Liverpool (N) - Community Shield - Sat 30th July, 17:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Tangled up in blue.]

If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.

Show’em, Bernard.

Proud of you Bernie, good lad

Can't see him playing Foden Stones or Gundo. Maybe second half cameos as not had match time.

Conversely I can see him playing them. He'll want match minutes in their legs and I dont think he takes the Community Shield too seriously, still like a warm up game

They definitely played one game in Croatia. Wouldn't be surprised if they played 2 or 3 in the week they were over there

Alfie to smash the scouse fuckers.

Are we having a minutes silence for the several thousand who didn’t get into the CL final with forged tickets?

Of course..

 

[stonerblue]

Spot on the foul on sane was deliberate that day klopps a scumbag and haaland will defo be targeted. He knows their cultish fans will be celebrating if haaland gets injured and and he’d probably be gurning and fist pumping on the touch line if it happened

The lad can look after himself. I'd let him take Virgil out.

 

[stonerblue]

If it goes to penalties lads, shoulders back smash it.

Straight over the bar...?

 

[stonerblue]

Where are people headed for pre match beers?

Kitchen

 

[citizen_maine]

Come on guys, I know Haaland doesn't have a perfect injury record but he's not made of fucking glass. If we didn't feel comfortable playing him against the only club in England that regularly pushes us for major honours, we wouldn't have bought him. Scoring past Van Dijk and Alisson would be a perfect way to kick off his time in England and shut the doubters up early.

Of course, if he doesn't score...

 

[stonerblue]

Stand up for the champions…..

STAND UPPP FOR THE CHAMPIONS..

 

[stonerblue]

Don't think we'll win this one unless we are 3 up after 60 mins. Lack of full match fitness compared to the dippers will see us struggle for the last 30 mins.

They looked pretty fit last week

They have friendly this week. Against a German side, I think.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Pep gave his team an extra week off, but seeing how we beat Bayern Munich I think we can just scrape this one, it might be a bit rocky until October bit if we can replace Zinchenko with an upgrade we should be right up there.

That's the town centre pubs but there's also a few pubs and a social club for Blues as well, in Aylestone. Hosted and organised by East Midlands CSA. So far, nearly 2,000 Blues booked in.

Say this every year - still NOT a trophy, glorified pre-season.
I don't care who we play, I genuinely don't care about the result.
More minutes in the legs, and a chance to look at some younger fringe players
(Can we add an "I don't care" option, interested if others agree)

If we win it it’s not a trophy,if the red scousers win it the media declare it a trophy and the first of the season..

Agree about the trophy/occassion,but we have reached a situation where no game against these filthy fuckers can ever be described as a friendly or of no consequence.

 

[applecentral]

Cue thunderous applause! :-)

We rained on their parade.

I don’t want the nordic meat shield anywhere near these scrubbers until it means something
