It's not they're just getting battered, it's that they're making basic mistakes that won't just stop because its not preseason. Low crosses into the box aren't being blocked or cleared, slow against the counter, etc..

Plus they've been battered by multiple teams who are far below premier league quality

Our last pre-season was awful, and not just results-wise. We struggled with basic defending, lost to Sporting Lisbon, Borrusia Dortmund, drew to Club America, lost to New York Red Bulls.

The season before that we lost to the Orlando Pirates and the Kaiser Chiefs. Nowhere near Prem standard clubs. We also lost to Rangers and we drew to Barnsley.

Yet those two seasons we finished 5th and 3rd.

Pre-season games are NOT about results, nor about how valiantly you defend. They are about fitness and giving the odd reserve player a run out.

You can argue that it's wishful thinking for Liverpool to hope for more than a 5th place finish but you simply cannot judge at this point how good they'll be.

Not saying they're gonna be any good, just saying you can't judge off a pre-season game.

Fair enough mate I guess we'll see when the season starts but I think they have a long way to go before they are top 4 quality.

Yeah, I can't see them getting top 4 this season either but I think they'll finish above Spurs in 5th. Might give Arsenal a run for their money though if Wenger doesn't bring in replacements for the players he has outgoing.

One of the most over rated players ever! a couple of seasons of being a big fish in a small pond, before that when he played in Scotland he was bloody awful, Blackpool have really done well getting the amount they did for him
 
Re: Liverpool are awful

Dogleash is selling his best player besides Suarez - Aquilani. He's done a lot to turn this game around.

Kiss of death watched the 2nd half! 3-2 Bin Dippers LOL
 
Re: Liverpool are awful

Dippers bottle it, 3-3 deep into added time. :D<br /><br />-- Mon Aug 01, 2011 7:56 pm --<br /><br />Discarding good footballers like Aquilani and Meireles for mid-table players like Adam and Henderson, love it. :D

No doubt Liverpool have improved since the arrival of Dalglish but Liverpool fans being Liverpool fans are deluded and genuinly think they are strong title challangers.
