The defending on that Wilson goal is hideous. Early days but seeing West Ham the last two weeks they have reminded me of Mccarthy Wolves defensively in the sense they have two cbs pushed on who clearly aren't comfortable doing that, hence the awful back tracking and angles they took to the ball.
Think most logical fans would take that and be delighted Lee, need to be a bit smarter about the chances they give away as been fairly solid but conceded through errors that should be fairly coachable for 3 of 4 goals. Hit the post again and sounds like Traore has played well and looked a...
Plenty of time to adjust yet but today sounds like my worries coming to fruition early. Lack of quality at the back resulting in Leicester scoring what dont even sound like chances they've created, but been gifted.
Rude awakening.
Think we will score today but worried our defence won't be up to the standard needed so will need reinforcements in Jan.
Sounds like Traore is ready for involvement today but apparently Dendoncker is still unfit/unready so will be an unchanged side from last week I imagine.
Just checked your head to head (prem) played 18, Liverpool 10 wins, Palace 5, draws 3.
Thought it would have been more even than that as like you associate Palace as a bit of a bogey team for Liverpool.
With City up next after this there is a very real possibility that we end the first 3 games with 1 point. My worry about this is still that Doherty and Bennett side. Thought Bennett was solid enough although would like to see Vinagre start and Jonny flipped to the right.

Personally think it's a brilliant spot by the ref, although let himself down with the placement, not that it matters as Neves would have just scored anyway...
Touching the ball and winning the ball are different though, his lunge causes him to recklessly take more man than ball, I like Jag but some of this is cultural from us as British fans, he shows terrible technical ability to miss control and hasnt opened his body up to receive the balk, he then...
Context is everything, plenty of time to settle into the league. All other promoted sides lost, Wolves look like they have the talent for the like, very unsure on Bennett and Doherty as long term options but Vinagre looked good, I'd keep him left and go Otto right, liked what I saw from him...
Wolves had the hardest fixture of the promoted sides and got a point, played okay mainly, we have Leicester and the. Man City up so today's point and some nervy apprehension is understandable.
