Grounded out a victory. Games at Selhurst Park are never easy but we got the three points and that's all that matters. The penalty decision had no effect on the result. Palace only created one big chance after they scored. We got off to a flyer in the first thirty minutes with a blistering header from Virgil and a beautiful team goal finished off by Ox. After that we got a little bit sloppy with our passing before half time, which led to Palace getting a couple of chances. Then they came out all guns blazing in the first fifteen of the second half which lead to them getting a couple chances, prior to their goal. But after that we were resolute in keeping the ball as far away as possible from our goal. Alisson was absolutely amazing. Trent was OK. Matip played a few loose passes. VVD's headed goal was faster than a speeding bullet. Robbo got two assists. Fabinho took his penalty beautifully. Hendo was OK. Curtis was fine. Jota was decent. Firmino wasn't bad. Ox finished his goal ruthlessly. Minamino was OK. Klopp's trademark rock n Roll football is exciting, but we just need to manage our games just a little bit better once we take the lead, and bring down the tempo to a rock ballad sometimes. It's great to close the gap on Man City, despite Mane, Keita and Salah being at AFCON. Now that they'll be back soon, we just need to keep the momentum going, and if we're lucky we'll hopefully win at least one, if not more than the League Cup, Champions League, FA Cup and/or Champions League.
