redspider

Liverpool played Wrexham on Saturday, which was their first match in their pre-season campaign.

The line-up was:
Jerzy Dudek
Miki Roque
Jack Hobbs
Gabriel Paletta
Steve Finnan
John Arne Riise
Danny Guthrie
Boudewijn Zenden
Paul Anderson
Craig Bellamy
Besian Idrizaj

SUBS :
Godwin Antwi
Salif Diao
Robbie Fowler
Adam Hammill
Sami Hyypia
David Martin
Danny O'Donnell
Lee Peltier
Florent Sinama Pongolle
James Smith
Robbie Threlfall

GOALS: Anderson (5), Bellamy (52)

SUBSTITUTIONS: Smith, Antwi, Hyypia, Diao, Peltier, Fowler, Pongolle, O'Donnell, Hammill, Threlfall, Dudek

Attendance : 11,335 (capacity)


I dont envy the players playing in this weather. Good to see Bellamy getting off to a good start and scoring a goal. I didnt hear match reports but promising. Bellamy is a player with a lot of capability and if he applies himself well and continues to develop, he has a lot of potential with positive benefits for Liverpool. I thought Diao was going to be sold.

The remaining warm-up games are:

22 Jul, 2006 Crewe Alexandra Friendly A 15:00 Y Y Y -
29 Jul, 2006 FC Kaiserslautern Friendly A 16:30 TBC TBC TBC -
01 Aug, 2006 Grasshopper Club Zurich Friendly A 16:00 TBC TBC TBC -
04 Aug, 2006 FSV Mainz 05 Friendly A TBD TBC TBC TBC -
13 Aug, 2006 Chelsea FA Community Shield A 15:00 TBC TBC TBC -
16 Aug, 2006 Lincoln City Friendly A 19:45 TBC TBC TBC -

I cant understand the need to play Lincoln though !

Then the action starts with:

19 Aug, 2006 Sheffield United Barclays Premiership A 12:45 Y N Y -
26 Aug, 2006 West Ham United Barclays Premiership H 12:45 Y N Y -
09 Sep, 2006 Everton Barclays Premiership A 12:45 Y N Y -

I am not with the programme at all, or clued in or take any expression you like to describe my 'with-it-ness' for all things Liverpool, alas! ;-)

Without resorting to a click of my keyboard, who is Jack Hobbs, and whats the story?

Yeah, I can imagine that it was too hot for anyone to play 'all out' football. These games are a 'necessary evil' and help blow away some cob webs.

Nothing. I missed it, woops! I have since read the thread and my post should have gone there (with edits).

I hope to 'wake up' before the season starts ;-)

Hobbs is a promising youngster who we signed last summer. Part of the deal was the promise of a game against liverpool - although it seems to be a Liverpool XI rather than the first team

He looked fairly decent against Wrexham indeed.
