    Still the mistakes keep coming. This time Alberto Moreno misjudges Dejan Lovren's pass - Liverpool's very own Chuckle Brothers this afternoon - and lets the ball bobble out for a throw in.

    No changes for either side at the break. Well, not in personnel anyway. As you were...

    Ready for more of the same? I'm going for a 8-7 Palace win...

    Imagine what is being said in the two dressing rooms now?! Pards will be flinging tea cups at the walls, Klopp will probably be laughing manically as he points out where his players must improve.

    Five goals in the first half, 4 of which were headers. Great attacking play, or shambolic defending at both ends? Have your say at #bbcfootball on Twitter or text 81111.

    Daniel Hooley: Liverpool going for forward look world beaters. At the back however, they look like Leyland Albion under 6s.  

    Naveen Kumar Singh: You head I head....story of the match so far.

    Ben Walton: What a match! Liverpool looking awesome this season!! Not sure how Crystal Palace managed to get two though.

    Daniel Woodley: This is defensively the worst game of the season in the Premier League Both sides have been a shambles at the back.

    In the context of this manic match, this injury-time has been tame. Oh, hang on. Liverpool have a free-kick...

    Palace, for once this evening, organise themselves properly at a set-piece. That should be about that.

    I shall have a guess that the stats will show that there have been less fouls in this match than any other match today.

    It's almost like Marriner is enjoying this game so much he's put his whistle away in his pocket!

    Three minutes of injury time at the end of a ridiculous first half. Time for another couple of goals then...

    Five goals already! That was very poor defending.

    It's a super corner by Coutinho, super pace and trajectory. If they had Delaney would they have a better chance of defending these corners? 

    Two free headers after all the superb football that's been played? Irony.

    Joel Matip

    This is brilliant. For us neutrals at least. But it is brilliant bad defending for Alan Pardew. His Palace players switch off - again - at Philippe Coutinho's corner, allowing Joel Matip to thump in a free header.

    Is Liverpool's defence strong enough?

    Kartik Venkat: Liverpool are never going to win the title with rubbish defending like this!

    Vieira151: Why do Liverpool concede every single time the opponents shoot? It's worrying.

    David Castle: Liverpool's defending is like a Horror Movie.

    Rob Williams: Is this brilliant or awful? I can't decide.

    Having conceded two McArthur headers inside the first 35 minutes, is Liverpool's defence strong enough to compete for the title? Have your say at #bbcfootball on Twitter or text 81111.

    James Tomkins is the only person inside Selhurst Park keeping his cool. The Palace defender calmly steps over Adam Lallana's daisy-cutter at his own far post as the ball goes out for a goal-kick.

    Terrific play by Firmino down the right, terrific header by Coutinho and a fantastic save by Mandanda onto the post.

    The footwork of Coutinho and Firmino is fantastic. And then how does Mane lift the ball over the bar? That's so wasteful.

    I've lost count of what the score should be...

    A message to Andre Marriner: don't blow your half-time whistle. Please.

    What. A. Miss. Sadio Mane has done little wrong since arriving from Southampton last summer, but this is a black mark against his name. Somehow he fires a loose ball over the bar from close range.

    What a save! Philippe Coutinho thinks he's scored - but Steve Mandanda has other ideas. The Palace keeper pushes the little Brazilian's six-yard header onto this right-hand post. Incredible.

    We've seen both sides of Alberto Moreno in this opening 35 minutes. Now it is his defensive deficiencies as he makes a hash of a clearance and Palace almost capitalise.
