Liverpool FC - Pre-season

In terms of depth or strength of the starting XI? A lot of fans prayers have been answered in trimming down that midfield which now paves the way for a few of the younger guys to showcase what they can do. I suppose depth in other areas can always be improved, other than at LB the defensive options don’t fill me with the utmost confidence, it’ll take some time for the new team to gel and sure they’ll be a few sticky patches along the way but all in all feeling optimistic and relaxed for the season ahead.

Just think we’ve lost a ton of leadership.

Mac is the only one prem proven, Lavia is young and was per of a very poor Southampton side.
I think naturally it will take Dom time to settle as it does for the majority of foreign players.

Bobby
Naby
Ox
Milner
Hendo
Fabinho

Gone - look at the experience and the importance of all (bar naby) in that dressing room.

Replaced with

Mac
Dom

maybe Lavia
Maybe 1 other

We’re light on numbers and experience / leaders in my opinion.

Virgil, Robbo, Dom and Mo captain their national sides.

Leadership isn’t an issue.

We are significantly better. Dom, McAlister and Lavia (if we get him) are individually huge upgrades on anyone we had last year.

But… as a team we probably won’t be a coherent unit until the club has a consistent run of around 8 to 10 games playing roughly the same squad.

I wouldn’t be surprised by an inconsistent and slow start. But I expect a strong 2nd half.

The first 4 were always likely candidates to go. Ox and Naby non entities post Roma for Ox atleast.

What’s the use of counting players who never are fit anyway?

That ignores so much of their contributions in our success over the last few years.

Live open training session starts soon

Very ornate legware. I’m assuming that’s local?

That’s a pretty decent turn out for a training session, more fans there than at the Etihad on it’s best day.

I don’t like the way we do those long training videos. Get about 10 seconds of zoomed in clips of our players walking about then cut to the presenters chatting shite.
