[James]

You think about all the great players Milan used to have, even as recent as five, six years ago. They're a shell of that side now.
Will also be interesting to see how Suso goes.

 

[rurikbird]

Suso!!! Long time no see.

Wijnaldum in the middle 2, that's going to be intersting. I don't expect to see it much if at all during the season, but that's what preseason is for - to experiment without much pressure.

 

[James]

Anyone got a stream for this?

Attack minded is right and not much protection for the defence either without Can or Stewart.

 

[Red Mullet]

Ugh, that away kit.

 

[Frogfish]

Ugh, that away kit.

Link ?

4-3-3:

------------------Mignolet----------------
Trent---Lovren------Klavan---Milner
---------------Henderson---------------
------Lallana--------Wijnaldum-------
Mane-------------------------Coutinho
---------------Sturridge-----------------

 

[Red Mullet]

Lallana should have shot there

 

[Red Mullet]

Link ?

It's on the tele for me. Soz.

I'll see if I can get a commentary going.

That's OK mate I'm following Pearce for now.

 

[rurikbird]

Hendo is passing the ball well from midfield. Sturridge and Mane always looking to link up. Wijnaldum making runs, but barely received the ball yet.

Mignolet already made a hash of a clearance... 😡 Milner doesn't look comfortable at LB yet.

They're hunting in packs when they don't have the ball.

Link or do you have it on the box as well ?

It's on American TV, ESPN2. If you're in UK you can watch on LFCTV Go.

Ugh cheers. Just can't find a stream for this, strange,

 

[Red Mullet]

Mane looks good.

 

[rurikbird]

Liking the look of Klavan. He just has this air of solidity about him. Almost unusual from an LFC center-back.

Just now, Lovren beaten by pace by Niang, tries to spin, Klavan takes him out both legs and the ball, no foul.

 

[Red Mullet]

Good interception by Ragnar. Bailed Lovren out.

 

[gene hughes]

Great tackle by Cliffy.

 

[Red Mullet]

We're spending more time in Milans half but haven't really had a shot on goal.

 

[Woland]

I like the kit

[Red Mullet]

Studge's right foot shooting isn't so good.

 

[Red Mullet]

Ming, Ming, Ming... shakes head.

 

[Red Mullet]

Good build up but poor shooting form Mane.

We look toothless.

 

[Woland]

Mane is shit. Sell him

 

[rurikbird]

Ming, Ming, Ming... shakes head.

What happened?

Mane with a great chance set up by Coutinho, shot straight into the GK's leg.

Under no pressure, zip, zero, he kicked it out of play. Real facepalm stuff or your typical Ming performance.
