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:



that was when we were under rafa wasnt it?

think saw woodburn in the preseason photos. anyone think that he might be able to break through somehow?

Tends to be how they’ve organised lactate testing in previous years too.

Can’t be long until we get the annual video of Milner embarrassing everyone else.

Like this quote on the aims for the season:

"This season we want to make you proud, with our type of football and our energy. We believe that the better we play, the more games we will play this season. That will be the target: play as many games as we can. Let’s keep creating memories together!"

I love this little paragraph:

"Then for all the young talents who have come with us, our message is enjoy and keep this “updated” phrase of Bob Paisley in your mind – we search for a player who nutmegs Virgil van Dijk in training but steps politely aside for him in the corridor. Some football rules will never change, that’s what I love so much about this game."

They only flew out this morning I think, judging by the little video on the LFC social media earlier.

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?

The Barca game was a great trip. I know it was a friendly but watching the likes of Mane dominate in that game, I started to realise we had a chance at doing something special with the squad. Barca had Messi and Suarez starting and they brought on iniesta at one point

Ah yes, playing Mainz pre-season again, that’s what I like to see.  Maybe LFC will win this time  ;D

It's become a tradition for us to get tonked by Mainz in pre-season though.  ;D

We have decent seasons after, so no worries.  Funny that Klopp was the manager during 2006 when Mainz won 5-0.  Although we did beat his Dortmund 4-0 at Anfield in pre-season.

No photos of him but Pep said this in his training camp diary notes, "We say a big welcome to Ibrahima Konate: just listen to James Milner and everything will be fine!" - so presumably he's knocking about.

He'll be blowing out his arse if he's stuck with Milner for pre-season.
