      Pre Season #2 : Fleetwood Town 0-5 Liverpool
      Jul 11, 2016 08:52:02 pm
      So it's our second pre season game...

      V

      It will be the first team the two sides have met at Highbury Stadium. In 2003, the two sides played a pre-season friendly at Bloomfield Road, with the Reds winning 6-1.  The only player to remain from both teams that day is of course, Fleetwood Town captain, Nathan Pond.

      Pre Match talk from Fleetwood:

      Steven Pressley: “They are one of greatest club’s in English football history and I am sure it will be a great experience for many of our players. Liverpool are a club that I have great admiration for and they have a manager in place that I have studied in great depth and I believe our footballing philosophies are very similar. 

      “My intention prior to the game is to give each player 45 minutes. We have a very detailed plan in place that all the players are ready come the 6th August.”


      Pre Match from Liverpool:

      Jürgen Klopp welcomes problems and challenges during Liverpool's pre-season schedule – as they will ensure his players are ready for the Premier League kick-off next month.

      The Reds began their run of nine preparation matches with a 1-0 win over Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park on Friday night, Danny Ings powering in the decisive goal on 79 minutes.

      Klopp’s side were made to work hard for the result, squandering several chances to take the lead after the hosts had struck the post through Connor Jennings in the first half.

      But the manager insisted that kind of game is required at this stage of pre-season and provides early examples of what must be tweaked before facing Arsenal on August 14.

      “It’s always nice to see the very young lads in games like this and think ‘oh!’ because they make really big steps.

      “That’s good to see. The young boys only enjoy it, they have no pressure, and it’s nice.

      “But for all of the other players, they have to show a little bit to me and the crowd, and the opponent is hard and well organised.

      “We need these moments in the pre-season to go through. If it’s easy in each game in the pre-season, then we get the first problem in the first game in the Premier League.

      “So we want to have the problems in the pre-season and be well prepared in the Premier League.”

      Referee:
      Kevin Friend will officiate the game between Pressley and Klopp’s men.



      I'm sure everyone will get a run out, Ings will feature again no doubt as will Mane. It will be interesting to see how strong of a side we do put out though.

      What's your predictions for this one and who would you like to see get a run out?

      Interested to see if Sakho and Coutinho get a runout.

      You would think they told him to go home this past weekend grab a few things or see family and then fly back over.

      Someone had an Instagram pic of him arriving back in UK at an airport. So I guess I should add him to the earlier reference to Sakho and Coutinho.

      In that case we could see the same lineup as on Friday, with Coutinho in for Woodburn, Grujic in for Ejaria or Alexander-Arnold (sorry all) and Sakho in for Ilori or Wisdom. Something like that. I suppose Manninger/Trialist could be in rather than Bogdan.

      Also, is Joe Gomez training yet?

      Back in training but not with the main group mate.  According to ACL protocols he won't be doing any contact training till at least the end of July and his injury was more severe than Ings so he may not be ready for a while yet.

      In the meantime would you consider Lucas, Ilori or Wisdom to be a 4th-choice center back? It may only matter in these preseason matches, but if it is still going to be a while for Joe (understandably), someone has to be in that role.

      I would vote Lucas, who played well there when asked last season (he may be more suited for the back than midfield at this point anyway.

      Watching today's shooting practice it was interesting that Ings even get's pissed at himself at practice and JĂźrgen looked to be tearing Phil a new one there for about 30 seconds.

      I would think Klopp wants 20-22 first teamer's so i think Lucas's versatility & experience gets him a spot with Illori & Wisdom in the shop window.

      It could be any one of them mate. 

      Common sense would suggest Lucas due to experience and versatility but he may not want a bit part in the squad.  Then again it depends on how/if either of the other two impress during pre season. 

      Ilori is the more talented of the two but talent alone isn't enough if the application and effort isn't there. 

      Wisdom hasn't had any time with JĂźrgen yet due to being with Norwich all last season and hasn't even played at CB for about 3 seasons, so he has the chance to spring a surprise but he's not the tallest for a CB and JĂźrgen likes his tall defenders.

      All 3 could end up staying if no offers come in for them.

      Expecting another mix and match team selection tonight. Don't think there is much for us to learn in these early games but hopefully a few youngsters will show what they can do.

      Going for 3-0 but I think the score will be secondary to fitness and hopefully an injury free performance.

      Pre match build up commences. 

      I've already packed for my journey to Lancashire after the match, ready for work tomorrow.

      Already eaten.

      Need to walk the dog, then a shower and pack toiletries.  Crack open a can and I'm ready to go  ;D
