Liverpool FC - Pre-season

A good excuse to visit Berlin :wink:

Oxlade as a no.9? That 2nd 11 looks tasty attacking wise.

No Musiasowski?

No surprise Gomez and VvD are not playing. What about Nat?

Probably more advanced than it seems that transfer.

Is Kelleher injured?

Guessing it might be Salah as the 9?

Looking at the players, could be a 4231:

Defence

Milner, Keita

Elliott, Ox, Mane

Salah

I heard the Ox is being looked at as a new number 9 for us. I actually suggested it a year ago I think. Might throw my CV into Liverpoolā€™s emails now that I think of it.

Yeah, or Ox at no.9 as Euphoria mentions with Elliot as a no.10.

Good 4 attackers who could interchange nicely though.

Soā€¦

Phillips, Woodburn, van Dijk, Gomez, Kelleher, Awoniyi, Jones, Marcelo and Musialowski not involved.

Obviously van Dijk and Gomez are not yet ready to play, maybe thatā€™s true of Kelleher and Jones as well.

Hopefully it means moves are close for Phillips, Woodburn and Awoniyi (officially).

Not sure why Musialowski or Marcelo wouldnā€™t be on the bench, assuming little knocks.

Awoniyi has been confirmed by Union Berlin.

Wonder is Kelleher going out on loan or is JĆ¼rgen happen enough with him but wants to see has Adrian or especially Karius improved. Iā€™m clutching at straws there but strange as no Kelleher maybe precaution if hurt.

Shame to see Karius play, but we also have to ā€œshowā€ players to potential buying clubs early in pre-season sometimes.

Poor Davies, his debut for the club and one of probably the last games he plays for us. And heā€™s surrounded by Karius, Beck, Clarkson and Cain.

:joy:

I hope Konate plays LCB and not Rhys, since Matip is the fittest of our 3 returners and he only played RCB so far for us.

Weā€™ll see if itā€™s Taki or Origi central in the first team.

Looks like a double pivot in the second game, potentially Ox up top?

Looking at line up must be Ox in the midfield rather than the 9. Canā€™t imagine Harvey there

We are playing against a team called Wacker.

How many know what that means in scouseā€¦

Phew! That could have been much worse :joy:

:joy: I keep misreading it wonker

When did Neco Williams and Harry Wilson join the camp???

@Euphoria Kelleher is at the top of the pack. Klopp will use him against stronger teams.

Might be tough in that team but Iā€™m interested to see how Kaide Gordon looks, he was sensational at u18 level after signing for Derby last year. Wonder if weā€™ll see a similar comfort as Elliot against Lyon a couple of years ago.

Why is it a shame to see Karius play?
