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...
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...
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...
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...

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...

Instead of the usual pre-season training most of the time seemed spent...
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...
The Redmen made a waterway pilgrimage to Prenton Park to play the nearly boys from the National League. In case confusion reigns, Tranny nearly won promotion back to the big time of what was in old money, The Fourth Division. I like pre-season friendlies as a rule because we get a few new and/or obscure...
