Roberto Firmino scored a hat-trick as a number of Liverpool first-team players clocked up minutes in a behind-closed-doors victory over Welsh outfit TNS at Melwood on Monday.

Those who had not featured from the start in the season opener against Stoke City were involved in the practice match today as they continue to build up fitness and sharpness.

The Reds line-up claimed a 5-1 win, with summer signing Firmino bagging a treble and Danny Ings – from the penalty spot – and Lazar Markovic also on target.

There were starts for Adam Bogdan, Emre Can, Lucas Leiva, Alberto Moreno, Divock Origi, Jordan Rossiter, Mamadou Sakho and Kolo Toure at the training base too.

I really hope he's fit for Monday, best video I could find.

Reminds me of the time I got a couple of goals at lunchtime in school in 1998, including a fine lob against Cliftonville FC's first choice keeper.

I think when they made the youtube video of my performance they went with 2 Unlimited as the backing track.

Wow Kolo had a GREAT off season.
Were probably paying 30k a week to keep him at the club looking like that

We conceded against TNS...clearly our defensive problems haven't gone away. And of course I say this having not actually watched the game.

We've improved since 2005, though - we only beat them 3-0 then!

Not necessarily, TNS could have got worse.

Clearly it's the Gerrard effect.

Just watched that clip of Kolo again. Thats fucking shameful that.

It may be the sudden presence of a few dozen builders on site, the canteen staff will have tried to cater for their needs, a bunch of burger and fish vans may also have parked up opposite the gates. You can't have that going on and expect Kolo Toure not to tuck in.

I don't understand why he's still here given that we've bought young centre backs.
