A large part of me thinks that the reason there is no decision announced on where he is going is because he will end up going to another PL club, which can't be officially signed in advance (despite the fact that Bayern seem to manage to announce agreements in advance every year in Germany).

No idea where he is going but my only regret is that hes going for free.

Not a fan of his. If he had a contract and we were getting 20 mill for him then I'd be saying great.

Out of all our current regular 10 outfield players I'd say we can afford to lose him fastest.
(not including Lovren in that btw)

Wasn't the wind mental during that game as well though?

I dunno but If he plays well against city this will all blow over anyway.

At least Gale is gone from Palace

He always had a stormer against us.

I think Zaha is still a doubt as well - he's another one who could hurt us.

Benteke has been atrocious this season, but of course he has a habit of destroying us - if he actually plays. Though to be honest, I reckon VDV would have him well under control.

Benteke will try to play against Lovren or Matip presumably, like the tactics utd used for Lukaku.

I've been bracing myself for such an eventuality and I reckon it could even be United. The link was reported by the Manchester Evening News in January and it adds up IMO.

He's a combative, strong midfielder, the type that can do well under Mourinho, and moving between big clubs isn't the faux pas in Germany which it is here. Plus, with Carrick going and Herrera clearly not having José's backing, they'll be adding to that area this summer anyway.

Probably just a case of 2+2=5 but I wouldn't be shocked. I'd say he's as likely to be there as City anyway.

I still reckon Juventus is his most likely destination, though.

Also, I think the rules about speaking to clubs are PL specific, hence the reason Bayern tend to get around it in Germany.

Widdensushi

He's going to juventus

Vicxas

Did someone day Zaha is out?

Great news if true, but Benteke has been known to hurt us.

Some deal for Liverpool, they get paid 3.8m by West Brom to let them use their Medical department

Turtyturd

Tbf he’ll ‘score goal wherever he goes’ so he’s probably banging them in in the medical department.

I don't think there's a medical department on Earth that could fix that particular problem. You have to feel sorry for him but I think at this stage he's better off retiring. Pity.

Kerrigooney

Just saw a Tweet saying under Klopp, Liverpool have only won 3 out of 14 lunchtime games. Now I'm worried.

Iused2likebusts

If we win today we will get top 4. I think its going to be a really difficult game though.

Utopia Parkway

That Palace side look like they'll be dangerous going forward but also crap at the back.

Kerrigooney

#LFC starting XI v #CPFC: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Milner, Wijnaldum, Salah, Mane, Firmino Subs: Mignolet, Lovren, Moreno, Clyne, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ings

Hope Clyne gets 30 mins today and starts against city.

patsy sally

could be in for a tough afternoon at palace today a draw wouldnt be the worst result..

garra

Klopp to take revenge for Huddersfield defeat. 3 1 to the red men

I think the same. One of the trickier fixtures we have left. A win would put us 10 points clear of Chelsea albeit they would have 2 games in hand but I'd always take the points in the bag at this stage.

Henderson, milner & wij. Not the most creative midfield 3.

Lallana is hardly being kept for city game?

A loss is obviously the worst result, but it is reasonably important that we win.

Osmosis Jones

They've got Martin Kelly playing centre half, I'd hope we can exploit that.

They are there on merit, been good recently.
Lallana still has a ways to go to regain the kind of form he showed before he got injured.
Happy enough with the line up.

Riesen_Meal

What's the red stain on Hendos jersey?

Was his boobies bleeding or something? 🀣

Vicxas

Sh1te. Zaha starts.

mada999

need the win today,,,

Agent Coulson

Palaces first attack in the opening 10 seconds was targeting TAA that going to be the whole game.

NukaCola

Really hate playing Palace...

Turtyturd

30 seconds to mention that game that didn’t cost us the league.

He'll have to rise to the challenge.....no other option with Gomez injured and Clyne not 100%, you'd hope he'll get more help than vs United

martyos121

That pass from Mane to Trent was class.

Better him than any of our other right backs though.

City are going to murder us if TAA starts.


Karuis with a great save.

BorneTobyWilde

What a save !
Always knew he was a great keeper .

Vicxas

Jesus TAA come on

You'd expect Virgil & hendo to ensure that, indeed.

Utopia Parkway

Trent caught out there a bit again by Zaha.

BorneTobyWilde

Controlled it with hand instinctively

NukaCola

Liking Karius more and more......Hodgson copying Jose tactics, TAA doesn't look like he learned from those mistakes

NukaCola

Game far too frantic....need to control the ball better

qm1bv4p8i92aoj

TAA is a major weakness for us that teams are actively targeting.

Zaha is quality though. He has a hard task today and against City if played.

Agent Coulson

Mane stops the goal

TitianGerm

That was going in I think.

Osmosis Jones

For fcuk sake Trent.
