Liverpool going to be miles off Man. City this season, 10 + points I reckon.

Have they got a tonne of injuries as they've barely got anything on the bench to change things if Palace sit tight. Jota and Thiago out, anyone else?

Think they should've freshened up midfield a bit unless they're playing the long game on Jude Bellingham and perhaps even Declan Rice, that would be a statement to sign both.

It's the long game on Bellingham.

I don't see how that could possibly backfire.

Anfield as usual dead quiet after the pre match sing song is turned off. Myth atmosphere.

Did the referee use to have hair and now he doesn't? Something's different.

Firmino is missing too

So sad to watch the intensity at which they play. They are chomping at the bit. Our players are frozen in fear or not arsed.

Noticing that when Liverpool lose the ball and Palace break, the amount of times a Liverpool midfielder pressures the attacker from behind and takes the ball off them, from behind, running towards their own goal is awesome tbh.

We just have an attacker bearing down on our centre backs, our midfielders jogging back.

I dunno why they're going long to zaha so quickly. They did fine against the Arsenal press so there's capability to play the ball in the palace team.

Trent is out of this world. Read earlier that Barca were going to bid 67mil for him - as if

TAA is basically a cheat code for Pool. Ridiculous player.

What was Van Dijk doing there, didn't even attempt to close Zaha down?
