Liverpool only pulled out to Crystal Palace to close the 2024/25 Premier League campaign. I have no choice. The Arne Slot side can give a looseness in the standard after dominating the lion’s share of this year.
No one gave the Reds a shot, but they won the biggest award to return to the perch by winning the 20th top flight title.
It’s a relentless year and it’s understandable that the hosts struggle to impose themselves against the palace, the FA Cup champion.
However, since sealing the trophy, he has never denied that Liverpool has only claimed two points. Now it’s about rest and recovery over the summer months before returning to defend the title for the upcoming season and challenging on other fronts.
Sadly, the champions are forced to start their second season under the wings of the slot without team Ryan Gravenburch.
Why Ryan Gravenbellch was sent
On Saturday, Greygunbellch was the young season player in the Premier League, rising from the mid-ring ranks to become a superstar of the team, a key piece and a beating heart.
He’s great all year round, saving the greatest blunder of the territory, hacking Kawaka Island Daichi, down Liverpool 1-0 and seeing the red card glare.
As a result, Dutch International will offer a three-match suspension, missing out on the Community Shield against the Eagles and the first two fixtures of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
It’s a big blow, and these early fall week struggles over flux highlight the scale of Greygun Birch’s role in the slot system.
There is another member of the Sunday starting lineup. They may not be able to find themselves in the starting lineup frequently next year, but that’s not a disciplinary reason.
Certainly, Andy Robertson has shown against the Oliver Glasner side why Slot and FSG are keen to replace him in the summer transfer market.
Andy Robertson showed why he should be x
Robertson has been with Liverpool since joining the £10 million package from Hull City in 2017, surpassing Anfield Road, where FSG knows he’s dug up himself.
Against Crystal Palace, the 31-year-old played his 342nd match with the club, and there’s no doubt that he lacks his former athleticism and electricity.
It wasn’t a great display in any stretch, but Liverpool Echo’s Ian Doyle gave him a 6/10 match rating.
However, the data suggests that he was well left to be desired.

It was not the most efficient day in the office for Scottish skippers. Its creative skills have slowed down, resulting in rotten results in its defensive applications. Robertson tried seven crosses, lost all four duels and failed to find his man who failed to create one key pass despite losing 17 times the ball.
A key pass is a pass that directly scores the opponent’s goal.
The low block at the palace was strong and safe, but the false effort to break Robertson’s defense was in vain, and there are all reasons why slots pushed a new left-back as Trent Alexander Arnold set out for Real Madrid this summer.
Next year, Robertson’s first team will have a spot that has given Liverpool a lot, but it will be a disadvantage for this budding project to go back in first choice position. You need a new guy to take the baton.
And while the guy may be Milos Kerquez, Fabrizio Romano confirms his speech as the Reds seek a long-term replacement.
Bournemouth’s Kerquez praised Dougie Critchley, one of the biggest breakout successes in the Premier League this season and Sky Sports’ “absolutely exceptional” efforts.
Only 21, he set Liverpool’s left-back berth for many seasons.
Robertson, who is signed at the end of next season, hopes to play a role throughout the second season of the slot, but beyond that, it is clear that Kerkez has the ability to throw his eyes and snuggle into a prominent position.
Liverpool is fine. Robertson is clearly above his best, but he played a tool-play role in securing another Premier League title.
But sentiment aside, the veterans’ performance against Crystal Palace shows exactly why Liverpool needs an upgrade to be powerful and powerful in the next semester.
