Mane Mane he's our Man-e, if he can't do it, no one (Emre) Can.

Back on Boards after nearly a year out and that's the best I could do with my comeback and first post... see ye again in a year I suppose, sorry.

Here's to Danny Ings' return being better than my Balotelli-like attempt.

He looks like he's playing against children. He has freak size but also looks to be fairly agile. I reckon he can be the next Igor Biscan. Champions League medal on the way.

He's enormous, and not in a weedy Crouch way. Will be interesting to see if he gets a starting place for league games.

Woodburn was so happy to score there, fair play by him. Lovely ball by Lucas in the build up.

marklazarcovic

woodburn and kent impressive so far in 2nd half,wholesale changes from first

5starpool

Lucas scores! Not even a smile though. Firmino did really well in the build up.

Lucas is Boss!

Vicxas

Ejaria looks pretty boss.

The Boss has scored I expect him to leave now

FT Fleetwood Town 0 - 5 Liverpool

Great game for Liverpool, first half was the Marko Grujic show, 6'3" mix of power and football friendly feet, very promising debut, Mane again caught the eye with his pace.
In the second half Kent, Woodburn, Ejaria in particular impressed and Lucas scored so the world may end tonight.

NyOmnishambles

Our year lads

Utopia Parkway

Some of the young lads very impressive. Not sure any of them will play much this season apart from Grujic but they have time on their side.

Pyjamarama

Woodburn looks a talent. Clever movement and some great touches. If he keeps it up he could be the next Sean Dundee.

Mane was impressive. Markovic is talented but looks like he doesn't want to be at Liverpool or maybe he is low on confidence. Whatever it is he needs to be more direct.

Sean Dundee was one of our forgotten heroes. He starred in 3 games for us, two in the late 80's and one in the early 00s. I remember his debut in 1986 and the story of how we signed him. It was an adventure/comedy. A Liverpool reporter headed to Australia to interview the living legend Sean Dundee. When she finally locates him, she is so taken with him that she brings him back with her to Liverpool. In Liverpool, Sean Dundee is amazed by the wonders of the city and the interesting people there. There was something to do with crocodiles too which surpasses me.

Maybe it's just me and some bias playing a part, but Brad Smith has looked a better player than Moreno pretty much every time I've seen him the last twelve months.

Klopps review of the game - 3 out of 5 at most I'd say!

I take a few good things from the game. We have to work, but I saw a few good things. There were good individual performances. But I said at half time that I was not happy with the team play because I thought we could have done better. In a game like this, if the only good situations you have are because of the individual quality then something is wrong. We scored the goals in the second half because of nice passes, nice runs, easy passes. That is how football should work.

Agent Coulson

I really do like the black jersey.

I would like to see Ejaria and Kent play some cup games this season, although it was against two muck teams they looked very promising in both games

Have to be careful not to put too much expectation on Grujic after one preseason game against a League Two side, but he's probably better than Pogba.

Probably?

PROBABLY?

Some fans on here. No f*cking support.

DEFINITELY.

Agent Coulson

He still has a long way to go to be better than Joe Allen though.

Anybody got any idea why Lucas was so disgruntled after he scored ?

Also why did Ray Houghton spend the whole match referring to Mane as Marney ?

League two is a level above Serie A.

If I remember rightly Lucas scored in a few pre-seasons and never celebrated, i could be wrong tho.

Turtyturd

Lucas was probably upset at Ray Houghton having an accent.

Stab*City

I thought they played well last night. Was good to see them playing the ball around quickly even from the keeper out. They did play a few risky passes around the CB's which against better competition would have been suicidal but against fleetwood it didnt really matter. Grujic looks to be a possible beast. He is massive. Bad peno miss though for ings. Anyway its looks like progress to me even if its only a friendly. Hopefully Firmino can keep up the goals in the reg season. Mane looks fast and dangerous. Matip is tall as well!

Do you celebrate after you score up at 5 a side? It was a friendly against a woeful team, nothing to get excited about. Only thing I would take out of last night is from a fitness perspective, that's it!

SuperTortoise

Missed the game last night where is the best bet for a replay or extended highlights?

Too bloody right I do I celebrate every goal I score like it's the winner in a World Cup Final.

Just to rub it in

Lex Luthor

Lucas scored in a pre season game against a League 2 side. He's a bit more grounded to probably start celebrating a goal in that circumstance as a fully seasoned pro.
I'd much rather prefer to see this than a player running to the side line in a training match jumping around after a scoring a non relevant goal

DVDM93

Are we a club that lives by the standards and expectations set by our heroes a la Gerrard/Dalglish/etc... or not?!

I seem to remember a quote from one club legend with the name of Mario Balotelli that went something like; "When I score, I don't celebrate because it's my job. When a postman delivers letters, does he celebrate?".

There's your answer on the Lucas reaction to scoring yesterday folks, it's as simple as that.

That said I had more post on my hall floor this morning than Balotelli has Liverpool goals. One of them being an Apache pizza menu, which will serve me better than he did my club.

I wouldn't celebrate a goal in a preseason friendly. I didn't ask why did he not celebrate.

He positively looked angry and píssed off. He looked to be muttering and mumbling a lot of fúcks and the like.

I was wondering the same thing at the time, but he seemed in good form in the post game interview.

Maybe was watching Grujic and realised he'd seen a near future at the club that involved a good deal of splinter-collection in the buttock area?

I wouldnt be worried about lucas having a place in the team this year, he can fill in at CB aswell as in the middle and if Joe is gone then he will get plenty of game time.
