Liverpool v Roma pre season tour game 2

Not open for further replies.
I would be gobsmacked if the team against Spurs isn't approaching what we put out against West Brom. I think it's clear that the 2 games so far have just been for Rodgers to evaluate players and ease players back into some football (Lucas). Who gives one about the results so far?
Europa league, 2nd and 9th of August.
Leverkusen on the 12th.

We have a couple of games left to get a decent XI together.

But our most important player won't take part in any of those games.
 
I want to post a new thread to release all my emotions but I fear it will be a waste of typing. Some of you like me were part of that early group who were on Koptalk all those years ago and do you remember those days ? - a loss was a terrible thing for our team, it was something we were gradually being acustomed to - along with not winning the fucking title year after year. Now - I see everyone posting things like 'yeah lets hope for a top 4 finish...' - no one dare says that they expect LFC to win the title when the season starts. Where is the rage in all of you ? where is the expectation from everyone here ?

I don't get any of you lot anymore - I know we came 8th but the games I see us play the top teams we seem to hold our own and give those fuckers a game and a half, its the so called lesser teams we seem to screw up against. This tells me one thing which is that the players we have are good enough but are just not managed properly to perform on a weekly basis. Man United did not have an outstanding team last season and they did not play pretty stuff but still that old man gets his team to perform like winners in every game. I actually believe that there is a correlation between a team doing well and the fans expectations - and it would seem that our expectations has gone down the drain in the last two seasons. In all the major leages accross Europe - where teams have been major powers with 10's of league titles - there is an expectation from their supporters to go and win the title - there is no 20+ year gap for the major teams.

The whole setup is a fucking joke now - we can't even attract players anymore, we can't afford it anymore.

Skully comes off as the type who will choke you if you don't laugh at his jokes.

We'll have plenty to put out and beat Nevererdovem FC to qualify for Europa, and the start of the season, even before bringing people in.

Wouldn't mind seeing something like this against Spurs.

Reina

Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Enrique

Lucas
Cole Adam

Gerrard
Carroll Borini
 
Actually I remember it the opposite. Everytime we had a great pre-season, we had a poor year.
Stop with your fuckin omen bullshit. There is no link.
Our pre-season this year has been disrupted by the Euros and the Olympics.
Talk about a double wammy.

And then the world collapsed on itself.
 
We used to be crap in pre season then win the League every year. Its about fitness, perhaps providing a reminder to the Manager, not much more. Certainly not results.
Start a Rodgers out thread if you disagree & we'll rip that to fuckin bits.
 
And then the world collapsed on itself.

Cole had a very good game tonight and deserves another go, and who do you play on the left of the setup then? Downing? Shelvey? It'll be different when you can play Suarez in the top 3 and you could drop Gerrard back, but right now it'd have to be Adam or Gerrard on the left of midfield (for any sort of competitive game) and you can see where I want Steven to be playing.

EDIT; Oh, and the silly formatting messed that up, it was meant to be more of a diamond 4 (including Stevie) than a 3 and a 3.

Now you got it. Cole shouldn't be anywhere near the middle.
 
Theres some aul laughable shite in here tonight.
Best so far is 'I see we have no wins so far!'
Thats a massive lol.

I cant even be bothered responding to this stupid childish championship manager ish!!

WAAAAAH WAAAAAH WWWAAAAH WE CANT BUY ANY PLAYERS!!!

There are already two threads of RB OUT already, I think.
 
Oh and by the way. People looking for astonishing revelations in these games are retarded.
Adam isnt suddenly going to be Kaka. Aquilani isnt suddenly going to be Redondo.
We know who the players who are good enough to start are and pre-season wont change that.
Its solely about fitness and getting used to tactics. Its the games we dont see that are important.
But for the record.
Shelvey is doing himself a lot of good this season so far, Pacheco, Cole and Spearing too. Whereas Flanagan, Enrique, Aquilani, Wilson and Jones look a mixture of dissinterested and out of their depth.
Same players who looked it last season too (aquilani excluded)

Spearing was well off the pace. Gave the ball away far too many times
