How did Aquilani do?

TepidT2O · « **Reply #1641 on:** July 13, 2011, 11:26:51 pm »

Just watched the highlights.

Coady has filled out a lot (or is it just me?)

He is a fucking monster, massive unit now.

His goal was really impressive.

A few good touch's and was good in the first 15 minutes. Faded as the game wore on.

Aquilani looked sharper than most, and was spraying "oooh" passes around for fun most of the time. A couple of times the way the crowd gasped reminded me of Hoddle at his best. Why we can't get good pound for him is beyond me.

Good run out and pleasing to see Cole, Aquilani, Adam and Carroll show flashes of quality. Youngsters did very well, even Wisdom who had a few nerves but got stronger as the half progressed. Robinson was probably the pick of the youngsters already has that air of quality about him. Shame about goals conceded but it will happen at this stage of preseason. Something for Clarke to sort out. It is clear to see fluidity to the team being imprinted in the style of play too, and this will only improve as players get fitter and new players bed in. I am sure Kenny is pleased with how the boys have gone about their work and great to see him giving the youngsters a taste. Looking forward to the next game.

Well I thought it was a cracking little game to watch with so many positives for a 13th of July. Fucking great stuff all round.

Except Agger's bonce.

Oh, and Carroll's beard.

I wonder how it is playing with those electronic monitoring bras on lol. So were all the players wearing them? I bet Kuyt's heart rate was normal the whole game haha.

We had a 4-2-3-1 in each half, correct? What it looked like to me, but I am possibly off base.

Seemed to change between 433 and 4231 didn't it? Poulsen in front of the back 4, but Spearing sometimes dropping in, and Shelvey too at some points. Seemed pretty fluid, anyway. Then Coady playing deep, with Adam and Aquilani ahead of him.

Raul was carrying a knock. Expected to play some part in the next one.

only watched the 2nd half but aquilani looked brilliant. his technique to control the ball and break into full speed instantaneously is a wonder to behold. what he lacks in pace (not that he's a slowcoach) he more than makes up for with control and quick thinking.

So did Le Tallec in that pre-season game against Crewe. He was pulling the strings and demanding the ball like Zidane.

The rest is history.

So? It's not like that was Aquilani's only great game. He's a great player and it will be a blow if we sell him, simple.

As someone who lives in a climate very similar to Guangdong, I can attest that working out in that heat and humidity without getting accustomed to it will wreak havoc on your fitness. 10 minutes out there and the guys were already drenched!

MiddleMan · « **Reply #1662 on:** July 14, 2011, 02:55:52 am »

finally got to watch it. interesting to see how we're now set up to play.

one big thing i've noticed is the space our wingers kuyt and maxi got because, i could only assume, they were instructed to stay wide, rather than come in for the pass. no doubt having charlie adam will only help this. now that we've downing as well, this will get very dangerous!

It's not so bad at 5.45pm. I am already in Kuala Lumpur and it's been cloudy since yesterday. It's humid yes but hardly melting conditions.

I don't mean RAWK. I know most RAWKites are sound. What I mean was the media. Didn't take long for them to say our defense need some work to do. Or the headline; EVEN POULSEN SCORED.

One of their import players. He was sound actually..caused the center half's some problems when he did have the ball. Not a bad player but not sure if he is premier league quality though.

Wasnt he the lad that Flanagan owned over and over again?

4goals and the team created plenty of chances and played entertaining football at times, cant fault that.
Conceding 3 isnt great but its a pre season friendly where we used our number 2,3 and 4 goalkeepers and gave plenty of youngsters a chance. No need to worry.

oh and how nice is it to see liverpool play again after 6weeks of nothing. Cant wait for the season to begin!

The Reds Arrive In Malaysia

SEPANG, July 14 (Bernama) -- The Liverpool FC team, now on an Asian tour, arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport here from Guangzhou, China at 4.25am today for a friendly match with the Malaysian national squad this Saturday.

Upon arrival at the airport, the English Premier League Club players were taken straight away to their hotel in Damansara.

Fans of the Reds will be able to watch the players at a practice session at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil at 7pm today.

This is their first visit to Malaysia.

Without their captain Steven Gerrard on this trip, the Reds will be facing the Malaysian Tigers at 5.45pm this Saturday at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil.

Malaysia is Liverpool's second stop of their Asian Tour 2011 after China where they edged Guangdong Sunray Cave 4-3 in a friendly there.

So the training will be at 7PM. I can't wait.
