Because we don’t want the children in Liverpool boosting cars and going for a joyride AND using their mobiles at the same time!!

I think he’ll keep the same team as on Saturday but play more conservatively. If you push up against Liverpool they are ruthless on the counter with the pace of the front 3. Also they like to get Robertson in advanced positions from where he is an excellent crosser of the ball. With this in mind when defending I’d have a compact 5 across the middle with Schlupp tucked in a bit and and Wilf drifting to the left. When attacking I’d encourage PVA to break forward where he has a good understanding with Wilf to get at the right side of Liverpool’s defence.

Expecting the same eleven , but very narrow when they have the ball , to stop them playing in triangles, then hit the wings when we break. When the ball goes up to Benteke he needs to make it stick and wait for help. He owes us a big performance. Need to sit deeper than West Ham, playing a high line against the fastest attackers in the league was a joke. Score draw.

Certain it’ll be an unchanged line up.
Only change I’d consider is bringing Kouyate in to tighten up the midfield. If I did, and we won’t as it’ll be an unchanged side. But if I did i’d think Schlupp dropping to the bench. In either of the following formations.
Hennessey
Wan-Bissaka-Tomkins-Sakho-Van Aanholt
——-Milivojevic------
Townsend-—Kouyate—McArthur—-Zaha
Benteke
Or:
Hennessey
Wan-Bissaka-Tomkins-Sakho-Van Aanholt
Townsend—Milivojevic—Kouyate—McArthur
——Zaha
Benteke —

Far be it for me to tell the mods what to do but this post surely deserves a yellow card. Utter tosh.

Seems odd that people want to drop Hennessey after he has been playing superbly since the closing stages of last season. And they also want Max Meyer in the team immediately, although he's not match fit,and they've never even seen him play before. It's illogical to change the team that performed so well at Fulham.

Been said by others but this team is ridiculous. Wayne had a great game and Macca did nothing wrong. Why drop them when the team won well, besides Meyer is unlikely to be fit and has done nothing to earn a start. What sort of message does that send to the team that you can lose your place after a good performance and a win.

Agree with you but thankfully Roy, with help from Ray, pick the team and not some of the posters on here.

I've not seen anything to suggest that Roy will change a winning team.
Personally I wouldn't change it either, Andros seems to be great at covering AWB. On the other flank, Schlupp is a left back anyway so no worries defence-wise there. That leaves Macca and Luka, nobody argues that Luka shouldn't play so that leaves Macca. Anyone want to suggest that Macca can't do any damn job that Roy asks of him needs to go away and watch some rewinds back. Macca is underrated and understands how the team works, exactly what we need against Liverpool.

you don't sign players like Meyer to stick them on the bench. In any event we need a passer in midfield, despite the win I thought we weren't great in the middle on the ball and someone like Meyer can help us control a game and keep possession more while finding the players between the lines to make things happen
when he's match fit and drilled in Roy's system, of course

No injuries, then it has to be the same as Fulham.

Fulham had a lot of the ball, especially in the middle of the park. Seri and Cairney both had plenty of possession and completed about 3 times as many passes as Luka and Jimmy Mac. I do worry about allowing players like Keita and Milner too much time on the ball, but I think it's more a case of upping our intensity with the same players than chopping and changing for this game.

Same team, it has to be. No player deserves to be dropped after last weekend. Could be some changes on the bench such as Meyer and I'm sure a slightly different system too.
I feel we could scrape a win but would be very happy with a draw against the potential champions this season.

At the sake of repeating, Roy hasn't liked to change a winning team unless injury makes it so .
Would love a win will take a draw

Basically it will be the same squad with the adition of Kouyaté. Even we won last match this next one brings new things to equation.

Like the majority I think we'll be unchanged.

Roy never changes a winning team. Barring injuries we’ll be exactly the same as last game

Roy won't change the starting line-up, but to play devil's advocate, if he were to make a change the one player I might consider changing is Schlupp for Kouyaté, if the latter had proved himself match fit.
Schlupp did score last week and he does do some nice link up play, but he has also looked a little slow at tracking players which will be vital tonight and arguably Kouyaté is better at breaking up play. In this situation I would move McArthur to the left of what will probably be a narrow midfield four.
I will be happy to see an unchanged line-up though, but this thread wouldn't have even gone anywhere had it not been for the OP's bold suggestion of dropping (arguably) our MOTM from Fulham.

I just hope that Palace can keep possession and pass/ receive with accuracy and build up the play with top crosses into the box. I don't want to see our players on the back foot giving too much respect to Liverpool. These top teams are there for the taking at what should be intimidating home fixtures as Brighton brilliantly stated against Man Utd yesterday = credit where it is due.
