By then everyone will be either sold, knackered or injured !

especially with the mileage to be covered for the pre season. When will they really have time to rest and train before the season starts. Enough of this crase for commercial gains over what truely matters which is the sporting bit which would still help improve the commercial aspect

So they fly to mainland Asia, then fly to Australia and then back for another game in Asia. The players are going to be buggered, nevermind all the other bits of traveling.

Don't mind all those fixtures. The Preston game will be used to look at youngsters and squad players. BTW they are charging £15 a ticket. Horrible for a pre-season game.

That's a decent price that.

Young scouse scal's day out at Preston!

No one will notice the F***ing difference.

I know old farts like me have to move with the times and embrace our global fanbase.   I love the fact that millions of people follow Liverpool worldwide,  but I do think its a ridiculous itinery that will hinder the players in terms of conditioning ahead of the opening league games.  Still, commercial revenues will no doubt compensate for bolloxing up the start of the season like last year.

Have to agree with you hun, the lads will be knackered before the season even starts and we all know what happens if we have to start playing catch up

exiled how the hell did the Preston City Council know that you would be out of prison on the July 13th.

It's a condition of my parole that all Local Authorities within a certain circumference or as they like to call it 'fall out radius' are notified of my release and any accompanying impending doom is fully covered. sh*t scared of getting sued so they are. Shitbags.

only two weeks away fellow Liverpool supporters, until we get to see a wealth of young talent, and a bunch of more experienced men in the second half presumably, play preston north end. I am excited!!

 So the training starts tomorrow, doesn't it?

So the training starts tomorrow, doesn't it?

It certainly does.

Good to see that Raheem was in training from a few days back.

Whoever put that itinerary together needs a good F***ing!.

Fly to Indonesia, play a game.

Fly to Australia, play a game.

Then fly to F***ing Thailand and play a game?.

Why not play Indonesia and Thailand and then go to Australia?.

Talk about making things hard for ourselves.

That is F***ing shocking.

I guess I understand everybody's concern, but I think a lot of you are forgetting the advances made in sports science, recovery and travel for the team. They are not flying like everybody else will. They'll be flying on a chartered plane with their diets and recovery time specifically mapped out to best suit them. Big clubs routinely fly all over the friggin world and end up first or second in their respective league. We will be fine.

Looks like a tough pre-season but then, let's face it, it's not like it's actual work.
