Decent if still slightly uninspiring performance from the boys today against a very very flat Palace side. The 1st half was a chore to watch. Not much happening aside from useless possession without any real intent. Thankfully we stepped it up a bit and really it wasnt that much more in the 2nd half. But it paid off. 4-0
Our final 3rd is still lacking in cohesion and creativity. Werner and Havertz still adapting. Tammy looking a bit weak. CHO nothing to write home about. Yet...4-0
Shot out to Chillwell (motm) and Zouma. Played great today. Our entire defense looked very solid and composed. As did Jorginho and Kante. Bossed that midfield with Jorginho controlling the match and playing very well.
Pulsic got a few mins to stretch his legs also. All in all a decent result if expected. I'm hoping for a bit more excitement and creativity soon.
Getting there...

That was a genuine "be patient spoilt brats" performance (if someone complained about it). Despite not clicking into gear we were unquestionably the best team over the entire 90 mins.
A lot of posters getting unfair stick IMO the last few weeks. That was a performance where I'd understand said stick more, a bit awkward in large spells but under control
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot of 'fans' deserve the critisism in my opinion (not talking specifically on here), some of the half time comments I read on Facebook at 1313hrs this afternoon were quite frankly pathetic.
Liverpool are four years into a project with Klopp - we're about 4 games in with a much changed lineup from last season.
Today we completely dominated a team with a reputation for defensive resilience and recently went to Ol Trafford and convincingly beat Utd - we've gone and beat them 4 nil and still there are people expressing dissatisfaction.
Maybe it's me because I came from a time when Chelsea fans took pride in supporting the team through hell and high water but I just don't understand what some of modern breed of football fan expect!

It's terrible Sheriff, some of these people, I get the impression, have no love for the club but just want to support a team that's in the Champions League.

The problem I have with that prospective is it absolves the club of any responsibility & puts it back on the fans. I see where you came from there but I can't agree with the logic.
Think may fans view their clubs same way they do their other halves. They wind you up, there's times where you outright loathe them, but at the end of the day you'll always love them - but most importantly it's a mutually supportive partnership.

I suspect Brummie views his other half very differently to how he views Chelsea

She once said to me, "Don't worry, I know where I lie in your priorities. It's Chelsea 1st, then the girls, then The Navy and then the cats!
I didn't have the heart to tell her she was below Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Villa as well!

Is Darren the King still trying to say that Maguire is better value at £80m than Chilwell is at £45m!!
