Say what you will, but I have loved watching the pre-season training videos. Not the games. They are boring. My 16 year old couldn't believe how intense the rondos and counterpressing games were. Forget being a pro player, I got really envious of the guys getting to train top level players. Well worth the month of free access on liverpoolfc.tv. Probably won't renew for the season though, unless they do more training vids.
Agreed. Watched the latest one with a long viewing of the rapid 3 v 3 that was happening. Really great to see and imperative to our counter attacking form.
Why in the flying frogfish fuck would Celtic decide to play a friendly with first team players inbetween their CL tie with Midgetlland?
Haha why ask me !? One supposes because they were seen to not up to full match fitness and needed the run out.
On the basis this was done after 30 June his contract would have expired so I think we would be entitled to training compensation only (which won't be a great deal as he only joined us 4 years ago).
We offered him a new contract a few months back and I assume we will have done this to protect our entitlement to the training compensation, rather than because we wanted him to stay. Chances are the terms of that contract were never going to be acceptable to him so we just did it to meet the required fact pattern (player under 24, rejects contract from existing club, moves to another club when his original contract expires).
He was out of contract so we only get some money for compensation (about 250k).
We would have got more if he'd stayed in England
Cue for a song? "Yasser, that's mah baby"....
If we did get a fee for him, it probably wouldn't have even paid for Shaqiri's wage this week.
Origi is out for being shit and useless.
He's always been a streaky player and had a quiet streak last season. I'm hopeful he'll be terrorising Prem defences again this time around.
Elliot - trying hard but faded.
Konate - looks secure and has a great pass from the back.
Tsimikas - did ok, a little suspect defensively. Created the first goal with good anticipation.
Taki - trying hard but still looks weak. He was on his ass so often. Scored our 2nd off a nice team move.
Salah - looking sharp and involved. Great back heel for our 2nd.
Trent - got done a couple of times, looks leggy.
Keita - a couple of moment of brilliance. Made some decisive tackles which put us right back on the offensive.
The rest - did ok.
