Hoffenheim 1 Liverpool 2

August 16, 2017

 

Posted at 10:15h in Uncategorized by

It might not have been perfect but like Jürgen said, it was okay.  An away win in Europe regardless has to be seen as a good result but as the old cliché says, we’re only half way through.  In the greater scheme of things Hoffenheim aren’t one of the biggest clubs in Germany but they...

Football Crazy By Graham Mack

English football clubs are missing out on revenue because of a dumb rule THEY agreed to more than fifty years ago. We got news this week that it’s going to get harder to watch the Premier League on TV this season. A lot of people have been watching games on Kodi through PCs, X-Boxes, Google TV and...

TICKET OFFICE MELTDOWN BY MR WHIPPY

August 14, 2017

 

Posted at 12:15h in Uncategorized by

Not a good week for the ticket office. First it seems that up to two thirds of the auto cup payments for Hoffenheim at home failed and fans were asked by the club to process the payments themselves; then the sales announcement for the away game told fans that they could collect or have tickets...

The Blog #1

On Friday night I watched Liverpool Under 23’s play away at Swansea at the Welsh clubs academy.  It was pouring with rain and the pitch looked a bit like it was set on a school playing field.  The Liverpool side was something of an assortment of players who’d been on loan last season but had...

Watford 3 Liverpool 3

A banquet at one end, a dog’s dinner at the other.  There will be many descriptions of our opening day show but they will just about all focus on the same issues that dogged us from Brendan Rodger’s time to now.  If Jürgen is happy with his defensive options maybe we should ask if he’s...

Liverpool 3 Bilbao 1

August 8, 2017

 

Posted at 13:57h in Uncategorized by

The sun shone in Dublin, Jurgen sounded happy, the 51,000 crowd sounded happy and the two second half goals that clinched the win made everybody watching on telly happy. Woodburn and Solanke could cause a few defences problems in a season or two...

Liverpool 1 Atletico Madrid 1 [Lost on pens]

August 8, 2017

 

Posted at 13:53h in Uncategorized by

I didn’t take the penalty shoot out loss against Atlético as a defeat I saw it as a run out for those on the fringe.  Playing two games in the space of a day wasn’t a good idea and it was pedestrian stuff most of the time.  Jürgen keeps saying we should defend better and...

Bayern Munich 0 Liverpool 3

August 2, 2017

 

Posted at 12:34h in Uncategorized by

It’s hard to believe we went to the Allianz Arena and strolled to a three-nil win over the might of Bayern Munich.  Hard to believe but that’s what we did.  It’s still pick and mix time for teams in these pre-season games but when I looked at our starting eleven, especially the attacking players ours...

Hertha Berlin 0 Liverpool 3

August 2, 2017

 

Posted at 12:33h in Uncategorized by

Friendly matches can sometimes be deceiving but there were signs again against Hertha Berlin that Liverpool have an abundance of attacking options the like of which we haven’t seen for many a year. The Germans had a decent season last time around but it’s hard to gauge what level they are currently at but nevertheless...
