Kuyt running around like a headless chicken when he came on.....

...hope he learns how to play like a striker before the start of the season......

I think Kuyt always went to the rigth, when there were someone in front of him - and missed out several options to play a free Leto (who will be some sort of revelation this season, I think).

I'd add Babel to the negatives too mate. He has been piss poor today. Tiring Chinese team were able to put him off the ball on almost every occasion. Imagine what a Premiership team would do to him? He must improve fast

At least he played in front of the goal

[Assassin]

Good run out for the lads........

Torres just looks like he was born to wear the Liverbird on his chest, cool finish

Gerrard what more can be said, sublime skill when scoring

Benayoun comfortable on the ball, creative and an absolute bargain at £5 mill, he will fill the void left by Garcia

[Icon]

Just a work out - no worry.

Was ok.

[thesilverfoxlfc]

I would of loved if we had signed another striker quality.......

.....also hope we are well down the line with signing a winger....

[REDSCOUSER]

Not overly impressed by the whole performance today, understandably there was new faces trying to bed in.
My thoughts

-Martin : huge GK, safe handling, could be our future keeper.
-Insu : tiny *******o but a tough nut, i like this lad, safe, tidy and a bit of skill to go with it.
-Leto : big strong fooker with 2 good quick feet, will do well if he is willing to learn from the coaching staff, impressed me today as I have never seen him before.
-Torres : again 2 quick feet, good dribbler, very cool finish for the goal, only negative, he was a little slow to react in the build up sometimes but that will come as he gets to know his team mates more. Also, he was only caught offside once which shows game intelligence(unlike Cisse although i liked him). All his runs were timed right so it made it hard for the defence to catch him.
-Leiva : tidy, worked hard and got skill as well.

Overall, another easy warm up match, Feynoord WILL be much stearner test. So will Toulouse.

I enjoyed that. Good run out for the lads and to very good goals. We would no doubt have won by more had we stepped things up a little.

Too easy for us, Rafa wont get much knowledge out of it......

thanks mate. Both goals are boss. Stevie sounds as if he's in good nick going into the new season which is great news - Torres off the mark with a classy run and finish.
