Preston North End 0-2 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Lucky escape here. We must do better.

Adrian!!!

Peppering our goal..

Our experienced lads showing the younger ones how not to do it.

are we sure we have 11 on the pitch ?

Adrian!!!

It’s been a long time coming but he’s finally earning his paycheck today.

Midfield really struggling to progress the ball up to the forward line

What midfield? Literally non existent

Ragged stuff this

Preston want this so much more

I know we've made 11 changes but apart from Morton and Blair there's still plenty of experience there.

Should be doing better.

they are not defending nor creating how can these lads go to Jürgen and expect to play at the weekend

Aye and these have made 9.

Very poor.

We don't want to have to rely on Jota and Firmino  coming on to get us over the line, but the the guys that are playing for places aren't impressing here.

The problem is that our midfield is not very balanced. The main position is being held by a school boy. Ox and Jones have to come back, or at least one of them does, to help out otherwise they will continue to get acres of space.

Stop hoofing the ball ffs.

I think for once Jürgen is lost for words

Difficult to know where to start really.

Ox really doesn’t do himself any favours does he. Every game he is given a chance from the start, he always fails to impress. He should be running this midfield but he’s been completely anonymous yet again.

Defence has been clumsy so far and the attack aren’t involved other than chasing after scraps.

Not good up to this point.

Sounds like I  am not missing much

Two reserve teams of strangers playing a pre season friendly

a team randomly throwing together is going to be disjointed.

Would probably get a better performance from the entire u23 line up

This really feels like a typical cup game. If we score first, we might end up scoring a boatload. But we could just as easily lose this.

Sounds like I  am not missing much

You’re definitely not. When our best player so far has been Adrian, I wouldn’t advise going out your way to watch the 2nd half.

Dearie me this is poor
