FC Lyn 0-2 Liverpool post-match musings

Seems like we had a hundred and one chances in this game but only managed to score two goals  :

Still, a win's a win in anybody's eyes, so we march on to play Athletico Madrid on Saturday at Anfield.

I was impressed with Lucas, Babel and Spearing today,all of whom played very well.

And I thought the new white European kit looked very cool  

Well played lads, see you at Anfield on Saturday  

Another win on Saturday please boys to go into the opening game of the season full of confidence.

Well done tonight.

Was expecting a few more goals, but it was a good run out for the lads in preparation of the the games ahead for the majority of the match we looked comfortable and dominated Fc Oslo, Pre season taken into account it wasn't bad at all.

Along with the players MsG mentioned, I was very impressed with Kelly as well.  Glad to see him and Spearing enjoying good games.  Negatives were Riera's injury, hope its not serious.  Might give Babel a run in the first team though, been very impressed with his attitude in pre season.

Loved the new kit also.

Much improved since the Espanyol game. Well in lads, lets keep up the good work.

Martin Kelly was given the man of the match by the official site, he did play very well, nice to see the youngsters breaking through and knocking on Rafa's door.

Knock knock knocking on Rafa's door. Hey, hey.
Knock knock knocking on Rafa's door.

You're really right. We've just very good talents in own rows.

quite enjoyed this one, some good performances, good lfc tv stream, nice kit, sunny weather....and then the ice cream man turned up..it doesnt get any better......

^^^  You big kid Hampshire Red

Glad you enjoyed it......it's always nice when the Red men win isn't it....or in today's case....the White men 

The kit was so bright I had to wear shades.

Nice kit.



Did I miss the ice cream man then?

Saturday will be interesting as I expect Rafa to go with his strongest team, tonight we again were a team of reserves and first team, surely it's close enough now to the opening game and we must see where we lie with our best and prepare them, we have one game left to do this and get it right....

Well done tonight Redmen!

There were some lovely looking touches whilst attacking. It's a shame we couldn't have bagged about 10 but a win is indeed a win and everyone on the whole had a decent game tonight.

Thought the kit looked good. Team looked OK too.

Thought the kit looked good.

Agreed.

Alonso could have waited a day or so to play in all white, but for us.

Ah well. Players come and go. Looks like Kelly is ready to come!

God, that looks so bad! You know what I meant though!

The pace of Liverpool's  play was a lot better tonight and thought we created a lot of chances.

Some good performances from the fringe players but thought Lucas's runs from deep and his passing were great and stood out for me.

Well done and hopefully another good performance on Saturday

I just got back from India and I really can't be bothered to check the match thread.

Who scored the goals?

Lazy bum 

Hope you had a boss time chats 

Voronin and N'Gog scored

Much better performance. Very impressed with Kelly at right back and centre back. Hope he gets more of the first team next season. Back up right back as well as centre back. Very impressed.

Didn't realize that this game was tonight  :

Will head off to the match report and check it out!

Same here. Big lad for a 19 year old too.

Feeling somewhat better about defensive cover tonight.

N'Gog's goal was boss too!

Lucas played well but was impressed with Babel and Ngog had a couple of good touches.

Lazy bum 

Hope you had a boss time chats 

Voronin and N'Gog scored

Thanks MsG (And India was great, but I'll save that for another topic!)

Nice to see us bounce back from the Espanyol defeat and I'm really looking forward to the Atletico game now.

With one game left to play before the season starts, I hope the likes of Stevie and Torres tune up a bit. Especially Torres.

But happy about the win and the control of the game as it progressed. Thought Mascherano bossed it and you could see the confidence from him. Kelly had a very good game. Cavalieri deserves a mention for those two superb saves he made in the first half too.

Was sorry to see Riera get injured but hopefully it isn't serious.

Saturday Kenny.....Torres especially will be raring to go.

I think it's rather apparent that Torres needs to step it up a gear. He has been quiet pre-season.

But Voronin and N'Gog have been scoring. Which means the roles will be reversed come the first day against Tottenham. Always the way.

Good result. Another run out.. another cracking atmosphere which further demonstrates our worldwide support and another confidence booster for Ryan Babel who played well. Hopefully the Riera injury is not serious. One more tester before the big first day. El Nino will relish the occasion against Atletico and I'm sure everyone will be ready and very hungry by the time we play Spurs.   

Missed the game because i had training but will watch it on LFC.TV tomorrow at some point. From what i have heard though they caused us a fair few problems?

Will give my view on the game tomorrow.

The new white jersey is gorgeous. I thought Ngog held it up well and is improving with every game.

Naa. They were sh*t

The only problem we had was 'Giggidy's dodgy ankle!

Seen the result and not the game from what I have heard Lyn are sh*t and are in all sorts so I was expecting a bigger win.

I see nobody is willing to give props to Voronin for scoring so I will (well done lad), the only thing that does concern me is the lack of involvement from Gerrard and Torres this pre season. Stevie missed the Asian tour and Torres has played in pathces to me this is a bit of a worry as at this stage of pre season you want your key players to work on their sharpness.

We could have won by a bigger margin but the lads weren't really going for hordes of goals, instead they were trying out new things like Benny and Voro were on target but had shots saved because they were attempting to chip the keeper rather than to put the ball in the net.

This pre-season has all been a ploy to lull tottenham into a false sense of security, and we'll hammer them 11-1.

And the 1 they get will be courtesy of Carra.

Keane gonna grab one again is he?
This was one of those games where almost every shot was just lacking in the finish, on another day we would have scored 8 easy with this kind of display. The two we got were quality clinical finishes from some players we need to step up which was great, and still loving Babels promising performance
And Masch's pass to Doss for the lay off to N'gog, who needs Xabi eh?

who needs Xabi eh?

Who?

Just seen Voronin's goal, he actually smiled

I just got back from band practice/pub, and only seen the highlights on SSN, and Ngog's goal was well took, and likewise for Voronin. Good cross for Babel aswell, anyone enlighten me how he played tonight?

New kit looks nice too. Might save my next paycheck to get one Might get Aquilani on back too, give the new lad a chance and that!

Loved the kit. Thought that Babel was quite good too. Johnson was also good. Lucas and Spearing done well in 1st half. Nice win. NEXT

A good result ! Hope this is the start of our best season in almost two decades! Good to see Babel & Johnson playing well.
I can't wait for the start of the season!    I hope Aquilani settles in with us b4 the big games!
Bring on the Spurs!!!

much better performance. have never been Ngog's biggest fan but I thought he did ok last night.
Kelly did well and should have scored. Strongest 11 has to start Sat.

Good game all in all was impressed with both Babel and Ngog San jose still looked a bit edgy to me but Kelly was rock solid !

Good experience that for Kelly. It seemed we were playing Degen as a CF for the last 20 or so minutes!

Degen did have a good game he kept running at defenders done well in my opinion.

Yeah it's his best so far I reckon, he can only improve right.

Still needs to improve on his defensive skill though if he could learn how to tackle he could be a decent backup.
