Zhan Jun: Liverpool’s “second team” was humiliated and Slottbao’s league results were full of errors

October 30th: Many matches in the League Cup ended. Among them, Liverpool was defeated by Crystal Palace and missed the promotion. Commentator Zhan Jun wrote after the game.

Zhan Jun:

Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the League Cup. The Gunners achieved zero seal again!

On a miserable night at Anfield, the "second team" came out and were humiliated by Crystal Palace. Glasner's team doesn't use lob tactics that make you uncomfortable, but breaks down your defense through fast breaks. No wonder the visiting Crystal Palace fans chanted: Can we play you every weekend? Entering 2025, Liverpool has failed to win five games against Crystal Palace, and has lost three games this season including the Community Shield.

Slaughter made a desperate move to protect the league, retaining the main team to face Villa on Saturday, and also tried a three-centre-back formation. The result was that he was unable to attack and defend, and was full of mistakes. McCaar's condition has not improved; Kyle Kez and Robertson are half-matched; Gomez's mistakes led to two of the three goals conceded; 18-year-old rookie Nalo has received red cards as a substitute in the Champions League and League Cup in the past two seasons; the only one worthy of praise is the diligent Chiesa.

What awaits Slott next is Villa, who have won four consecutive Premier League victories, and the Champions League winner---Real Madrid!
