The fifteen-minute break ended and both sides returned to the court.

Dalglish didn't make any substitutions. He didn't have much room for substitutions. There were only a few people on the bench due to injury suspensions. Who could be substituted?!

As for Crystal Palace, Wen Sheng will not make substitutions. This is not a good time to make substitutions. We should at least see how Liverpool plays in the second half.

Dalglish became more stable in the second half. Maybe he also figured out that he arranged the offense not as offensively as defensively, but gave Crystal Palace a chance.

The Crystal Palace players played relatively steadily in accordance with Wen Sheng's requirements. As long as Liverpool's forwards didn't press too hard, they would always pass the ball patiently in the backcourt and not easily pass the ball forward, while the opponent's forwards and midfielders were slightly behind.

They will pass the ball forward only when they are pressing forward. De Bruyne's position was even deeper in the second half, and his offensive style was also very direct, attacking Liverpool's wings.

Liverpool's defense is relatively well-organized, but it is not easy for Crystal Palace to attack.

The game has entered a stalemate, and now it depends on the personal abilities of the players on both sides. Who can change the situation with a flash of inspiration. Of course, with the decline in physical fitness, Crystal Palace will have an advantage later.

Oliver's job today is relatively easy, because there is not much physical contact between the two sides, but the kicks are considered civilized and the movements are not big.

Several fouls committed by Liverpool players in the first half were not decisive enough, resulting in their failure to hold on to their advantage. Now in the second half, the focus has changed to defense. Crystal Palace's offense has been rogue again, and Liverpool's fouls can only be concentrated on the wing.

Dalglish was a little helpless about the situation, and Zaha and Mertens on the wing were not easy to deal with. Zaha's ball-holding ability was really strong. When the ball reached his feet, there were no two or three people to surround him. Kelly was the only one.

There was no way anyone could defend him. In the first half, Kelly failed to mark him once and allowed Zaha to send a fatal pass. In the second half, Zaha held the ball more times, and Kelly began to taste more of Zaha's power.

In the 54th minute, Zaha's breakthrough on the wing earned Kelly a yellow card. After that, he had to devote a lot of energy to help Kelly defend in the middle. Kelly could not get any more cards, and he would have to leave the field if he got another card.

The situation will be more difficult.

Dalglish didn't make any substitutions or tactical adjustments. Wen Sheng was happy to have some free time and simply returned to the coaching bench to sit down.

"He hasn't changed yet?!" Hawking asked.

"Who should I change? I've got everyone I can get!" Wen Sheng chuckled.

In fact, Gerrard's absence in this game has a very, very big impact on Liverpool. If Gerrard is here, he has good vision and accurate long passes, which will greatly improve Liverpool's performance on both offense and defense.

Being able to use long passes means that they can retain enough defensive manpower in the backcourt, and the offense can also be more direct. Now that Liverpool does not have this weapon, they can only be restrained everywhere.

What kind of game is Crystal Palace least good at?!

He is least good at positional warfare, which is of course a problem for every team, but Dalglish gave Crystal Palace too many openings.

"Gerrard's absence has left a huge impression on them. Dalglish can't make up for the impact of Gerrard's absence by relying on existing players!" Wen Sheng said to Hawking and the others.

Everyone nodded. The impact of Gerrard's absence was analyzed very clearly before the game.

Time passed by, and the game soon came to more than 70 minutes. According to the rules, it was time for substitutions and adjustments. Liverpool could make a breakthrough through substitutions. Dalglish

There was finally a substitution, and he replaced Jovanovic with Shelvey.

Jovanovic's performance was really poor. He only came to Liverpool last summer, but he was a player who was confirmed during Benitez's tenure. He signed with Liverpool on February 10, 2010. He was in Standard

Liege's performance is very good, but he is obviously a little acclimatized in the Premier League. So far in the season, he has zero goals and assists.

Shelvey's long passes are very good, and his vision is not bad, but he is too young, slow, inexperienced, and has poor timing.

Dalglish thought that replacing Shelvey could bring about a miracle, and Shelvey actually did it. He had just played for only three minutes. He was too slow to hold the ball on the right side and was intercepted by Delhi. When Delhi dribbled the ball forward,

, Shelvey got up and committed a foul behind his back, tackled Derry, and was sent off with a ruthless red card by Oliver.

Dalglish was almost mad. He admired the players' courage, but, damn, did I ask you to be so positive?! You don't even look at the current situation.

Shelvey's red card was not worth it. The only benefit to Liverpool was that Deli was injured and Wen Sheng had to replace Deli with Matic.

Wen Sheng then replaced Zaha with Scannell who used too much force in the second half.

There is only one substitution place left in hand, and Wen Sheng wants to leave this substitution place to Klose. Klose is very active, but he is 32 years old after all, and his physical fitness is declining quickly, but he has already scored 2 goals.

Wen Sheng wanted to see if he could score a hat trick.

With only 10 men left to face the match, Liverpool's situation is even worse. Not to mention offense, even if they shrink back and defend, it is a huge problem.

In the 83rd minute, Liverpool's defense made another mistake. Scannell, De Bruyne and Klein played brilliantly on the wing. Klein cut inside and passed to Klose.

Under defense, he almost used all his strength to head the ball past Reina's goal again.

hat trick!

In his third game after joining the team, Klose scored three goals in a row with his head and kicks!

4:1!

In this game, Crystal Palace obviously did not make the same mistake at Anfield. The defense was very solid, and Torres played very hard. He received too little support.

Over the years at Liverpool, the one who provided the most assists to Torres was Gerrard. Today, his good friend is not here, and Torres is having a hard time playing.

The stoppage time was only 2 minutes. Once the two minutes were up, Oliver blew the whistle to end the game.

Liverpool didn't get any advantage at Selhurst Park, but instead suffered a big defeat.

"We played really badly!" Dalglish looked worried in an interview after the game. With the team like this, Dalglish feels that Liverpool's main task should be to avoid relegation rather than compete for Europe.

Qualification to fight.

"They almost controlled the entire game. The responsibility for the loss is mine, and I take full responsibility!" In this situation, the Liverpool players did not play with confidence. Naturally, Dalglish, the head coach, can no longer add extra pressure to the players.

With more pressure on the players, the most important thing now is to restore the players' confidence as soon as possible.

"We need to sum up this game seriously! The boys are sad, but I think now is not the time to be sad. We need to cheer up for the next game!"

Dalglish is currently the acting head coach and has not signed a formal contract. Naturally, reporters will not be stupid enough to ask Dalglish about his dismissal after losing two games in a row at the beginning.

"Crystal Palace played very well, and Daniel's performance really impressed me. They were more prepared!" The reporter hadn't asked about Wen Sheng yet, but Dalglish took the initiative to praise Wen Sheng.

After Wen Sheng finished celebrating with the players, when he arrived at the interview area, Dalglish had already left.

Winning the ball and Wen Sheng are naturally very happy.

"This is a very important victory! They are Liverpool and a great opponent! Beating them will definitely have a positive impact on the team!"

Reporters told Wen Sheng that Dalglish had just praised him. Wen Sheng grinned and said: "Really?! It's an honor for me to be praised by Kenny. He is a great coach!"

What's interesting is that reporters actually asked Wen Sheng what he thought of Liverpool's current situation. Hodgson's performance under the leadership of the team was very poor, but Dalglish also had troubles. He was eliminated by Manchester United in the FA Cup, and now lost to the away game in the league.
