      Regardless of some of you saying result doesnt count, the fact that the team looks completely disjointed is quite the concern, espcially since one or two "first" team players were very shoddy, fit or not.

      180 minutes, no goals. Friendly or not, it's not great reading.

      Needs sorting out sharpish.

      Well. Its only a friendly anyway. Pacheco looks really good. His skill on the ball remind me of Messi. Rafa should work on him! We could creat a 'new Messi'.

      We lost the game. That's enough to make me pissed off. But you're right about the inexperience. Add sloppiness and tiredness to that.

      Not a good game to watch and not really any great individual performances. Although Pacheco looked lively.

      We've got to start improving and get fit soon. The season is only a matter of weeks away now.

      It's never good to lose but if you going to lose now is the time, and not when the season starts, it's what these games are for to iron out all the holiday staleness, and for me the game done it's main job. You could see the Vienna club were well up on their fitness, their league kicks off this weekend and we have a few weeks to go. Good to see Mascha back, and was that a smile on his face at one point, anyway he's back so lets hope we will not here any more of him leaving, another mention for little Pacheco, what a talent, again he was the best of our players and even laid on a couple of goal chances for Kuyt, has to be in their with a chance of a starting place some time this season terrific prospect....

      Pre-season is pre-season, I don't know why so many people get their underwear in a knot over the result. Degen lasted 60 minutes, kids got a run out and no one got seriously hurt (well I think Yossi is okay). It is interesting to see what young players get to make the trip to Asian while the other who will be sent back down to the reserve team for their pre-season games.

      Not to mention 4 goals let in but luckily 3 of them ruled out.

      Has a slight knock thats why.

      Rather a poor pre season, were sloppy things can be ironed out, and go on to maybe win a league next May then set the world alight pre season and have a disjointed season

      We lost a Pre Season game, ok i wont lose too much sleep but still its always nice to show these low standard teams who's boss.

      I sensed a bit of frustration from two or three of the senior players Gerrard for one and i don't know if anyone noticed it but i felt a bit of a bad atmosphere in the squad. We'll know in the next game when we have the spainish players back if we dont start winning then ill start to worry.

      Hope Yossi is ok he took a bit of a knock at the end i hope its not serious.

      My underwear is perfectly fine. But I F***ing hate it when we get beat whether it's in pre season or not. Obviously the seriousness of this game was zero and the main focus is just to get the lads back on track. And to be fair, Rapid Vienna were clearly more fit and focused on the game.

      But I still hate it when we get beat. The only real plus we can take from this is the lads can watch the game back and see how not to play football when the season starts.

      True. I remember in the 80s when we were winning titles we had some pretty abysmal pre-seasons.

      Regardless of some of you saying result doesnt count, the fact that the team looks completely disjointed is quite the concern, espcially since one or two "first" team players were very shoddy, fit or not.

      In fairness though - at any point were our 'team' actually playing alongside each other.

      Bunch of kids out there - Pacheco and Nemeth are blatantly not taking their opportunities to shine.  I'm prepared to look on the bright side and say at this stage it is still all about the fitness.  Gerrard's assault charge is not helpful that he is travelling back to Liverpool and not to Thailand.

      However, for me, we definintely need back up for Torres. If we lose him to injury this season then we are in big trouble. Yossi's injury is a cause for concern and my oh my how I would love to see someone like Silva at Anfield.

      The owners need to deliver about £40 M to Rafa - they've let us down and like I keep saying - if you include the Keane sale - they haven't spent a penny on transfers this summer at Liverpool FC. An absolute joke.

      Pre-Season matters little, we've had great pre-seasons and had poor seasons, we've had poor pre-seasons and great seasons so does it matter?
