[MosRay]

1-1 against Vauxhall Motors sales team. Iraola out.

Only Joking, heard they are wheely good.

It was the under 21's, not the first team

A bit about the two young CB’s we signed last season going on the US trip

Here's a short clip of them in training the other day.

I’m going to struggle with both their names so it’ll be Tower 1 & Tower 2 aka T1 & T2

They're frigging tall lads, and the lad with the hair is a bloody unit. 18 isn't he?

Yeah crazy hey. That’s 3 young CB’s we’ve signed including that lad from Celtic.

Squad for the tour named.

https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/liverpool-name-initial-31-player-squad-usa-pre-season-tour

Initial Liverpool squad for USA tour: Gomez, Endo, Jacquet, Kerkez, Szoboszlai, Bradley, Chiesa, Leoni, Jones, Elliott, Tsimikas, Ekitike, Mamardashvili, Woodman, Frimpong, Abe, Nyoni, Bajcetic, Chambers, Ramsay, Scanlon, McConnell, Jaros, Koumas, Morrison, Ngumoha, W. Wright, Hall, Sonni-Lambie, Ndukwe, Davies.

Further senior players will join the group later in the tour after their World Cup commitments.

Abe, Sonni-Lambie, Morrison, Ndukwe and Wright will be the new names to watch out for. Ndiaye would be another but sounds like there are visa issues for him.

It could be a big preseason for Nyoni to get himself a spot in the squad and it will be interesting to see what McConnell can do as he was really highly regarded by Klopp and supposedly Slot. While we’d all like to see Bajcetic do well he might well have missed too much football.

James Pearce: "Young striker Jayden Danns needs to be assessed after feeling discomfort in his hamstring last week"

Well done & thanks Pete. Jason Koumas is one that needs to shine after being out on loan last season. He makes the Wales squad regularly so he must have something going for him & I feel time is running out for him to impress the Club to keep him around. Ramsay is another one who’s now trying to impress the 3rd Liverpool manager & the next few weeks are crucial for him too.

You mean Lewis Koumas? Jason is his dad

I think Ramsay's chance has gone, I don't think he's good enough TBH

I’d be happy with any signing at present , even Jason.

And I agree about Ramsay, he doesn’t even stand out at U21 level

[Bloodraven]

To be fair, Jason was a tidy player and if he had a different introduction to the game, I think he could have been a top player!

Abe is the one I’m looking forward to seeing. He has so much hype around him. Taking Rio and sterling out of it when was the last time someone came through the academy with that level of potential. I see people rating him as one of if not the best in his age range. We had to fight of City, Chelsea, Arsenal and I think Madrid and Manc utd to keep him. They don’t always fulfil the potential but let’s hope he does. Imagine having Rio and Abe fulfilling their potential and what that could mean for the club.

[SB]

I watch plenty of the highlights of the youth teams & I’ve not seen enough to get really excited at the prospect. It’s a huge step up as you know to playing against men & im not sure he’s ready for that. Sure, he’s got potential but so has Figgy, Morrison & Wright. Will Wright is apparently the furthest along at this stage.

[Exiled_red]

Given the lack of forward options in the squad at the moment and on the tour in particular I think this is probably a big opportunity for Will Wright who is effectively our second choice striker at the moment

6 things spotted in training.

[peterbread]

An emphasis on transition

That was the one I liked to hear about. None of this slowing the game down and letting the opposition reset their defence as soon as we get the ball back. Move it forward quickly and get at them. I’m sure we’ll all be happy to see that type of football again.

SB how do you rate Sonni-Lambie. He doesn’t seem to get the attention Abe gets but seems to be a talent as well.
