Since it's a pre-season cup, it's not worth putting too much weight on Liverpool, but Crystal Palace gave them a good lesson. I wasn't expecting them to fight for the title with the same hunger and excitement this season anyway. Although Slot is trying to play the same game, they've already shown the first signs -especially Salah- that they won't be as good as last season. Wirtz and Frimpong made their debut and they were quite good. However, the rest of the team couldn't keep up with them. Like many champion teams, they also seem to have some complacency.
Last season, Liverpool simply continued the squad that Klopp had carefully built and assembled. This season, he has added several new players and made some strategic changes. But I think the results have been quite good, although some weaknesses have begun to emerge in Liverpool's defense. This may be due to the departure of one of their key defenders, and his replacement isn't as good as the departed player. And we have to admit, Crystal Palace are truly improving. Last season, they also won the FA Cup final against Manchester City. And honestly, I didn't expect that result at the time. I was so confident Manchester City would win. And now, in the Community Shield, Crystal Palace have once again surprised me and many others who favored Liverpool. And although the score was a draw in normal time, winning on penalties was a remarkable achievement in terms of mentality and shooting skills between the teams. And Crystal Palace managed to win. So, yes, that's quite a positive thing for Crystal Palace. And this result should serve as a lesson for Liverpool so they can improve in the Premier League.
Bruh this is not a preseason game, this is community shield, and with this trophy it shows that the season is already began in the English premier League, so looking at it as a preseason game is kinda totally wrong, let's just admit the fact that crystal palace was the better side yesterday and they won which was out of expectation like everyone gives the credit to Liverpool before the game but just like Chelsea crystal palace shock everyone and came out victorious, the fact is slot spent €500m+ to lost his first official game of the season, truth be told if they should continue like this hmm it's sure gonna be a tough season for them believe me.
