    I wanted to get this out quick so i could write a proper comment then....

    My first thoughts are...

    1. we are weak in goal

    2. we brought quite a few kids i didn't expect to see go, sama, mcloughlin and smith to name but a few. good for them i guess.

    3. very interesting to see suso down as the u19s is just over so it'll be interesting to see if he's going just because or for some good reason

    4. not sure how we'll make a front 3 if that is rodgers intent at this time. cole, borini carroll should in theroy be obvious, pacheco, downing and eccleston could back up.

    He is.

    Also interested in the fact Ecclestone and Pacheco have been included... I would have thought they'd have been moved on by Rodgers, but I think it just goes to show he's willing to give everyone a chance.

    Can't see Ecclestone staying past pre-season though to be fair.

    Don't know about Doni, but Reina might not have played, but has been training and been involved with Spain only just over two weeks ago. He can do with a long rest considering he will play every week.

    adjoran is a midifelder and ibe i thought is so young and is a winger i thought but how and ever.

    the toronto game will be interesting.

    4-3-3s

    jones
    Kelly carra skertl enrique
    hendo lucas? gerrard
    borini carroll sterling

    gulasci
    johnson wisdom agger robinson
    aquilani Spearing Adam
    pacheco eccleston cole

    for an example... 45mins each should be very interesting to see if we see any trends develop over the 3 games.

    Danny Wilson, a forgoten man if there ever was one!!!

    Wonder if he will live up to his expectations when we bought him or another that will get shipped out.

    no Coates!!! Why!!! <whistle>

    Injury maybe? I know he isn't in the Olympics, maybe getting ready for a move? I have already said my piece on the transfer thread about if we are getting Dempsey we missed a trick here.
     
    #19
  20. Yeah, saw your bit about Dempsey <ok>

    Already knew Doni wasn't at the Olympics too, just wasn't sure whether not being in the squad was due to injuring or not being a LFC player any more. I didn't think he was listed on the website any more but having had a second glance I realised I was being blind <ok>
