Back 4 with Allen and Lucas in front of them have been dreadful. Skrtel can't carry them on his own but Flanagan looks half the player playing alongside Wisdom and Kelly rather than Agger, Sakho or Johnson.

Hopefully see Kelly and Wisdom go back out on loan or sold, Lucas sold to Napoli and Allen sold to whoever will take him.

Filthy goal from Suso

Pigeon_Killer · 19 Jul 2014 at 16:35

Excellent run from Ibe and a cracking finish from Suso.

Pretty clear we're going to win the league tbh.

JT pulls one back.

Pigeon_Killer · 19 Jul 2014 at 16:38

Ibe great run again to set up the goal.

Cosimo · 19 Jul 2014 at 16:45

Salah makes it 2-2.

Cosimo · 19 Jul 2014 at 16:51

JT gets another, 3-2. Nice and easy....

Preston 1-2 Liverpool FT

Good performances from Coutinho, Lambert and Suso, Ibe was excellent for the second game running and Rossiter was immense when he came on.

And as usual our defence is abysmal.

nemtizz · 19 Jul 2014 at 21:21

What the **** is with the pitch?

[TW]Sponge · 19 Jul 2014 at 21:22

Great goal Lewis Holtby. 1-0

One of them fake pitches.

Trusty · 19 Jul 2014 at 21:23

1 - 0 Spurs, great goal.

Thought so. Looks beyond ****.

Nice header. I like Holtby.

I really like them. You get nice football on them generally. Can't slide as well so keeps the fouls down a bit.

Hopefully Poch will give him the chance he deserves in the first team this season. Could be a quality player for us alongside Eriksen.

Don't really know too much about them. It said at the start that the other 2 fixtures we have there, the pitches have been replaced with real grass.

Townsend looking awful so far. Where has his pace gone?

Seems overkill. Suppose you can't leave anything to chance though, no doubt someone would nitpick this if Poch were start the season badly.

[TW]Sponge · 19 Jul 2014 at 21:38

Looking forward to hopefully seeing a bit of Lamela in this game.

All I'm seeing (as usual) are mistakes, mistakes, mistakes.

[TW]Sponge · 19 Jul 2014 at 22:20

Holy cow that was a goal.
