2016/17 Pre-season Friendly Thread

Chelsea looked really poor earlier. I know it wasn't their first team but they struggled even when Madrid brought on their kids for the last 30 minutes. Rubbish defending and goal keeping gave Chelsea 2 goals but Chelsea need to buy some top players before the window closes.
 
Liverpool - Milan kicking off in an hour. Milner starting at LB and Wijnaldum playing CM in a 2 will be interesting to see.

edit: turns out it's a 4-3-3/4-1-4-1 with Henderson sitting and then Lallana and Wijnaldum just ahead.

Fell asleep at HT :p

Just got round to watching the 2nd half and like the 1st, we played really well. Dominated a poor Milan side from start to finish. Origi in particular looked impressive.
 
Liverpool 11 to play Roma:

------------Manninger
Clyne---Lovren---Klavan---Milner
-------Wijnaldum--Can
-----Mane---Firmino---Ojo
-------------Sturridge

Milner again starting at LB and we should see Wijnaldum actually playing as an out and out CM this time.
 
We ended up playing a 4-3-3/4-1-4-1 with Henderson sitting and then Lallana and Wijnaldum ahead of him. We've got plenty of midfielders that can play the box to box roles in a 4-3-3, we don't have many that can in a 2 man midfield though so it'll be interesting to see how he does alongside Can tonight.
