I remember beating Palace 9 0. Think it was in 88 or 89 in the fa cup. This current crop has to be considered on a par with that legendary team.

It was 1990. The worst thing about that was that we could have beaten utd in the final, ferguson would have been sacked, and we'd have saved a lot of misery. It was a real sliding doors moment!

Our 9-0 win against Palace was in the lge, they then beat us in Cup semi final 4-3 with non other then the great Alan pardew getting the winner

Ah good memory man. They were heady times to be a young liverpool fan, but little did we know how many barren years lay ahead. More the reason to enjoy this present day team so much.

How big Sam is even allowed to manage a Sunday lge team is beyond me after the carry on he pulled when manager of england

He used to fawn over Ferguson and was very anti-us, I believe, as a result. Always disliked him. Probably not a nasty person but that's the view I have of him.

Glad to see we can call Allardyce this without being carded - fair play mods. Allardyce is a complete Conte in my opinion.

And I'm not Sarri about saying it

Or pretty much all the comments from our opener to Mane's goal.

Saw the highlights again on MOTD this morning and have to say that I'm liking the black jersey. I predict a cheeky buy this morning....

Looking at firminio's two goals and Minaminos running in the lead up to them he drags the defenders away creating the space for firminio to run into

While we were great, I'm struggling to think of a worse opponent we have ever played ?

I think Rush had us 1-0 up but went off injured gave Palace a big lift plus some shambolic defending

He's doing for Bobby that which Bobby doeth for others. And we are all blinded by the light from Bobbys gob as a result.

I have to say that MOTD were effusive in praise of that performance, and rightly so. I'm still laughing at Sadios begrudgingly accepting face while watching Mo bag a couple of handy ones. He only ever gets upset when not allowed to feast on the carcass of a fallen prey.

We are an exceptional side with an exceptional manager. I love it.

Are fans still allowed in Anfield for the next game?

Liverpool, Everton, Brighton and Southampton only PL clubs allowed fans currently

Wouldn't be shocked if that's changed by the 27th though

That's mad, Ted. Palace weren't even the worst team we've played this season, never mind ever. If they'd been a bit more clinical, who knows what effect a goal back would have had on us. Even Henderson admitted that we were sloppy afterwards. It was a day when everything we hit went in but Palace aren't as bad as the result may have made them look.

BorneTobyWilde

It was too soon for fans, great to see and we all want it, but ffs it was stupid, and I expect it will be back to no fans very soon.

Nor were we as bad as the 2-7 result.

I think it’s gonna go seriously tits up in the UK. What do people think about the likelihood of them ending the league early or null agus void.

Don't think null and void will happen. But it could be something stupid like the league stops, starts again, stops so the euros can happen, then finishes in August

machiavellianme

Spurs in bother, or will VAR save them?

Can't decide what I want from this game, maybe a draw or a win for the second best manager in the league, good old B-rod.

Osmosis Jones

Brendan Rodgers to get the win that lays the foundations for another Liverpool title, eh?

I kind of reluctantly agree, what's even worse is 1500 people looking like they're sitting in a section of about 5/6000 seats, in a 53,000 seater stadium.

Wasn't it agreed that if it had to be ended, that as long as 50% of games were completed that the placings would stand. I'd imagine all teams would need equal games played tho.

Goals goals goals goals goals goals goals:









Bobby really is a special combination of tenacity and flair:





Even when he's not trying:



His long-legged tackles are one thing, he had plenty of those as a midfielder too, but moments like this from Fab are so impressive when you think he's only been playing as a CB for a couple months:



Alisson is so sharp, it's one thing to anticipate a long pass and get there before the attacker, but this is a massive deflection that could go anywhere and yet he's still there in time to cut it out:



Love these moments where Gini just decides no one else gets to touch the ball:



Yeah, me too:

If you've got only one tactic that's bound to happen as soon as you come up against teams who have good players and know not to faff about too much.

The Everton fans were giddy early doors about possibly winning the league. Then Spurs fans took over, United fans next up!

Spurs go from top to 5th in a matter of days. Top 5 clubs have lost 16 games between them.

Joint top ðŸ˜

Had to laugh, Aurier got away with kicking and barging Mane for the 80 minutes he was able to keep up with him on Wednesday night, and continues it today, but a different referee pulls him up and it's a penalty.

Crazy that 2nd to 5th lost 15 of those 16 games.

I think the next month will stretch the pack out for sure. The bigger squads will probably be sitting 5 or so points ahead of the others by the end of January.

Its been a nice novelty having so many so close up to this point, but i'd be surprised if we don't see the likes of Chelsea, City, United and ourselves with a bit of a cushion by the end of January

Can we vote for Hendo tonight?

Neville and Tyler were gas, so excited. Did their usual, Leeds are an amazing side blah blah Manch United are motoring now.

Whenever they are beating someone it's always a top top side!

A joke of a sport - a complete novice nearly won his first race in Hamilton's car if only his normally competent support staff didn't make huge ,"errors" on his car.


Hamilton sees the obvious and insists on taking the last race.

Yea, and kept mentioning ''7'' praying for them to match Liverpools 7 . So obvious and so sad how clear it was.

I see this doing the rounds on Twitter.

His numbers are just amazing.

121 premier league games for Liverpool 120 goals and assists 86 goals and 34 assists.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah came off the bench in the second-half against Crystal Palace at the weekend and bagged himself a quick brace.

These goals have now taken the Egyptian’s contribution rate (G+A) to 0.97 per game – the highest the Premier League has ever seen, slightly ahead of Thierry Henry at 0.96.

Sounds mad to say it but he's genuinely making a case for being one of the greatest to ever do it in the Premier League, he has the stats, he has the individual awards, he has the title(s).

If he stays, and keeps it up for another 2 full seasons then he'll be the greatest 1 season wonder that the league has ever seen.

4 games that stick in my memory as a young lad were losses that devestated the younger me at the time, the arsenal game at anfield, the Wimbledon final, Wayne Clarke header to stop our unbeaten record, and the Palace 4-3 game

Agent Coulson

Reports that Liverpool made a €22m bid for Sporting left back Nuno Mendes and it was turned down and they are ready to go back in with a new offer.

His release clause is reported to be €45m

My god you bring back horrible memories. Thomas scoring against us to loose the league when even a 1-0 loss would be ok and then we signed him. Wimbledon FA cup final was a mugging. I think Vinnie Jones was still there. Can’t say I remember Wayne Clarke. And the Palace game.

Why? Are we not well sorted in that position?

2. Greek lad
