Didn’t see the game, but have watched Vieira’s post match interview.
He’s clearly not happy with our attacking efforts and claims we lack aggression and display sloppiness in forward areas.
He also, not for the first time, says we need two further forwards.
The rumours are that we after a winger on loan (Lookman, Nelson ?) and a striker ( Nkethia, Edouard?).
Two of those would clearly bolster the squad but there has to be a question mark whether they would dramatically improve our scoring threat.

Like somebody else posted - opportunity missed to give youngsters a game. What was the thinking in playing a strong line up? That’s a kick in the teeth

Ultimately backfired

Only positive I can se is that Tomkin played and while he did we kept a clean sheet

Your defence keeps a clean sheet for 81 minutes and then you change it. What's the thinking there?

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

I was at the game. We did control a lot of the game and looked assured playing out from the back. The problem was in the final third and a lack of creativity. Gallagher was a bundle of energy again and I think he was subbed to be saved for the weekend. Zaha was glued to the touchline most of the game but when he did get it there was still something missing.
Good to see Anderson start to send those long passes out of defence like he was doing to Lookman last season.
I would have liked to see Rak-Saki given a go in the second half. The three new signings looked class. The longer the game went on without us scoring the more you feared from a break away sucker punch and in the end that how it played out.

I'm so Palace I don't even know it

It's gonna be a long hard season let's not pretend otherwise. This was always going to take time.. The blame lays squarely at the feet of the board who somehow thought that letting a squad deteriorate to a level of having 11 players out of contract was the best way to progress a club.

People have got to be patient... Hopefully we won't get cut off at the bottom of the table by the time things come together a bit more.

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

I went to the game, and it will come as no surprise that our downfall is the final 3rd.

We looked impressive at the back (other than the goal) with Guehi and Andersen looking a good partnership. Gallagher was the stand out player again with his energy levels and willingness to get us forward.

But once we get within 35 yards of their goal, bad decision making, loose touches, poor passing, let us down. Had Benteke started, at least he would have held the ball up. I’ve not seen anything of Mateta which indicates he will get the goals we desperately need and too lightweight.

Zaha looks a patch of the player he once was. He either looks like he is playing with a slight injury or fear of getting one. He has lost the attacking intent and seldom takes players on. If anything, he slows our play down.

It’s harsh on Vieira that he is getting such criticism and comparisons to FdB. He can only implement a system which he thinks can win games. Unfortunately, we don’t have the players to implement it. What’s the option, go back to playing negative football which no one enjoyed watching. I was actually pleased he played a full strength side as I hate all this modern day football where you play a weakened side in cup games.

In conclusion, we need Eze back and a new striker desperately or we will be going down for certain. Losing too many core players from last seasons team is also have detrimental affects as it’s too much change. Missing Andros and Van Aanholt.

Dreading West Ham as once they go 1 nil up, it’s game over.
