Malaysian XI match thread

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Only one word to describe Origi at this mo - shite.

 

[Buddha]

Ibe's playing his way into the starting line up vs Stoke on this tour but who to make way for him?

I wouldn't be surprised if Rodgers plays a middle 3 of Henderson/Milner /Coutinho this freeing up a wide forward slot.

 

[refugee]

I hate Lovren

 

[Buddha]

We all hate Lovren

 

[the_dude]

i love him

 

[gkmacca]

We all hate Lovren

We should hate the whole team, because, as Lovren points out, it's a team game.

He spells it "teim"

 

[gkmacca]

That Malaysian guy is quite the athlete.

 

[gkmacca]

I'm not sure what the players are learning from this game, apart from the fact they're not doing the basics right, and they shouldn't be learning that at this stage.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

lallana takes too many touches ...

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Many of the 'Malaysians' are foreign imports playing in the local league. Like that Ronaldinho dude.

 

[gkmacca]

Ha ha, Lovren is everywhere. Unfortunately.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Lovren really can't head the ball when he's attacking it in the box ...

 

[ibromurph]

Origi is as shite as Sterling was in his first year but the raw materials are there. Are we going to be patient with him too? I'm not sure he'll have enough game time either.

 

[Frogfish]

Lawro scathing of Lovren ..."lucky he's not a central defender isn't it" ?

 

[Mors]

Lovren has had 4 piss easy headers off corners, and stacked all of them. Thank fuck as a defender he's not expected to head the ball with any accuracy, just clear it.
Benteke woulda had 4 goals.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Yong Keong Yeong.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Pedro the super sub's on.

 

[Frogfish]

Can't be arsed with a round-up :

Good : Ibe, Lucas
Shite : Henderson, Lovren, Origi

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

I thought everyone was shit tbh.

But then again it's only a friendly so..,..

 

[Mors]

We weren't great, but we wasn't set up to be. Missing a lot of our better players, and starting Origi upfront at this stage in his development is pretty pointless, much like when we used to play sterling up top. But, it was only a friendly (except the tackle on Ibe) and we didn't lose.
Next game we should see the big guns out.

 

[reuque]

They weren't even up against a proper team. The Malaysian XI was also a second choice side managed by one of most clueless managers this country has ever had.

And a strong Chelsea squad lost 4-2 to a New York teams 2nd 11. Pre-season friendlies mean nothing.

Hopefully our manager will, some of our fans wont.
The kid will be class.

 

[Skullflower]

We are fucking shite

 

[ILD]

You're gone to the dogs Skully.

 

[Skullflower]

You're gone to the dogs Skully.

The club has

 

[cloggypop]

You're gone to the dogs Skully.

And not even to bum them.

 

[Hansern]

It was an awful game though. The Oz games were boss but we could have done better in Thailand and in Malaysia.
Not good enough planning wise from the club.

A few positives though. I hope we can continue to develop the Clyne/Ibe right side.
That has insane potential.

IMHO that Malaysian 11 is better than the first choice national team thanks to the imports. I agree that "Pablo" Dollah is one the most clueless managers if not the most.
