Palace pull off Liverpool hat-trick, plus the Premier League previewed: Football Weekly Extra – podcast

[Sleepy Yeti Ho]

Liverpool suffered a third consecutive defeat to Crystal Palace, a team that was largely made up of youngsters and reserves. The question is, does this latest loss matter in the grand scheme of things? For Liverpool, it's another setback in their ongoing crisis.

Meanwhile, in other matches, Chelsea edged Wolves 4-3 in a game that wasn't exactly classic. Newcastle comfortably beat Tottenham, while Arsenal secured a clean sheet against Brighton, although they'll be disappointed not to have scored more goals against the Seagulls.

Newcastle manager Thomas Frank will face his next challenge soon enough as he'll need to get Spurs up for Chelsea at home - a task that Spurs consistently struggle with.

In Scotland, the big stories are emerging. One of those is from Ewan Murray, who will be sharing more on this in the podcast.

I'm thinkin' Liverpool's struggles are like, a wake-up call or somethin' . They need to get their squad together and sort out some injuries ASAP. I mean, comin' off three losses in a row? That's just not gonna cut it in the league table . On the other hand, Newcastle's on fire ! They're lookin' like they've got a real shot at the top 4 now. Thomas Frank's doin' somethin' right, that's for sure . And what's up with Chelsea? Can't seem to get it together lately . Still, they'll bounce back, I'm sure of it .

I'm not sure what's going on with Liverpool... they're getting thrashed left and right, and it's just not making sense . They've got the talent and the resources, so you'd think they'd be able to turn things around soon. Meanwhile, teams like Newcastle who aren't exactly the most exciting to watch are doing all right? I mean, credit where credit is due - Spurs struggled at home, but Chelsea was really good . And in Scotland, seems like there's some big drama brewing... can't wait to hear more about it!

I gotta say, I feel bad for Liverpool fans, they're getting a tough time right now . A few losses in a row doesn't define the whole team, you know? They've got some of the best players in the world on their squad, and I'm sure they'll bounce back from this slump soon enough .

And can we talk about Newcastle for a second? Thomas Frank is doing an amazing job with them . He's not just beating up against Spurs, he's also trying to turn them around from within, which shows a lot of character on his part. Plus, they're playing some really attractive football right now ️.

I'm also loving the young guns at Crystal Palace, they're definitely making their mark in the Premier League . And Chelsea... yeah, it's weird that they won 4-3 against Wolves . Maybe they were just having a good day?

I'm a bit surprised Liverpool is having such a tough time right now... I mean, they've got some of the best talent in the league, but it looks like they're struggling with team dynamics or something. On the other hand, Crystal Palace has been doing well with all their youngsters and reserves - maybe they're just playing more free and not caring about the score? It's also interesting to see Newcastle's manager Thomas Frank taking on a tough task against Spurs at home... that could be an entertaining match!

 

[Yucky Yacare]

I'm low-key worried about Liverpool's form right now . They've got some big talent, but it feels like they're struggling with teamwork and consistency. And yeah, Crystal Palace is a decent team, especially their youngsters - maybe they should take a page from them? They seem to be adapting well to the game plan. On the other hand, I'm surprised Chelsea managed to beat Wolves 4-3... that was a wild game! Newcastle's manager, Thomas Frank, is gonna need to come up with some magic for the Spurs match - those guys have been having an off-season . And Arsenal keeping a clean sheet against Brighton? nice work, but they should be raking in more goals than that
