Liverpool Season: 2021-22

On one hand I’m really happy that the players are getting a long and very well deserved break. Even those on NT duties are likely to have three weeks break.

On the other hand I’m surprised that Klopp decided to have a short preseason. Anyway, my only concern at the moment is the Euro and the Copa. Not sure how many of our lot are going to return unscathed.

Going against the grain of the discussion, but I firmly believe that barring any serious injuries to our best players we’ll be the best team in Europe next season. We’re just too classy all over the pitch.

So Euro is about to begin, Copa will go ahead as well.

That means senior players who will be available at the start of the training sessions are:

Adrian, Kelleher, Trent, Matip, VVD, Gomez, Konate, Davies, Philips, Williams, Tsimikas, Milner, AOC, Keita, Curtis, Mane, and Origi.

These seniors will be joined by a host of Academy/Youth players and the most notable among them is a certain Harvey Elliott.

Grabara, Karius, Seep, Grujic, Wilson, Ojo, and Awoniyi are rumored to be on their way out and they may or may not still be a Red when the training starts.

No mention of Matip :grimacing:

Happy that Joe is there, surprised really, didn’t think I would see him do this type of training for a few months.

Matips is a father since last week. Really too early to leave his wife and son alone.

The match is said to be as part of a tribute to former Liverpool midfielder Michael Robinson, who went on to play the final two years of his career with the Spanish side before becoming a household name in Spain for his TV and media work.

All three of our first fixtures are televised, all on a Saturday, one midday and two 5.30 kick offs.

It isn’t even a week since the fixture has been announced and already there’s change. Don’t PL consult with Sky before preparing the fixture?

There are always changes for TV…

No. They can’t really. The fixtures have to he generated then the TV companies can decide which games to show and slight changes can be made. Otherwise big games like United V Liverpool would be on every boxing day and City v Liverpool last game of the season etc. If the TV companies were involved in drawing up the original fixtures.

The games are same as before, so I guess only the timings has been changed.

Again: this is how it works. The fixture list is published; then kick off times get shifted about for television coverage but have to remain in the same game week.

I added the .ics file from the following fixture site to my calendar. They updated the calendar fairly regularly (if I remember correctly, they also add the scores afterwards).

CL and other cups (FA, energy drinks) related fixtures will be added later.

So you are saying he will play all our CL and FA Cup games! Love your optimism… :rofl:

I would love some type of status and our main injuries, where they are in rehab phase, etc. I think last I saw was Joe and Virgil doing ball work. Not sure if they were 100% at the contact phase. Matip I have no idea where he is in fitness terms. Ibu seems 100%, and his lack of playing time seems to have been down to not screwing up a done deal. He was fine in the 21 tournament. Trent 3 weeks away? That position not as critical as the 3 CB injuries, we have a few options there I think.
