Watford 3 Liverpool 3

August 14, 2017

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...

Liverpool 2 Leicester 1 [PL Asia Trophy]

July 22, 2017

 

Posted at 17:36h in Uncategorized by

Jürgen finally wins a trophy so let’s rejoice.  The game against Leicester was typical of a pre-season game.  The first half was something akin to entertaining with three decent goals and some good football from both sides.  Our attacking play at times was sublime although maybe we did occasionally try to overdo the simple things...

Liverpool 2 Crystal Palace 0 [Asia Trophy]

July 19, 2017

 

Posted at 15:22h in Uncategorized by

Before the wonderfully named Premier League Asia Trophy got started I got the impression Jürgen looked and sounded like someone who’d planned to go to the South of France but had to make do with a week in Southport during the rainy season.  Instead of the usual pre-season training most of the time seemed spent...

Wigan 1 Liverpool 1

July 15, 2017

 

Posted at 09:34h in Uncategorized by

Wigan Piers: The days when every player reported for pre-season training at the same time have long gone and from what I gather Emre Can has only just started his holiday and is probably negotiating the price of a sun bed instead of talking a new contract.  The news that Mohamed Salah would get a...
