Bradford - 2nd pre season friendly

Jones is very similar to Kent style wise and it's annoying. Kid needs to let go of the ball.
 
We should have had a pen, Origi was fouled.

Jones is looking a whole lot better.
 
Jones hesitates too much. Holds up the play. The kid is extremely talented, if he just developed his game intelligence a bit he'd definitely be a good squad option
 
Well that was a boring 2nd half. Bradford parked the bus. Indecisive and unimaginative attacking play from us.
Gomez was easily MOH.
 
Millar looks like a very good player not afraid to take on players on the wing. Wilson has not taken his chance so far in pre season. He needs to go out on loan again or maybe sold.

On wiki, he had no goals in all his appearances. I hope its not like that for him st youth level.
 
[article][Jurgen Klopp has joked he doesn't hope Maurizio Sarri wants to sign Adam Lallana after he starredin a holding midfield role against Bradford City on Sunday.

Former Chelsea boss Sarri faced plenty of criticism when he moved N'Golo Kante out of the defensive midfield position in favour of Jorginho.

Klopp was impressed by Lallana's performance in the 3-1 win and thinks he could fill a similar role to Jorginho in his Reds team.

"Adam is the kind of player who can play that and he enjoys this 'Jorginho role' – I hope Maurizio Sarri doesn't see the games or he will make an offer!" Klopp said following the match.

"It is about getting Adam rhythm, bringing him in early and doing things he is naturally good at: small spaces, passing the ball, and then from time to time offering the runs in behind as well, and together with Milly (James Milner) that is possible. For us it is another option.

"He needs a bit of luck, like we all do in life. We have to come through without injuries, that would be cool, and then we have a couple of new players, I would say, this season."[/article]
 
Why we've held on to Lallana is a mystery? He hasn't a goal or an assist in what, 2 years?

Can't be trusted to stay fit. Doesn't have the game to contribute off the bench. What exactly is his value?

Can only imagine he’s a great role model around the club and trains well.

All in all he’s a been a poor sighing on the pitch at least.
 
Impressed with Brewster again and Curtis Jones in the 2nd half. Adam Lewis showed some nice passing and crossing, but was rash in Moreno-ing away the penalty. Larouci couldn't build on his good performance from last time out and Hoever was also strangely subdued (his teammates barely passed to the right flank though). Woodburn should also be disappointed at not being able to control the game in the 2nd half when we desperately needed some creativity.

Nate Phillips seems like a trustworthy kind of CB – I don't see exceptional qualities that would make him world-class, but if Lovren jets off to Milan I would not be too worried with Phillips as our 4th choice. Looking forward to seeing Sepp in action. Among senior players, Milner has been on fire again, Ox looked a lot more positive than last time – but still clearly rusty and sometimes showing frustration with himself. Lallana in the Jorginho role was interesting – he does have some qualities for it, but hopefully Klopp doesn't think of this as any kind of serious long-term solution.

Lallana long-term in the Jorginho role would be a disaster. He dawdles on the ball way too often to play there effectively. If he tries a Cruyff turn there, it's over.

Not that it's going to happen, but still.
