Salah. It's like a new signing.

What a video, the media team clearly had a heads up, but this one is superb.  Great fan interviews, awesome highlights and I love the way they portray the city.

No idea. Before signing Mo I thought if they brought in an attacker it'd be a signal regarding Mo's negotiations. At this point I don't expect anything to happen but we'll see I guess.

Fantastic news and even with no more signings this was a pretty fantastic summer. I still want a midfielder but seems like we're putting our eggs in the Bellingham basket and are willing to wait until next summer if Dortmund are set on keeping him another season. 

 

[pied06 228]

New number for Harvey. I like him. A lot. 
 

 

 

[pied06 228]

First day back. 
 

 

[mdmost 42997]

Wouldn't be a new season without a bunch of a fixture changes.

Two Mondays and a Wednesday now. 

 

[406W30th 1111]

Sounds like Neco is close to a move to Nottingham Forest for £16M. Not bad business at all and a good move for him.

 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

I hope we are including buy back clauses in some of these deals...

Neco’s never going to start at RB for us. And he wants to start. 

[406W30th 1111]

 

Good news for people who like CB depth.

Some new material for pied06! Good for Joe.

Have to say, this one surprises me. With his talent, I assumed he'd push for a transfer. He starts at 75% of the clubs in the top tier leagues.

Kinda what I thought and I’m glad we locked him up. I don’t think he’s as good as Konate in the future but he’s a really really really high level backup while we have VvD, Matip, and Konate. Great move to lock him in

[pied06 228]

VVD - 31 (tomorrow)

Matip - (31 next month)

Gomez - 25

Konate - 23

 

For me, getting Gomez to buy into a small waiting game is brilliant.  We don't have too much longer for VVD/Matip's prime.  I think Gomez/Konate could be as good as VVD/_______ in a few years.  If for some reason it doesn't work out, he's under contract and has value to the club in case of a sale.

 

The mid/long-term ramfications are GREAT.  Easy to see Joe wanting more playing time right now, but Julian Ward (and Klopp) appears to be a wizard.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Maldini played until he reached 40 and it wouldn't shock me to see VVD do the same. 100% agree that Gomez has tremendous upside and is a fantastic backup until VVD slows down.

Seems like we're getting the away kit release tomorrow to coincide with the match in Thailand. Mockups I've seen have me thinking it's going to cause much consternation.

Which mock-up was it? The white?

[mdmost 42997]

Yeah. The one that looks like an oil slick.

[mdmost 42997]

 

[pied06 228]

Clearly a pre-season game.  PLaying in new kit.  It's bad.  Hope it looks better far away on TV.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Not something I'd pay money for, but will look fine on the pitch

[pied06 228]

Disappointing
united go ahead on 12 minutes after the ball from Fernandes isn't dealt with by Mabaya and Sancho tucks away into the bottom corner from about 10 yards.

Disappointing goal for Liverpool to concede.

 

 

Sounds like Diaz and Elliott looking good so far.

[pied06 228]

GOAL! man united 2-0 Liverpool (Fred)
Fred scores for man united after he chips the ball over Alisson from the edge of the penalty area.

 

Subs incoming?
Wholesale Liverpool changes should be incoming in a couple of minutes. LFC TV commentary team confirming Jurgen Klopp is planning on playing three different XIs for 30 minutes each.

 

lol

 

Liverpool substitutions

Liverpool make 10 changes, with Alisson the only player staying on the pitch.

[pied06 228]

Down 3-0.  Anyone recognize the bolded?

 

Liverpool line-up after 10 changes
Here's how Liverpool now line up after those changes on the half hour mark.

Alisson; Frauendorf, Matip, Williams, Tsimikas; Milner, Bajcetic, Clarkson; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Clark, Jones.

[mdmost 42997]

This match is going about as well as whenever I see them in the preseason. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Looks like Klopp is using this as an opportunity to scout a few up-and-comers.

ManU playing it like the CL final.

I'm assuming that's Rhys Williams? Clarkson is a midfielder who got a start in the meaningless Champions League match against Mitjyland a couple seasons ago. Bobby Clark is a hot shit 17-year old forward who we poached from Newcastle about six months ago. The Magpies were apopleptic about it.

 

[pied06 228]

Rhys, that's right. Don't recall Clarkson but Bobby Clark's stroy seems to ring a bell.

[pied06 228]

I know more of these guys. 

 

 

A further 10 changes are being made by Liverpool.

The likes of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk all introduced.

[mdmost 42997]

 

[mdmost 42997]

Early preseason knee jerk reaction. So I guess we're getting relegated. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Klopp Out

[mdmost 42997]

If it can't be Carlsberg again, at least it won't be something worse.

Jota might've injured his hamstring again.

 

Edited July 14, 2022 by mdmost

[pied06 228]

It's early, but if Firmino is in as good of form as Klopp keeps saying and Nunez can some on, Jota may be fighting more than expected for minutes later on.

if we play any 4-2-3-1 there will be plenty of minutes for Jota. He is underrated by so much of our fan base.

34 goals and 9 assists in 85 matches played for Liverpool. He hit a dry spell at the end of a long season, but for stretches he was basically scoring every game. Assuming the injury doesn't linger, he'll be a huge part of our squad this season.

 

[pied06 228]

I rate him, just saying that we have gone from Mo/Sadio/Jota with Bobby ad Elliott waiting to backup.  Now we have Mo/Diaz/Nunez/Jota with Bobby & Elliott.  More numbers and if Bobby is healthy and good to go then they'll be fighting for minutes.  

[pied06 228]

Up 2-0 on Palace just into the 2nd half.  Jota/Alisson/Gomez held out, the latter two as a precautonit seems.  Ox had to come off right before half which sucks.

Total team change at HT.

Henderson and Mo with goals.  Sounds like we're looking a little more in shape today.

[maninblack 7974]

Matheus Nunes name has popped up again in the rumor mill. 

[maninblack 7974]

Ben Davies sold

 

[mdmost 42997]

[mdmost 42997]

Fairly serious lineup for RB Leipzig today. 

 

[pied06 228]

Things you like to see in a preseason game.

 

GOALLLLLL! Leipzig 0-1 Liverpool

Mohamed Salah slots into the bottom left corner past Gulacsi and Liverpool lead in Germany.

 

[mdmost 42997]

Two goals for Nunez so far in the 2nd half. One on a penalty. You love to see it.
