I have said it before and I say it again, the Thais are no pushovers. They could have won against us and even the Mancs in this pre-season.
[/quote]
The result isn't that surprising, I knew the Thais would be quite good.
They usually make us look like novices and we still managed to cause the Scum problems.
But some of our players, particularly the youngsters were shocking.
Babel played well, but it wasn't hard to look good in that bunch.

what ridculous attempted bicycle kick that was by el zar. nabil, there are easier ways to impress the mananger, try juggling three balls whilst drinking a glass of water.
The thing is, I can understand the commercial and financial aspect of our tour to Asia. But for preperations for the new season, it's not very ideal is it?
Poor conditions, horrendus pitch, poor training facilities, jetlag, humidity/climate, stress and injuries.
That pitch yesterday was shocking.

Agreed that, but then it's one way or another. We can't stay a big club if we don't do these world tours, it's the only way to keep up with the likes of Utd and Real (as much as it is a pain to say).

Bollocks. When you're coming back from a summer holiday, the last thing you need is being put under the most testing conditions you'll face on a football pitch.
Skrtel's a mong for not warming up properly.

The players are not exactly going all out in that game. Hardly break a sweat umm perhaps sweating due to humidity, not physical exertion. Just a steam bath.

"Not physical exertion"?
It's still a football game, and I don't know which game you were watching but it was end to end at times. Someone even commentated that Carragher looked fucked by HT.
We're there on the back of a cash cow. There's no other logic behind it.

That, and the fact that every player slipped and slided all around the pitch. I was just waiting for someone to pull a muscle. Hopefully he won't be out for to long.
He and El Zhar have travelled back to Merseyside today.

When have we ever seen Kuyt and Carra panting so hard before half time except here in the tropics. It is due to the heat and humidity. Apart from Babel, I do not see much exertion from the rest and most of them were sub after the interval anyway. Once they got use to the heat and humidity, it will be a stroll in the park with proper re-hydration.

Last night,60,000 people would have sat in those uncomfortable seats for at least 3 hours before the game in hot and sweltering conditions,and then in torrential rain in the hope that they'd see players they've seen on TV for years and cheer for their team and for once, just ONCE, have the team hear them cheer.
It didn't matter that the team was basically kids wth the occasional cameos by the big stars.
The club might be able to put a financial value to that, but I certainly can't.
As for the game itself,the conditions were very humid and wet.The Thais also have a decent team, as we in Malaysia can attest to.
The tour may not be important in the grand scheme of things, but it means a lot to millions of fans.
It's a bit cynical to say the only reason is financial, Squiggs...even if it's probably true.

Why can't LFC milk the commercial cow from their good brand name?
We complain when LFC do not have enough financial muscle.

The financial gain we get from the tour itself is minimal,Mike.
Q : Nobody really cares about the results, staying injury-free is more important,.
And that's kind of messed up.
