My guess is that if its the starting line up then Kouyate will be moved to the bench, if its after 60 or 70 minutes then it will be Jimmy Mac substituted.

I agree that Ayew and Benteke have to be phased out for Olise and Edoaurd, think pretty much everyone would say that at this point.

However, I don't think the scoring situation is as bad you say. We've scored 5 goals, the 10th highest total in the league, and two of the games we drew a blank were away to Chelsea and Liverpool, title contenders who have conceded a single goal each. Even Brentford are clearly no mugs this season and have only conceded twice.

We've had an incredibly tough start to the season and, despite missing key players, we're still clear of the bottom three so I've got no worries about us at the moment. Hopefully we put a beating on Brighton on Monday week.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Yes sadly if you switch off for 1 sec players like Salah will take them fine lines, I was surprised at Jairo coming on ahead of Hughes but , Edouard missed 2 good chances Wilf and Teke should have done better with there's, a mistake by Jairo didn't cost us the match our finishing did, and all 3 goals wasn't dealt with very well 2 back post and a keeper who cant catch, so theres more than 1 guilty party in there goals, but i still liked what i saw

The final scoreline was disappointing given that Palace put in a far more assertive and competitive performance than in recent times at Anfield.

But the defending at set pieces didn't reach the standard required at this level. I'm sure that will get the coaching teams attention.

Overall though, the players are adjusting well to the new style of play. It may have been the same result as at Chelsea but I thought a vast improvement in how we played.

I have to pass comment on the referee - a cowardly performance.

Old, Ungifted and White

I was unable to listen or watch a stream yesterday and so had to be content with MoD this morning.
I thought that Benteke hit the woodwork?
Also for their second goal Wilf was fouled first but nothing given and immediately Mitchell makes a good tackle they get a free kick and bang - 2-0!
It seems the result was a lucky 3-0 but we have to take our chances when they come.
Reidewald at fault for 2 goals but why bring him on - poor sub in my opinion.
Never expected to win yesterday but pleased we have a good account of ourselves.

If Milner played for Palace he'd be booked/sent off every week but he plays for Liverpool, therefore gets a free pass from biased corrupt referees..
