Re: LFC Preseason Thread

[Nishankly]

Solanke was good but there's no chance of seeing him anywhere close to the first team for a while imo

Sturridge is receiving plaudits on all sites. I too thought he was off the mark.

[Nishankly]

First-half team: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Klavan, Flanagan, Henderson, Lallana, Woodburn, Salah, Coutinho, Firmino.

Second half: Karius, Gomez, Stewart, Lovren, Milner, Wijnaldum, Grujic, Chirivella, Solanke, Sturridge, Origi.

Extra subs: Grabara, Kent.

[Nishankly]

HT 1-1 Salah

Comical goal conceded as usuz

Salah scored but tbh Coutinho and Firmino were trying to set him up for ages.

First touches were absolutely all over the place, Very dire.

Woodburn at CM is looking like a decent option.

Flanagan is shite and needs to go asap. Worst performer of the half.

[Nishankly]

Second half was absolutely turd. The weather made it much worse. Glad no injuries.

Sturridge and Grujic were horrible.

Chirivella has improved a lot from his loan move, He's been excellent in both the games.

FT Wigan 1-1 Liverpool

Goal: Salah
Assist: Firmino

[Nishankly]

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace today in Hong Kong lmao

Team news:

[Nishankly]

Salah and Henderson at a different level compared to the team.

[Nishankly]

FT Liverpool 2-0 Palace.

Solanke and Origi scored

Solanke, Salah, Coutinho and Lovren were really good.

[Nishankly]

4th Friendly.

Liverpool vs Leicester. I like the fact we are playing against PL teams during pre season.



#LFC substitutes v @LCFC: Mignolet, Gomez, Henderson, Sturridge, Grujic, Klavan, Moreno, Solanke, Flanagan, Kent, Woodburn

Clyne is unfit.

[Nishankly]

Coutinho has been absolutely brilliant. I've never seen Mahrez get destroyed like that.
Salah looks great as well.

Shame Milner has some issue in right thigh. Hope that's nothing major.

HT Liverpool 2 (Salah, Coutinho) -1 (Slimani) Leicester

Klopp taking the piss with this trophy not playing a CM today.

[Nishankly]

FT 2-1. We should play PL teams more often in preseason.

first trophy of the season in the bag

Waking up knowing we are Premier League Asia Trophy Champions! Still not sunk in.

Liverpool twitter enjoying themselves

[Nishankly]

I'll be missing the match against Hertha and maybe Bayern as well through travel, If someone could take over and check Mane, Ings, Robertson and especially Coutinho out, It'll be good.

looks like coutinho will be gone by then

[Nishankly]

Playing Bayern tonight with the same squad as last year aka don't read into this game at all. Hope we get some change in midfield and defense by the end of month and stop these luxury signings like Salah and Solanke lmao

[Unique]

did anyone watch the game if so who were the stand out performers.

[Nishankly]

Moreno and Lovren were fantastic. The front four were untouchable as usual.

Second half Wijnaldum and Kent seemed bright.

Next match against Atletico is today in about 13 hours.

[Nishankly]

#LFC subs v @Atleti: Karius, Mignolet, Firmino, Origi, Henderson, Grujic, Robertson, Matip, Kent, Ejaria, Alexander-Arnold.

Lovren, Moreno, Coutinho and Salah rested.

Hope no injuries. Atletico plz don't be scummy.

[Curtinho]

Atletico were very scummy for the record. That said as soon as Firmino came on the game changed in our favour. I think this is the season people really start to appreciate just how good Bobby is. He's been our most productive player in preseason and he doesn't look like he's in full swing at all. Against Bayern you could really see what kind of game changer he is...he pulled their defensive shape apart by himself and they had no idea how to handle him.

[Nishankly]

The Audi cup was *bleep* riducolous. 2 high intensity games in less than 48 hours, Utter nonsense.

Lallana out for 3 months.
Sturridge and Clyne won't be fit for the start of the season.
Henderson and Coutinho have knocks.

The last friendly today against Bilbao at Dublin. Kick off in about 4 hours.

[Unique]

I been impressed with young kent in preseason I hope will don't ship him out.

[Nishankly]

#LFC subs v @AthleticClub: Karius, Ward, Wijnaldum, Gomez, Klavan, Mane, Robertson, Solanke, Flanagan, Kent, Ejaria, Woodburn.

Weird Mane doesnt start.

[Nishankly]

HT 1-1

Firmino and Milner doing really well, Everyone else there for a walk in the park.

[iftikhar]

I wonder what's the status of Ings???

3-1 BTW

[Nishankly]

FT 3-1, Kids lightened it up in the second haldf. Woodburn and Solanke with wonderful finishes. Solanke should be second choice striker if preseason counts at all.

[Curtinho]

Firmino will challenge for PotY this season. He's absolutely not only our best but most important player. He's fantastic, and will facilitate a crazy number of goals with his skill, movement, pressing and intelligence.
