Our players out on loan

[Shaggy]

Noticed Sheff Utd pumped Villa at the weekend, had a closer look and saw Wooburn was an unused sub (again). They used all 3 subs too. Made zero impression so far.

Jurgen Klopp has appointed a dedicated ‘throw-in’ coach at Liverpool.

Dane Thomas Gronnemark started working on a part-time basis during the club’s pre-season training camp, seeking to minimise the number of errors from the set-play.

He has been primarily helping the first team full-backs, Andy Robertson, Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Nathaniel Clyne and Alberto Moreno.

James Milner, Sadio Mane and Gini Wijnaldum have also been part of the sessions.

Gronnemark, who previously worked with Midtjylland and Bundesliga sides Schalke and Hertha Berlin was approached directly by Klopp to bring the secrets of his ‘Long Throw Academy’ to Anfield.

Specialist coaches are becoming the norm, particularly on the continent, but a dedicated trainer for throw-ins is a first in English football.

Klopp estimated Liverpool take or defend around 50 throw-ins per match, so it was worthwhile analysing every detail of his team’s performance going into a new season.

After studying his team’s displays last year, Klopp felt his players squandered possession too often from throw-ons. The appointment was geared to rectify that.

Rather than encouraging a long-throw, Gronnemark has been advising on the most effective way of using the restart to trigger attacks, and also how to avoid putting team mates under pressure when in their own half.

His involvement means he travels to Liverpool for a couple of sessions a month and he has already been proactive with the senior squad in the early weeks of this season. It is a relationship which looks like continuing for the time-being.

Gronnemark established himself when he secured the world record for the longest ever throw-in – over 56 yards.

He has also worked with Denmark’s Athletics and Bobsled teams.

He'll be a sub at best.

Yep, him and Tony Gallacher.

Is he one of the lb's we signed last year?

Forgot we even signed him, hopefully he gets that work permit.

None of our loan players are doing too well at the moment. Is Harry Wilson injured, or just dropped altogether?

[The_weatherman]

He was poor apparently.

Why was Woodburn taken off at half time?

I didn't watch but was looking at the results and the BBC match report said this about Kent:

Goalkeeper Allan McGregor was lively when called upon, while debutant Ryan Kent looked sharp on the wing.

Gerrard's decision to name Kent in the starting line-up just days after he joined the club on loan from Liverpool was an inspired one.

The 21-year-old was lively and creative from the off, belying the lack of time he had had to develop an understanding with his new team-mates.

He might have scored the opening goal as he jinked infield off the left flank, but his effort was deflected wide.

Ejaria and Kent starting for Rangers at 7.45, think it's on premier sports.

How did it go for them, Chris?

I wondered if Gent have a Ladies team, and if so whether they are called Gent Ladies?

Often wondered the same about Inter. And how confused the Young Boys Ladies team must be.
