I think that was Rodgers making it clear to wee Jay that he's not really even in the depth charts for midfield at this point.

I would agree, but it certainly confused me when I saw the teamsheets before the match.

That is cooooold

Its the unmistakable width of the eyes.

Spoiler:

OT: Hope to see Borini, Alberto, Aaspas, Assaidi, Coutinho and definitely not Pacheco who has been confirmed to be the team's masseuse.

Target is 7-0, to which Arsenal beat the Indonesians. Anything outside that scoreline will render our season an absolute failure.

Let me get something straight here

Are we playing Indonesia NT or Indonesian League All Stars??

Pacheco hasn't gone on the tour, so he certainly won't be making an appearance.

Glad to see we've started our customary knee-jerking early this year.

Basic logic Treddie. Arsenal overcame the team 7-0, therefore if we do not match that, it will translate into that Arsenal are a better equipped team for us this year.

Anything outside an 8-0= Us finishing below Arsenal. 7-1 or 6-0? Failure tbh.

Everything can be judged from this game.

All stars Swagger, These games are always termed as ABC all stars or ABC XI probably to avoid embarrassment even though they'll lose badly.

i think you might have seen this already, just wanted to post it here.

I thought it was a morning tea time joke.

Good news. Hopefully we'll get to see Coutinho, Stevie, Lucas, Aspas, Agger, Borini, and Alberto all at the same time.

Aaaargh, don't care about friendlies, just want that Stoke game to come already!  

The name stoke always frightens me although I am nowhere near the pitch, after last season the first real test for BR, I guess i have to hold it till the actual thread appears  . Btw, I dont care about 7-0 or 14-0 in tomo match.

Just to clear it up, my previous comments on friendlies were a joke and satire to RAWK. If anything, losing would do us good.

I'm with you Art, but friendlies are an exciting measure of how players can be integrated within our squad, along with their subsequent abilities.

I do wish like the Italians or mid-table English clubs, that we'd face-off v relevant teams as these Asian tour spiels are very boring.

I think these tours are very good for the fans abroad. It would be a shame if those great fans in the far east never got to see our team live. It just wouldn't be fair to anyone. So I'm very happy.

These tours are amazing, Financially and fitness wise, people die here in Asia to see these players live, Its not like Liverpool has fans only in the UK.

Less than 6 hours left

Live on ESPN, no streaming, hopefully A-league all stars beat the scum and we thrash Indonesia.

two and half hours  

Im sorry for your loss mrr, But there was some slick passing in the midfield from the All stars.

The Reds team in full is: Mignolet, Johnson, Enrique, Agger, Toure, Lucas, Gerrard, Alberto, Downing, Coutinho, Aspas.

Subs: Jones, Assaidi, Henderson, Spearing, Allen, Borini, Sterling, Kelly, Skrtel, Flanagan, Wisdom, Robinson, Ibe.

Strong team.

Very strong team. In the absence of Suarez and Sturridge, this will be our starting XI.

Of course it was. I never took as anything different (hence the smiley). However, we've all seen the LFC supporters whose views reflect your comments, but subtract the satire.

I enjoy friendlies to the extent that I get a good look at a mix of youth, new players, and the established squad. In situations like we are (new manager last year, and several squad additions this season), firendlies are a great way to get a feel for those players you don't know yet and see how they will fit within the squad. Of course, it's not the be-all end-all of tactical analysis, but it temporarily satisfies those of us who are jonesing for a football fix.

Moreover, friendlies and tours like this one are a huge boon to the clubs financial and commercial interests. Did you see the support in Jakarta?! These supporters came out in droves to see the Reds. From the romantic point of view, this tour gives them the opportunity to see their heroes and replicate the atmosphere and experience most of them have only dreamed of. The more cynical view states that it's a market starved of attention, just waiting for a reason to pour money into the coffers. Either way, it's a great idea for the club to explore these markets.

Hmm... that starting lineup seems darned close to our best available squad.

I wonder if it will be:
or
