Liverpool V AC Milan

[stringvest]

They might have the talent to make it (like Cresswell for example) but the problem is they need games to develop, and they can't get games with the bigger clubs, because the bigger clubs have no appetite for them learning (and making mistakes) on the job. One might think that it's better to abandon the youth policy altogether.

No, we tried that, and we still suffer from the legacy in that we are unable to attract the best youth talent. We just need to get better at it. As with just about every aspect of the club.

Looking at that kit, here's the highlights of the match.

[Grinch]

Was a bit surprised at Migs keeping a clean sheet, then I noticed Milan didnt have a shot on target.

[Lee909]

Just watched the highlights on youtube.

 

Good goals.

How long before Origi is the starter ahead of Sturridge. He really is developing nicely. Fast,good finisher and looks very strong too.

 

Quite excited by Ojo too.

 

Noticed at the end Moreno nowhere to be found on Honda's late header.

 

Really disappointed we dodnt at least bring competition in for him

Ha!

[Lario]

Ojo looks a freak of nature.

 

If he doesn't "do a Sterling", he's gonna be a world beater.

I would say two weeks.

 

Sturridge is class.  But Origi has everything.

[jimmycase]

Fuck me, we've no excuse for misplaced passes wearing that kit on a dark night,! Fluorescent or what?

 

Still, anyone who views these as anything more than a glorified training game is bound to be left underwhelmed.

 

A good workout for the players. Origi showing his eye for goal and but for picky officiating, would have had 2 goals in the game. To be frank, he looked head and shoulders over sturridge. He looked hungrier and more direct which might be a worry if sturridge continues to look lackadaisical.

 

There were a few nice touched by sturridge but just not enough. And I still dont get why we lose more 50 / 50 tackles than we win.

 

Lallana? Meh.

[razor]

Why's Moreno being criticized? He did nothing wrong this match and he assisted Origi's goal. The bias against him is getting a little ridiculous.

 

By only having one foot with which he will kick the ball, thereby limiting his ability to move the ball on to the best possible option.  In short.

 

There is also the being caught out of position, but there's enough there to be getting on with.

Good run out that. We certainly have some pace going forward and if we can convert a few more chances then we will cause some problems for most teams. . Hope Klopp gets some cover at the back before the season starts, With Lucas in his way we have even fewer options.

[Grinch]

Id rather see Origi start the season too. It makes me laugh when I see Sturridge described as pacy, the guy barely moves faster than a brisk walk these days.

 

Origi is far from the finished article but at least there's potential there to be top class. Injuries have robbed Sturridge any chance of that.

[Ted]

Only just found out it was Paletta who Ojo jogged past for the second goal.

 

If he's a footballer, so is Oscar Pistorius.

[Ted]

Did Benteke not get in the squad last night?

[dave u]

The only thing worse than watching Paletta trying to run, is looking at his haircut.

 

He mustn't have a razor in his house as he's still rocking the egg in the nest look no baldy has had since the 80s. Just shave it all off, you big goon.

[The Golden Eel]

Sturridge behind Origi is the way to go. Sturridge is more of a second striker now imo

[jimmycase]

Dont believe so.

He's also the cunt that stood on Origi's ankle when he was lying on the ground.

Firmino has the Dirk Kuyt's about him, he really comes alive in the final third and has a real knack for popping up at the right place at the right time.

he reminds me more of luis garcia

[TheHowieLama]

Mane has been very bright going forward.

If anything I was more impressed by his work tracking back. Certainly some nerves last night but he is going to be good.

[Jairzinho]

A combination of Kuyt and Garcia would be a pretty decent footballer.
