The game changed when we missed the second penalty. If you get a second chance at something, you take it. Ego determined we missed it.
Palma can play, there’s no doubt about that, but his ego is bigger than the team and needs to be reigned in. I would bench him and explain to him why. He either responds positively or he is replaced by someone who will. Too many times he is seen to play for himself. That is unacceptable and to allow it to continue is to condone it and that is sending out an extremely bad message.
Brendan Rodgers has to step up here and sort this out.
All in all, we were shown today we are at a crossroad. Only our best is good enough, and that performance today was nowhere good enough.
Those that think they can simply cruise through games need to be replaced by those who really want it. That is a must for me.
The danger signs are there Brendan. Get it sorted…
