KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum pre-season fixtures

as always we`ll make friends on the road but i have to admitt that i very disappointed over this season friendly fixtures they been all over the place - the 2 that stand out are the 1 against valencia and now the norway much has taken on a great significance which in the wake of the massacre there and our experience of the hillsborough disaster a special bonding with there people - so i hope we send our top players there to show respect to their dead

back to next year i think we should make our signings early and go to a big international tournament and set our stall out early

i dont think this years pre season has made clear our intentions obviously theres still some work to be done in the backroom so our players are in the right frame of mind for whats ahead

who would we like to see our players pitted against i say a south american team a european latin team a top german team and one of the dutch teams

what do you all think
whats your views on our build up and what would you like to see

It really doesn`t matter, what does matter is that we use the time to prepare those that are going to feature so they can boind quickly and start to gain confidence. What we do is play the guys who will never feature and young boys who are not ready, add to that we play them out of position, what a waste.!

I can see why you would like to show everyone our intent but the truth is these are planned well in advance and the time table is set in stone more or less,also you cant risk injured/tournament players too early,they need more time to recover from the injuries or tournaments ie luis so it can boil down to what we all know turns out to be pointless games ie last nights one,the players need games under their belts yes but its not always possible sadly.

Well Arsenal always host their Emirates Cup which is being played the last weekend of July.

They prepare for that every year, and most of their first XI players feature in the line up. They use that cup to gel the squad and get a real good finish to their pre season.

Why the fëck is something similar impossible for us?

I mean what's the point fielding so called players like Poulsen and Degen? No one close to sanity will ever gonna sign them anyway. Showing up dead rats in the shopping window doesn't help much, does it?

yes preseason games are simply comittments they cant/wont get out of,i have to say i wouldnt buy some of those players there either! the only hope is the fact some did actually buy konchesky!

i dont get a day off from supporting liverpool so why should the players lol

Yeah, Sven Sven Sven Sven-Goran Eriksson! His old coach from the England side!

Maybe we should get in contact with Woy and Degen's old coach and see whether they are interestad in signing them?
