Liverpool F.C. v Crystal Palace - Weds 24 June - 2015 KO

[Gethin]

Live on Sky but not on any of the free channels

Hopefully get Robbo & Salah back for this

If City drop any points to Burnley tonight then a win would clinch the league. If they don't, winning would mean we'd only need a point against City

Oh and f*** off Hodgson.

And we'd only need a point v City if they win at Stamford Bridge.

They looked pretty good the other day although Bournemouth are proper s***e.

You have us loosing this one?? 

[Rory Fitzgerald]

These are painful. 

Hodgson is in his 3rd season there and they are extremely frugal when it comes to goals at either end. Very low scorers but also not giving much away. 
 

You can see them being extremely compact. Benteke and Zaha are predominately right footed - pairing together close on the left to cut in on their right foot. Hoping to be against Lovren but certainly not on Van Dijk’s side. 

For us, if Salah can play, he’d face Van Aanholt. But if we can find a way to get him to receive the ball a little further infield then he’d be pulling onto Gary Cahill. I’d prefer him squaring Cahill up than trying to come off the right against the left back.

I could see percentage balls working for us if we win the ball back in our 3rd. Mané & Salah going at (Not the most nimble & mobile) Dann and Cahill is worth playing a long ball clearance if there is space whe we win the ball back  - if for no other reason that they love the comfort blanket of support in numbers to reduce the space to defend.

I hope the short turn around for them and us making them defend for a lot of the game will see some good opportunities for 70+ (hopefully though some goals for us by them)

 

 

[D.Boon]

Lovren won't be playing will he? Will he?

[Dan]

Very much looking forward to watching The Reds again tonight.

[muleskinner]

Could be some tricky moments, palace generally turn up at Anfield but our lads should be champing at the bit to get this thing as good as done.

[McBain]

I like champing 

Like what the champions elect do when they want to chomp

I hope not ! 
Though Matip is not available so if we play Gomez, there is not back up FBs on the bench with Milner out......he may not want Robbo to play 90 (or can’t)

Reckon Trent could go left in an emergency. Laroucci, Lewis. Not ideal, but there you go.

They haven't conceded a goal in their last four matches. 

But they did play Bournemouth, Watford, Brighton and Newcastle. Think it will be tight,  a 1-0.

[Tommok]

I'm going with a breezy 3-1.

 

[MarkD]

i honestly believe we will batter these. Our performance was not what we wanted on Sunday, City getting lauded and proclaimed as easy champions for next seasons, Mo and Robbo back. Boys will want to make a show. No Lovren and off we pop.

[Earl Hafler]

We'll be in trouble if our recent form ( including few matches pre lockdown ) continues. 

 

[Cam]

If Gomez, Robertson and Salah are fit to start the only question marks are midfield.

Henderson and Fabinho are certainties.  Rest Milner after his knock.  So it's down to one from AOC, Keita, Wijnaldum, Lallana.

Reckon Keita starts again. AOC didn't do anything on Sunday to warrant a starting place

[Swipe]

Feels like every recent game with them has been tight. Although we've won them all.

Will take any win, though a lovely dominant one would be nice.

[Sion]

Gary Cahill and Scott Dann at CB has got about the same mobility as the titanic. Should be running rings around them. 

[Cam]

After my thinking we would stuff Everton I know I should keep my gob shut but...

 

Which would be the best way to humiliate Hodgson?

a) a display of Total Football, 90% possession, chances galore, showboating, goal of the season, but only 1-0.

b) 50/50 possession, lucky goals for us (scruffy tap-ins, own goals etc) , wrongly ruled-out goals for them, but ultimately 5-0.
