      What’s the point of this pre season if it’s to practice suicidal tactics,
      Any decent team will pick us apart.

      2-1 just by passed our midfield one ball over the top and we are fooked

      This is how all teams will play against City and Liverpool with that 3-2 defensive setup. That’s why it’s so important to have the right quality players in the defensive unit

      when Trent just  moved to the middle of the park we had Robbo out wide left and just our 2CB's in our own half we will get slaughtered like that against better teams

      I think that called talking to the converted. We seem to have not learned any lessons from last season so far

      Definitely a LCB going to be needed.
      Should have been done by now

      Mac Allister is our new Coutinho, only I think he looks better. Attack looks promising, defensively we still look suspect. Not too optimistic there. Virgil still looking a step slow, Konate still loves a lunging, dangerous challenge and Trent just isn’t a true defender.

      We could use a good DM to help pull it together 👀

      Feel for Robbo he looks lost in this system and leaving VVD and Konate exposed to cover.

      Still more questions than answers around this system seems so reliant on certain personnel . Screaming out for LCB and DM which we all know .

      I counted at least three all out sprints he had to make to get back into position because Virgil and Konate were on walkabout.

      He should be part of the back 3 in this system if Trent has gone forward so if he is sprinting back it’s because he shouldn’t be bombing forward leaving just the two CB’s alone.

      stick Mascherano in front of them and it would look different but where do you get another Mascherano and he would cost a lot more than the £50mil we refuse to pay now

      TAA is useless in this midfield. Let him play at RB. We're letting ourselves vulnerable at the back for nothing.

      he just lost the ball twice there in the centre circle. Why make things complicated we have tremendous talent going forward we need a defence now to match

      When I was their age I couldn't even comprehend starting for Liverpool. My life was about music, skiing and girls.

      Diaz is so wasteful in front of goal. We'd rather have Nunez starting.
