Gerrard's Testimonial Tickets

[Batigol 119]

Yeah, looks like he's been shifted to accommodate Allen. I don't like that one bit.

 

I wouldn't say it's just to accommodate Allen. We shifted him out there last season on many occasions when Allen was out injured, just don't understand it tbh.

 

I feel he could really rip the league apart if we let him loose in the centre. Drifts out of games too much out wide. He's our most creative player and should be where he can cause the most damage imo.

[GJM 118]

Allen, Lucas and Gerrard have all been very good in the pre-season games and they've continued that today. And on Coutinho's position, when we played with 2 strikers against Thailand, he played most of the game centrally, even when Allen was playing. The reason I think he is coming in from the left in this game is because Sterling is playing, rather than Borini. Personally, I'm glad that we have more than one way of arranging our front line.

Allen's finishing has been poor, but his movement has been excellent.

[James Dean 284]

Should've had a hattrick Joe Allen. Been very good though.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

We're winning again? I'm gutted. Let's find something else to moan about. Ah, yes, Coutinho. Let's pin that on the manager. Why's he destroying his career?

[Bobby Hundreds 8,691]

Allen's forward runs have been good hes getting about a bit. Throw Sturridge in and if we keep Suarez I think we'd do better than fucking arsenal.

[James Dean 284]

What a ball and what a run. Shame.

[GJM 118]

Coutinho is just a joy.

[Spy Bee 3,394]

Sterling looking like the player we all thought he was going to be so far as well. YOu can't read too much into this kind of match, but a few players look very sharp.

[Innova 188]

I really hope to see a 30 yard screamer from gerrard today.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Allen's forward runs have been good hes getting about a bit. Throw Sturridge in and if we keep Suarez I think we'd do better than fucking arsenal.

 

Yep, add in Costa and maybe Papa, and I'd probably bet on us being as good if not better than them.

I agree. he takes some vey good positions. It's very frustrating though.

 

We are playing a very decent football I may add.

Not even close unless we get a decent tackling midfielder and set piece height.

[James Dean 284]

Pretty enjoyable that.

 

Aspas and Allen perhaps the standout players. Good performances all round though.

[Dr. J 813]

Aspas has got quality. Sterling playing like wants to start - good to see.

[Batigol 119]

Decent half that once we clicked into gear. It's the right decision to take it as a proper pre season game. Should set us up well for Stoke.

 

The Sturridge and Suarez situations are a pity but other that, we're looking sharp. Feels like ages since we had a proper pre season, with most of our players fit and raring to go come first day of the season.

 

Get those two main transfers done, pray that Lucas doesn't get injured & get off to a good start, then we could well sneak 4th this season. It'd be great if Suarez strings Arsenal along until an hour to go then laughs at Arsenal, fucking up their window!

 

Hoping to see Ibe get a good run out in the second half.

[James Dean 284]

Alpas it is then.

[therevivalist 80]

Pretty enjoyable that.

 

Aspas and Allen perhaps the standout players. Good performances all round though.

 

Agreed, both outstanding. Shows why Allen is no holding midfielder. Aspas Rodger's new revelation. And Sterling on this form to be a starter.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I really hope Allen can keep this performance level up from pre-season and carry it into the league. Maybe some will give him a bit of space to breath and improve into the player he clearly has the potential to be.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Alpas it is then.

 

Sounds like Almond milk or something.

Sterling looking like the player we all thought he was going to be so far as well. YOu can't read too much into this kind of match, but a few players look very sharp.

 

Sterling is only 18-19 and is one of top talents in Europe, some fans writing him off after a slight dip in form last season was ridiculous especially considering he had injury problems.

[Bobby Hundreds 8,691]

Coutinho subtle class.

[PaulMcC 13]

Lucas is having a good game. So is Allen.

 

With Rodgers looking 20 more goals it's gonna be hard if they both play in midfield. Henderson would be a better bet for goals.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

He. Is. Ace.

[James Dean 284]

Another pass from the master. Another shite finish.
