Freddie Woodman suits the team and the way a keeper should play at the top end of the table compared to Marmadashvilli. His ability to sweep and be quick of his line and not be a scare when the ball is passed back suits the team than a pure shot stopper.

This match confirmed it for me. The stark difference in speed between him and Marmadashvilli was insane. Marmadashvilli is not the long term for Alisson.

Got to agree with that, Mama stays rooted to his line pretty much 9 times out of 10, Woodman looks comfortable venturing out of his area, receiving passes and distributing short.

Nice to see our third keeper making a name for himself.

If we get champs league this year, he's going to be a cult hero among our fans forever just for the saves he made this game (and hopefully in whatever fixtures he has left this season).

I thought Woodman was excellent, made 3 r4 super saves and looks v comfortable.
V unconvincing team performance if I'm honest, I felt Palace had the better chances. No real improvement defensively all season, played through far too handy in middle of the park.

Jones, Robbo, VVD were decent, Woodman mom and some nice link up play between Isak and Gakpo, which was good to see. Brilliant goal from Wirtz, more like it from him.
Massive 3pts when all is said and done, 1 foot in the Champions League next season.

Hopefully he gets an extension and Mamardashvili is moved on. We should still be looking for a long term Alison replacement. Jaros or Pecsi might prove to be it in time, one currently injured and the other young. Woodman looks a better no.2, certainly for 1 more season.

Don't get too carried away with Freddie Woodman. My son is a season ticket holder at Preston, and they regarded Iverson as an upgrade on him, and were glad to get Iverson back after he had previously been on loan from Leicester.

It takes more than one game to decide that Woodman is a better bet than a keeper who is a regular for his country, and had an outstanding Euros.

But that doesn't surprise me. Many Liverpool supporters, especially the social media fans, think any player who comes in and does the slightest good thing is the answer to all our prayers and should start regularly.

He can still be commended on a great performance tho. Great to hear the crowd sing his name. 👍

As a third choice keeper, he did his job competently and effectively. Is he a first or second choice? No, but he's a very good third choice as he's experienced, in his 30's, not seeking to be first choice here, and is comfortable with his role, he's also home grown.

Didn't once get the same sense of panic as when Adrian (bless him) ever had to step in.

25 Apr 2026 17:19:04
Vital 3pts, not a shot till the 30 odd min but not bothered now, just the pts that matter. Jones was the best player on the pitch I thought, looks like we've enough pts for Champs League spot. Hope Salah can play again this season. Be tragic if that was his last game.

Mo possible Hammy only shows that the season long fitness training is not "fit for purpose", which is backed up by being outrun in nearly every game this season. Hugo also went down with his Achilles and no one was near him. That suggests weak muscles, not strong muscles from intense season long training.

Ye don't get 100% fit for football in a gym.

Ye get fit from training on grass with a smaller ball constantly: 11 versus seven, five versus three, two versus one games of football on small pitches, like Shankly, Paisley, etc. All I ever see on the LFC channel is them throwing medicine balls to each other.

As Shanks always said, "Ye play on grass, ye train on grass", not hard timber floors with no give.

25 Apr 2026 17:05:39
That was a tough watch that, but a vital 3 points. Felt Woodman was MOTM for me. Not sure exactly what ping pong offers, and I wish Wirtz would shoot more as opposed to trying to set people up.

Slot doing his best at the end to sabotage the victory by putting on defenders when we needed someone up top to score again. Lucky for him it was Wirtz. Still gotta be happy with the result.

25 Apr 2026 18:07:41
Good 3pts, especially after the Villa result.
I thought Wirtz was MOM, but they all played their part today.
Has Mo's hamstring gone? I hope not.
Well done lads.

25 Apr 2026 18:12:35
Considering the fact that Slot sabotaged games before, by putting all the attackers on the bench and taking all our defensively minded players off, while switching Grav to center half and Dom to right back, trying to get a result, and then conceding last minute goals at the back post because the players on the pitch don't have any defensive sense, surely you can understand why he would make that decision.

25 Apr 2026 17:05:28
I was really worried for Freddie then with our luck in serious injuries this season. Thankfully he was able to continue. My motm, though, could have gone very wrong for us without those big saves.

25 Apr 2026 17:44:21
And I've just seen that Salah was taken off for a hamstring, potentially. I really hope that wasn't his last performance for us. He deserves the biggest send off. I had only been watching while working, and missed that.

25 Apr 2026 16:59:41
Not pretty at times but kept going until the end, a well deserved 3 points. I'll take 4th right now after the season we've had, thank you very much.

25 Apr 2026 17:10:07
The class and quality we have in the team finally makes a clear difference, three moments of pure quality from Jones, Isak, Wirtz, great performances from Woodman, Robbo and Dom too, of course.

25 Apr 2026 17:30:15
The Ballon d'Or winner for this season goes to Freddie Woodman. A Tree-mendous performance today, solid as an oak, and for the future he is definitely branching out, as he has firm roots.

For the Clot must stay brigade? Clot played Palace four times this season, one win from four, lost three = 25% win success rate against a team who will finish in the bottom half of the table.

Had we beat them at Wembley, at least we "wood" of won something this season, a Community Shield; instead "Wooden Spoons" all round.

25 Apr 2026 18:02:23
Who exactly is in the Slot must stay brigade? Think you're swinging at scarecrows there. If he stays, I will get behind him, of course, I prefer that he goes, but I supported the team every game, even when Hodgson was in the dugout.

25 Apr 2026 18:18:46
If he stays I won't be behind him.

He's proven his quality this year.

25 Apr 2026 22:33:40
No 8, with the season we've had, I'd happily take 5th, never mind.

25 Apr 2026 16:45:28
Co commentary on Preimersports is just pure anti-Liverpool. His willing Palace to score every time.

25 Apr 2026 17:02:15
Happens every Liverpool match regardless of channel, mate.

25 Apr 2026 17:02:17
God forbid somebody might support a different team...

25 Apr 2026 17:13:02
They're always at it, Chewy. Always tempting fate by saying things like, "Oh there could be another upset here for Liverpool", etc. They do it more so against us, it's that noticeable. Then again we do tend to be the producers of our own downfall at times.

25 Apr 2026 17:20:48
Get over yourselves, you're starting to sound like Arsenal fans.

25 Apr 2026 17:31:53
You're clearly not paying attention then if you haven't heard the obvious bias. You can hear it in their tone, even when they're not just jinxing us like John Motson used to do with England.

25 Apr 2026 17:35:14
Cheer up, Chewy, we've just won.

25 Apr 2026 17:45:59
Ironically, Bulk, it's your bias at play here. Comms do it for all teams, but it only stings when they do it for your own team (which is fair). But it does give the false impression of "everyone is against us".

25 Apr 2026 17:50:52
The idea that there is some kind of media bias against our club is for the birds. Commentators generally lean towards the underdog as it is a more exciting narrative.

A huge amount of pundits who did not play for us are LFC fans.

Gary Neville, of course, being the exception - and it is striking that even Roy Keane can be impartial when talking about us, and Neville can't.

25 Apr 2026 18:20:30
Or Bulk, we've been beaten by most every one this year.
So, not surprising they might say we could get upset.

Plus, Palace have beaten us 3 times this season.

Maybe they wouldn't say that if we weren't constantly susceptible to it.

25 Apr 2026 20:30:50
Incredibulk, I'm not messing one bit when I say that's a load of delusional whingebag tinfoil hat nonsense, and if you want to believe it you seriously need to grab yoursef an Arsenal kit and a roll of kitchen foil so you can go link up with the gooners because they absolutely love all that crap; they think the media, the refs, the league and everyone in between are conspiring against them, you'll have a great old time.

25 Apr 2026 16:20:01
Looks like it could be Mo's last game for LFC if he’s done his hammy, shame that.

25 Apr 2026 17:32:50
Played pretty well today as well.

25 Apr 2026 22:35:50
Agreed, Incredible, his form has picked up a bit last couple games.

25 Apr 2026 15:58:43
Score aside, same old same old! Woodman is currently my man of the match.

In this set-up under Slot, you would have to hate playing centre forward, the lack of service is absolutely incredible. I could be wrong, but by my calculations Isak has touched the ball six times (that includes his two touches in scoring the goal).



I would like to see if Rio was playing whether the service to Isak would/might improve?

25 Apr 2026 17:36:14
Guro, I find that Rio tends to go for goal himself, rather than set others up.

25 Apr 2026 15:49:56
Delighted Isak and Robbo on the score sheet, Woodman having a good game so far too.
