After last nights excitement in Europe we are back to Premier League action with a visit from new look Crystal Palace for a rare Saturday 3pm kick off:

Referee: Andy Madley. Assistants: Adrian Holmes, Eddie Smart. Fourth official: Geoff Eltringham

Palace so far this season P4 w1 D 2 L 1 for 5 points

Last game won 3-0 v Spurs team: Guita: Ward: Anderson: Guehi: Mitchell: Gallagher: Kouyate: McArthur: Ayew : Benteke: Zaha

Palace have tried to change with the appointment of a new manager in Patrick Vieira and it's fair to say they've had a reasonable start- the only change I can see to their team is maybe is new signing from Celtic Odsonne Edouard may start

PREMIER LEAGUE RECORD v Palace

At Anfield

P 12 w 8 D 1 L 3

They used to have a reputation as a bit of a bogey side as I think they beat us 3 times in a row here but over the last few seasons we have developed a winning habit against them

I always fear Zaha who I know people on here don't rate but on his day he is a very good player who was superb a few seasons ago at Anfield when we beat them 4-3

They have a new look central defensive partnership with ex Fulham captain Anderson and Chelsea youth product Guehi and Gallagher is a promising midfielder on loan from Chelsea

Also I wonder if any of their Ultra fans make the journey : I notice that they now have a man with a megaphone on a platform at the front to lead their formation chanting: can't stand organized cheer leading

LIVERPOOL as for us I am delighted with our start to the season; it's so good to be back in the stadium with friends and familiar faces supporting our team

What changes if any do we see in the team for Saturday. VVD will be back and I'm sure Mane will start- what about the midfield. Jones may get a start. Thiago back in.

In any case lots to discuss. I predict a 2-0 home win.

2 early free kick near half way for palace

It goes back post and is cleared, it’s recycled back in, Zaha is on to it and Alisson palms it towards goal. He’s back to push it wide.

Benteke then hits the post but it’s offside

TepidT2O · « **Reply #8 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:07:15 pm »

5 free kick out wide for palace.

The reds have made a slow start.

Cleared well

TepidT2O · « **Reply #9 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:11:42 pm »

8 the game has settled a touch

The reds with lots of the ball on the right

Chance!

Maybe fights off three on the left, feeds Tsimikas and his cut back finds Jota who shoots wide from a narrow angle

TepidT2O · « **Reply #10 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:13:54 pm »

10 ball in the palace area, chais ensues but they clear eventually

And then a trademark Thiago tackle to stop the break.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #11 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:16:56 pm »

13 3 on 3 break for Palace but Milner cuts the through ball out.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #12 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:18:19 pm »

15 Mane is fighting for everything, and Tsimikas is fighting like it’s shark week

TepidT2O · « **Reply #13 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:19:31 pm »

16 chance! Tsimikas to Mane, his back post cross is met by Hendo, and his shot is pushed behind by the keeper

TepidT2O · « **Reply #14 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:21:47 pm »

18 salah clips a ball over the top and the defender just gets enough on it to deny Jota a one on one

TepidT2O · « **Reply #15 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:23:26 pm »

19 Zaha into the area alongside Konate. Zaha goes down, nothing doing.

Palace corner, Benteke meets it 10m out and heads well over

Rush 82 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:23:51 pm »

After 20 minutes of Palace not being able to keep pace with us (but remaining unpunished), Palace have a few forays into our box.

If we maintain our level we're bound to score.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #17 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:26:43 pm »

23 free kick out wide for the reds

Flicked back in, VVD kicks it over his head, the goalie punches clear

Rush 82 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:29:03 pm »

Konate dealing maturely with a Benteke run into our penalty area - shepherds him calmly out fior goalkick.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #19 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:30:06 pm »

26 Benteke in a foot race against Konate. He stays strong and on his feet and forces him wide.

His shot goes behind for a corner

The reds break but the pass by Mane is over hit

TepidT2O · « **Reply #20 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:32:12 pm »

29 corner to the reds.

It’s low to the near post and Jota misses his kick

TepidT2O · « **Reply #21 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:33:06 pm »

When we have ball out wide, Hendo is always providing the overlap.

A change from our normal full back overlap

Rush 82 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:34:25 pm »

While Palace aren't parking the bus they are packing the box 1 we've had at least 4 ineffective attempts to shoot through a mass of yellow shirts.

Firing shots at a yellow wall.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #23 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:34:35 pm »

31 cross from the left, it’s played back across the edge of the box, Hendo does a step over and Thiago hammers it towards goal. Well blocked there

TepidT2O · « **Reply #24 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:35:51 pm »

32 shot from Milner, shot from Fabinho

Corner to the reds

Headed clear

TepidT2O · « **Reply #25 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:37:20 pm »

33 Thiago passes it to Konate who is up for the corner, Konate leaves it and Jotas shot deflects behind.

Bicycle kick from Mane is blocked for a corner.

Cleared

Rush 82 · « **Reply #26 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:37:34 pm »

Milner showing how canny he remains.

Gallagher wouldn't retreat from the FK so he kicks it against him forcing a retake.

(which came to nowt)

Rush 82 · « **Reply #27 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:38:41 pm »

Omg - how did Jota miss that!

First a great save but Jota skies the rebound

TepidT2O · « **Reply #28 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:39:35 pm »

36 free kick out wide for the reds

Nothing comes of it

TepidT2O · « **Reply #29 on:** September 18, 2021, 03:41:14 pm »

37 sensational move, Thiago in, Shoots at goal, it’s palmed to the side and Jota shoots over from close range. Well

40 Yellow card from Henderson for a shirt tug on Zaha

1-0 Mane.

Salah header from the corner is parried and Mane tidied up to fire home!

45 ball breaks to Galacher on the edge of the area. It’s well blocked

Corner to palace. It breaks to the edge of the D and a powerful shot is straight at Alisson

HT 1-0

46 low salah shot from the edge of the area is easily saved at the near post

Rush 82 · « **Reply #35 on:** September 18, 2021, 04:09:15 pm »

Salah is one of the hardest working in a team of grafters and he's a pleasure to watch to boot.

His defensive work is top notch.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #36 on:** September 18, 2021, 04:10:15 pm »

50 Hendo in on the right of the area but his low cross is cut out

TepidT2O · « **Reply #37 on:** September 18, 2021, 04:11:19 pm »

51 Low cross into the area by Zaha, Gallagher’s touch is heavy and Alisson gathers

Rush 82 · « **Reply #38 on:** September 18, 2021, 04:12:23 pm »

Huge cheers for Mo as he does well in defence.

Palace having a good 7 minutes or so - Viera has implemented a more direct tactic

53 like my typing, my stream has become unreliable

Pressure from Palace, they’re having a go. Salahs defending against Zaha is brilliant
