Football: The strongest post-zero generation.

"You concede a goal first, and then use your best striker to confuse my players. You are awesome!"

A hint of coldness flashed across Hodgson's eyes, but when he looked at the field again, Hodgson felt powerless. This team simply did not have the strength to compete with Liverpool.

After Cabaye left Crystal Palace this season, the vacancy left by a midfield passer has not been filled yet. After Loftus' loan period expired, the team lost a striking point in the frontcourt.

Now most of Crystal Palace's attacks are completed entirely by Zaha's unrestrained performance and the connection between him and Ayew in the frontcourt.

But after Liverpool lost a goal, they obviously paid attention to this aspect. Fabinho sacrificed his own attack and successfully froze Zaha.

Without Zaha's sharp breakthrough in the frontcourt, Ayew became a sourceless water. Although there were McArthur, Kouyate and others in the midfield, after most of the offensive and defensive battles, the physical strength of the Crystal Palace players on the field was obviously unable to keep up.

Klopp's team obviously still has some strength left. Li Qing's sudden performance on the right created three chances, two of which turned into goals, which made Hodgson feel very fearful.

Milner is a jack of all trades in the team's midfield and backcourt, and although he has his role, he cannot always be used as a tinkerer, especially when used as a defender. His frequent fouls and mistakes will make people watching on the sidelines terrified.

As a player who has been playing football for more than 20 years, what he was thinking about at the moment was not the yellow card warning he had received, but only how to end the attack of Crystal Palace in front of him.

"Keep attacking, press forward, don't let them get the ball comfortably, James, run, are you really getting old!"

But just when Milner thought the opponent was trying to confuse him with a fake move, Mayer pushed the ball forward, turned around and started to break through from the right.

Seeing this yellow card, Klopp on the sidelines frowned and shook his head. Without Arnold on the court, Liverpool's right-side defense was really worrying.

Meyer, who got rid of Henderson, immediately took the ball and galloped towards Liverpool's right side. Ayew and Zaha shot at the same time in the middle, and Matip and Van Dijk's attention were attracted.

"Damn it!" Milner noticed that Henderson was freed by Meyer and pounced on him without hesitation.

Crystal Palace made a substitution, German Meyer came on to replace MacArthur who was already exhausted. After coming on, Meyer appeared on the left, and Zaha's position changed from the left to the middle, becoming a second striker.

"Beep——"

God knows what kind of tactical thinking the German guy from Dortmund on the opposite side instilled in this Liverpool team!

Not a fake move?

Milner was startled and stretched out his hand to grab his opponent, but he missed. In desperation, Milner made a tackle, and Meyer, who had already broken through Milner, lost his balance instantly, rolled forward several times and fell to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Milner felt a chill in his heart when he heard the whistle. When he saw the referee was about to take a card out of his pocket, he felt a chill all over his body.

The Liverpool players on the field did not notice that Zaha and Ayew's running positions were creating space for Meyer. As long as Meyer could successfully break through Milner, he would face the opponent's goalkeeper alone.

But while Klopp was hesitating, Crystal Palace managed to snatch the ball in the midfield and then passed the ball to Meyer, who started to break through with the ball.

This time it was Henderson who was defending Meyer. The Liverpool captain was obviously a little careless in the face of the opponent. He did not mark the opponent closely and his kicks seemed a little casual, allowing Meyer to easily fool him with a fake move and successfully get rid of him.

The game restarted. After Meyer got the ball, he attacked Liverpool's right very resolutely. Milner seemed a little overwhelmed under Meyer's attack. The 33-year-old Liverpool vice-captain obviously couldn't keep up with the German who had just come on the court.

Obviously, the former Liverpool coach decided to go all out and leave Anfield with his head held high even if he loses.

The moment Klopp saw Milner's tackle, he closed his eyes, what an idiot!

Feeling that he could not keep up with his opponent, Milner had no choice but to kick down Meyer who was about to get rid of him. The referee immediately blew the whistle and then stepped forward to give Milner a yellow card.

It is not uncommon for the trailing side to make substitutions after expanding their advantage, especially now that it is the second half of the game. If no changes are made, Crystal Palace will have no chance.

Meyer's foot passed over the ball, as if he wanted to break through from the right, but Milner was unmoved. He concluded that Meyer was faking it this time.

Although there was the youth team's right-back Camacho on the bench, he didn't dare to expect an eighteen-year-old kid to be able to defend against the German international Meyer on the opposite side. Not everyone can be as good as Li Qing and can play in any position at the same level!

How about letting Li Qing play as right back and replacing him with Lallana to stabilize the defense and offense? Klopp was a little hesitant.

The fast break he had launched with great difficulty could not be abandoned halfway because of the opponent in front of him. Thinking that Milner had already received a yellow card, and looking at the large space behind Milner, Meyer gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Players from both teams gathered around instantly. Henderson put his hands together and kept pleading with the referee, while the Crystal Palace players kept complaining about Milner's bad foul.

But Hodgson knew that if he didn't make any changes in the next game, he would have to sit and wait for death. However, the stubborn old coach was not someone who liked to admit defeat, so he waved his hand and the German international Meyer on the bench began to prepare for warm-up.

However, Klopp did not make any substitutions. Pursuing victory is his usual coaching style. The team is now only one goal ahead of the opponent, which is not enough at all, so he started waving and shouting loudly on the sidelines.

Milner stared at the opponent in front of him and did not make any rash kicks like Henderson just now. Milner's steady posture made Meyer feel a little anxious.

As soon as Li Qing ran back from the frontcourt, he saw the referee took out two cards from his pocket. He first signaled Milner with a yellow card, then held up the red card and pointed it out of the field.

Milner was sent off? Li Qing looked at the vice-captain who was walking off the field with his head down, and then looked at Meyer who stood up and was talking and laughing with the Crystal Palace players. Anger surged in his chest.
