How are these people promoted my I ask? Or do newbies also have access to this match?

Some shocking comments in here just because we are 2-1 down in a meaningless game!
 
I know it's only preseason but our midfield 3 are dire. I hope Pogba isn't our only midfield signing.
 
It looks to me like Zlatan is doing the most work pressing. And he's the oldest in the team!
 
Missing someone like Martial on the right hand side. Even though our goal came from the right, I think Micky would be better centrally and someone more direct on the right.
 
That trip to China has has ruined our pre-season. No wonder LVG was so against it.
 
Rooney, Herrera and Schneiderlin as a trio looks a bit shit

And people say we dont need Pogba. We lack any dynamism is midfield. Wish these guys would actually stop playing at walking pace and look like they are fighting for their futures at the club.
 
Liverpool has already played 5 preseason games and will play another 5!

Chelsea has played 3 and will play another 4.

This is our 3rd and we've only one more (+ CS against Leicester).

We'll start the season undercooked I fear unless we play some behind-closed-doors games.
 
Why does even say preseason games are for fitness and match sharpness. Does the same logic not apply to galatasary too?

So why do they look better and quicker in everything they do

It's their 5th game.
 
Of course, that's what pre season friendlies are for.

Probably because a lot of these players haven't played since the Euros...
Would of thought maybe a bit more energy would be used tho, we are at a standstill and walking most of the time, pre season is for fitness, shouldn't they be running getting used to match conditions again and getting up to match fitness?
 
Jesus, you lot need to take a step back. It's a pre season friendly. In at a wedding and just checked the score because I don't really give a toss. I suggest some of you employa similar approach.
 
Some miss LVG, calling team shit, already saying Maureen out.. Fantastic stuff lads, keep it up.
 
This is why Pogba won't be enough. We have zero defensive or game controlling capabilities in midfield.

How we let Krychowiak slip to PSG and Kante to Chelsea is beyond me.
Pogba will make little difference, hes not a midfield controlling player.
 
Rooney and Herrera have been terrible.

I like Ander but at this point he is just a placeholder for Pog. What a bland first half from him. As for Rooney if he keeps this up hard to see how he can stay in the XI.

Add that to the fact alot of our players didnt even play in the Euros.

Bruma isn't even a goalscorer
Was just looking at Gala preseason to see how many games they played and it seems Bruma has scored 5 in the last 4 games
 
And LVG only wanted two preseason games. :lol:
There's wisdom in Klopp setting up 8 games. Enough time to sort yourselves out.
8 is a lot but at the very least you need about 5 I feel. At this rate we're going to start the season at a disadvantage.
 
For this talk about Rooney not being a CM he's still better than most of what we have there. He's far better than Herrera. At least he can pass the ball. Future forward he's becoming pointless. Jose's stance that he's a 9 or 10 is fecking dumb.
 
Relax guys it's a friendly and they are clearly sharper than us.

One major problem though is Rooney had Mata been there or Micky T and somebody wide right we would be much better.

Zlatan drops deep so him and Rooney sometimes are essentially playing CM.
 
Gala have been the better team & deserve to be winning. Hopefully Jose takes Rooney off at HT. Schneiderlin & Herrera also need to step-up.
 
Rooney plays with too much bullshit in his game. He looks older than Zlatan.
 
I think it's a halftime to maybe drill it into players what is expected, and what's going wrong by the coaching staff.

Herrera provides a lot of energy, Schneiderlin is still getting to sharpness. See what Mata is like at the #10 or move Mkhitaryan Central and give Rashford a go in the second half.

Bailly looks good, Blind is a great distributor of the ball but still not convinced with him at CB.
 
Morgan and Herrera not doing much when we are not on the ball. Opened up a few times through the middle. Rooney the usual 5 games to get going...
