Klopp’s men crashed against the Crystal Palace defense
The ‘red’ team sent two balls to the post and could not score
Liverpool rowed and rowed to take the three points, but the insistence had no reward for Jurgen Klopp’s men. The ‘red’ sent two balls to the wood and remained unmarked, drawing to zero against a Crystal Palace that also offered a good version.The stifling pressure of Londoners It was an unequivocal sign of the game from the start, making it impossible for Liverpool to play clearly. In this context, the set piece was called to be the perfect degreaser, and it was about to be. Matip served to the far suit and Jack found the woodin a finish with the head with practically no angle.

The replica of Crystal Palace arrived at the edge of the intermission, in the best occasion for the locals in the entire match. Schlupp stole the wallet from an innocent Alexander-Arnold, and Mateta anticipated the first post to finish off with his left foot directly to the crossbar.
The passage through changing rooms could have been key for Liverpool, especially if two minutes after the restart a regular shot from Salah, with the inside of his left foot looking for the far post, I wouldn’t have ended up on the crossbar. It was Liverpool’s second ball to the wood in the match.
Midway through the second half, Klopp tried to shake up the team with the changes, but nothing seemed to revive a Liverpool that in the end ended up trying with more heart than head, without Guaita having to save Palace. The clearest was Gakpo, but his shot against the Spanish goalkeeper did not find the target.
