I remember when we beat Barca 4-0 I’d thought Grujic was second coming of Lampard.

The overreaction of the media is something else.
They don’t mention that United are 1 week ahead of us training wise and some of our senior players only came back 1 day before the game.

Simon Stone is a fully qualified Manc. Worked for the MEN for years before getting the BBC gig. He will always give us as little credit as he can get away with and the Manc teams (United in particular) as little criticism as.he can get away with. No suprises whatsoever from anything that is published during this tour of the ‘far east’

I thought that was odd. Why do that in a practice match. “It’s only your own time that you’re wasting” as my high school teacher said to little effect.
Maybe gamesmanship has to be practised as well?

Not only from the press but on this forum as well. After conceding the first goal yesterday, a number of members went into meltdown calling for additional signings and the usual negative blah blah blah. Boggles the mind.

No way we can blame the players for such a humiliating scoreline. It’s Klopp who has to go.
to be fair to me i have only recently returned to the forum and am not fully fit yet.
We’re playing Palace on Friday and I’ve read that only 10 of their senior players travelled because of the others vaccination status.

Must win game.
IF we don’t win against palace then we need to sell the whole squad and start again. selling our best player has opened us up to being exposed as a one man team.
i fear relegation.
sorry I seem to have slipped into Everton fan mode again.

Jurgen Klopp has never been interested in making statements in pre-season, it’s all about the bigger picture and that’s why he used 32 different players against Manchester United, including 10 teenagers. It was all about gaining fitness.
A year ago, two special 30-minute friendlies were arranged against Wacker Innsbruck and Stuttgart at their training camp in Austria in order to ease his squad in gently after the summer break.
And he repeated the trick in Bangkok, as no outfield player clocked up more than half an hour. The fear was that pushing anyone for longer on the night, especially in such heat, would have increased the risk of injury.
The plan is to slowly crank it up so many will play 45 minutes against Crystal Palace in Singapore on Friday.

Yeah, but the TAN-branded asthma medication has helped there.
