Exactly and while some of Adam's long balls where good, Aquilani held and distributed the ball well. Both did good. He's still fat though.
What I wasn't impressed with is our tendency to hoof the ball instead of playing a simple pass. We don't need to be constantly attacking and force the ball forward.
I feel the same thing about Adam and his quality on free kicks and corners today ... something we unfortunately never thought would characterize him after what he did at Blackpool. If Pacheco can create opportunities (I think 4 or 5 in the 1st half) - like Sinclair and/or Dyer did with Swansea - we'll be ok. And worst happens? We'll sell him for 5 million or something ...
A few people have mentioned it, and I do agree - there were very few long balls. Of the few we did see, a high % caused danger to the Toronto defense (Adam to Eccelstone, Adam to Pacheco etc)
If we were offered 5 million for him we'd sell tomorrow- about 5 times over.
Don't get me wrong, I had high hopes for Pacheco, and always liked him. He had the ability to make things happen. It's just he seems to lose composure at the crucial moment. I'd love him to get it right.

I'd give him a year with Rodgers ... He has a good track record (see Sinclair for example). If there's no improvement this year - which I don't see happening - move him on (for his own benefit).
What I'm saying is, sometimes it's better to play a short pass to someone close to you than a cross field pass to someone on the opposite wing.
I can't be too harsh, Wisdom isn't a right back. Ibe is only 16/17. Spearing is a championship player.
It's our first pre-season game.
Anyway it's SUSO TIME!
Our long balls were from the midfielders and were because of poor movement by the forwards. The longs balls to the wings were fine, but through the middle there was no movement and no options beyond putting it over the top.
I thought our possession from the backs and through the midfield was very good and encouraging.
Not bad for the first pre season game, I agree about Pacheco, but I think Aquilani is having a good game, he always looks very silky on the ball.
Ebay has done well and had little from the ref. On the conformances of our two wide men Downing must be feeling a bit sick.

A little harsh on Enrique. He was supporting Pacheco by feeding him the ball and making runs off him to give him space. A little tedious with the ball.
Someone better explain Tika Taka to Spearo or he is dead meat
Yep they've been conforming pretty well to Rodgers tactics.
Listen to the Impaler.
We'll have to agree to disagree. I thought he was poor.
Suso and Sterling rool
Yeah, you and Del both.
Suso & Sterling have a good understanding it seems ...
1-0 Toronto -
Despite the score, I like how the 'tiki taka' is developing already ...
..and fans with Liverpool tops are cheering?!? wtf.
Completely agree fab. He's what all our players should strive to be
