It was woefully apparent that the deadlock wasn’t going to be broken tonight. The Eagles and Reds could have played until midweek – this game was destined to finish goalless, however long we had to endure it. Should we be alarmed at that nine-match sequence for Palace? They have now drawn more than they have lost and they sit in 12th place in the table, seemingly in little danger of straying far from the cosiness of mid-table. Perhaps that’s enough for Palace. It ought not to be.
Liverpool took a clean sheet, not because they were solid at the back – they weren’t – but because Palace are utterly devoid of potency and ruthlessness. Of course it didn’t help that none of their three top scorers – Wilfried Zaha, Eberechi Eze and Odsonne Edouard – featured in Patrick Vieira’s XI but, as the league’s fourth-lowest scorers, this was hardly a one-off. Sure, they broke and speed and Palace are very good at moving through the thirds.
