Sturridge, Milner and other players got the chance to play, while Salah, Firmino, Lin Chen and others sat on the bench on standby.

When seeing the starting lineup, Coach Zhang couldn't help but laugh.

"Lin Chen's position in Liverpool is obviously becoming more and more important. He is sitting on the bench with the starting main players on standby."

The game started soon at Crystal Palace's home ground.

Crystal Palace frequently engaged in physical confrontations, trying to tear through Liverpool's defense.

But Crystal Palace soon discovered that their own collision not only did not have any effect, but instead increased their own physical consumption.

Liverpool was not in a hurry to attack, but instead arranged their formation, allowing Crystal Palace to attack and trying their best to prevent Crystal Palace from entering their most dangerous area.

In the 30th minute of the game, Crystal Palace's midfield toughness had obviously declined.

Liverpool immediately switched from defense to offense and began to press forward, trying to gain offensive opportunities through high-pressure defense and rushing through the middle.

The 35th minute of the game!

"From the impact in the middle, Crystal Palace was suppressed very uncomfortably."

"Wijnaldum is pressing Jurgen Klopp, it's intercepted!"

"Leave it to Milner to push the counterattack, Solanke is on the wing!"

"Solanke gets the ball with a long pass. He doesn't have Salah's breakthrough ability, but Solanke's ability to pass over a long distance is very strong."

As Coach Zhan was speaking, Solanke cut inside and made a long arc to the left.

"Sure enough, a long pass with a big foot!"

"Liverpool are good at using this kind of wide-area tearing to open up space."

"Mane gets the ball, cuts inside and keeps moving towards the middle."

"Pass Tomkins, no chance, keep passing!"

"Again!"

"Kick the door!"

"Too hesitant! Mane could have shot the ball two steps earlier, but he seemed to want to pass the ball first!"

Just five minutes later, Liverpool had another chance.

Milner took the ball and launched a counterattack. A surgical pass penetrated the defense and found Sturridge who was running forward.

"Pretty!"

"Sturridge has a one-on-one chance!" Coach James was very excited.

"One passes first, and the goalkeeper chooses to attack."

"The gate is empty! I want to go through again!"

"Sturridge shoots!"

"Oops! The ball didn't go in!" Coach James' excitement instantly turned into anger.

"Fuck Sturridge."

"Wouldn't it be better if we just push the empty door early?"

"They had to pass the ball cleanly before shooting. What happened to Liverpool's forwards today?"

"Does it have to be fed into your mouth?"

After the first half of the game, Klopp returned to the locker room and emphasized angrily.

"Shoot at the goal when you have the chance, don't hesitate, don't keep dribbling, don't think about passing the opponent cleanly!"

"This is a football match, not a video game. I don't need any fancy breakthroughs!"

"I just need to score, we need to score!"

However, Klopp's roar did not change anything. As substitute players, Sturridge and Solanke's abilities are indeed limited.

After the start of the second half, Liverpool were unable to score any points, and it was thunder without rain.

Crystal Palace has gradually recovered from its fatigue. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if this continues, the situation will soon turn in Crystal Palace's favor.

"We should score first instead of doing all these fancy things, which are useless." Gerrard looked at Liverpool on the field, his worries growing.

"There's a saying in the football world that if you miss chances too often, you'll be punished."

"What worries me is that Liverpool still hasn't scored a goal and there are only about 30 minutes left including the extra time."

"Look at the smiles on the faces of the Crystal Palace fans. They will be happy with the draw with Liverpool and at least get a point this season."

The Crystal Palace fans in the live broadcast room were indeed satisfied with the team's performance.

"At least from the pace of the game so far, we have not been suppressed by Liverpool, and that's enough."

"If we can get one point from Liverpool, that's acceptable, at least Liverpool is much stronger than us."
