‘Glasner’s pulsating Palace brutally expose Liverpool flaws’

As Selhurst Park’s “Holmesdale Fanatics” watched as the flaws Liverpool have shown this season are brutally exposed, Crystal Palace’s ascendancy grew to become a fixture.

When the club’s famous backfield reached a decision, the Eagles had torn the visitors apart for 34 minutes, with only an Ismaila Sarr goal to support their victory.

This magnificent, historic stadium echoed the phrase “We’re going to win the league,” a clear indication of how talented this Palace side is.

Liverpool have endured a precarious start to the season, despite winning five straight Premier League titles and making numerous acquisitions that failed to conceal defensive flaws that were first discovered at Wembley in August when Palace defeated them to win the Community Shield on penalties.

As has often happened with other opponents this term, Oliver Glasner’s side’s side did their best when they only went in 1-0 lead at half-time when it could have been 6-0. However, they did their best when they did so.

Sarr scored the only goal of the game in the ninth minute after pulsating Palace, and Liverpool’s Alisson, who had only one player to have the most credit, saved superbly from Yeremy Pino, Daniel Munoz, and Jean-Philippe Mateta, who also had a goal.

After Federico Chiesa’s 87th-minute equalizer, it appeared as though an outstanding performance would only give Liverpool a point. However, when substitute Eddie Nketiah netted a deserved winner with almost the final kick of the game in the 97th minute, the game was almost over.

In 17 meetings, it was only their second win at home since 2014, a record they had already held.

With the historic FA Cup win against Manchester City back in May, Palace have now won 18 games without losing in all competitions, breaking the club record set in 1969.

After a strong start, they moved up three points, three points clear of Liverpool, who are currently reigning champions.

A team that is deserving of its lofty position on the table right now receives its animated touchline energy with class in every way.

When asked to play, keeper Dean Henderson excelled, turning Ryan Gravenberch’s shot on the post in the first half, and captain and key defender Marc Guehi demonstrated just why Liverpool fans were so disappointed when a proposed £35 million move to Anfield failed on transfer deadline day.

What a contrast Guehi’s calmness was to Liverpool’s chaos, where Ibrahim Konate struggled and captain Virgil van Dijk was ultimately found guilty of disobedience.

Guehi even had an assist in the build-up to Nketiah’s winner when a long throw-in caused defensive jitters, just like a corner did for Palace’s first, adding insult to injury to the frightened visitors.

Adam Wharton has undoubtedly become a regular England player, with his loping socks-down approach not masking an elite midfielder’s elite. Daichi Kamada had a similar amount of determination and effectiveness.

The charismatic Glasner, a transformative figure at Palace, and Steve Parish, the chairman of Selhurst Park, are the backbone of it all.

With eight victories and ten draws, Palace is currently on a 18-game unbeaten run as a club. Liverpool has also played three games in that unbeaten streak.

With three victories and three draws in their first six games, the Eagles are the only Premier League team without a win.

Palace finished third overall in the standings when they last did so in 1990 and 1991.

We had a fantastic opening half and deserved lead, Glasner exclaimed to BBC Match of the Day. The victory was due to us.

I’m pleased with our team’s response despite the fact that Liverpool deserved an equaliser to put them under the pressure.

We discuss personality,” he said. We always strive for victory. Everyone who lives close to Crystal Palace received a reward here.

The players displayed a lot of confidence. The quality of the passes and runs into the box was outstanding.

We’ll evaluate the game and absorb the positivity. You must take pleasure in these situations, or you must wonder why you do it.

In some ways, this day was coming for Liverpool.

In their victory over Bournemouth, Newcastle United, Burnley, and Arsenal, they have traded a lot of late goals this season. They almost did it before Chiesa’s effort, but it was unsustainable until Nketiah caused Liverpool to go through the same heartache.

Despite their seven successive victories in all competitions, this is still a work in progress with numerous acquisitions.

After scoring the midweek winner against Southampton in the Carabao Cup, Slot’s description of the in-form striker Hugo Ekitike receiving a one-game ban, a second yellow card, and dismissal for taking his shirt off was highlighted here.

The Frenchman, who has five goals in seven games, could have changed the Liverpool attack.

Alexander Isak, the club’s record £125 million buy, made his first league start but looks far from fully fit, drawing the disapproval of Palace’s supporters with his expected chants of “what a waste of money” when he was withdrawn after missing a clear chance he had at least created for himself.

At £116 million, Florian Wirtz is still trying to fit into a side and system that dominated the league last year. With the exception of one chance, which he steered straight into Henderson’s hands from six yards, the German was unidentified.

Although Liverpool are still in the lead, Selhurst Park finally saw the light of day with the issues that had troubled them.

However, an enthusiastic Palace and their supporters won’t have any issues.

Can they win the Premier League, as the “Holmesdale Fanatics” alleged?
