So Robertson, Jota, Shaquiri, Thiago probably back in around 2 weeks and Henderson, Bellingham, Allison, Firmino, Fabinho back in just over 3 weeks?

Really great to see Matip, Virgil, Joe, and Konate all there from day one of pre-season. Really important considering our defensive injury woes last season. Hopefully a proper pre-season means less injuries!

Any chance we play 3-5-2 this season at some point?

4 banging centre backs on one squad….

Have the club confirmed any pre-season fixtures yet? Can't see them listed anywhere.

Apparently LFC the only Premier League Team not to have announced any Pre-Season fixtures;

Not as good a quartet but when we’re you thinking: Hyypia, Carragher, Agger, Skrtel?

Looking through the Teams, Man City only have the Community Shield listed as their only 'pre-season friendly'

Good job this starts after the Euros finish on Sunday- have the proper footy back!

You'd guess first match would be next weekend, against an as yet unannounced team?

We were supposed to play Man Utd twice but then their fans went on a rampage at Old Trafford so we cancelled the plans.

We're playing Rangers aren't we? Not sure if we've announced it officially though.

Samie · « **Reply #51 on:** July 9, 2021, 09:03:56 pm »

Rangers and Osasuna have been rumoured for the Anfield friendly. I guess we might play Salzburg again in our Austrian camp tour?

We might even play a premier league team we're not facing in the first two months of fixtures.

I read that as Quaresma for some reason. Need to give the transfer forum a rest.

I am sure the media can find something to suggest that he wants away or we want to sell him. What no massed band to welcome him? Jurgen nowhere to be seen in the picture? Sadio deliberately refusing to be anywhere near him? He wants away cue Talksport.

Hopefully we get Virg training with the team pics this week! And Joe and Joel of course but not sure what stage everyone is at.

Surprised not to see James Balagizi on the list. Maybe an injury.

Yep, according to the Echo he's injured

Apart from Trent’s injury, this summers tournaments could not have gone better for us and our players.

Looking forward to see how the defenders coming back from injury get on in pre-season

We can't do much worse than the time they beat us 5-0 about fifteen years ago, which we proved a few years back when they only beat us 4-0. A 3-0 defeat or less will show the clear improvement of this team under Klopp.

Was that last one the day after we beat Barca 4-0 at Wembley?

And the one from 2006 was when Pepe played in midfield I think?! Was Klopp boss at that time?

Yeah, they played 2 games in 24 hours, so two different teams.

And yes he was Mainz coach in that first game, photo from that day:
