00:00to seeing him because he's clearly very very talented and in the same mold really
00:03Saar came into Palace with big boots to fill with Elise moving off to Bayern Munich very
00:09different players his strong suit is driving with the ball his pace very very different but he's
00:15complemented first Eze and now with Pino a different type player but he's been an excellent
00:20signing for Crystal Palace and the headlines still seem to be written about this man even
00:25though he's stayed put for the moment at Crystal Palace I suppose because of Liverpool's defensive
00:31issues currently but what you can't say about him is that his performances haven't dropped his
00:37standards have been sky high and tonight he'll be very difficult to breach as always Craig
00:42Porton the man in the middle the first Liverpool game since their draw with Villa in February
00:46Matthew Wilkes the fourth official is Andrew Kitchen Konstantin Atsidakis one of his other
00:55assistants there is no VAR at this stage of the Carabao Cup
00:58so off we go Liverpool were top of the Premier League with a 100% record when they last faced
01:08Palace a month ago they're without a point since in the Premier League and have lost four of their
01:14last five the convincing win over Frankfurt shows the wheels haven't come off completely
01:19but on a slot admitted at the weekend they haven't found an answer to the style of play they're
01:24increasingly coming up against one which Palace performed so well
01:27Will Hughes is down early after that challenge and Craig Paulson is immediately over to have a quick look
01:33Chiesa putting his weight about
01:38would have winded him didn't quite see that one coming not many visiting sides come to Anfield and start
01:48there's the favourites that has to be on paper at least given the relative strength of his side
01:54and experience the case for Oliver Glasner whose last three games he said against Liverpool have shown
02:01we can create chances and score nothing else but our best will be good enough
02:05Will Hughes might not have seen that coming but he's a hardy competitor hope he can run this one off
02:13yeah innocuous challenge straight off the bat Will Hughes just feeling the effects of that
02:20just disrupting the early part of this game and yeah Palace very very strong yet made multiple changes
02:28but a lot of these players have had first team minutes this season and more than capable of
02:32of stepping in and let's not forget that they were on an incredible run until relatively recently yes
02:39they've had a slight dip in terms of results maybe the performance at Arsenal but
02:43the disappointment I think overrided by just how far they've come across the last couple of years to be
02:50so dissatisfied losing by a goal to nil potentially the team that could win the league this season just shows
02:56what a great place Crystal Palace are in
02:58here's Gomez she's is desperate to come back on on the touchline
03:03what a great place Crystal Palace are in
03:06here's Gomez she's is desperate to come back on on the touchline
03:11Endo who looks actually to be playing right-sided centre half in a back three with Kerkis on one side
03:17so it looks like they've gone to match Palace at least and that's a little bit of a loose one from Robertson
03:22he uses experience to get out of trouble Palace's run an amazing 19th game unbeaten run in all competitions
03:29ended on a previous visit to Merseyside 24 days ago at Everton the game they could easily have won in fact all of the
03:35four that have gone without a win they could easily have won here's Ngomoa and he gets it back runs into Craig Paulson which just took the fizz out of it a little bit and that is cleared away
03:46Liverpool have made a bright start and here's Kerkis the only survivor from the weekend
03:52this man McAllister was a substitute Gomez pops it out to the right-hand side
03:58let's see how they do approach in terms of attacking
04:05Morrison an impressive young winger picked up when he was released from Manchester United
04:11Endo with the little ball forward he will give Liverpool a bit of adaptability in there he's played centre half
04:16he's played that holding midfield role he can step in and play passes and Palace have had to put it out for a corner
04:22yeah good little dark from Ramsey he was involved in the build-up play cute bit of movement flipped over the top by Endo and
04:29Slight hesitancy from Gaye I would suggest there LaCroix doing well to come round on the cover
04:36Ramsey's another interesting one a first first team appearance almost exactly three years
04:44it was his first start against Derby County in this competition
04:48there's another who did well in the recent under 21 Merseyside Derby
04:53it's Liverpool one against Everton here comes the first set piece which is knocked away
04:59pretty comfortably by Saar
05:01turns straight back in but only into the arms of Benitez a hugely experienced
05:08Crystal Palace goalkeeper title winner in the last two seasons with PSV Eindhoven
05:21it will be interesting to see who has much more of the ball this is Anfield and this is Liverpool but it is not the Liverpool
05:27that the fans are used to watching Crystal Palace they will have to take that one
05:36they'll have a different challenge really in Europe they've become the side that teams fear teams are looking to beat the time the side with more possession in many games
05:48and the slot side are used to that his shoes who's shaking it off and it's back on and pops it forward down the middle
05:56looking for Muñoz who is going to be up and down that right flank
05:59a few players cover as much ground as him Oliver Glasner did hint that it would be strong and
06:08it would be those quick players in the builder given that the style that they've used to beat
06:13Liverpool why would we not pick those players who are adapted in that style and make it possible
06:18yeah he's been a revelation
06:19Munoz and it gives them that lovely balance I think with his attacking prowess and
06:24and Mitchell's solidity I suppose the the opposite wing back so look out even in the absence of Mitchell tonight for those crossfield balls
06:32Gahey, Lacroix they strike a really nice ball
06:35diagonals trying to release the full backs and
06:37when they get in
06:39they don't look to just whip it into the danger area they look to cut things back for the arrival of midfield runners it's
06:45a pattern that works time and time again for Palace
06:48here is Ramsey
06:50here pops it into the far post
06:53Munoz away
06:54only as far as Kerkest though
06:56he has one or two points to prove I think
06:59so far this season
07:00Gmoa
07:01only recently 17
07:06Kerkest still very very young
07:10McAllister
07:11for Robertson
07:13already when Liverpool have the ball
07:15they're doing what Liverpool do
07:17squeezing play
07:18with a high defensive line
07:19Andre Santos is already off the mark for Chelsea away at Molineux
07:22one goal to the good on five minutes
07:25here is in Gmoa
07:27they've shown good strength there
07:29and more strength
07:32from Canvo
07:33they didn't have the best of European debuts against Aik Lanaka
07:39his mistake cost them the goal in the end but it another display where they didn't quite
07:44take the most of their moments or make the most of the possession that they had
07:49Palace look to come forward Liverpool have robbed it back and then they look to break quickly with
07:52Ngomoua for a moment he had a side of goal and then he hit it straight at the defender
07:58that was a good shooting chance early on Kerkest to put it in early and he has done for Morrison who's just got in front of Gai
08:08yeah good ball in
08:10just couldn't get it down onto the target but Ngomoua started brightly and I didn't mind that attempt
08:15just looking to
08:16to use the defender who came over
08:19Canvo
08:20just looking to bend it around his
08:23left hand side
08:24he's able to get a block on the ball but
08:26almost in a 3-4-3
08:28Liverpool
08:29Kerkest left hand side
08:31slightly different role for him
08:32and the youngster Ramsey on the right but plenty of endeavour
08:38good tempo and there'll be that unpredictability I suppose about Liverpool because
08:43Oliver Glasner would have anticipated multiple changes from the home side but
08:47a different shape
08:48players that they're going to have been learning about when they saw the team sheet
08:52that's the reality
08:52and it looks like maybe one or two surprises that Liverpool have sprung
08:57he actually did say that look it's a quick turnaround they probably won't have time to
09:01to play a different formation
09:02well they actually have tried to change it up and they've started with the
09:07real exuberance at the moment
09:09McAllister down
09:10Greg Paulson says free kit
09:12sub of the last two so he's got a bit more energy Alexis McAllister
09:18you think in this one
09:20not yet got a goal this season though
09:23Robertson can look long
09:25and Ngomoua will chase those but that's too far
09:27even for him
09:29we should be hurt by recent results and use them as motivation
09:44said Arna Slott
09:46he said the fans of course they're hurt in the club the players
09:49some of them out of the firing line tonight
09:52many of those big names rested for the test to come
09:56Benitez will go long after the short one
10:00Gomez has wrapped up in Ketia
10:05who deserves a start tonight
10:07after the impact he's made off the bench so far this season
10:10that was just too far ahead of Neone
10:14and Palace can now counter
10:16and this is where they can be much more dangerous
10:20instead the header reaches from Ngomoua
10:23and Liverpool have defended it well but his pass is a little wayward
10:26off Sosa
10:28need Croatian and behind
10:30slightly
10:32disappointed end really to a promising move
10:35Gahy stepping out with the ball
10:37very accomplished with the ball at his feet
10:40finding Pino on the left hand side just didn't get the elevation on his delivery
10:45it was easy for Liverpool to clear at the near post
10:48here they go again
10:51and that's McAllister bringing
10:52Sade out
10:54and some referees would go for the pocket with that one
10:57that's where he's such a tricky customer
11:00there's no getting back at Ismail Assal
11:02when he can get turned like that
11:03and he's driving towards an opposition's defence
11:05McAllister
11:07puts the law into his own hands
11:09I don't think it's probably a yellow card
11:11it's a bit
11:12untidy
11:13as a little grab at him
11:15and big night for McAllister
11:16not being at his level of course so far this season
11:19such an integral part of Liverpool's title victory
11:22but
11:22not easy I think playing with a bit of a niggle
11:25so
11:26getting the minutes and coming through unscathed
11:28is one of the
11:30real positives that Arna Slott will be looking for
11:33from this evening's game
11:34when you look at Palace's attacking stats
11:38they've
11:38had the most shots on target
11:40the highest expected goals in the Premier League
11:42over the first nine games
11:44they're actually underperforming that
11:45by the biggest margin though
11:47they've missed the most big chances
11:50this isn't quite that status yet
11:52but it might turn into that one
11:53set pieces have been an Achilles heel for Liverpool
11:56over the course of this difficult run
11:58even before that
11:59Borna Sosa
12:01who does have a decent left foot
12:03he's the man to address the ball and find it
12:06to the far post
12:07and it's nodded down and Liverpool have just about
12:09put it
12:10out of harm's way
12:13still play there
12:15Lacroix
12:16is one of the options
12:18shoes as the other
12:19Palace back to Munoz to come forward again with Sosa
12:26both of the wingbacks on that side at the moment
12:29Liverpool still defending
12:30now they can step out
12:32it looks like it's Gomez who's
12:34organizing that back line from the middle
12:36Kiesa
12:37into Daichi Kamada
12:39big night for many including Ramsey
12:46who's had loans away at Preston and Bolton
12:52and Wigan and Kilmana
12:52chance to impress
12:55the fifth League Cup meeting
12:57most recently
12:57in October 2005
13:00in the third round
13:00the Eagles in the championship
13:02at that time
13:03winning at Selhurst Park
13:05he's got a bright start Ramsey
13:11a lot was
13:12thought of him
13:13when he was brought in
13:15a few years ago now
13:16but been hindered by injury
13:17and obviously had to have a few loan spells
13:19which have
13:20proved quite difficult at times as well
13:22so
13:22hell of an opportunity for him this evening
13:24Tarr
13:25for Nketiah
13:26just ran into Endo
13:27and now Gomez can bring it away
13:29didn't quite
13:30find the space to turn
13:32Eddie Nketiah
13:32and get the shot away
13:35McAllister
13:37and his hip Kamada
13:38Kyrkos just narrowing off
13:43I think when
13:44Liverpool are in possession
13:45that's probably just
13:46to make sure that
13:48he's in close enough proximity
13:49with Sart
13:50if the ball does turn over
13:51just to give them a little bit
13:53more stability in there
13:54given that there's
13:56only the two natural holders
13:58side by side
13:58in this
13:5911
14:00that's pumped high
14:03from
14:04Wataru Endo
14:05guided down with a little bit
14:07of more finesse
14:07and now Robertson can bring it away
14:09and they'll invite Kyrkos to
14:11move a little further forward
14:13and Goumoa
14:14sizing things up
14:17Robertson well forward
14:20when Liverpool have the ball
14:21McAllister
14:22has to be the conductor
14:23in that little pocket
14:25if they can find space
14:26but Palace are
14:26very disciplined
14:28without the ball
14:28something Oliver Glasner's
14:30sides
14:31Wolfsburg, Frankfurt
14:32or Crystal Palace
14:33have all been that way
14:35interesting scoreline
14:36coming out of
14:37South Wales
14:37Gonzalo Franco
14:38has scored
14:39early on for Swansea
14:40in their
14:41fourth round game
14:43with Manchester City
14:44almost as if
14:55Kyrkos is just
14:56positioning himself
14:57when they're in possession
14:58kind of one of those
14:58advanced eights
15:00with McAllister
15:00as you say
15:01the one
15:01who's dropping in
15:02to try and get on the ball
15:03Neone
15:04on the right
15:05hand side
15:06advanced midfield
15:08position
15:08just different patterns
15:10just
15:11Palace trying to
15:12acclimatise
15:13probably to what
15:13Liverpool's set up
15:15indeed is tonight
15:16so many surprises
15:17I think
15:17when they saw
15:19the team sheet
15:19and even in this
15:20opening 14 minutes
15:22different patterns
15:24as play develops
15:25Kyrkos does have
15:28a little bit of space
15:29that's where they have
15:29to move it a little
15:30quicker
15:30before Palace get back
15:32in those
15:32very established
15:34positions
15:34and Gamora
15:35bypass Chiesa
15:39here was Neone
15:41for Endo
15:42and a little bit of space
15:45just shut down
15:46for Ramsey
15:47Neone again
15:48and England
15:52under 19
15:52international
15:53Robertson
16:01a little touch in field
16:02Neone moves it on
16:03quickly
16:03in between Chiesa
16:05and then Gamora
16:06with Gomez in there
16:11there's a steady head
16:12they have got an
16:13experienced back line
16:14Endo and Robertson
16:15and Gomez
16:15Craig Poulsen has given
16:19Liverpool the advantage
16:20and then Gamora
16:21looks to try and use it
16:22up against Munoz
16:24on the right
16:25oh it hasn't quite
16:26bend enough
16:26but it did
16:27have a little bit
16:29of late swerve
16:29on there
16:30seen out
16:32without too much
16:33stress by Walter
16:34Benitez
16:34good advantage
16:36Craig Poulsen
16:37it was a foul
16:38on McAllister
16:38but Leone's use
16:40of the ball
16:40when the ball
16:41was pinged into him
16:43from Robertson
16:43really nice
16:44just inviting
16:45in Gamora
16:46to be positive
16:47to go 1v1
16:48and he started
16:49well
16:49wider the target
16:51but swinging in
16:52towards that far post
16:53lovely attempt
16:54and didn't miss by much
16:55Liverpool have got
17:04the better of the
17:04recent games here
17:06five wins in the
17:07last day
17:07Palace have had
17:09a habit
17:10not just this century
17:12but the last one
17:13as well as
17:13upsetting Liverpool
17:15on big occasions
17:18FA Cup semi-finals
17:19if you go back
17:2011 years
17:20under Brendan Rodgers
17:22Liverpool look like
17:23ending that
17:23wait for a title
17:24only for Crystal Palace
17:26to come back
17:26from 3-0 down
17:27late on
17:28with just one game
17:30to go
17:30and make sure
17:32that it will be
17:32Manchester City
17:33and not Liverpool
17:35who took the title
17:37it's not just
17:37Oliver Glasner
17:38that has made
17:39Crystal Palace
17:40a real thorn
17:40in Liverpool's side
17:41but he's done it
17:42effectively
17:43not in the results
17:44just those
17:45but the way
17:46they've played
17:46the way they've
17:47outplayed Liverpool
17:48for long spells
17:51in games
17:51when he's been
17:52the Crystal Palace
17:53coach
17:54there goes
17:55Nketiah
17:55Sosa
17:59who wins the
18:02corner
18:03Nketiah's been
18:05peripheral to this
18:06point but
18:07going to be
18:07interesting to see
18:08how he does
18:08tonight
18:09playing as a
18:09nine
18:09he's come on
18:10and affected
18:11things in a
18:12great way
18:12playing as one
18:13of the support
18:14attackers
18:16to Mateta
18:17so leading the
18:18line tonight
18:19and able to
18:20get hold of it
18:21there
18:21far corner
18:22another set
18:23piece opportunity
18:24again
18:24somewhere where
18:25Liverpool have
18:26struggled notably
18:28on a couple of
18:28occasions
18:29so
18:30combo
18:30Lacroix
18:31and a man
18:32Liverpool
18:32chased and chased
18:34in the summer
18:34Mark Gay
18:35are in there
18:36Kamada's delivery
18:37is into the
18:37far post
18:38where Lacroix
18:39is making a
18:40nuisance of
18:40himself
18:41but it isn't
18:42going to go
18:43Palace's way
18:43and Lacroix
18:44got free
18:45a few moments
18:45to go
18:46from
18:46the maiden
18:48free kick
18:48of the game
18:49and here
18:50Kerkers
18:52trying to block
18:53him I think
18:54initially
18:54but McAllister
18:55and Kerkers
18:56stuck to their
18:56task well
18:57there
18:57Kerkers
19:00has been
19:00saying
19:01well hasn't
19:01he as well
19:02balls into the
19:02box and
19:03goals that have
19:04gone against
19:04Liverpool
19:05on a couple
19:06of occasions
19:06he's
19:07hoping for a
19:08good game
19:09tonight
19:09Gomez
19:11with a little
19:12block
19:13to ease it
19:14back to
19:14Freddie Woodman
19:15there's another
19:21foul
19:23on that
19:23right-hand
19:24side
19:24one for
19:25Crystal Palace
19:26almost 20 minutes
19:27in already
19:27Bourna Sosa
19:28feeling the
19:29effect of
19:30that one
19:30never quite
19:34settled down
19:35during his
19:36time at
19:37Ajax
19:37Palace
19:47Palace have
19:48taken it
19:48quickly
19:48rather than
19:49popping it
19:49forward
19:50here's
19:51Convo
19:51could have
19:53been a
19:53decent run
19:54a decent
19:55ball if
19:55Munoz had
19:56made that
19:56little run
19:57gave him
19:58the big
19:59build-up
19:59we're not
19:59seeing
19:59Munoz
20:00too much
20:00in an
20:01attacking
20:01sense
20:02almost 20
20:03minutes in
20:03it's a
20:04difficult pass
20:05to execute
20:06through the
20:07eye of the
20:07needle

20:09comfortably
20:10enough to
20:10Woodman
20:10will be
20:11pleased and
20:13feeling a little
20:15bit of relief
20:15that he's
20:16probably not
20:16been called
20:16into action
20:17early part of
20:18this game
20:18first appearance
20:20for him
20:20since the
20:21middle of
20:22March

20:26last aid of
20:26last season

20:48shoulder of
20:48Roberts

20:49he'll have
20:49to check
20:49again
20:50another
20:51dart
20:52from
20:54Pinot
20:54who hasn't
20:56seen much
20:56of the ball
20:56so far
20:57he's trying
20:57to get
20:57away from
20:58Endo at
20:58the moment
20:58here he
20:59is
20:59Jeremy
20:59Pinot
21:00that's
21:04one from
21:04Ketya

21:05Gomez
21:06to use
21:07his
21:07strength
21:07Ramsey
21:09Liverpool
21:13have just
21:13about tidied
21:14up
21:14looking
21:15solid
21:15in their
21:15shape
21:15looking
21:16organised
21:16well drilled
21:17Liverpool
21:18nice movement
21:19from Pinot
21:19taking the
21:20defender away
21:21showing defeat
21:22but having to
21:23work hard
21:24to connect
21:24the midfield
21:25and the
21:26front three
21:27at present
21:28and after
21:29a vibrant
21:30start from
21:30Liverpool
21:31no question
21:32it's subsided
21:33somewhat
21:33it's
21:51it is the usual
21:53remembrance of
21:55Diogojota
21:55all around
21:57all around
21:57Anfield
21:57here go Palace
22:06with Sartre
22:06and he's got
22:08a lot of
22:08space to run
22:09into
22:09now he's got
22:10Nketio making a
22:10dart to the
22:11near post
22:11he pulled it
22:12back where
22:13Gomez was
22:13waiting
22:14here's Kamada
22:14Hughes
22:19Hughes
22:19down the left
22:31hand side
22:31goes
22:31Mark
22:32Gay
22:32and he's
22:33bounced back
22:34up
22:34Ramsey
22:35Endo
22:40pinched it
22:41away
22:41the long
22:43ball was
22:43on from
22:43Gamora
22:44but
22:44Munoz has
22:44patrolled
22:45that one
22:46well
22:46the ball's
22:47on again
22:47Chiesa
22:48down the
22:48middle
22:48and Gamora
22:49here
22:49Liverpool have
22:51slowed it
22:51down instead
22:52and they
22:53look to
22:53McAllister
22:53to try
22:54and move
22:55them forward
22:56and Gamora
22:57was level
22:59with Chiesa
23:00so there was
23:00not going
23:01to be
23:01anybody
23:01a little
23:02further
23:02forward
23:03to aim
23:03for
23:03I think
23:05the pass
23:07was intended
23:07for Morrison
23:08over on
23:08the far
23:08side
23:09but again
23:09it was
23:09a very
23:10difficult
23:10one
23:10to execute
23:12a bright
23:13start
23:14from the
23:14home
23:14side
23:14Palace
23:15responding
23:16very
23:16very
23:16even
23:16I would
23:17say
23:17currently
23:18and that
23:20initial
23:20surprise
23:21element
23:21having
23:22subsided
23:22the game's
23:23even
23:24and that's
23:25long forward
23:26for Chiesa
23:26who will
23:27get there
23:27and Chiesa
23:29making his
23:29way around
23:30the defenders
23:30and popping
23:31it over
23:31it's good
23:33strong play
23:33from Federico
23:34Chiesa
23:34who looks
23:36second favorite
23:36when the ball
23:38was initially
23:38played over
23:39but he made
23:39it his
23:40it's almost
23:42as if he read
23:43the bounce
23:44better than
23:44his Crystal
23:45Palace
23:45counterparts
23:46and the
23:46choir was
23:46actually slow
23:47to react
23:48possible
23:50tug there
23:51from Canvo
23:52but
23:52looked like
23:54it was going
23:55to be
23:55penalized
23:56and it's a
23:57clear sight
23:58of goal
23:58on his
23:58left foot
23:59he'd be
24:00frustrated
24:00he couldn't
24:00get that
24:01onto the
24:01target
24:01and what
24:05happened
24:05in the
24:05build-up
24:05as Liverpool
24:06picked up
24:07an injury
24:08midway through
24:09this first
24:09half
24:09the first
24:10shot in
24:10anger
24:11from Federico
24:11Chiesa
24:12chance for a
24:15little bit
24:15more advice
24:16from Arna
24:17Slott
24:18who must
24:18be pretty
24:18happy
24:19with the
24:19wayside
24:20have settled
24:20having not
24:20played together
24:21before
24:22yeah I
24:22think so
24:22first minute
24:23of the
24:23game
24:24a little
24:24bit
24:24hesitancy
24:25maybe
24:25communication
24:27issues
24:28defensively
24:28a few
24:29balls
24:29went
24:29astray
24:30but
24:30they've
24:31been
24:31pretty
24:32smooth
24:33and
24:33effective
24:35with the
24:36ball
24:36and without
24:37probably just
24:38that one
24:38moment a few
24:39minutes ago
24:40when Saar got
24:411v1 up against
24:42Robertson
24:42that's clearly
24:43something they're
24:43not going to want
24:44to happen
24:44Robertson
24:45getting isolated
24:461v1 especially
24:47up against Saar
24:48with Kerkes
24:48out of the
24:50picture momentarily
24:51and here
24:51it took an age
24:53really to react
24:53to Mr.
24:55Palace central
24:55defenders
24:56and Chiesa
24:56with his
24:57quality in
24:58either foot
24:58really
24:59once it
25:00got sat
25:02and he
25:02bypassed
25:03Crystal Palace
25:06outside the
25:07centre-half
25:08he should be
25:08hitting the
25:09target
25:09frustratingly for
25:10Liverpool
25:10that's probably
25:11the golden
25:12chance of the
25:12game thus far
25:13the
25:16first test for
25:17Canvo
25:17who had
25:18an awkward
25:19moment
25:20against
25:20Aik Lanaka
25:21in their
25:21first home
25:22European tie
25:23made his
25:23debut
25:24against
25:24Millwall
25:25in the
25:25previous round
25:26here is
25:28Munoz
25:28that was a
25:30game that
25:31needed penalties
25:31after a
25:321-all draw
25:32Richard's got
25:33the goal
25:33he's unavailable
25:34with a car
25:34problem
25:35tonight
25:35Palace
25:36and Liverpool
25:38are players
25:38down Munoz
25:39is going to
25:40need treatment
25:41by the looks
25:42of it
25:42he talked
25:49about
25:50runs in
25:50behind
25:51Liverpool's
25:52defensive line
25:52those balls in
25:53behind the
25:54fullbacks
25:54which Arna
25:55Slott
25:55has been
25:56trying to
25:57react to
25:57and Liverpool
25:58have been
25:58trying to
25:58react to
25:59well it
25:59makes it a
25:59little different
26:00doesn't it
26:00because he
26:01would have
26:01expected that
26:02back four
26:02yeah absolutely
26:03and yeah even
26:05tonight there
26:06would have been
26:06different personnel
26:07had it been a
26:08back four but
26:08yeah it's something
26:10to keep an eye on
26:10I think across the
26:11next few games
26:12because the want
26:13of Kirk Ares
26:14and Fring Pong
26:15for example is
26:16clearly to start
26:17high and wide
26:18and if they
26:20haven't got that
26:20that control of
26:22the football if
26:22it's given away
26:23in the midfield
26:24if it's
26:25Sobos Light
26:26McAllister
26:26a another I
26:28think just in
26:28transition they're
26:29looking a little
26:30bit open
26:30at the moment
26:31and listen I'm
26:32sure they can
26:33get a lot done
26:33on the training
26:34ground even
26:34though some of
26:35the bigger hitters
26:35are not out
26:36there tonight
26:37it's probably
26:38going to be a
26:39lot of work
26:40on the training
26:40ground to try
26:41and fix
26:42these slight
26:43issues that
26:43are bugging
26:44the Liverpool
26:46supporters at
26:47the moment
26:47the necessity
26:49to get all of
26:49them out there
26:50tonight
26:50yeah probably
26:52not great
26:53and an
26:55opportunity for
26:56some on the
26:57periphery and
26:57obviously some
26:58of the younger
26:58guys to get a
26:59run out
26:59that's how it
27:02happened Pino
27:03peeing the ball
27:03over that side
27:05Munoz got a whack
27:06on the chin
27:07and in the mouth
27:07by the looks
27:08of it
27:08it's been pretty
27:14animated
27:14demonstrative
27:17he said he'd take
27:19plenty from the
27:19first half of the
27:20last game against
27:20Liverpool into
27:21this one
27:22maybe not the
27:23second where they
27:24gave them too many
27:24chances but
27:25certainly the way
27:27it played out
27:27for his side
27:28I don't think
27:33they're as fluid
27:35as he would like
27:36them so far
27:37Munoz thankfully
27:39looks okay
27:40he has been
27:46arguably the best
27:48wingback in the
27:49Premier League
27:49so far the most
27:50sprints in the
27:50Premier League
27:51since the start
27:52of last season
27:53most
27:54well he's topped
27:55most of the
27:55stats for a
27:56defender
27:56most of the
27:57attacking stats
27:57that you'd
27:58associate with
27:58a defender
27:59goal contributions
28:00and chances
28:01created from
28:02open play
28:03even touches
28:03in the
28:03opposition box
28:04Endo a little
28:12bowled over
28:13by Pino
28:13he's the only
28:15one in the
28:16gloves on
28:16it's not too
28:19chilly a night
28:20for this time
28:20of year
28:21Chelsea
28:21two up
28:22now
28:23Tarek George
28:23here's Ngomor
28:24Ngomor
28:26dancing one
28:27way
28:27getting that
28:27right-footed
28:28space
28:28now finding
28:29the space
28:29for Chiesa
28:30who pops it
28:31all the way
28:32across
28:32well guarded
28:33at the near
28:33post by
28:33Benitez
28:34Palace were
28:35drawn to
28:36the ball
28:36and suddenly
28:37a nice lot
28:38of space
28:39here for
28:39Chiesa
28:39opened up
28:40yeah plenty
28:41of players
28:41in support
28:42Ngomor
28:42I thought
28:43was going
28:43to let
28:44fly once
28:44more
28:44but I
28:45think it's
28:45the right
28:46decision
28:46to look
28:46for a
28:47teammate
28:47slightly
28:47over here
28:48and I
28:48think
28:48Chiesa
28:49is well
28:49within his
28:49right to
28:50shoot
28:50from there
28:50looking in
28:52support
28:52square
28:52Munoz is
28:57back on
28:58now
28:58who would
28:58have been
28:58there
28:59plugging
28:59the gap
28:59in the
29:02immediate aerial
29:03challenge for him
29:03to deal with
29:04Kierke is looking for the option
29:18Nione
29:19made half a yard to try and get there
29:22a little interchange and exchange
29:24of places between McAllister and Chiesa
29:27doesn't really open things up
29:29second appearance for this man
29:34who was the man between the posts in that third round tie
29:39draw will be later on tonight
29:42after the evening's final game
29:45he's just wanting to draw Liverpool out
30:00they're not biting
30:00and Ketia who came a long way
30:10deep to try and pick that one up
30:12they've tried to return the ball to Eddie
30:13and Ketia
30:14and Kallista
30:16and Nione
30:17had a play by Ramsey
30:25he also did well
30:29scored in that under-21s Merseyside derby
30:31against Everton
30:32signed initially from Aberdeen
30:34three summers ago
30:36unable to break through as yet
30:44approaching the half hour
30:49here come Palace
30:50approaching Liverpool territory
30:52and Pino has found space
30:55up against Gomez who gets the block
30:57but Jeremy Pino has it again
30:58he's trying to find Will Hughes
31:00and he does
31:00and he's caught it sweetly
31:02and it's good positioning from Woodman
31:05a nice little bit of involvement from Pino
31:08who could have been found slightly earlier
31:10in that Palace attack
31:11really nice touch from Chiesa
31:13great distribution from Woodman
31:14he's showed real strength
31:16Chiesa to keep a hold of the ball
31:17he needs support
31:17nobody is making their way
31:19any closer to him
31:21he's probably within his rights
31:25to turn round and say
31:26a little help here
31:27would have been appreciated
31:27he did terrifically well
31:30that Palace back five
31:32was in situ
31:35Will Hughes as well
31:36snapping at his heels
31:37and he rode one or two challenges
31:38and rightly pulled back
31:41I think for that initial
31:42sliding challenge
31:43Pino's best bit of involvement
31:46maybe it's a good pick out this one
31:48and Hughes on his left foot
31:49not always going to be confident
31:50just had a deflection
31:52to take the sting out of it
31:53but Woodman was comfortable
31:54so it is a Liverpool free kick
31:58half an hour in
31:58Andy Robertson's left foot
32:00is going to be the weapon here
32:01it's a little too long
32:03they've done well Palace
32:06when Liverpool have got there
32:08they've held them up
32:09rather than risk conceding
32:11any set-piece opportunities
32:19in terms of possession though
32:26it hasn't been the regular split
32:28you'd see
32:29with normally
32:30a game at Anfield
32:31between Liverpool and the visitors
32:32it's at 45-55
32:34in Liverpool's favour at the moment
32:36Palace have had a decent amount of the ball
32:38and been able to
32:38to build up with it
32:40rather than playing
32:41always in transition
32:43here is a long throw opportunity though
32:49which Liverpool
32:50had issues with
32:52against Brentford
32:53international FA board
32:59have been
32:59suggesting they might look at timings
33:02for long throws
33:03given how long the ball is out of play
33:05in them at the moment
33:05the same way that it's been brought in
33:07for goalkeepers
33:07Pinot
33:11with a lovely little touch
33:12to bring it down
33:13out of the sky
33:13and swivel away from Nione
33:15there's the cross
33:16into Saar
33:17and Woodman got his body
33:18in the way
33:19still there for Palace
33:22who can
33:23pop it back in
33:24stretch from Gomez
33:27Sosa
33:31not quite as proficient
33:32on the right
33:33as he is on the left
33:34and here come Liverpool
33:34on the break
33:36and Gamora
33:37helped onto Kerkers
33:40now Chiesa
33:41once again
33:42not too many red shirts
33:43for him to aim at
33:44nobody
33:45making a dart
33:46into the box
33:46McAllister
33:48and all the way back
33:58yeah he's done some good work
34:00in Gamora
34:00on the left hand side
34:01but it's all been
34:02in front of Palace
34:03in truth
34:04Chiesa's had that one dart
34:05in behind
34:06but
34:06yeah you want to see
34:07Palace's back line
34:08just be stretched a little bit more
34:09I think Chiesa
34:10has had a tendency
34:11early part of this game
34:12just to come to feet
34:13and probably look to try
34:14and get involved
34:15and build the plate
34:16there's another
34:18good ball over the top
34:19for Morrison
34:19who's taken it down
34:20now he does need support here
34:22Morrison looking to cut it in
34:23and they found them
34:25and they found them
34:26well when there has been space
34:28and that is going to be a free kick
34:30for Crystal Palace
34:30on Pinot
34:31right on Q
34:33brilliant movement
34:34gets in
34:35I just thought maybe
34:36he could have been a bit more proactive
34:37get it onto that left foot
34:39and get his strike away
34:40looking square where
34:41Palace were
34:42well represented
34:45lovely switch of play
34:47absolutely sleeping
34:49Crystal Palace
34:50on that side
34:51Sosa I think
34:52he's a good 10 yards
34:53maybe
34:54behind
34:55when he takes
34:57receipt of the ball
34:58Morrison sorry
34:59I've just thought he could be
35:00a little bit more positive there
35:02once he came infield
35:02on his left foot
35:03here's Munoz
35:07being very positive
35:08springing forward
35:21here is Endo
35:35Muldman got it away
35:41just in time
35:51Hughes for Gay
35:54might have been lining up here
35:57in very different colours
35:59had things gone
36:01Liverpool's way in the summer
36:03here's Sosa
36:03Gomez had to watch the bounce
36:06but he's only conceded a corner
36:07couldn't bring it under control
36:09and dispatch it
36:1010 minutes to go
36:13Crystal Palace
36:15with another set piece opportunity
36:16turning the score a little
36:18probing
36:19Liverpool more
36:20counter-attacking threat
36:21currently
36:22in this half
36:23but
36:23too much
36:25to concern
36:26Freddie Woodman
36:27the usual suspects
36:35are there for Crystal Palace
36:37Gay
36:37Lacroix
36:39Convo
36:40Camada has gone short
36:41Hughes to line up
36:42a different angle
36:43plenty of height
36:44on that one
36:45Gay very nearly
36:47was able to do something
36:49with it
36:49McAllister
36:50gets lucky
36:52pops it out
36:53against the Palace
36:53player
36:54plenty of instruction
37:04needed
37:05the side that
37:06can only have trained
37:07together
37:07for a couple of
37:09sessions at most
37:10here's
37:24Zadaichi Kamara again
37:25Convo
37:30there's a real tussle
37:32there's a real tussle here
37:32for Nketiah to get the ball
37:35and get it he does
37:36laid back for the
37:38Japanese international
37:39there's the header
37:39and it's well claimed
37:41in the end by Woodman
37:43had to get
37:43a lot of power on that
37:45and Ismailu
37:45and Ismail Issa
38:06giveaway
38:073 goals in his
38:09for games for Crystal Palace against Liverpool.
38:12Here is Morrison, meanwhile.
38:13Hits Will Hughes.
38:16And Morrison's got a little bit of space here.
38:18Just as he was about to pull the trigger,
38:20in slides Borna Sosa.
38:22And a valuable interception.
38:25Hughes moving his way around Craig Pawson.
38:31And now Palace can move their way forward.
38:34And Ketia, it is interchanging.
38:39Lacroix, who liked Kamada as a player Klasner had in Germany.
38:49He knew he'd be absolutely perfect when Joachim Andersson left the club.
38:54There's a lovely little slide draw.
38:55Oh, and Ketia's touch.
38:58Well, it would have been sublime for Sartre if he'd read it.
39:02Really in close proximity, the front three here,
39:05when they're filled almost five yards between the three of them.
39:09But potentially, he may have just drifted into an offside position there.
39:13So it's very intricate what Nketia's trying to implement there.
39:21Well, Liverpool have survived the early stages.
39:25I say survived, it's not a very Liverpool-like trait
39:29to have been vulnerable early in games.
39:31Brentford scored on five minutes.
39:34Manchester United on two.
39:36Chelsea inside the first 15.
39:38And Galatasaray two.
39:39And Palace and Sartre.
39:41Here, scored on nine minutes.
39:43There's no foul there.
39:44Which you might have expected.
39:49A slight mistake by Robertson once more.
39:52And again, Sartre looks to be in business.
39:55But I think it goes down too easily there.
39:57But Kerkhez gets a little bit of contact into him
39:59until he gets a full-to ground.
40:13Kerkhez with the clearance.
40:14It's ricocheted nicely for Nketia here.
40:17He doesn't have anybody to aim for at the moment.
40:19But he has earned Palace a corner.
40:22Or has he?
40:22No.
40:29Quickly taken.
40:31And here's Joe Gomez.
40:35Played it up to Morrison.
40:37Leone.
40:50Kerkhez burst through himself.
40:52Almost worked perfectly there.
40:58Kerkhez coming infield.
40:59Involved in the build-up.
41:00Drawing Munoz towards him.
41:03And therefore, leaving.
41:06Munoz 1v1 up against Canvo.
41:08Just can't quite get released there.
41:10But certainly something they're looking to utilise.
41:12That's driven in towards Munoz.
41:14And snapped up by Sartre.
41:16And just like that,
41:18in two quick passes,
41:19Crystal Palace have the lead.
41:22Ismail Asar does it against Liverpool once again.
41:27And as soon as they upped the tempo,
41:30they found the breakthrough.
41:34It's been a game of a few chances, really.
41:39That's the best sight of goal for Crystal Palace from a considerable distance.
41:43Lack of intensity from Liverpool, really.
41:46Nobody coming towards the ball.
41:48Fortunate ricochet.
41:49Of Gomez, really forceful run, you've got to say from Munoz.
41:53In off the right-hand side.
41:54Trying to get into a scoring position.
41:56Trying to hurt Liverpool.
41:59Gomez has got to do better there, I think.
42:00He can sort his feet out.
42:01He can clear his lines.
42:02And he just sets it up.
42:04Tees it up, really.
42:05For Sartre.
42:05And he's not going to turn down that type of opportunity.
42:08The form that he's been in since the start of the season.
42:11On his swinger.
42:11But finds enough contact and direction to give Palace the lead.
42:17It's another defensive mistake for Liverpool.
42:19But it is a clinical finish once again from Ismail Asar.
42:24First clear-cut chance of the game.
42:28And Palace were ruthless.
42:29No clean sheet on his debut for Liverpool's Freddie Wardman.
42:41A game which had looked pretty balanced.
42:45Which was pretty balanced.
42:48Once again.
42:49Just those little moments of composure or lack of it.
42:53They looked like they felt safe in their shape there, Liverpool.
42:57And nobody really went and closed the ball initially.
43:01Credit Munoz for his little dart.
43:04A little bit of good fortune.
43:05But I think Gomez could do better.
43:07But not quite the fortune needed there.
43:15Ramsey cutting in.
43:17Morrison was there too.
43:31Can't find him well, doesn't he, really?
43:34Mjolsen was a loose touch from him.
43:37Equally so from Gomez.
43:39And it's a nice finish from Ismail Asar.
43:43Sticks it away well.
43:46He just loves playing against Liverpool.
43:50Finds the net with real regularity.
43:59Did so in the community shield as well.
44:01Here they come again.
44:02Here they come again.
44:04Palace on the break.
44:05Sar goes one way.
44:06And Ketia probably holds onto it too long.
44:09And then goes down.
44:13He's still down.
44:14Protesting his case to the referee.
44:20Kamada.
44:22Two minutes to go.
44:23I think if he'd released that earlier.
44:26Tried to play a 1-2 with Sar.
44:28Might have served him better.
44:30Here's Hughes.
44:32Certainly untidy, wasn't it?
44:34Ramsey, I think, all the way over in a left-back position momentarily.
44:38Well, Gomez has missed that one over the top.
44:39Pino.
44:40Can't do much with it.
44:42Except prevent the goal kick.
44:43There was actually another loose touch.
44:45Horrible mistake from Gomez.
44:47Which set Crystal Palace away there.
44:48And had Nketia been a little bit more forceful, maybe.
44:53And they could have been in for an even better opportunity.
44:56There, Gomez has missed his kick.
44:57That's a lovely pass there.
44:59Kamada, I think.
45:00And he just hesitated.
45:01Had to slip in Sar to his right.
45:03And once he'd done that.
45:05Ramsey did well.
45:06But it's a little clumsy.
45:08Maybe had a little swing at him there.
45:12But I think Nketia, again, possibly just going to ground a little too easily.
45:16But worth a shout.
45:18And a slight let-off for the home side.
45:25We'll find out shortly just how much stoppage time these two will contest.
45:31Palace on the up after that goal late in this first half.
45:36Canva.
45:38Sosa.
45:52Kamada.
45:53Just sitting deep.
45:55Spraying the passes around.
45:57On Gamora.
45:58Had a bright start.
46:00Haven't seen enough of him, really, in the last 15 minutes or so.
46:03Moved on quickly again.
46:04Pino.
46:05Or clever reverse ball.
46:06Sar is all the way through.
46:09It's another brilliant finish.
46:14Super reverse ball from Pino.
46:16Slapped the defenders in.
46:17Popped it the other way.
46:19And suddenly, Liverpool are in real trouble.
46:22A big one-two combination from Ismail Assar late in the first half.
46:29And Palace have breathing space.
46:33Well, there's no doubt when he gets in that it's going to end in the back of the net.
46:36Because he's in such a big one-to-end.
46:37Because he's in such brilliant form.
46:39And he has been for such a period of time now.
46:42But Pino's yet to really catch fire at Crystal Palace.
46:49But there, it's his pass, which is a wonder.
46:52Fantastic stuff from him.
46:54Initially, beautiful stuff from Kamada once more.
46:58It's just ripped through the heart of Liverpool.
47:02Swift, incisive passing.
47:04That touch is excellent to open up the target.
47:07And then he just steers it to the left.
47:11As we look, it's a lovely little finish.
47:14Just elevates it as well to make absolutely sure.
47:17Five goals in five games for Palace against Liverpool now for Ismail Assar.
47:28And suddenly, the long trip in midway.
47:32And he's turning into a very enjoyable experience in the Merseyside rain.
47:36It was pretty even for a good 35 minutes.
47:40And Arna Slott has got the harder of the two halftime team talks.
47:47And Gamora.
48:00Both the Yankees that haven't really featured in the last ten minutes.
48:04And here goes Assar on a hat-trick.
48:07Assar just waiting for the support.
48:08And again, he tries that little ball.
48:12Ramsey.
48:13Ramsey fouled by Pina.
48:17Not much contact, but just enough.
48:22He plays a huge part in the goal.
48:24And he's threatened on a few occasions, I think, in this first half.
48:28He's not had loads of the ball in the final third.
48:31But what he has done has been really neat and tidy.
48:33His movement's been inventive.
48:34He's always moving, trying to get into the pocket where he can get turned.
48:40And I think finally saw it in that conference game away from home a few weeks ago.
48:48And he provided a couple of assists.
48:49But in the Premier League, he's been a bit of a peripheral figure.
48:54So, all of a sudden, I think the Crystal Palace fans are absolutely seeing what Pina is all about.
48:59He's got his first international goal this month for Spey.
49:10It's just going to stay in.
49:11McAllister.
49:241-0 would have been tricky, but not insurmountable.
49:282-0.
49:30And a second home defeat of the season is an awful lot more likely.
49:34Manchester United, at the moment, the only side who have come to Anfield and won.
49:38Five other wins from Liverpool, six games.
49:43Only one defeat in 11.
49:47Neone, McAllister.
49:49That's moved on quickly for Chiesa.
49:53Now Riongamoa.
49:58Neone.
50:00McAllister, forceful.
50:02They just haven't really tested Walter Benitez, though.
50:05One shot on target compared to five for Palace.
50:11Yeah, almost as if it took Palace, what, 35 minutes or so to work out how to cause Liverpool problems this evening.
50:18And that front three, really compact, I think, for the two goals and for some of the chances prior to opening the scoring.
50:26I just feel like they've been close to proximity.
50:30They've been able to get the ball in there because there's not been the pressure on the ball.
50:33Camarda, he's been the orchestrator of a few of the Palace opportunities.
50:37Indeed, the goals.
50:39The front player's able to link.
50:41One and two touch.
50:42Liverpool very much not equal to it.
50:46Good value for their lead.
50:48I'm not sure it's been a 2-0 first half, but Palace will take it.
50:53And in a very commanding position, especially with the big hitters that they've got up their sleeve in contrast to what Liverpool can turn to on their bench.
51:00Yeah, no contingency plan in terms of a big name among Liverpool's replacements tonight.
51:13That's the five minutes up.
51:23Gamora's come short.
51:24Might be a chance for one last Liverpool attack, if they can make it a quick one.
51:30They've gone quickly for Kerkhez with a return ball from Chies.
