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

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

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.

Cue thunderous applause! :-)

We rained on their parade.

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