Liverpool 2-0 Auxerre (Friendly) 20th July

Liverpool FC v Auxerre
Friday 20th July 2007
Pre Season Friendly

2pm KO on this one.  Not good for the 9-5 ers. 

Will Torres get his first goal - will Voronin continue his good pre-season? Can the reds make it 4 pre-season wins on the trot?

(Or have i just jinxed us)

I've got this strong feeling Torres will bag his first! Hope I'm right! Really looking forward to this, it's only pre-season as well!

unfortunately I'll be one of the 9-5ers on friday and miss this one


ps if any of you have a sat system that gets the foreign channels the game may be on there.i was able to scan my system for tuesdays game and picked it up on eurosport (germany)

KK you jinx!  Well there's always one...

Got a feeling Torres will start.  Anyone find problems connecting to live streams on tuesday? 

Just booked the afternoon off for this one. Never got this excited about pre season before... BUT HELL WE DO LOOK GOOD...TORRES HATRICK PLEASE....COM ON...

Any links to watch it live i havent got setana.

2pm kick off is great news, for me anyway. That is 11pm here so I will finally be able to stream the match at a decent hour, if I can get a good streaming link

I stayed up for the 4:15am kick off on Wed morning, but was so tired and had a sh*t link so gave up. Fingers crossed I can get a good one for tomorrow night. Really looking forward to this one

Liverpool Auxerre...I remember going to that UEFA 4th Round second leg in 2003, the 27th of february, we beat them 3-0 aggregate. 2-0 at home, it was my birthday..a perfect day....

It would be nice to see torres getting a goal, but I'd like to see more of this Voronin-kuyt-Benayoun, some passing were great to see..

I've got Sky but clueless about 'scanning for other channels' - any tips?

I've also got an eseason ticket (free with the LFC credit card) but I think that's just commentary again like Tuesday :-(

5Live seem to think Torres will start tomorrow; I'm looking forward to the match, think we've got a cracking squad and have a very good feeling about this season........... Need to make a visit to the bookies!!

Got a mate with Setanta! He's a bluenose though so I'll have to put up with the constant moaning!  Worth it for the Reds though!

i hav sky, does anyone know how to scan for other channels?

hopefully torres starts and some of the strikers get goals to up their confidence i.e. Kuyt and Torres

To be honest, I don't like preseason games, they tend to really mislead us when it comes to the real thing. I remember we had a brilliant preseason last (and previous years)but had a hell of a slow start. I hope we continue with our blistering pace this time around.

hope torres scores needs a goal to for confidence

i broke my foot 2 weeks ago , so im up 2 date with everything so its nice to no liverpool play ! and i git setanta

Njadula, we had a dreadful Pre season last time, we got thrashed twice and reina played centre midfield, so we reely haven't had a good pre season!

Well I've got to say I'm absolutely hooked on reading these pre match posts 

Please can I get this topic back on track and talk about the match ?, and not about it's 2pm kick off or how can I watch the match (there is a thread about internet links for matches.)

Well, this should be a good test for our boys, I expect a strong team fielded, with only a handfull of subs to take place.
Don't be suprised about tactics - I think Rafa will try out a few formations with some of the new players.
I expect Yossi to start with Babel and Torres to come on for the second half.
I will stick my neck out for another 3-2 win for the Reds.
Voronin, Gerrard and Torres.

In the last game Voronin got the first 60 and was then replaced by Torres for the last 30.  I would imagine Rafa will be keen to give Torres a longer run out so he may reverse the roles.

It may be interesting to see Torres and Voronin on together?

Hopefully Fernando will grab his first goal - I remember (was it Crouch?) who started off on a goal drought and the papers were on his case. 

A good game - a good result and most important of all - no injuries for our lads.

I'll be interested to see how the defense lines up. Looked a bit slack the other night pushing up the pitch but not playing the line too well.

Would be very nice to see how Torres and Voronin play together, although maybe we might see Crouch and Torres line up?

I'll go for 2-1 to us. Torres and Babel.

I'd like to see Voronin and Torres play together as well! I would like to see Lucas Leiva sometime during pre-season but I've heard he is currently training at Melwood with the reserves waiting on his Italian passport.

Im going to say 3-1 to the reds.

Torres, Gerrard and Voronin to continue his goal scoring.

Have the afternoon booked off and only work round the corner from the 1st National on James Street so will be parking my arse in there about 1-ish and will be blowing the froth off a few pints of the electric water.

Can't think of a better way to spend a Friday afternoon

The beer could be free?

Carlsberg don't do free pints...

I am looking forward to this one, I think we will win, but I hope that some of the new boys get more of a chance this game, which I'm sure they will. Hope that we can continue the decent attacking display from the other night and keep it tight at the back, I'll say 3-1 Liverpool.
