KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Pre-Season Liverpool Loose Again

Lucas scores but we end-up loosing again. Your thoughts please!

We look just about ready, apart from the inexperienced lads at the back. Lucas looks a different player and could have a big role this season, Ngog is coming along nicely and Johnson looks a class above Arbeloa. All in all I think we are in pretty good shape for Spurs as long as we get 2 fit central defenders from the main 3.

I really didn't care how our senior players are performing, as they know that this is a meaningless friendly and they do not want to get injured.

but for our youngsters, I am really impressed with Martin Kelly who is built like a wall, and he has tremendous pace for someone that big. I hope he develops more and becomes a useful squad member. I feel a lot more comfortable with him at RB than Degen.


Lucas was the Man of the Match. great touches and a very good finish.


to sum it up; we were decent, apart from the slip ups in the first half. we are suffering from the loss of our 3 senior Centre backs, which worries me the most.


Liverpool midfield's tactics will change significantly, and hopefully, to the better.

Gerrard, Lucas and Aquilani are all considered as box to box midfielders (even if some are playing different roles now) so they like to move all around the pitch. the way Lucas was left unmarked today shows how a good understanding between our midfielders would cause to many teams, especially the weaker ones, when the 2nd wave of attack usually is what wins you those closed matches.


Honestly, I haven't seen anything that would make me feel that we will win the league, but I am impressed by the squad.

not sure on ngog like,didnt hav a lot of time 2 impress,tha slice shot that he hit was woeful. The two lads at the back look terrible,were is steven darby? Just been handed a new 3 year contract but stil not considered a better bet than these two,would hav put kelly in the middle an had darby at right back when johnson went of. Lucas showing signs of livin up to expectations 2. Worrying the way torres went of tho,deffo pulled his hamstring,you could tell as soon as he hit that shot at the end he was limping straight away. Fingers crossed he'll be ok

well said mate, rafa has to buy aguero , torres n gerard are brilliant. but defenders will get used to their style, so we need some1 else who works hard n who can suport torres upfront, plz rafa!!

played well for the last 15mins. lucas played well. surprised kelly didnt start. he looks the best prospect in pre season. did well when he came on again. one thing:

BUY A STRIKER

20 pounds a ticket a full house and they put in another dire display , plus if we have to play those young players at centre back next week at tottenham then expect a defeat.

What about Forlan? He`s 30/31 so won`t attract an horrendous fee, has experience of the EPL and has clearly improved since then with Ath Madrid??? Thoughts???

Real Madrid offered 31m for him, but was turned down. Atletico are trying to build a team that would compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona. It will not be easy to get their star players.

£31mil? Jeez! I blame Manure for ruining the transfer market with the rediculous £80mil for the greasy trick pony!
