Pre-season thread

Competitive first half that. We looked pretty good for the most part but what a free kick from them. Wow nothing the keeper could do about that.

Camacho continues to impress me. Looking forward to seeing Shaqiri make his debut.

Camacho is looking really exciting. Mane is going to have good season.

[McDermotX]

On another note, cut the sleeves off a few of these things, give em to the outfield lads and it'd be an improvement on that strip they have on them.

[Corndog]

Lallana looks back to his energetic best. Great passing and movement at times out there.

Camacho playing well too. Fabinho just needs to step up a bit further when our fullbacks have the ball so he is a central option and can get it moving forward faster.

Solid workout. Some good movement at times but not coming off as much as we'd like. Going over their lines a bit more than usual, but it's caused them problems. Few decent performances...Lallana, Salah, Camacho, Fabio, Mane etc, but passing by the likes of Solanke, who is again either too deep or not involved.
Nothing Grabara could do about the goal, but easily the better side.
Defence relatively untested as expected but nice to see VVD and Ragnar leaving the odd leg in.

The dry as **** pitch isn't helping.

Solanke is doing the best he can, I think he's being involved where he needs to be.

Lallana looks ready for the PL again!

Camacho doesn't look out of place at all. So that's two academy players ready to step up to the full squad?

**** off American advertising

[McDermotX]

Phillips coming on anyway......and Kelleher. And the Shaq of course

[McDermotX]

Ojo and Woodburn out there as well I think.

[sevennilphil]

Yellow for Fabinho

[Fredo]

I've got to say that Camacho is impressive at right back. He'll push TAA and Clyne for this position.

[McDermotX]

Game has broken down since the half started. Championship stuff right now. Preseason Championship stuff that is.

[McDermotX]

Pitch invader on to liven things up thankfully. Lucky Dejan isn't out there.

I know it’s only preseason but I thought he’s been woeful tbh.

[BobTheCharmer]

I honestly think it's already up there with the worst.

I assumed we were playing in that ****ing **** purple number. But it's the third kit I like it. Retro number. Early 90's fashion is back in. Catch up man.

Was involved in the majority of quick moves....but not everything was coming off, but same goes for Salah that half. More that the energy was there and the quick feet on a couple of occasions. More relative performance than anything.


Sturridge makes it 2-1. Good work from Shaq
