    I know it's only pre-season and the result doesn't mean anything... But for **** sake, it still annoys me a fair bit when we start losing!

    They've basically played everyone from their first 11... and it's their best attack playing at the moment - Lamela, Bojan (Destro has just signed)... as well as Burdisso, Heinze, Bradley, Osvaldo.

    There's quite a gulf in class. We're trying our hardest to play possession football, but we're not doing enough with the ball when we have it. Some of our players also haven't quite got the hang of this "Don't boot it upfield" mentality. Adam and Sama in particular.

    Wouldn't have it any other way but the fitness and theory are more important at the moment and there have been some good signs.

    Cant Wait to see:

    GK:Reina
    RB:Johnson
    CB: Agger
    CB: Skrtel
    CM:Lucas
    CM: SHelvey/Gerrard
    CM: Aquilani
    RF: Suarez
    LF: Pacheco
    CF: Borini/Caroll

    Then we will know where we are at

    To those that will no doubt complain, remember that Agger is just back, Skrtel only played a half, Carra was playing, Cole, Adam, Pacheco and Aquilani are playing (shop window?). We're playing teenagers - no Reina, no Doni, no Kelly, Johnson, Coates, Henderson, Gerrard, Downing, Bellamy, Borini or Suarez. Lucas is just back from a serious injury.

    Good finish from Charlie Adam, put some feeling into that. Calm again from Pacheco, liking what I'm seeing from him this pre-season. Playing his way back in.

    Yeah, I know the fitness is the crucial aspect of all of this. And yes, there have been good signs from what i've seen of the game. (Stream keeps closing down though! <grr>)

    I just don't like losing. At anything. So, come on Liverpool! Start the comeback...

    Danny Wilson must hate himself for his versatility.

    How many of the outfield players are over 21 though? They're young, it's natural.

    Not a criticism, it wouldn't be acceptable from our proper side, for sure.

    Positives: Shelvey, Cole, Sterling first half. Shelvey, lucas, Pacheco, Suso, Agger second half....

    We were playing with one cf and neither morgan or eccleston have played a competitive game before so goals are never going to come easy against a giant like Roma.

    Bring in a few of the internationals and i think we will be looking pretty tidy...
