And the best thing? our most exciting players haven't even played yet: benteke, firmino, coutinho......sturridge?
I'm pleased with the squad changes but disappointed that the likes of Allen and Henderson are still going to be playing a part. If we want to be in the CL, we'll need much better players than them.

Henderson and Allen are both great athletes and operators. It's a shame some fans can't recognise some of the qualities of our players and only recognise the ones that a 5 year-old could spot (pace, shooting, flamboyant ball skills).

I have a blind spot when it comes to Joe Allen's talents....you have a blind spot when it comes to Brendan Rodgers' incompetencies. No one's perfect.

Joe Allen has been immense defensively. I don't think he should be first choice but I really like him in this holding role. His best position for me.
Gomez has been brilliant every minute since he put on Liverpool red.
No idea why Brendan swapped Gomez for Moreno. Would prefer to see him sub Lovren or Clyne and move the young lad over. His beard is impressive, but defensively "immense"?? slight exaggeration as his best moments have been going forward. Definitely not! For the most part he sat back, broke up play in our defensive third, recycled the ball in the midfield and gave an easy option. I thought he was fantastic in that role today and that's his best position. I don't want him to be a starter, we need a true leader in that role but he's definitely second choice for me. Can't rely on Lucas' fitness and he slows down our attack too much when on the ball.

We need to buy William Carvalho
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Would prefer an older head if I'm honest but definitely in that mould. Javi Martinez, barely plays at Bayern. Surely it's possible. Otherwise, Krychowiak would be next.

the doomongers in the forum are not pleased by the pre season , but i will say not only have the performances been very good , as the habit of losing can be bad the habit of winning can breed confidence and is good .
