Shocking offer for Coutinho, that. You'd think with the Messi-may-leave-if-no-big-new-player news leaking around they'd pull their finger out. 'oh here's 80 mil, if he wins Balon D'or we'll give you some money then, too'. They're clearly tapping/tapped him up, he wants to go, just give a good fee to actually give them something to think about for god's sake.

Have someone keep an eye on all the hotels in blackpool to limit their ability to tap him up

Good luck but you look an absolute shambles right now huh? Getting wallopped by the new boys at home was the very last start you needed. Zaha missing today just compounds that. Just don't see where any threat comes from without his outlet right now.

Personally, think de Boer's made a big mistake his career with this one. Not that Palace are a bad club. Just he won't get the time. He's trying to change a whole philosophy here ingrained under successive managers who are the polar opposite to his thoughts on the game and that's a long process. I hope for your sake I'm wrong but I can see him being binned before the seasons over given Parish's lack of patience.

And if you could take Sakho back South yer and finally off our hands it would be much appreciated. Ta.
 
Looked at the XG for Hoffenhiem Liverpool, it was the Germans who created the better chances, rather hat Liverpool. And they should have taken that game. Poor finishing did for them
 
If poor finishing did for them I don't know what it did for L'pool the clear cut chances they squandered.

But the 2 away they did take should be more than enough.
 
Despite Liverpool's problems, I just can't see past you winning today. I mean this Palace side leaks goals, is trying to play a style of football that will take a lot of time to integreate especially considering they are used to Sam Allardyce's methods.

This is practically the perfect team for you to face with their style of play. De Boer is in trouble already I think... he needs to get his ways of working and fast or else he is one of the first favourites to be sacked for me.
 
Completely with you on de Boer z. Gonna' be a long season for him with little patience to allow him to try change Palace.

Strange move.

Indeed, I just can't see it working out for him.. I mean I admire the way he tries to get teams to play a nice brand of football. But with a team like that... I just can't see it working at all. You could argue that a lot of their goals they conceded was just down to poorly organised defence, which is inexcusable in the Premier League. Although tbf to him, he's not the only team who looked disorganized in defensive scenarios on the opening weekend! Won't get away with that if it's a consistent issue though.

*****.

Anyway. Are the KOP actually stealing our Nemanja Vidic chant for Grujic? Lol.
 
I agree with you guys. Does not seem like the right appointment. Pardew tried to get ambitious with this squad and look what that got him. I do not want Palace to be another West Brom either.

Liverpool are dominating possession but I think they will find it difficult to break down Palace. I think it will come down to who makes the first mistake in a set piece. And if Palace scores first, things are going to get crazy.
 
I'll take the three points at this stage of the season. Dont understand Klopp's decisions especially the midfield today. I thought id seen the last of watching Milner attempt to play central midfield...
 
Good win. Deserved to nick the 3 points.

On another note, sorry I just don't see much in Wijnaldum as a CM to progress you to another level. Been thinking it for a little while now tbh, but kept it to myself. Keita or someone of that ilk shouldn't depend on whether Coutinho goes or not, you can upgrade on the Dutch fella who I forget is on the pitch so often. Ok, he may but in a lot of graft or whatever, but he literally never gets on the ball/stamps his marks on games.. he's supposed to be your CM?!

Touches from Liverpool's CM's today:

Milner 124
Henderson 98
Wijnaldum 37

Passes from Liverpool's CM's today:

Milner 116
Henderson 83
Wijnaldum 28

Even Milivojevic saw more of the ball in midfield for Palace..


Sums him up
