That starting XI is possibly a bit indicative of how we might start against Man C in the Charity Shield.

Welcome to the Modo thread btw...

Yeah, it would be the natural choice but I don't think it's that certain. The others will be fitter, "readier".

 

[SummerOnions]

Is he refusing to play any wingers on the basis it is a plea to the board for us to sign one?

 

[hmmmmm1]

That’s a strong Napoli team

 

[Modo]

Almost scored. Origi should have done better. Great cross by Robbo

 

[Woland]

I really didn't know you couldn't get ANY alcohol in Scottish football games.

Pre season - boring
Dry - double boring

Think I'll head off soon

 

[Modo]

Wijnaldum got elbowed

 

[Modo]

Sloppy pass by Trent almost puts us in danger. Saved by offside

 

[Modo]

Origi loses the ball, Napoli counters. Cuts in , goal. 0-1 Insigne

 

[hmmmmm1]

Carved open by insigne.

 

[Modo]

Origi down. Arm to the back of the head.

 

[Modo]

Have to say, the midfield trio of Milner, Henderson and Fabinho is just as creative as you'd imagine.

 

[hmmmmm1]

That midfield is pretty poor even when you have the recognised front 3 playing

 

[Modo]

Origi has been wank so far.

Mhm

 

[Modo]

0-2 Milik

 

[Modo]

Terrible defending by Ox.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Aren’t we a couple weeks ahead of Napoli in terms of pre season. 2 nil to Napoli.

They look about 100X sharper than us

 

[LeTallecWiz]

this preseason is becoming more and more worrying with each game ...
beating tranmere and Bradford is one thing, but the last 3.5 games have just left us more and more questions ...

 

[Modo]

Oxlade has been terrible.

 

[doctor_mac]

SACK KLOPP!

 

[davud graham]

Chamberlain playing like when we first signed him

 

[hmmmmm1]

It will take a few months for ox to get back to fitness.

 

[Brizzle]

This team won’t be up to much in the community shield. Ox not an RW, Gini now a LW. Gini should be in the midfield and an actual winger with attacking instincts in the front three. Hope we have better plans than this in the 3-4 weeks we’ll be without Mane.

Matip was shite for their first goal although it came from dross CF play by Origi.

We're missing Alisson, Salah, Firmino, Mane, Shaqiri and Keita. Its not rocket science that we look disjointed and all over the place when we are set up like this.
Conceding silly goals is maybe the only this that could be worrying. But its pre season so there isnt any point in either worrying or being overly excited if you're winning every game.

We'll be ready for Norwich, thats the most important thing.

The pre season before Rodgers was sacked, we won every game. Ignore the results

Pre season games are about as interesting as watching paint dry. If you can't even have a pint, why do that to yourself?
