He had the excuses out before kick off. Total bluffer

I saw them. They really tried.

Harry Palmr

Good game once the tired old men had been replaced by the kids.

Interesting to see if his Mourinho season kicks off in the post match interview.

Sofa Spud

Enjoyed that - some great performances, Shaqiri debut a dream and young lads showing lots of promise. Pity Kelleher hardly saw the ball but great experience for him.

MarkY91

Been praising shaqiri all week in my posts here. Delighted for him hitting the ground running. What a goal and did well for the assist.

Lads do ye think Jones or camacho can play a role in the first team squad this season

What an option to have. Cracking signing

Mr.H

I wouldnt take too much away from the fact it was United. Lets be fair it was a few first teamers with a mostly reserve side. Our own performance was great though and we are starting to get up to speed. Nice to see the Shaq attack. I am liking Curtis and was impressed with Ojo. Good game.

Wouldnt mind calling on them at all. Loads of potential there.

MD1990

Great for Shaqiri to get a great goal.

Main thing is no injuries.

Charlie19

Dont get carried away lads. Utd had no Matic, Fellaini, De Gae and the other passengers of the bus.

Curtis Jones for sure, looks like a huge prospect and only 17.

Super-Rush

Gonna be salty.

Both look very good but I doubt they'll get a game in the PL. I'd love to see them given a chance in the cups though.

I doubt either will be loaned out this season either seeing as they are only 17 and 18.

Of course dont.

But its nice to think we still have Allison Keita Henderson Lovren Clyne Trent and Firmino all to get back into that side.

Forget the opposition tonight. Its always fun to beat them but apart from a little giggle at Jose, I wouldnt even think of that as United tonight. They will be a lot stronger in two weeks.

Harry Palmr

Yeah luckily they are so young they'll stay with the U23s and mix that with as part of the development squad and the seniors

Why not?


After throwing away a cl final in that manner it's good to have the opportunity for celebration.


If you can't celebrate a preseason friendly with a bit of gusto. What can you celebrate.

We only had VVD, Fabhino, Mane and Salah from the starting 11 playing the first half.

We played better in the second half though when the younger lads came on.

Dunno about that...they still have Jones, Lingard and Pogba to come back.

Shaq interview on LFC post game. Seems genuinely happy to be at the club.

Excellent signing for us. Just imagine the head scratching other clubs are doing thinking about the price we got him for.

An absolute bargain and will play a very important role for us this season.

Welcome to the pleasure dome Shaq.

I don't care what kind of a team they had out, they can make all the excuses they want, they were awful to watch- as usual. Sturridge looked quite sharp, great to see.
We won 4-1 and played well considering we used so many players - special goal by Shaq was the cherry on top.

Yea but we have a better lot of reserves than they do

Turtyturd

We’ve got more penalties in America in the last 12 months than at Anfield.

Muahahaha

Classy interview from Sturridge there

Suppose that's all one can do to dispel any questions over one's place in the side prior to the season kicking off.

He does that in a real match against Utd and he'll be given the freedom of the city.

Umaro

It was still 1-1 when we made our last subs. This is what the team looked like once the goals started to go in:

Kelleher
Jones, Philips, Gomez, Robertson
Ojo, Grujic, Chirivella
Woodburn, Sturridge, Shaqiri

I only see one starter in there, and two more 1st teamers.

United were just unambitious. I don't know what they're at tbh, they only have 2 preseason games left and there is no system or endeavour to their play. Was hoping they would give us a better test tonight.

I have tickets to Napoli and Torino games, really looking forward to it now. I know it's only pre-season but the mood is so bouyant at the moment.

He's pathetic. Did you see him harrassing the ref at halftime? In a f*cking friendly.

New ten year contract signed on Christmas morning, the perfect gift.

Some quotes from Jose post-match:

Jose: "We start the game with players who are not even going to be here. This is not even 30% of my squad."

Jose: "Eric Bailly was not going to play. When he saw Smalling was leaving in the warm up, he thought I don’t want another kid on the pitch."

Jose: "This game gave me nothing at all."

Jose: "I would like two more players. I don't think I will get two. I think I will get one. I gave a list of five. I wait to see if we get one."

Jose: "Matic had surgery. Out for the start of the season."

Jose: "If I was them (fans) I wouldn't spend my money to come and watch these teams."

Jose on Sanchez: "We're playing here just to try + survive and have some not very ugly results. Alexis is the only attacking player we have. The poor man is trying his best with the frustration of someone who wants more. Alexis, Mata, Darmian, Eric, Pereira. Phenomenal attitude"

Jose on ref: "The officials came here from the baseball federation and thought it was a baseball game and realised it was soccer."

I don't want to derail our thread too much, but theres some weird vibes coming from him lately. Sounds like he hasn't been backed in the market as much as he'd like, and now with only 11 days left before the window closes he's letting it be known. Wonder if they're going to get some late additions.

Yes. Add Woodburn too!!!

Herr Klopp needs to start using subs much earlier in games and/or give the main men a rest from the squad more often.

Turtyturd

Dunno why he’s crying about lack of attacking options. Sanchez is one attacking player more than he normally plays with.

I don't want to get carried away lads but we are going to win the quadruple

Eircom_Sucks

And lads think of this for a min

They pay sanchez £500k a week for that and he’s been bruuuutal

Mr.H

We need silverware this year. I want to have a good run in Europe and finish in the top 2. But we badly need to put this Klopp final hoodoo to bed and win something. A league cup in February could be a good way to kick on the latter part of the season.

Allison
TAA-Lovren-VVD-Robertson
Keita-Fabinho-Hendo
Salah-Firmino-Mane

Karius
Clyne-Klavan-Matip-Gomez
Wjini-Milner-Lallana
Shaq-Sturridge-Origi

Migs
Phillips-Jones-Masterson-Moreno
Ojo-Grujic-Woodburn
Marko-Solanke-Ings

keller, Grabara, Juanma, Kane, Camacho, Turner, Adekanya

This is even not mentioning OX

We have a good group here. No reason why we cant compete on all fronts. I know that some will say that certain players arent good enough. Then there are some above who will leave. But right at this moment we have players that are good enough to fill gaps in our squad when needed. The first team I named is class. They will start most games imo. But the second team are not a bad side at all. They should be more than capable of being a rotation squad. they might not be good enough to beat the top 6 sides but should def be good enough to play relegation candidates.

My hope this season is 1 trophy, Quarter finals of the Champions League and finish second in the league. that would be a great season.

Of course the dream is to win the league but what I said my hope is, would be a successful season.

Muahahaha

Fabinho is not yet up to Kloppo fitness but he showed some clever passing tonight. Also his tactical foul when Utd were on a good break, he adds a long overdue edge to snuffing chances out in midfield
