Topic: LFC Squad - World Cup Break

[Lycan]

We need to work on our penalties.

[Lycan]

Doak is a force of nature

A real pocket dynamo.

[Boaty McBoatface]

Nunez with a thunderbolt!

[redgriffin73]

Darwin taking the piss there

[afc tukrish]

Do-Ak apparently 

Benny from the Loch? 

[SamLad]

any word on why Ramsay wasn't involved?

[So… Howard Philips]

A knock from the LFCTV commentary.

Could miss only one game or require a trip to Lourdes, knowing our luck.

Needs to learn how better to deal with media criticism...

thanks mate.

[Chakan]

Did we win the shootout? I turned off and only remembered later

[redgriffin73]

Lost 4-3

Kostas and Naby missed, Clark, Carvalho and Darwin scored.

[marmite sw]

i think with friendly games that penalties are a clever idea forget the silly point but the frama of trying to win a penalty shootout againts another team must be good for those keepers n players asacually taking them rather than practist againts your own team mates in training i see it as a posative thing

[Fordy]

What a ball by Billy Clark for the Nunez goal.

Sorry Bobby Clark.

[Angelius]

How did Naby do?

[Boaty McBoatface]

So good that they've renamed him Bobby.

  Think the commentator had a Klingon'ish delivery

[Boaty McBoatface]

for those who were able to watch it .... who stood out (good or bad)?

Matip had a good game, solid defensively and assisted the first goal with a typical mazy run.
Bajetic played the 6 role well all game. He covered the ground and was tidy in possession.
Robbo and Kelleher should have done better for their goal. Ox was the quietest first half.
Second half was a bit more disjointed but we still pressed well all game.
Nunez was sharp and clumsy at the same time. Doak was a livewire.
And a shout out to Frauendorf who played right back in the second half. Didn't let the side down.

good stuff - thanks Boaty.

[reddebs]

You can tell who's at home in the desert 😁

[Boaty McBoatface]

They're not in the desert. They're on Crosby beach, I can see the sand dunes in the background.

And I was going to put hot sand instead 🤦

[Mighty_Red]

Good to see a few goals, should make Darwin feel a little better after a tough few weeks. Doak looks such a prospect, sometimes it feels like we should just unleash him off the bench to cause chaos.

[Ghost Town]

How did Naby do?

He was fine. Passed well, broke up play, lots of little short passes to nearby players, one long forward pass which didn't lead to anything (not as sumptuous as Clark's), towering header to win a ball in the 91st minute.

Almost everyone did well, pretty much, except a bit of sloppy, defending for their goal. One or two were a bit passengerish but no point in pointing fingers after a friendly

[stockdam]

Some great goals. Loved Matip’s run for the first goal plus the way Mo took it.

[Aldo1988]

Lost one, then we won one, doubt we'll make top 4.

[oojason]

Qapla, Ben Doh-ak!

Billy Clarke, son of Lee... Glory to you and your house.




That commentator must have lost a bet pre-match - think he butchered near-on everyone's name during the match... yet still did better than most on BBC, ITV & Sky

I was particularly impressed with him falling on his arse, twice, followed up by taking his first goal like a true striker.

And he certainly loves a shot. Just need someone ready for the tap ins when the goalie doesn’t hold on to the ball

Just rewatched the Liverpool-Milan game. Does anyone else feel that Elliiot was totally anonymous?

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Thank fuck that shite is over.

Hopefully back to proper football now and not that steaming pile of donkey evacuated sweetcorn infested diarrhoea

[Studgotelli]

I’ve enjoyed taking a break from the PL. Really enjoyable WC for me. Back to absolute shite refs, City walking every game as every team gives up against them and arguing about much game time Milner and Elliot are getting. 

[marmite sw]

it was a sham before it started hope theres never a world cup mid season again however i fear there will be because fifa did very well from it

[rojo para la vida]

Guilty pleasure here and I generally hate international football. I know I shouldn't have enjoyed it but I did.
That said, I can't recall looking forward to a December League Cup tie as much as this week's one, especially after the Milan game. Nunez really looks up for it.

Exactly, this World Cup was refreshing break from the cheating refs, opposition fans singing disgraceful songs and City/Pep cry-arsing their way to another title.

Not a fan of Strictly then?

[Samio]

Some people try too hard to hate on the WC.

I don't love it because of England, not at all.

I love it because it's groups of lads from the same nation giving everything for their country. The clash of styles is great too, the culture..... And there isn't a state funded team in sight that spunks billions to crush their rivals.

It's great.

You don't think there is any reason why some people boycotted this particular World Cup?

[Samio]

My thoughts are in general. And the people that generally say they hate international football/tournaments.

Did the players, playing for their country have any bearing on who this WC was award to? No. They turned up wanting to do their best for their country. I appreciate this, and the fact that other nations are patriotic - even if I'm not personally.
