Topic: Half time: Liverpool 0-0 Crystal Palace

This is how it's going to be from now on, isn't it ? Shit teams will just sit back, play 10 men in their own box and wait to counter.

On a more positive note, Robertson has really impressed this first half.

From now on? Teams have played like this against us for decades because it works.

[elsewhere]

sprinklers looking poetic

[stockdam]

Just lacking that final pass or a break of the ball. We'll score eventually and will probably win 3-0.

2-0

Is he the guy with all the other bedwetting whinger accounts?

Not sure about bedwetting whinger, but he knows everything

[tommy LFC]

I seriously hope it's not "one of those games". You know what kind of game I mean. At the moment it feels that way.

Let's be honest, every game is that game in a RAWK half time thread.

[JackWard33]

Stop
Stop
Stop

He is fine.  Players make errors, he is playing wide and adjusting to space as he floats in and out of the game. 

His shot has been the most dangerous attempt - except for Matip's missed sitter.

He had a bad half. I like him and defend him on here constantly - he still had a bad half

[Funky_Gibbons]

That free kick on the edge of the area makes me realize how much we miss a genuine dead ball specialist. Wish Firmino had grabbed that like he has started to with penalties,

And yes, I know TAA looks incredibly promising at set pieces.

To be fair that free kick was very close, hard to get it up and down from there.

[Snusmumriken]

With the fantastic crosses on display todat, we really should try Solanke!

[LiverBirdKop]

I'll take a 1-0 craptastic win.

2017/18's scapegoat is confirmed, then?

a person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others

Given that our biggest problem to tackle this season is creating clear cut chances against deep defences, and we've got a midfielder who averages less touches per 90 minutes than any of his 9 outfield team-mates, I wouldn't describe him as a scapegoat. We have a big fault as a team and he is arguably the biggest fault within that.

[Purple Red]

Not even then. I only come in here to take the piss.

You can forget about fourth place if our supporters' mentality is just to take the piss.

[jonkrux]

stick lallana in this side we would look great. Robertson looks quality! 2-0 full time. Come on lads!!!

[liverpool185]

LOL at certain posters losing their shit because someone else dared to say we were average in that half, which is true we were average.

[Pistolero]

hope we get our arses into gear...the season's starting soon...

[xbugawugax]

both teams look like mid table contenders with us just a bit better

Sturridge just have that bit of class about him

Bobby a bit hit and miss

Gini need to be braver on the ball.

Robbo looks decent enough on the left.

Midfield looks functional without any spark.

We are trying to play penetrative passes around the palace box and looks like a work in progress.

Like any expert pundit would say, a single goal could be decisive in this game. Freaking rocket science stuff .

[Paul_h]

Palace have come for a point
Mane and Firminho look tired

Robertson looks excellent..

1 goal will do these, Sahla to come on hopefully...

[The 1989 Brit Awards]

ben woodburn looks about 8 years old haha

[hesbighesred]

Everything is awful at all times

I fucking hate you blind optimists. Let's be realistic...more than everything is atrociously abysmal at all times AND spaces.

[liverpool185]

2017/18's scapegoat is confirmed, then?

What did he do in the first half?

[stockdam]

You can forget about fourth place if our supporters' mentality is just to take the piss.

Don't be so ridiculous, literally every critical comment in this thread has a direct effect on the team

[sms1986]

Fans don't affect league positions

Thank fuck for that, with some of the whingers on here, we'd be relegated every season!

When the transfer window opens we will learn from our mistakes. Don't worry.

It did when there was atmospheres at league games

[Trendisnotdestiny]

He had a bad half. I like him and defend him on here constantly - he still had a bad half

I am not sure you know what a bad half is, if that is the case

[Barneylfc∗]

LOL at certain posters losing their shit because someone else dared to say we were average in that half, which is true we were average.

It's to be expected though. 2 games in, and with the players on the pitch, it was never going to be fluid

[Sarge]

`Fuck me some of you lot 

[liverpool185]

cmon reds

[Marty McFly]

Glad to hear Robertson doing so well, have had high hopes for him!

Feel like Klopp's gone for a solid first XI meaning to up the pace later on.

I can't get a stream to watch the match but from what I'm hearing, hope if it stays the same, Klopp makes his changes earlyish

Give Salah and Solanke a run at these boring fuckers!
