They've really gone to town on the match report...Originally posted by kurtangle01needless to say the offal hasn't udated the site yet. waithing for some spin from rafa no doubt!
Liverpool completed their pre-season preparations in the worst possible fashion by crashing to an emphatic 5-0 defeat against FSV Mainz in Germany on Friday night.
With next week's Champions League qualifier in mind Rafa Benitez started with a strong looking side but following a series of substitutions a sensational five goal second half blast from the hosts consigned the Reds to a humiliating loss.
Goals from Feulner, Damm, Jovanovic, Amri and Pupalovic did the damage on a night Liverpool will want to quickly forget.

Liverpool: Carson, Traore, Hyypia (captain), Carragher, Kromkamp, Zenden, Gerrard, Alonso, Pennant, Crouch, Bellamy. Subs - Dudek, Peltier, Hobbs, Paletta, Riise, Anderson, Diao, Sissoko, Garcia

i know but we should, in my opinion which counts for **** all, have started the match with the 11 that are to start on wednesday and given them 1 hours playing time and then made changes.
just my opinion though.Babel fanclub member # 4!!!

at least today isn't next Wednesday. Seems like Rafa did a bit of a Sven with all these experiments and chops and changes in pre-season.
I still think that if most of last year's first 11 (especially back 5) play next week with the usual instructions, we'll be ok.
It's a wake-up call though to people who think that our defense will definitely be better than last season.
