    Guangdong v LFC

    A desperate thread but hey, a week on Wednesday!

    It's been a while..


    Liverpool will kick-off their preparations for the 2011-12 season on a tour of Asia - sponsored by Standard Chartered - with a game in China against Guangdong Sunray Cave.

    The Tianhe Stadium in Guangzhou will host the match with kick-off at 8pm local time (1pm BST). It is the Reds' first ever game in mainland China.

    LFC Managing Director Ian Ayre said:

    "We are very grateful and honoured that the government, local authorities and the football association of China have allowed Liverpool FC to come to China to play in Guangzhou.

    "Our football club and the city of Liverpool have great links with China.

    The city of Liverpool has the oldest Chinese community in Europe.

    As a global football club, it is important to us that we give our fans in China the chance to see the team in action.

    "At Liverpool FC we take these games very seriously.

    This game will be our first as we kick off our preparations for the 2011-12 campaign.

    "We will work closely with our main sponsor Standard Chartered to ensure we can deliver our best ever pre-season tour.

    It's a very exciting time to watch Liverpool Football Club."

    adidas and Carlsberg are official partners of the tour.

    Lim Cheng Teck, Executive Vice-Chairman and CEO of Standard Chartered China, said: "Liverpool FC has up to 60 million fans in China alone and we are delighted to be the sponsor for the Club's maiden visit to China.

    This is a great opportunity for our employees, clients, and community to interact with the players. We wish Liverpool FC a warm welcome to Guangzhou and look forward to a successful pre-season tour."


    I'm thinking a 1-9-1 formation..

      Who is in the squad that is over there?
      The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

        Not sure if anyone is yet..
        I'm guessing they'll want to see some star names over there...

        I expect Gerrard, Carra, Pepe, Kuyt..

        Those that have played, or are playing in tournies, may get a rest..

          11 outfield players? Harsh on the Chinese.

            That did include Pepe in goal..
            We have 9 that can fill the middle and Carroll on his own..

              Perhaps we could loan back our pre-season specialist Andriy Voronin until August?

                          I look forward to the first pre season as much as any other..

                          Normally I'm on holiday and trying to find a bar that shows the matches, which can be difficult for these games.

                          Bit of an anti climax after the first 15 mins..
