Best pre-season friendlies since?

No offence to some of the teams we have played in recent years but

(Preston aside - which is in essence a reserve game)

AS Roma
Olympiacos
Man City
AC Milan
Borussia Dortmund

What a cracking line up.

We'll be proper disappointed when the Champions League draw has been done!!

Anyone remember a more impressive pre-season fixture list?

Wow, that's really a test, very useful practice for the CL. Couldn't really have a better mix.

Maybe the CL draw had been made and no one told us,

AS Roma, Olympiakos, group stage,
Man City Q final, AC Milan semi final,
Borussia Dortmund Final,

Have we missed it. ?

All those clubs for pre-season friendlies...that's progression for you, oh yeah forgot we got PNE to...perhaps not then ?

Be knackered by the start of the season !

AC Milan aren't in the Champions League mate.

I always wondered about some of our pre season games. Ok playing Crewe or Wrexham is fine 1st game out helps them make some money. Can do a degree understand the trips to the states or Thailand for the fanbase etc

But I have always been baffled by the lack of major opponents nearer the start of the season. Proper games to bring on match fitness, especially at Anfield 

This is a great set of games! Really looking forward to the new season!

Definitely the best looking friendlies I've seen in my time with LFC. There's a high chance the Dortmund game will be tougher over the 90 then our opening game of the season, if it were a promoted/lesser side at home at least.

Roma usually give our kids a good battle, we'd expect to put a few past Olympiakos, the games against City and Milan will be cracking affairs.

I don't expect us to keep clean sheets almost the entire time like last season (think all but the Celtic game were victories and clean sheets?), will be interesting if we have a new keeper to replace Jones in second spot and he's given a few halves in that mini-tournament in the USA.
