John Barnes says £20m Crystal Palace player could cause Liverpool problems
Crystal Palace face Liverpool this weekend, and they head into this game as serious underdogs.
Indeed, Palace haven’t had the best of starts this season, they sit 18thꦯ in the Premier League and are yet to win a single game.
🍸That said, the Eagles do still have what it takes to cause a few problems.
Indeed, towards the end of last season, Palace were one of the best teams in England, and if they can rediscover that sort of form, they could upset Liverpool.
Speaking on the , John Barnes has been previewing this game, and he says that while he’s not too worried about Crystal Palace, he’s slightly concerned about Eberechi Eze and the impact he could have in this game.

John Barnes worried about Eberechi Eze
🌄Barnes spoke about the man and the problems he could cause in this match.
ဣ“Against Palace I don’t think they will dominate us in midfield. Talk about Van Dijk and Konate, they are strong, Mateta causes problems because he’s big and strong, but if you come up against those two at the back, the physicality won’t cause problems,” Barnes said.
🌳“Eze is the one we really have to look out for, Jordan Ayew was dangerous with his dribbling and stuff, same with Olise, but I’m looking at Palace and I don’t think they’re as attacking a threat as they were last year.”
Eberechi Eze could be the difference
🌳Crystal Palace head into this game as underdogs, but if they manage to get a result here, it may be down to Eze’s brilliance.
ღEze is one of few players in the Premier League who can simply win a game by himself, when he turns it on, he’s absolutely unplayable, and while we’ve not see much of that this season, he is often the man for the big occasion.
🃏Oliver Glasner won’t be overly confident heading into this match, but you can never write off a team that has a player like Eze at their disposal.
