The Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

29 October 2016 2782 comments

Saturday’s events conclude at Selhurst Park where Crystal Palace host Jurgen Klopp’s buoyant Liverpool side.

Goals certainly look on the agenda – Palace are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, while Klopp’s defence are without a shut-out on the road in ten away trips.

Christian Benteke will carry the Eagles’ threat against his former club, while Liverpool’s likely benefactors are far more difficult to pin down.

Philippe Coutinho heads into the encounter having earned more than 174,000 transfers in as the most popular target ahead of Gameweek 10.

However, James Milner won’t be featuring on the scoresheet: he misses out having missed training this week with a virus. Alberto Moreno comes in at left-back for the visitors – a potential weak point that will no doubt be targeted by Alan Pardew’s men.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          Completely agree

          But last season, we topped the league near this point, then we collapsed
          I much prefer seeing Mourinhos Utd than either of them

        I said before, Hendo makes sense because he doesn't lose the ball and plays as a deep playmaker so creates chances, tackles, intercepts etc so one assist and he's up there for BAPs.

        Coutinho loses BAPs each time he is dispossessed or misses a big chance, like the pull back from Mane he missed.
