Just a few lines to say good game, your ******* manager aside, and I have no doubt you’re in for a real good season the quality of players at Palace now.
Yeah, the game didn’t go how you wanted but it was more a ‘free hit’ playing against this L’pool side that is fast approaching City levels. The progress and development season-on-season under Klopp has been massive and it’s now been taken on another level this year. The unwavering belief and confidence they have, which has been there from day 1 pre-season .....You’d think they won the European Cup not lost it! And there’s a real substance about this team now to go along with how great they are styalisitcaly. So no shame at all in losing at home to that gang of Reds.
But man, if you keep up that level of commitment to go along with the talent there won’t be many teams, the obvious caveat of City aside, that will get much of anything at Selhurst. The only player that looks out of place is Benteke. Which seems more and more is just a massive crisis of confidence as he has the talent to be a **** good centre forward. And the oerfect partner for the wonderful Zaha. Looking at this group, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see you pushing for the Europa place. Which for Palace would be Disneyland awesome. And if you could go at City again and maybe take something off them along the way it’d be appreciated .....
As for Hodgson ..... Beyond cringe the way he’s still carrying on over the officiating. Thats as clear cut as it could be. Sakho swipes at him 3 ****** times to finally impede him. Just as Mo’s trying to shoot. Where he’s getting off claiming the complete opposite ..... As embarrassing as most anything he said at Anfield. And he said some of the most embarrassing things we’ve ever had the musfortune of suffering through so that’s quite impressive. Absolutely mad that he or anyone else is even trying to make a debate out of it.
Again, good game. We won’t have much harder worked tasks all year.
Good luck the rest of the season. Except the return at Anfield.
. From what I have read it sounded like Sakho and the defense was excellent except for two moments of brain dead decision making. The second goal is understandable when pushing everyone forward trying to get a goal a man down. We fought to the end and the support was excellent (so I heard)!
