Its funny cos of all the people who said you don't see teams like Liverpool get turned over like Arsenal were.

Pleased Liverpool are getting found out.

It still amazes me that so many opposition fans, and pundits for that matter, get so excited about whooping our arse. When are they going to work out that when we have an off day we can make even the most ordinary of teams look like something special.

I said as much last week.  Pool got way too much credit for basically kicking the lifeless corpse that was arsenal

Mendy will be the best fullback in the league in short order.  His crossing is fantastic

Chamberlain showing his famous first touch there.

Why did Klavan start? I know Lovren's a bit of a liability himself but he's still a better player.

Sane is quality. Knew that was going in as soon as he got it

Pretty sure Chamberlain deflected that in.

The boy's a jinx 🙂

To be fair the red card changed the entire dynamic of the game. 

But I was glad to see them whupped.

So what, the red was the right decision.

They conceded the first goal before the sending off too.

Klopp was Wenger levels of stupid after the card. Normal managers would close up shop and see if they can get something on the counter towards the end. Pool stayed wide open.

Spurs have just scored the biggest fluke ever

Sprs are winning the league (as are Ynited).

Let's see how United react to going 1-0 down. They've looked rather flat today.

Fully deserved. Stoke better here than they were against us.

Didn't last long.

United are too good on set pieces.

Nice of Stoke not to bother with defending there

Jese is a bit shit.

Gwan Stoke - shudder to post that but I had just been contemplating the possibility of United winning the league and it's too much.

😆
I would never have had you pegged as a Phil Jones fan 

Wow, incredible save from Flappy to deny Joselu a sure goal

That save is out of the world.

TBH it seems like a pretty good decision.

Feels like if you're going to sign someone to change things you should give them a little more time, that being said they look pretty terrible. Seems they've reverted right back into their English manager from the Jurassic period filter in appointing Roy.

They played fantastic yesterday. Created chances after chances, dominated possession that I have never seen Palace done before.

Crazy to sack him after that performance.

Is this a joke?

Sacking a manager four games into the season is never a good decision. De Boer is known to be a slow starter and a team like Palace were never going to immediately play the way he wanted them to. And that's leaving aside that they already visibly improved and that he's being replaced by fucking Roy

Football is a mad, mad place. De Boer is going to find it difficult to get a decent top flight job after this.

Paul Pogbo has been savaged by Garth Crooks of all people 😆

De Boer should've learned from his past stint with Inter that he needs to have more compromise with his system. You have to adapt/build tactics to the players that you have available. 

Palace should take some of the blame as well. It was a bad move to hire De Boer in the first place, he didn't fit their style of play at all.

Agree there, it was a terrible move hiring him but at least they recognised that mistake before they'd fallen too far.

People can bleat all they want because they like deBoers style but 4 games, 4 losses and no goals is the start of a relegation season. Especially with 3 of the 4 teams they've played being potential relegation battlers too.

If you're signing him you need to give him the time to properly implement his methods properly. Now you're getting a new guy in who'll have to start from scratch meaning the next four games are a write-off too while under de Boer they'd have definitely improved

Not to mention they had a clear improvement at Burnley. The players showed they are playing for him.

Why sack De Boer for being De Boer when that's the reason you hired him in the first place?

Apparently De Boer and the board had a complete breakdown in relationship, so they were never going to give him time.

How did their relations break down in a month?

They thought they hired Ronald.
