Match Day Thread Pre-season

Checked on LFC site but nothing confirmed on there.

Guess it'll be everyone apart from those at WC plus a few youngsters.

 

Kevin Stewart, McLaughlin, Ilori, Paez, Brad Smith, Rossiter, Adam Phillips, Peterson, Teixeira, Suso & Ibe are all in the squad for Brondy.

phillips needs his mum to travel cos he's that young. stewart is the guy pinched of the spuds and you know 'thers.

 

Today is the day. Our first pre season friendly against Brondby in Denmark. This makes a great oportunity for some players to stake their claim before the world cup players return to the squad.

-----------------------------------------

The Reds kick off their match preparations for 2014-15 at 5pm BST at the Brondby Stadion today, having started training sessions for the new campaign at Melwood last Monday.

Senior stars such as Agger, Joe Allen, Philippe Coutinho, Lucas Leiva and Martin Skrtel are joined in Scandinavia by a number of returning loan players and Academy youngsters.

After spells away from Anfield last season, Fabio Borini, Conor Coady, Jordon Ibe, Tiago Ilori, Suso and Andre Wisdom are all selected in the group to take on a side that finished fourth in the Danish league last season.

A host of starlets from the Reds' U18s and U21s have also travelled, including defender Kevin Stewart - who signed a professional contract with Liverpool earlier this month.

The Reds' squad in full is: Jones, Agger, Coutinho, Lucas, Allen, Ilori, Borini, Suso, Ibe, Kelly, Coady, Skrtel, Flanagan, Adorjan, Smith, Phillips, Rossiter, Wisdom, Jones, Ward, Teixeira, Peterson, Stewart.

-----------------------------------------

It will be good to see some of the youngsters and returning loaned players play.
I'd start this team:

-------------Jones------------------
---Kelly---Ilori---Agger(c)--Enrique---
-------------Lucas------------------
------Coutinho-------Allen-----------
----Suso-------------------Ibe------
-------------Borini-------------------

And bring in Wisdom, Skrtel, Flanagan, Texeira and Coady during the second half.

 

1. all will play. i fully expect to see max 45mins for anyone

2. I really do not expect to see a senior team first half and kids secod. I expect a more mashed up line up through out.

 

Full squad: Jones (Brad), Agger, Coutinho, Lucas, Allen, Ilori, Borini, Suso, Ibe, Kelly, Coady, Skrtel, Flanagan, Adorjan, Smith, Phillips, Rossiter, Wisdom, Jones (Lloyd), Ward, Teixeira, Peterson, Stewart.

 

Phillips is too young? How young... 12?!

 

This^!

Finally, real footy, again! I loved the WC, but prefer watching LFC, obviously.

 

Is it streaming anywhere?

 

LFC's own subscription website

 

it'll be for sure on the usual stream locations. Its on at 1am on lfc tv.

 

Its on BT Sports isn't it?


Edit: nope

 

it will be a sell out in denmark so i think it will certainly be streamed.

 

well 16 i think..

 

Its on BT sport at 5pm according to this site

The sound of the season approaching.

 

I'd like to see, 1st half:


------------Jones------------
Wisdom --Skrtel -- Ilori --Smith
------------Lucas-------------
Teixeira---Suso---Coutinho--Ibe
------------Borini-------------

Second half:

------------Jones------------
Kelly --Agger -- Ilori --Flanagan
------------Coady-------------
Teixeira---Suso---Rossiter--Ibe
------------Adorjan-------------

Those would be the players I'd most like to see again. Definitely give Tex', Suso, Ilori and Ibe the full game.

 

nothing wrong with that.

I was just thinking that agger would surely start first half as its at his former club so he's in pics etc.... but other wise I'd reckon a lot of players with swap at half time.

 

Good shout, MITO. I'd forgotten that.
