    Yes, no change at the academy. The new elite development coach needs to do the work of bringing these lads into the senior camp now and it'll be first down to him.

    If you have saved your free sub for lfc tv go now is the time.

    Sunday has two friendlies that are both on the channel and I am going to assume we are going to see a dress rehearsal and last chance to impress so it's worth tuning into imo

    Interesting team.

    Basically you can put your house on that being "close" to the opening day team. Barring a signing of course.

    Nunez is the stiffs for this evening.
    Konate in the stiffs.
    Gakpo in the stiffs.
    Bradley in the stiffs.

    This looks entirely as expected.

    Passing for passing sake, taking risks at the back then eventually finally go fast twice and look for a cross.

    Lots of triangles and that.

    We are seeing some players who are barely back not really at the pace of the system but it is rather predictable at the same time.

    If I were Ipswich I'd be saying tuck in narrow, don't get drawn, let them tap it about. Once it goes wide do in hard

    The one player I am disappointed in is szobo.

    He really hasn't moved. The energy amd sprint seems a bit lacking

    That's filth from seville. No need in preseason if if you've been destroyed all half.

    Trent also injured? It'll be stephenson if we have to make a sub

    That was executed well
    Like a training routine
    I am now worried about Ipswich as we will be super confident

    Ray always was an intelligent football man.

    Just ignored gravenberch, szobo, quansah, vvd and big Al of course. All over 6 foot.

    Yeah Jota is shorter but he's just made a goal by being string and laying off a long ball. Nunez is the option there.

    Wingers and full backs don't need to be tall they need to be nippy. Houghton should know this as he was a nippy busy little bee

    Thst was all about Jota making the breaking ball but finally we get to see szobo run.

    Do it more would be my message to the lad.

    Jota at the core of all 3 goals.

    Amazing finish. Strength and assist for Diaz and then again made the break for the pass to szobo.

    Proper cf play there. Players running off him
