Sturridge will eventually get a goal here, him and Naby seem to be developing a little understanding...

That Kelleher kid came on for Karius there...

Harry Palmr

Kelleher on for Karius

~Rebel~

Good hour from Karius to be honest. Not too much to do in goal, but great distribution.

Great to have a Corkman on the pitch now!

Caoimhin Kelleher now on for last half hour

Keita's through balls are huge.

and again, and twice Sturridge has failed to take advantage.

Was about to say that he’s looked a step above in the pre season walking pace, and hopefully some foolish managers with money in their pocket were watching...then he misses from 6 yards out.

Harry Palmr

Markovic with a lovely finish. Storrage with the well weighted assist.

(only two more goals to go! )

Riesen_Meal

Well that was unlikely...

Gaillimh1976

Who said Markovic hat trick earlier?

Would've expected him to score the chance a few minutes before as well.

It's a funny one, we watch this as a non-event match really, but these moments are probably close to a career highlight for that kid so far. Senior team, behind VVD, Robertson, Keita, Fabinho etc.



Good goal from Marko.. he's looked pretty good I think actually. But I suppose we've always known his issues are mentality rather than ability.

I said I wouldn't let myself get too excited but this Alisson signing has tipped the balance for me

To a youngster it is never a non event if you can play with Ward now going he is now up a rung in the ladder and I do not think both Karius & Mignolet will stay

Vicxas

I wonder if they're planning on moving Sturridge back. Maybe slot him in as a number 10

He usually wanders back to 8 / 10 ish positions normally anyway.

Harry Palmr

Naby Keita is so good even Sturridge finally scored.

Riesen_Meal

Knew he would score eventually...

Baby Keith with the assist...

Current score?

~Rebel~

Great bit of play from Keita again, and lovely finish from Studge.

Indeed, a tap in.

Dare I say it but Sturridge has looked much fitter/stronger. Why does he get my hopes up every preseason to crush them two weeks into the season with another injury

Jones definitely doesn't play like a 17 year old. Very impressive in all the preseason games so far this season.

rob316

Sturridge looks very built never remember him like that. What a player to have off the bench if he could manage half the games even.

First look at keita, me likey

Wouldn't have quite said that... it wasn't necessarily a tough chance, but the way he sorted his feet out to slip it around the keeper was a nice little touch of composure and class.

But he was there to tap it in. Give some credit.

I remember Andy Carroll never being in the box for stuff like that.

Harry Palmr

Camacho and Jones have both been excellent this pre-season. Obviously I'd like to back reference my foresight with Jones who I liked the look of the first game I saw him v Leicester in the U18s as a 16 year old but Camacho has taken me by surprise.

Two dodgy sarcasm detectors I see.

Interesting to see how he links up with our actual forwards.

Vicxas

Putting too much stock into one match but Sturridge and Markovic are looking very sharp

davyboy1975

The boss looks happy with the signing anyway :-)

Was just thinking about that! He'll love Firmino's movement/one-two returns in particular I think.

~Rebel~

Nabby looking head and shoulders the best player on the pitch.

My Photoshop skills are thinking...

"That's not real"

Harry Palmr

Baby Keith/Nabby was terrific, such immediate ball control and rapid thinking as to what to do with same. Either attack space or play the pass, no messing about wondering where to put it. As a transition player he'll be awesome against the big teams in Europe and the likes of Arsenal, City but also able to pick the lock v pack defences.

Riesen_Meal

Can't get more official than the Roma account, thankfully that's over...

~Rebel~

When he faces camera, the LFCTV host pitchside looks like he's got a teabag behind his ear, with the string hanging out...

They haven't confirmed where his new adventure is.

He could have signed for Chelsea

Klopp:

"When the opportunity to sign one of the world’s best goalkeepers come up - then it’s not a long thought, to be honest, it’s only that you need to have a little talk with the owners! They were quite excited, so we did it."

SlickRic

Alisson:

"I'm really happy, it's a dream come true to wear such a prestigious shirt for a club of this size that is used to always winning. You can be certain that I'll give my all."

Did he just catch that f**cken ball Jesus :pac:

*Cracking summer from the club. Three weeks before the window closes and we looked to have strengthened seriously. If anyone else comes in it's just added bonus territory. Best and most ambitious 12 months I've ever seen from the club.

Robertson
Ox
Salah
VVD
Keita
Fabinho
Shaqiri
Alisson


Three weeks can't come quick enough.

*As long as there are no major outs but I don't think there will be.

Welcome to LFC Becker...

Massive signing and a real statement of intent.

Could it Karius to the title?

James Horncastle on TAW:

"He's a phenomenal goalkeeper." 🇧🇷

"Liverpool aren't only upgrading, they're getting as good a goalkeeper as they could possibly have imagined they'd get."
