reply #10 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:06 pm »

Brilliant for most of the half, last 5 or so mins was not pretty though. Glad for half time in the end to get in and reset

Fromola · « **Reply #11 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:12 pm »

Top performance, need to see it through after letting 2 goal leads slip this season.

Palace have only got in when we've gifted them possession in stupid areas, which we shouldn't be doing.

Curtis Jones has really blended the midfield together again.

tubby · « **Reply #12 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:36 pm »

Great 30 minutes followed by a sloppy 15, need to cut that stuff out.

Ox hasn't really been in the game but took his goal excellently. Midfield all doing a great job.

Samie · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:37 pm »

Good first half but Matip with a few dodgy passes...cut it out Joel.

cdav · « **Reply #14 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:37 pm »

Great performance for 35 mins, then think its too easy and make some really sloppy errors giving the ball away in dangerous areas and lucky they aren't back in it

Senior players need to switch on- no errors and we win this comfortably

Darkness · « **Reply #15 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:41 pm »

We need a third goal we have been casual so many times this season when leading and thrown away points.

naYoRHa2b · « **Reply #16 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:44 pm »

Played well at times. At times it's been too easy and that's led to some complacency. Sure Klopp will be getting in to them at half time and reminding them to stay focused.

Easiest header Van Dijk will have and great ball from robbo for the second

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #17 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:45 pm »

Scintillating stuff for 35 minutes, then we tried our best to let them back in. If we keep our concentration and composure we'll take them to the cleaners second half as they'll have to push forward.

harryc · « **Reply #18 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:53 pm »

Matip all over the place again.

proudred · « **Reply #19 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:50:57 pm »

Need to sort out our passing Matip,Ox in particular.

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #20 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:51:13 pm »

Glorious 38 minutes, as dominant as we’ve been all season, followed by seven minutes of continual brainfarts. Thank God for Ali and his glorious mane.

Thought Curtis was great in that dominant period, again.

StL-Dono · « **Reply #21 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:51:19 pm »

What can CP manager say at the half? "Keep letting them make huge casual mistakes. Our only offense is their careless passes."

kezzy · « **Reply #22 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:51:20 pm »

Great for 40 minutes then gave these a couple of great chances through sloppy play. Early goal second half and kill these off red men.

Hedley Lamarr · « **Reply #23 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:51:22 pm »

Bobby is one of my favourite players, but he's ben well off it today, not sure Hendo and Matip have been that much better. Really strange game.

rob1966 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:51:25 pm »

Few slaps at half time with a cold bratwurst to remind them to play for the entire half will sort it out. Other than that, great first half from us.

Father Ted · « **Reply #25 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:51:25 pm »

Superb display for 30 minutes, seemed to get a bit complacent and sloppy after we got the second. Carragher saying Palace should be level is taking it a bit too far though, the only chances they got were from us relaxing & switching off.

That first half an hour was brilliant though, winning it back in no time and passing round them for fun.

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #26 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:51:27 pm »

Little sloppy last 10 minutes but apart from that, excellent football.

Friend has been OK too for most of the half

Macphisto80 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:51:36 pm »

2 up and decide to fuck about and get sloppy. Klopp will be fucking livid with that. How many times have we seen it happen when we've looked comfortable this season and absolutely shit the bed because we got complacent. Need to sort that out.

Coolie High · « **Reply #29 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:51:39 pm »

Good performance, although defence not quite right.

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #30 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:51:41 pm »

Largely excellent half but got a bit sloppy at the end there. Alisson is brilliant for when that happens though.

Some really good passing and pressing, thought Firmino has been really good but was guilty of causing one of those sloppy moments.

More of the same please

Goodison-esque. Nothing to complain about there with the officials.

geez ffs guys, i should be in here waxing lyrical about how we've controlled the game and played great football instead im left feeling we're doing our best to gift them a goal, so so fucking sloppy, and it was catching too and we've now created a lot of pressure for ourselves and written their teamtalk for them

im sure klopp is going to get into them and i hope the fuck they sort that shit out

Quote from: Gray Hamster on January 23, 2022, 02:51:45 pm

they had three really good chances that on another day they put away, granted we had a couple as well in addition to our goals

Exceptional for the first 35 minutes, such a joy to watch the movement.

Schmarn · « **Reply #35 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:52:00 pm »

Best half hour of football this season. It should give Klopp confidence to rest Mo and Sadio a little bit more when the fixtures pile up.

Obviously a little careless there at the end of the half but it should act as a wake up call to control the game and pick them off.

Curtis excellent again and great to see this front 3 gelling well together.

redmark · « **Reply #36 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:52:22 pm »

Sloppy last 10, but really good before that. Ox and Henderson pressed really well restricting Palace on that flank, though they did eventually get out that side a couple of times to break the siege.

Ox, Jones and the fullbacks, in particular, excellent going forward.

Twice in that half, Van Dijk needed to accelerate and there was absolutely nothing there, which is something of a concern.

scatman · « **Reply #37 on:** January 23, 2022, 02:52:25 pm »

get that third goal we'll be fine. The quality of that second goal starting from Alisson, the passing out, creating an overload on the right, playing it out in triangles and then the switch to the other side. Brilliant team goal that was.

Yeah. If there’s something wrong with him, he shouldn’t be starting the game. I’d take him off at HT again.
