Hiya, and welcome to The Redmen TV. I am just outside Selhurst Park. Liverpool come away with a 3-1 win. Three points going into the international break, and I needed that. I just needed to feel better about myself. After two disappointing results, obviously, at the weekend and midweek, I needed us to bounce back, and we did that. And I don't think Liverpool was superb today. Oh, look at them in the vlog there. I don't think Liverpool was superb today. Over the 90 minutes, I really don't. I mean, Alisson Becker, wow.

I've not, no. I have slightly criticized the lad, because his standards just haven't met the standards that he's had for the past 10 years, and that's perfectly all right, to be honest, because that's what happens, you know, as a footballer gets older. You decline a little bit, all of that. And I thought he was a brilliant shot stopper, as usual. But, like, his distribution, and I actually thought he had no nonsense today. He wasn't trying to play all around everyone. He was very much, if it needs to go long, it's going long. But his saves, the reason we score and we go 1-0 up is because Alisson Becker saves Liverpool, and he's done it before, and he's still doing it now.

Honestly, I thought Liverpool started the game well, didn't really have to cut an edge. Palace grow into it, and Palace have chances. There's a lot of crosses that Liverpool just weren't dealing with at the back post, and they're saved by Alisson Becker.

Wow, it's the power on the shot back post. How he has the strength in his arm to not just par me, but get it away to make sure, even when he does get it on to me. It doesn't go in the back of the net and over the line. It's an incredible save, and from there, Liverpool go up the other end of the pitch, we're not foul, and from that foul, Macca scores the header. And earlier on from a corner, Macca had had one that just went past the post, so yeah, like, wow, Alisson Becker, and it happened again and again. Liverpool went 1-0 up, and I still thought before half time, you know, Palace had chances, they hit the bar obviously before we score. But I thought Alisson Becker was sensational, really, really good today, even in that second half, being there when he needs to be, and Liverpool score five minutes before the break, and I think about 10 minutes after, and it's brilliant play down the right-hand side, it's a great counter attack, flying vert, Bar Colnett avert, I loved that as well. And yet we went 2-0 up, and then I didn't really have any worries, I wanted us to click a bit more, I don't think, I don't think we clicked as much going up front, but that certainly would help hopefully, that gives us the confidence. But then the third goal, Isach has a chance just before he scores, and I think, oh, there's your big moment mate, that's what you brought in for, when you get the odd chance, you usually bury it. And yeah, he doesn't, but luckily Liverpool have a lovely bit of play again down the right-hand side, and they do obviously get the goal with Alexander Isach. And I'd say it capped off a lovelier way, when one that I thoroughly enjoy it. But to be perfectly honest with you, I've got no idea, no idea at all, why a penalty is being given here.

Very, very odd, I'm just about to get on the couch, as you can see, don't mind me.

Hello, everyone.

Yeah, I don't know, can someone tell me why it was given a foul? I thought it was just a 50-50.

We both went up for a header. They obviously get the ball, I reckon. But then they smash into Kerkers. And, yeah, why is it a foul? Like, it was due to the lense me, so someone let me know. But I was annoyed by that, because I didn't get any longer on to it. But he gave a penalty, I was confused why. And Alisson Becker deserved, he deserved the clean sheet that he'd earned himself. And then it's unraveled by an absolute mad penalty show. But either way, Liverpool come away with three points. A big win at a tough away ground. Alisson Becker was brilliant. Liverpool were brilliant overall. But ultimately they get the three points, and that's really what is the most important part here. Anyway, I'm really happy. It makes a big difference going into the international break when you don't have football going on. It makes a big difference when you're going with a win and three points, and a decent performance. And it also makes this, like, sick.
