On the evening of October 3rd, at Anfield Stadium, the struggling Red Army Liverpool welcomed the newly promoted Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace's reputation has become a bit big recently. The media is hyping them up as a strong team killer. To be honest, Wen Sheng doesn't even know where the name of this strong team killer comes from. In the previous rounds, they only faced Arsenal and Chelsea.

As a team competing for the championship, they only defeated defending champion Chelsea.

Of course, we can't say that the media are completely talking nonsense. At least they are right. Crystal Palace is indeed in particularly good condition when facing strong teams.

Wen Sheng did not appear on the coaching bench but sat in the stands wearing slippers with a mobile phone in his hand. Today he can also only direct the team's game remotely.

Hodgson was secretly happy that he didn't meet Wen Sheng.

Speaking of which, Liverpool still have some physical advantages. After all, they are not burdened by the European war.

Liverpool's starting goalkeeper Reina, defense Glen Johnson, Skrtel, Kiljakos, Carragher, midfielder Joe Cole, Meireles, Paulson, Gerrard, Kuyt,

Forward Torres

De Bruyne has been performing relatively well since the beginning of this season, so more and more teams are beginning to study him, and Hodgson is no exception. Today, Carragher was specifically placed on the left to defend De Bruyne.

.

For Crystal Palace, Klein returned to the starting lineup, the center back partner was replaced by the combination of Onyewu and Benatia, midfielder Matic got the opportunity to start consecutively, and forward De Bruyne returned to the starting lineup.

Mertens is in excellent form on one side, and Alan Lee is still playing center forward in the middle.

Alan Lee's performance in the last game against Utrecht was pretty good. He also knows Wen Sheng's tactical positioning for the center. Although he may not meet the requirements like Vardy, he is at least very diligent.

The pre-match ceremony ended and the match between the two sides officially began.

It is very different from the tactics adopted against Chelsea and Arsenal. Wen Sheng was more active in this game, and his position was relatively strong. He wanted to bully Liverpool's poor condition.

Liverpool's two midfielders, Paulson and Meireles, both just came to the Premier League from other leagues in the summer window. Their adaptation to the league, at least for now, is poor. With Liverpool's poor performance and injuries, the midfielder

The loss of super midfielder Mascherano has a lot to do with it.

Because of Alan Lee as the forward, Crystal Palace will have more control in the midfield, the speed of passing the ball will slow down, and side crosses will also become a very optional offensive method.

Slowing down will help Allen Lee take root in the penalty area, and will also give the midfielder the opportunity to get closer to Allen Lee.

The Kops at Anfield were a little disappointed, because the two sides could only compete for five or six minutes in the opening period, and they saw that their team lost control of the midfield.

From the seventh minute to the fifteenth minute, Crystal Palace controlled the ball in Liverpool's half for a long time. Huo Taigong was extremely anxious and carefully directed the team to arrange their defense.

Paulson, a midfielder who was criticized as a parallel import by Juventus fans, seemed to be a bit of a parallel import. He could not keep up with Boateng's pace several times, allowing Boateng to complete the shot or pass.

In the 15th minute, Liverpool finally had a chance to counterattack. Gerrard's long pass passed Klein's space on the right side of Crystal Palace. As a result, Torres was injured while fighting for the ball with Benatia and went off the field directly.

Torres is a big killer, and combined with Gerrard's long pass, it is very sharp. His end immediately made Wen Sheng in the stands a little happy.

From a humanitarian point of view, it is not good for Torres to be injured, but as an opponent, Crystal Palace will probably be a little happy.

"It's only been fifteen minutes, is Mahdi considered a meritorious service?!" Joey joked in a low voice with a smile. He was sitting next to Wen Sheng. He had an important task today to send text messages and make phone calls.

"This kid is so seamless! I knew this guy was awesome, but I didn't expect him to be so awesome?!" Wen Sheng praised.

Torres' end was not only a blow to Liverpool's tactical arrangements, but also a huge blow to their morale.

At this time, Torres is still a god-like existence. He is Liverpool's hope for scoring goals. Now that he is off the field, who can everyone count on to score?! It seems that they can only count on Gerrard.

Ngego, who came on the bench, is still a young player, and no one will put their hope in him.

This blow was quickly reflected on the court. When they were a little confused, in the 18th minute, Mertens broke into the penalty area. Glen Johnson, who was following him, stretched out his hand and pulled him down. The referee sentenced him to death. Boa

Teng scored in one stroke to give Crystal Palace the lead.

"Yeah, yeah!" Joey looked very happy. When he turned around, he found that his cousin was very calm, so he asked, "Are you unhappy?!"

Wen Sheng chuckled, "Why did I make you misunderstand that I'm unhappy?!"

"Who says I'm not happy? I just don't think it's worth being too surprised if we score a goal against them! Liverpool, Liverpool, their energy is almost gone again!"

"Liverpool will never see the same Istanbul night again!"

Liverpool also have the disease of being a wealthy player. They always want to compete for the ball. Allowing Crystal Palace to control it calmly at their home court will undoubtedly make them particularly uncomfortable, so they compete fiercely for players.

But after a goal was scored by Crystal Palace, they felt that their momentum was much weaker. Hodgson's shouts and Gerrard's shouts seemed to be of no avail.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty minutes passed. At the end of the first half, Boateng took the ball and De Bruyne scored another point with a long shot from the left side of the Liverpool penalty area.

Crystal Palace, playing away from home, finished the first half 2:0, which was simply unacceptable to the home team fans. When the referee blew the halftime whistle, there were loud boos in Anfield.

This boo is for everyone.

It’s for the Crystal Palace players, who let these guys from London let their team fall behind?!

It's for the Liverpool players, who made these mercenaries play without any fighting spirit!

It's for the referee, who is so stupid as to favor the away team!

It's for Hodgson. You've been feeding dogs for a long time. What kind of bullshit tactics are you using?!

It's for the disabled person who is sitting in the stands and directing the game remotely. I heard that your fucking big toe is broken. It's best to have your fucking toe amputated!

The anger of the fans is understandable. This kind of booing and complete dissatisfaction brought great pressure to the Liverpool players and also served as motivation. After the halftime break, after the restart, the Liverpool players' waists and legs were no longer sore.

There was no pain anymore, they were running more vigorously, and they seemed to have regained their form.

This three-pointer was extremely important. Wen Sheng immediately and decisively gave instructions to get the hell back, get back into his own half, and the defensive counterattack tactics had to be used!

Hodgson actually didn't make any adjustments during the halftime break. He just replaced Joe Cole with Jovanovic, and then they started to play the game in a big way. As a result, they gradually gained the upper hand.

Wen Sheng actually knows what the problem is with Crystal Palace. They have much shorter rest time than Liverpool. They played well in the first half and there were many physical confrontations. It is strange that they can withstand it in the second half.

Wen Sheng also accidentally chose a wrong idea. He asked the team to defend low and let Liverpool play positional warfare. When in the 65th minute, Liverpool regained one with Jovanovic's goal,

Wen Sheng realized that he should not let his opponent suppress him all the time.

Which line is the most tired so far in the new season is the defense, especially the two full-backs Klein and Hills. They have played too many games, and this game is 48 points away from the last Europa League game.

Less than an hour.

Wen Sheng was anxious in the stands and hurriedly directed Webster to replace Alan Lee with Vardy. His physical fitness was no longer good. He was frequently at a disadvantage in confrontations with Skrtel. This was a sign that his physical fitness could not keep up.
