So what do you expect to see from LFC when the phoney war ends and the real fighting begins? Saturday 14th August 5:30pm Norwich My view is: a) I want to see 90mins performance. Not a 30mins per half thing like last year but not slow stuff going side to side either. I am not saying go hell for leather here, a good controlled tempo thats consistent over the 90mins. Something that says we are fully fit and at our level again. b) I want to see the mentality. I don't want to see big heads missing the target loads and shrugging. Just want to see fight for every ball, every pass and every chance. I don't wan to see us panicking if the first one doesn't go in but going after the game. c) It'd be nice to see a fully fit 11 but realistically thiago and VVD and gomez I think will be short of fitness. I'd like just to see us bring the players through the 90 without issue and seeing 30-45 mins out of vvd. The result can be anything but its the tone that we set that's what I really want to see.
I have to say the general game plan on show from the training camp would have to give confidence. Irrespective of the level of opposition the pressing game on show was very good. For the first games henderson and thiago will be bit part but until they get injured keita and ox look very very good. It's really just a question of seeing how they get through a full 90
