Audi Cup 2017

[Frogfish]

Not a strong side with numerous squad players getting a run out, I never like to see Woodburn on the left as he's better centre or deeper but still, great for a 17 yr old to be making the team at all and it was an excellent pass/assist he made yesterday for Sturridge's goal.

Good to see Milner and Gomez have overcome their injuries.

Expect to see Lallana in the deeper 'Coutinho' slot.

 

[Hansern]

Not surprising though, given that we played yesterday.

 

[King Binny]

Faced lots of top sides during pre-season though

 

[Modo]

Well that line up really got Flanno'ed.

 

[Red Bird]

Faced lots of top sides during pre-season though

Bayern 1-1 Arsenal
Bayern 0-4 AC Milan
Bayern 3-2 Chelsea
Bayern 0-2 Inter Milan
Bayern 0-3 Liverpool
Bayern 0-2 Napoli

Is the crowd at the Allianz normally an impatient, booing lot?

Don't think so. Not that they have to - their record at home is great - unbeaten last season in the league, 16 straight CL home wins (ended in April this yr).

 

[Rosco]

Nice dummy by Flanno

 

[Red Bird]

Wow!

 

[Rosco]

Sloppy from gomez

 

[ILD]

Any YouTube link to the game like we had yesterday? Thanks.

Scratch that. Found it.

 

[Fabio]

I think klavan is the new lucas

Shit, and a worry when he's in lineup

 

[Fabio]

Great cross from lallana to Woodburn

 

[hmmmmm1]

Getting into gear now in attack

 

[Markeh]

Has Woodburn grown a fair bit this summer? He doesn't seem as little

 

[Mystic]

Are Salah and Coutinho on the bench?

 

[Fabio]

Are Salah and Coutinho on the bench?

Don't think so

 

[Fabio]

We're crossing balls a lot. Wonder if solanke is our plan B?

 

[Red Bird]

Quite sloppy at times with some passes under or over hit. Poor yellow cards, too.

 

[Rosco]

We're crossing balls a lot. Wonder if solanke is our plan B?

I think its just that Atletico are defending deep and in numbers and its the only way to manufacture a chance at the moment - rather than a deliberate tactic we've set out to use.

I'm yet to see him display that level of talent.

 

[Fabio]

Ward very unlucky there. Smart reflex save initially.

Slow as fuck sleepy defence as per

 

[Markeh]

Great save ward

Why didnt klavan show him out wide

 

[hmmmmm1]

So we have 80% possession in the last 10 minutes and then althletico score. no change from last season

 

[Rosco]

1-0 Atletico.

If you give a team two uncontested shots 6 yards from goal you have to expect that.

Ward did his best

 

[Fabio]

Great save ward

Why didnt klavan show him out wide

Because he's fucking shit.

 

[Raz]

There's the liverpool defence we all know and love.

 

[Markeh]

Because he's fucking shit.

Yea not a fan

 

[Hansern]

Ball watching from Klavan. Poor defending

 

[davud graham]

Milner's been very poor so far. Let's hope he's just a bit short of fitness or rusty.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

We would have been better off putting the stronger team out against Atletico, they're playing like the type of teams we struggle against.

No idea who's on the bench, but hopefully we'll have a stronger team in the second half.
