Reactions from fans as Jurgen Klopp discovers a “new super sub” after Crystal Palace voctory

Fans hail Harvey Elliott as “the difference maker” and acknowledge Klopp’s “brilliant” substitutes.

It took place once more. Liverpool stunned Crystal Palace with a 2-1 victory after falling behind by one goal and outlasting the Reds in celebration!

With a 12.30 start, no first-half shots on goal, and a penalty conceded, it felt like one of those days.

Even in their worst moments, this Liverpool team is capable of incredible comebacks; Mohamed Salah scored the equalizer first, followed by Harvey Elliott for the winning goal.

Regarding the latter, he again demonstrated his impact off the bench as his strike sealed the comeback; his 31 touches, two recoveries, and victory in his lone ground duel all proved crucial.

Elliott was one of the final two substitutions made, and while the style of the entire performance was not lost, his performance and Klopp’s decision to make the changes were commended.

Harvey is a standout among Klopp’s substitutes.

Harvey Elliott, the newest super sub!
He makes an impact from the bench in every game.

Elliott’s stunning goal changed Liverpool’s attacking style, and Mohamed Salah’s continued ability to score when it matters most propelled the Reds to the top of the

Elliott had a huge impact off the bench, as he has often done this season. Not only did he score the goal, but he also gave Liverpool so much quality, poise, and energy both on and off the ball. He has extraordinary sense of position. Always in the ideal position to catch the ball.

HHe didn’t “just” score the GWG goal today; he made a significant impact for Liverpool. switched on and displayed initiative and ambition right away. Runs against the defense, opening passes, and closing passes. Simple as it may be, these actions have awakened a previously dozing Liverpool.

HHe did more than “just” score Liverpool’s goal today; he had a big impact. turned on and immediately demonstrated ambition and initiative. opening passes, closing passes, and runs against the defense. As basic as it sounds, these moves have roused a Liverpool that had been asleep.

Elliott has evolved into a finisher (in terms of game situation rather than just scoring goals), which is something I don’t think many of us saw coming last season, but it fits him well, and his skill set is adaptable to any game state.

“Right now, winning ugly is all about the outcomes.

“The world’s best keeper.” And incredibly joyful for Harvey Elliott. It appears that this season will define him. — Srikanth Suresh in the TIA remarks

Gomez, Elliott, and Jones had a significant impact in the closing moments. Outstanding when playing off the bench.

That is a significant victory. Awful performance, but it manages to come through somehow. at the top of the division.

Again, ugly victory—talk about tenacity!

This Liverpool team is peculiar. They seem to require a setback before anything positive can ignite them. It is quite annoying to see them sleepwalk into problems, but it is also incredibly admirable how resilient and self-assured they are to keep getting by.

Turgid game, poor performance, what a win.

Up the Reds.

Liverpool are top of the league with one loss since April and the best goal difference, and I’m sat here feeling clueless as to how good they actually are.

Liverpool a long way from their best and perhaps a bit lucky today but you take what you can get from a 12.30pm kick-off away from home in such a gruelling period. The mentality that keeps them winning is why they deserve to be top, even if they will have to play better soon.

“Gomez and Elliot changed the game for us, after the sending off. I’ll take an ugly win any day of the week. Over to you Villa.” – Plissken in TIA comments.

That’s a humongous result.
Getting two HUGE slices of luck (red card, deflection) at the perfect time is the kind of marginal gain that makes a difference over 38. You never want to use up your luck when you’re comfortably ahead.
Oh, and Alisson easily MOM. #lfc

Never do it the easy way Liverpool, do they? Big, big win. Harvey Elliott and Alisson Becker the two standouts.

Liverpool have won 18 points from losing positions this season, three more than the whole of 2022-23 – and seven more than any other team this term (Brighton, 11).

Beaten B’mouth, Newcastle, Wolves, Fulham and Palace when behind – drawn at Brighton, Luton and City.#LFC ?

Liverpool, they really do not like doing it the easy way, do they? That is now 18 points won from losing positions this season, this team is never down and out.

The final two league games before Christmas are at Anfield between Man United and Arsenal, giving Jurgen Klopp’s team a huge opportunity.
