Richards endures nightmare outing vs Liverpool, but Palace star must quickly put it behind
Crystal Palace fell to a 3-1 loss at the hands of Liverpool in a match the Eagles will feel they deserved more from.
Palace hit the frame of the goal twice and blew their opponents away in terms of expected goals, but could not secure the three points.
Eagles boss Oliver Glasner believes his team was competitive, but Palace’s usually sturdy defence proved too fragile.
The South Londoners were poor defensively, especially Chris Richards, who had a shocker on the right side of the three-man rearguard.
The American international (36 caps) won only 4/14 duels and lost possession 13 times. To make matters worse, he also missed an excellent chance.
Palace had kept 12 clean sheets in the Premier League before yesterday, boasting one of the stingiest backlines in the English top flight, but they seemed to wilt.
Jaydee Canvot and Maxence Lacroix were also guilty of losing too many duels in a game where they needed to be strong.
