Just read a tweet from a Guardian reporter. Didnt see the game yesterday or read any interviews.

I love the footballdownload subredit. If I can't watch a game on time or the streams are shit I always catch it later. Here is the thread for yesterday's game.

Alexander who ?!

 

[Hansern]

16 year old kid who is highly rated by the club apparently.
Will be interesting to see him play.

 

[Hansern]

Bogdan, Alexander-Arnold, Moreno, Toure, Sakho, Lucas, Markovic, Can, Benteke, Allen, Firmino

Alexander who ?!

@JBcommentator: Alexander-Arnold was captain of new Liverpool 1st team coach Pepijn Lijnders' U16 team before being promoted to captain U18s last season.

 

[Frogfish]

Pity no Allan (esp. since there are no MF subs for the front two MF positions). If he's good enough to play in a final against Estudiantes then he'll have no issues playing on the PL stage.

Local lad aswell.

So looks like :

..............................................Bogdan

Alexander-Arnold ... Toure ...................Sakho ....... Moreno

...............................................Lucas

............................ Can ........................... Allen

Markovic ........................... Benteke ..................... Firmino

 

[gene hughes]

I hope his talent is as exceptional as the shitness of his name.

 

[Woland]

Trent Alexander Arnold sounds like a bunch of ambulance chasing bastards

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

I wonder if Ilori's missing because he returned even later than Can because the Portugal U21s made it to the final, or because he's headed out (on loan). I don't think I saw him in the training photos, so maybe the former. Unless he's injured at a bad time again!

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Another glaring omission is Teixeira, of course. 🙁

 

[Red Astaire]

That's not a bad team. Arsenal V Chelsea or Swindom V Redmen..... Choices choices...

 

[Mystic]

I fucking hate Nine Inch Nails, and Alexander-Arnold is an awful double barrelled name, so he's off to a bad start.

 

[Mystic]

So if Brendan and the gang are in Finland, who's managing this lot?

 

[dmishra]

4-3-3 with Markovic on the right, and Firmino on the left. Rubbish formation. Markovic sucks on the right, and Firmino is no wing-forward.

 

[Mystic]

Markovic with a beard also, good stuff.

 

[Best Believe It]

So if Brendan and the gang are in Finland, who's managing this lot?

Brendan flew back.

 

[dmishra]

Allen off injured. Chirivella on.

 

[the count]

Lucas has broken up a few attacks nicely.
Unfortunately they were Liverpool attacks.

 

[Mystic]

Fucking Lucas, could have laid Benteke or Firmino on for a goal that would do them the world of good, instead he took a tame arse shot.

 

[Mystic]

4-3-3 with Markovic on the right, and Firmino on the left. Rubbish formation. Markovic sucks on the right, and Firmino is no wing-forward.

Markovic has started brightly out there to be fair.

 

[peterhague]

Teixeira came on, not Chirivella.

 

[the count]

Another glaring omission is Teixeira, of course. 🙁

Or maybe not

 

[Markeh]

fuck sake Benteke

 

[gene hughes]

So if Brendan and the gang are in Finland, who's managing this lot?

I think he caught one of those new airplane things back to England. I hear that they greatly outpace steamships.

 

[Mystic]

Benteke should have scored, great hassling from Firmino.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Nice to see Tex get a chance to impress at least some scouts. Thought he wasn't with the team here as his name wasn't in the list shared.

Good setup by Firmino for Benteke there; should've been a goal.
