Gerrard should've been taking all our frees last season. Suarez wasn't consistent enough with them, where Gerrard got most of his on target.

Didn't Suarez score a load of frees last year??

Best free taker we've had in yonks

SuperTortoise

Dont follow Dortmund all that much, how strong is the team they put out today?

Sturridge looks sharp today.

murpho999

Good performance and workout that.

I hope they don't make 8 subs at half time.

Very good. Great pace, good decision making and positioning.

Hasn't been tested a whole pile, to be fair, but I'm a fan so far.

Before Christmas. The last few months he was off a little, I think.

Been very Good and very Composed.

I know he is Good Technically and he has Pace, but I'm quite Surprise by how Good his Crosses are and his Touches.

Is Reus on the bench?

Nope.

Its true that Can hasn't been much needed but it would be nice if someone could just pass the ball to him.

No he misses out along with Markovic and Lallana. They are all probably back at Melwood getting physio.

No, I think he's having his medical.

A fella I follow on twitter who supports them says it's the strongest line-up they can put out. One or two injuries to deal with apparently.

He is in the directors box going over paper work wit Ian Ayre :pac:

Getting them on target is easy its scoring the frees that counts, more often than not Suarez will have the better free kick.

martyos121

This picture of Reus was leaked earlier. He's set to be unveiled later.
Looks like he's been overdoing it with the tanning beds though!

Fescue

Very good from Liverpool I think. The formation looks more secure defensively to
me.

Lovren looks quality already.

Raif Severance

If we're playing Gerrard, I think this 4-4-2 is the way to go.

We've looked really Solid in the Middle and with our Defense.

And more Importantly, we haven't lost any Fluidity in our Attack.

True, he hasn't done anything wrong, just like to see what he can do.

Looking at the bench, nobody there I would be buzzed about seeing second half. Maybe Suso, Coates and Joe enricki, just to see if their preseason form stands up

Harry Palmr

I want to see Suso and Ibe comer on for Coutinho and Sterling - the mini me's!

Riesen_Meal

Best pre season game we have had so far, if we keep a clean sheet I will be a bit happier....

Lovren is a beast....

martyos121

It's going to be very, very difficult to hold onto Sterling next summer if he keeps improving at this rate. He's not far off world-class.

billymitchell

Lucas on for Can

Not sure why

The FFP plan is to sell Sterling to Real Madrid for 100m and Coutinho to Barca for 100m.

martyos121

Who are you, and what have you done with Coutinho?! Did he really just SCORE a goal?

Zapp Brannigan

Coutinho!

Harry Palmr

Embarrassing Kolo moment there.

smileyj1987

Great finish by Coutinho .

Knex*

Jaysus, we're great.

Ha-way the lads.

PhiloCypher

Our two Wunderkinds combining to magnificent effect .

Delighted for the lad.

Should be the handiest title win of all time.

martyos121

We're gonna win the Champions League!

bluefinger

pre season officially over i see.

only watching bits but how is manquilo doing?

murpho999

3-0 up against one of Europe's finest in a massively important pre season game.

Could this be our year?

Sign that Ginter chap up.

Play him and Kolo in the CL games

Can didn't really have much to do. Might have thought it was a good opportunity for Lucas to get 45 mins?

Knex*

I understand now why we left United win the International Cup.

There'd be no space for it after we win all the trophies this year.

martyos121

I swear, if I hear another word about Lambert's "fairytale" move to Liverpool, I'm gonna lose it. He's a professional, he's not a starstruck fan who won a competition. They need to treat him like the former.
I'm mainly talking about the commentators and analysts when I say that, too. The fans have more sense.

Harry Palmr

Lucas with his free kick tackle.

Vicxas

We're a lot more solid this match. Especially with Lovren at the back.

billymitchell

Be interesting to see if Liverpool show the same nerves they did as last year when defending a lead

Lucas trying to get booked already

SuperTortoise

As good as we are playing Dortmund are poor so far.

Agent Coulson

I would be getting Sterling and Coutinho to sign new contracts soon and I would put no buyout clauses I would put offers of £75m get you into the race to start negotiations on buying them.

Seems Legit!!!

Fantastic recycling of the ball .

Glad to see Johnson is trying to prove the haters wrong now, instead of giving out to them. That's the attitude you want in a player.

bluefinger

some beautiful football here,

Are you watching, are you watching, are you watching Ronald Koeman?

We're gonna draw nil all.
