Chamberlain startedwell

Nice to see him fit, like a new signing if you think about it. He also has a great attitude towards the game. Wilson............shit, great ball by James. 

[Bjornebye]

Dodgy Gomez there 

[Lee909]

Causing all our own problems 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

We've basically started with 3 players who'll get near our opening 11. 

[Lee909]

Balls holding up horribly

[Red74]

Is Steve Hunter paid by the word?

[Lee909]

Mexican waves

 

One for the shitty side of football thread 

[Trojan1892]

His voice goes through me....

[Arl arse]

Shocking defending so far.

[Bjornebye]

They said earlier thats a new pitch. Bollocks. Like they are playing on sand 

[Lee909]

Good cross

Trump will not be liking this. Notre Dame Stadium won#t be getting any favours.

Only Matip will get near the starting 11 mate.

The grass they use for American football is much thicker. 

[Trojan1892]

Rather play a youth player than Clyne, he’s shite.

Hang on...you saying Klopp doesn't know what he's doing? If he thought he needed new players he'd have bought a few, he still might. We still have weeks before it all kicks off....nice to see you've set your stall out early. I knew the CL would count for fuck all with some fans once the dust settled. Can you not wait until the actual season starts before going down your usual route? Don#t take it personal, but you are one miserable sod when it comes to something you should be taking joy from. 

I never said Klopp does not know what he is doing....i do know though that Klopp puts massive importance in pre season, it is why we play so many games and why he works his players so hard in it.

 

I loved the story that was quoted this week about how at Dortmund he had his players in pre season spread eagled on deck after 10 intense drills in pre season - they were in bits and he said to them if doing an 11th drill means you win league.....and they all got up and did it.   

I'm just saying that having our entire first choice front line not having that full pre season or maybe having it late or on their own/staggered etc is bad luck, a real potential problem and something that could be a problem.

 

Let's hope it does not mean they struggle to get going or end up struggling around christmas etc and that all 3 stay fit and fire.

Only the smaller and poorer schools.

[Arl arse]

Nice finish Wilson.

[Lee909]

1-1

 

American Football fields are often turf, especially indoot stadiums

[niallers]

He may not make it at us but that boy can finish

We had no choice about our entire front line (1-1 as I type) not having a full pre season, they'll be fine. Last year we went into things on the back of a World cup with a lot of players going deep into it. 

[Lee909]

Reckon Dortmund might regret giving Bayern 35ml for Hummells. Reckon he's done myself. Though most of Dortmund CBs looked shite when I saw them last year

[neopulian]

Milner's shirt is drenched, must be from him pouring water on it? Or is it really that warm?
