Pre-season already!

[Mystic]

We have absolutely zero control over this game, which is disappointing.

 

[binomial]

Very little quality on show here.

 

[Whaddapie]

We've drawn 0-0 against those cunts on Sunday about 27 times in a row at this stage, haven't we..? I predict that run will end within 5 minutes this weekend.

GaryMac is looking pretty good at #6, not afraid to tackle and get stuck in. It’s the rest of the players looking like they’ve never seen each other or trained together before.

 

[binomial]

We’re trying to force it all the time, far too narrow thus very crammed, time to fuck the system off, sign Hakimi and go back what made us, us.

 

[Squiggles]

Feels like we need to get Trent and Szobozslai into the game more.

We've got nobody at all to attack down the right flank, so there's just no space at all. The middle is very compressed.

It feels like we've given them the gate receipts and instructed them play out from the back. They're not very good at it.

Mac Alister putting a good shift in.

We’re gonna get slapped on Sunday.

 

[tomasjj]

mac is good
trent going inside means we are very narrow, no width on the right
congested play, and most play is static, as most lads want it into feet. few runs

Diaz hasn’t impressed

Diaz hasn’t impressed

Thought he was one of few that did alright tbh.

Had a shot that flashed wide, cut in and laid it off to Gakpo/Szobo a few times when they had their pops, nice little back flick for Gakpo in what was our only real quality attacking play.

 

[Hansern]

Not to bad just a bit off sync attacking wise. Defensively its been more of the same. Gary has been excellent. Another 45 mins off pre season.

 

[Squiggles]

Ha, Lawenson is there and has no clue who we are playing against. He just calls them the "Germans" and trots out lines about them being disciplined and efficient, and then rants that all friendlies are a waste of time.

How this twit stays involved in the game is a total mystery.

maybe just focusing on him a bit too much, didn’t like him losing the ball about 30 yards from our goal with weak play then rolling around looking for the foul

MacAllister looks a class act already, doesn't he?

Proper Liverpool footballer.

Jota’s been terrible.

So has Trent, shit passing tonight.

 

[rurikbird]

Diaz hasn’t impressed

Didn’t like him in the first half at all - way too chaotic and disruptive for the combinations like the of Gakpo, GaryMac and Jota are trying to create. As soon the ball comes to Diaz, it’s him trying to play all by himself against Darmstadt - very frustrating for teammates.

Also Trent looks poor for the 2nd game in a row.

Ali showing our defenders how to defend.

 

[Whaddapie]

We look like a feckin' pub team at the back. Wonderful stuff.

 

[tomasjj]

hope we can manage to set the line this weekend....

 

[Whaddapie]

Slobberbone looks like he can run all day and all night, too... Think we've picked up a couple of very decent-looking players here.

Shame we needed four.

Luchoooooooooooo come on baby

You sexy fucking cunt

 

[Shay_K]

3-1 LOL

 

[Markeh]

What a finish

here’s Ben DORK coming on, great font choice for the shirts

 

[binomial]

Gomez? Rather have seen Quansah.

Lucho and Darwizzy linking up. Unlucky.

Doak already ripping fullbacks to shreds.

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed…

 

[rurikbird]

Diaz looks really up for it since his goal.

 

[binomial]

Kostas looks pumped up out there.

Unlucky Harvey, that’s nice play…that’s where he should be playing.
